Otago (/əˈtɑːɡoʊ, oʊ-, ɒ-/;New Zealand [əˈtɐːɡɐʉ̯]) is a region of New Zealand in the south of the South Island administered by the Otago Regional Council. It has an area of approximately 32,000 square kilometres (12,000 sq mi), making it the country's third largest local government region. Its population was 215,100 in the June 2015 estimate.
The name "Otago" is an old southern Maori word whose North Island dialect equivalent is "Otakou", introduced to the south by Europeans in the 1840s. The exact meaning of the term is disputed, with common translations being "isolated village" and "place of red earth", the latter referring to the reddish-ochre clay which is common in the area around Dunedin. "Otago" is also the old name of the European settlement on the Otago Harbour, established by the Weller Brothers in 1831, which lies close to the modern harbourside community of Otakou. The place later became the focus of the Otago Association, an offshoot of the Free Church of Scotland, notable for its high-minded adoption of the principle that ordinary people, not the landowner, should choose the ministers.
New Zealand (/njuːˈziːlənd/ new-ZEE-lənd, Māori: Aotearoa [aɔˈtɛaɾɔa]) is an island country in the southwestern Pacific Ocean. The country geographically comprises two main landmasses – that of the North Island, or Te Ika-a-Māui, and the South Island, or Te Waipounamu – and numerous smaller islands. New Zealand is situated some 1,500 kilometres (900 mi) east of Australia across the Tasman Sea and roughly 1,000 kilometres (600 mi) south of the Pacific island areas of New Caledonia, Fiji, and Tonga. Because of its remoteness, it was one of the last lands to be settled by humans. During its long isolation, New Zealand developed a distinctive biodiversity of animal, fungal and plant life. The country's varied topography and its sharp mountain peaks, such as the Southern Alps, owe much to the tectonic uplift of land and volcanic eruptions. New Zealand's capital city is Wellington, while its most populous city is Auckland.
Somewhere between 1250 and 1300 CE, Polynesians settled in the islands that were to become New Zealand, and developed a distinctive Māori culture. In 1642, Abel Tasman, a Dutch explorer, became the first European to sight New Zealand. In 1840, representatives of the British Crown and Māori Chiefs signed the Treaty of Waitangi, making New Zealand a British colony. Today, the majority of New Zealand's population of 4.5 million is of European descent; the indigenous Māori are the largest minority, followed by Asians and Pacific Islanders. Reflecting this, New Zealand's culture is mainly derived from Māori and early British settlers, with recent broadening arising from increased immigration. The official languages are English, Māori and New Zealand Sign Language, with English predominant.

Kayaking? Yes, you can. Cycling? Yes, you can. Tramping? Yes, you can. Sightseeing? Yes, you can. Central Otago has a lot to offer to it's visitors but unfortunately it's missed by most who come to New Zealand. This magnificent place is for the winter lovers, summer sport junkies or just for who wish a cold beer at a nice and historic pub. So much to do, so much to see. So much I love this place.
An overview of the University of Otago. This video highlights key facts and figures about New Zealand's first University.
“Marassi Deluxe” è disponibile in digital download e streaming qui: https://umi.lnk.to/Marassi Il coraggio di un uomo, di un ragazzo che, nonostante la sua corporeità non sia vicina a quella dei ballerini professionisti, ci mette la forza, la passione e il carisma che, in poco tempo, gli permettono di diventare il re del quartiere. Una figura questa, che è un po' l'icona dell'eroe moderno. Il testo della canzone ha dei contenuti molto forti che nel video abbiamo voluto esaltare con la leggerezza, un’arma spesso usata da noi Otaghi per dare maggiore valore alle nostre canzoni. Specialmente in questo pezzo, dove abbiamo avuto il piacere e l'onore di ospitare Caparezza. Il quale, da vero maestro, ha saputo dimostrarsi molto incisivo in poche righe, regalandoci una strofa che ha dato potenz...
A weekend in Dunedin experiencing a piece of what the student life has to offer! *chill version

Dopo il lancio esclusiva su Deejay.it, è da oggi disponibile su youtube Il nuovo video di “Cinghiali Incazzati”, a opera di Lorenzo Martellacci e Serena Gargani. Cinghiali Incazzati è disponibile su iTunes ( http://apple.co/1RCcl4P); Spotify (http://spoti.fi/25fEkRW) e Deezer (http://bit.ly/1Rv0Ke9). Un lavoro che cattura la Genova post moderna nel quartiere di Marassi, rimasta fuori dalla canzoni di De Andrè, il posto più vicino a quello che si può definire casa per gli otaghi. Il posto da cui è partito tutto, il quartiere dove sono nati e cresciuti, un serpente di strade che arrivano fino al rifugio in cui ancora oggi si ritrovano tutte le settimane a scrivere canzoni, mangiare insieme e suonare. Un quartiere che ben rappresenta i giorni nostri, un quartiere di supermercati e palazzi...
“I giovani d’oggi” è il secondo singolo estratto dal album “Marassi”, in uscita in autunno per GarrinchaDischi/INRI, una riflessione sul gap generazionale, il conflitto tra giovani e anziani, animato dalla teoria secondo cui a trent’anni si è troppo giovani agli occhi dei più vecchi, ma troppo vecchi agli occhi dei più giovani. Il video descrive uno spazio all'apparenza anonimo che si rivela poi il posto in cui le due generazioni si incontrano e si scontrano, dove dialogo e divario si avvicendano. Il singolo è da oggi disponibile su tutte le piattaforme e gli store digitali: http://bit.ly/28JEM3H L'estate dei giovani d'oggi: 29/7 Meliciano Sound Party // Arezzo 30/7 Campeggio Resistente // Valloriate (CN) 31/7 Coccobello Chiostro di San Rocco // Carpi (MO) 25/8 AMA Music Festival //...

While Tauranga, Napier-Hastings and Hamilton have eclipsed the city in population in recent years to make it only the seventh largest city in New Zealand, Dunedin is still considered to be one of the four main cities of New Zealand for historic, cultural, and geographic reasons. Dunedin was the largest city by territorial land area until superseded by Auckland on the creation of the Auckland Council in November 2010. Dunedin was the largest city in New Zealand by population until about 1900. The city population at 5 Ma...

So about a couple of weeks ago we were down in Dunedin for the NZMSA conference. It was a super well organized conference and very thought provoking. It was also really nice to get away for the weekend and meet some old friends down in Otago who showed us around some of the best parts of the city. Here's a video of all the fun stuff that we got up to :) Music: 1.

Queenstown New Zealand Travel ~ Queenstown NZ Tourism Travel Videos HD, World Travel Guide http://www.youtube.com/subscription_center?add_user=World1Tube Things to see in Queenstown, New Zealand The spectacular mountain scenery and Lake Wakatipu dominate the view from many parts of town. Most attractions in Queenstown make the most of the view. It is enough reason to spend time in Queenstown if you choose not to do anything else. One of the best views is from the top of Bob's Peak reached by the Skyline Gondola. Breathtaking views of Coronet Peak, The Remarkables mountain range and across Lake Wakatipu to Cecil and Walter Peaks. It's truly magnificent and awe-inspiring! The drive to Glenorchy, 50 minutes north up Lake Wakatipu, is rated as one of the top scenic drives in the world. The ...
New Zealand's most inland region is a landscape of vast, open terrain and alpine scenery. The ambience of the area is defined by many things: the exciting change in seasons; the tranquillity that comes with having only 11,000 inhabitants; a rich, gold mining heritage; and contemporary, award-winning wines. To unwind and relax in Central Otago is not hard. You could cycle a section of the Otago Central Rail Trail; tour a vineyard; play a round of golf; or visit an historic, gold mining town and learn about Otago's equally-prosperous past.

I've officially headed south in my travels of New Zealand! I spent 2 days exploring Dunedin. It's a bit of a college town but that doesn't mean that there isn't anything for travellers to see and do. I managed to learn a lot about the history of the Dunedin at the Toitū Otago Settlers Museum. I spent some time wandering the railway station. I tested the local brew at Speight's Brewery. I hiked to the top of Balwin Street which is know as the steepest street in the world. I strolled through (a lacklustre thanks to winter) botanic garden. Finally, I got my sugar fix at the Cadbury World factory tour. Not bad for only 2 days of exploring. Much love and happy travels xo Meggie Kay - - - - - Find more adventures on my blog: http://nomadicmeg.com Like me on Facebook: http://facebook.c...

Plan, pack and prepare for life in New Zealand. A guide for International Students arriving to study at Otago Polytechnic.
Nuestro día va a llegar, tendremos nuestra vez
no es pedir de más, quiero justicia...
Quiero trabajar en paz no es mucho lo que deseo
yo quiero trabajo honesto, en vez de esclavitud
Debe haber algún lugar donde el más fuerte, no te quiera
esclavizar... si estás sin chance
por qué tanta indiferencia se ha templado a hierro
y fuego? quién cuida las puertas de las fábricas?
el cielo era azul, más ahora es ceniza si
lo que era verde aquí ya no existe más
quién me hiciera acreditar, que ya acontece nada?
de tanto jugar con fuego, que venga el fuego ya...
ese aire dejó mi vista cansada.. y nada más.
y nada más...
