Kia ora Aedan,
ReplyDeleteI was just watching a video yesterday of people playing Poi Rakau! It looks like it would be a fun and funny game to play with lots of people. I like that you have added a link to a Poi Rakau webpage so that people who are interested in playing Poi Rakau are able to click on the webpage in order to find out more information.
Have you played Poi Rakau before? Who did you play this game with? I think I'm going to have to introduce it to my friends for us to play next time they come over to my house. Thanks for sharing!
Keep up the great blogging!
