Today, we made a stop at Nurul Huda mosque in Dunedin. 🕌 (If you follow the news of the tragic New Zealand’s massacre, Dunedin’s Al-Huda Mosque was the original target). So much love from the people of Dunedin. If you are interested to donate, you can do it online. 😊
We also went to the molar teeth sculpture 🦷 by the harbour to “analyze” its morphology. Some facts about the sculpture - “Harbour Mouth Molars are a set of six geologically-scaled wisdom teeth that have erupted from the gummy mud of the Otago Harbour. Dunedin is home to the only Faculty and School of Dentistry in NZ” (Source: regangentry.com)

We concluded our International academic visit by spotting Albatross- “Albatrosses are a group of very large seabirds. Albatross wings are amongst the longest for any living group of birds, with the wandering albatross’s wings reaching 3.5 meters (11.5 feet) — the longest wingspan of any living bird species.” (Source: Forbes.com).
