Noho Marae 1

In March we experienced our first noho marae, which is a weekend full of maori events.We started off on the friday with a nice welcome in the marae, meeting people from all over the world and had a lucky pot dinner or whatever it is called, where people brought dishes from their country, i must admit there was a lot of sushi and potatosalad, but that's alrite:P
We brought "rømmegrøt" but we soon realised it doesn't look very good and according to the brave souls who tried it, it didn't taste really good cold either. (So next time we will bring salmon wraps)
Throughout the weekend we learned maori songs, the stick game, flax weaving, a poi, and us girls got to make our own poi's which was very special (I have 2)
and also the guys learned the Haka, and they did a very good job, i was impressed:D
But most importantly, we made many new friends and had so much fun:D
We are already looking forward to the next one, which is in two weeks and we get to do it all over again:D And i promise that we will write about it and post new pics:D
