Though the seeds of the theory can be found in the hedonists Aristippus and Epicurus, who viewed happiness as the only good, the tradition of utilitarianism properly began with Bentham, and has included John Stuart Mill, Henry Sidgwick, R. M. Hare and Peter Singer.
The Southern Lights. The southern hemisphere's equivalent of the Northern Lights, Lake Tekapo is one of the best places in New Zealand to see this symphony of colour come to life. Best seen between April and September, Lake Tekapo is known for it's clear nights and lack of light pollution, making it a great viewing destination.
Our final stop in Hokkaido was Lake Toya. Lake Toya is situated within the Shikotsu-Toya National Park and can be reached via train on the JR Line. Lake Toya is a caldera lake and there are 4 islands called Nakajima in the middle of the lake which can be reached by boat. An active Volcano, Mount Usu is nearby. We decided to base our 2 night stay at the Toyako Onsen area, although there are activities and sights all around the lake.
