My arms are aching and I have bruises and lumps on thighs and tummy but I’m very happy. Took my poi 花見 (cherry blossom viewing) last night. Wheeeeee……. Blair brought along his too, and there was a busker doing poi, juggling fire and breathing fire as well. I got terribly excited and asked him what he used for fire breathing here and where to get it. Turns out he uses good ol’ kerosene. Not sure I want to go there. Doh.
We spent many happy hours under the cherry blossoms at the castle, spinning fire then doing ‘Quila shots. T’was quite the evening and we plan to do it all again sometime soon.
The poi I have here are round in shape, and heavier than my poi back home, hence severe bruising accompanied by swelling where I managed to hit myself well.
When I grow up, I want to spin poi like Blair!!!
Oh, and in two days I received both the dvd and soundtrack of Once upon a time in Mexico. Shanta and Mike officially ROCK!
