this is my first introduction to your channel and being a Māori from Whakatane (great pronunciation btw) who LOVES asmr, this is superrr comforting! ❤ as for the other pronunciations which were also really good, i would say the easiest way to say them would be Tauranga [toe-rung-ah] and Rotorua [raw-tore-oo-ah] with the “R” sounds being rolled 😊 otherwise I love this video!! thank you for sharing our history ❤
I would love to see more videos of New Zealand! I grew up there and just moved overseas this year so it’s nice to hear a bit more about home as I fall asleep😊
You made a really good improvement in pronunciation. Thank you for putting in the effort. Regarding the trees, most of the places you pointed would be pine tree plantations. Pine trees grow fast in New Zealand, I think around 25 years to get to the right height. But they are used for timber; they are chopped down and then replanted.
I truly appreciate that you are focusing on my part of the world I feel the world only knows Auckland and maybe wellington. I grew up in Tokoroa which is in the Waikato really close to Rotorua. Thanks for the video!
As someone from Bay of Plenty this video makes for an amazing asmr experience 🎉 Your pronunciation is very good for someone who’s first language isn’t Māori/Te Reo, little things that everyone gets muddled up with because of our vowels and spelling but keep up the amazing videos ❤
Have you heard about the White Island volcano eruption? There used to be excursions out to the active volcano and it exploded with people on the island in 2019. Really sad story, not sure exactly why I’m bringing it up. Hard not to think about it watching this.
Yes. Rotorua has a very distinct smell. You know when you’re getting close. But you’re right you kinda get used to it. Even just visiting it’s not unbearable obviously since it’s so popular.
There was logging around Tarawera, but of course a lot of forest was destroyed in the eruption too. It’s actually a myth / saying that when the mountain is entirely reforested it will erupt again. I also think there is some evidence that the terraces are at the bottom of lake rotomohana.

I hope people are not mean about your pronunciation. You are doing better than many who live here and it's fabulous to see you trying.

The drowsiness that comes over me while watching shows it's working well.❤👍

My Dad is from this area. Most of my Aunts and uncles still live in Rotorua, and Tauranga. We live in the states now.
you are very clever, thank you for sharing so much of valuable information with us 🥰😍
