Byron Bay, a hippie village where people smoke more than just normal cigarettes and where mushrooms are used not just in cooking ...
Coming to the hostel Arts Factory was like a Cairns reunion, since there were lots of people doing fire poi here that I met in Cairns 😊
I had heard lots of good stuff about the hostel and it was nice except for the kitchen. The kitchen didn't have any pots so you had to go to the reception everytime you wanted to cook and give a $5 deposit and sometimes you had to queue for over 5 minutes just to get a pot 😞
The weather was quite cold some days and rainy so I had plenty of time to read The Wheel of Time series by Robert Jordan 😊
One night Toru and other people had organised a beach party with a fire show as well and I thought it would be just 10 or 15 people. To my surprise it was about 100 people there listening to the many drums and didgeridoos and watching the 10 people who were showing off their skills with fire- poi, staff, double staff, hulahoop, joggling, breating
and Daisukes homemade JoMega-something. Perhaps the musicians had mixed up the beats because a thunderstorm came after an hour and the rain chased most people away.
Stayed at Arts Factory two weeks and learned some new Poi-tricks, hoolahoop and a little Contact Poi as well. Contact Poi looks like a crystal ball that you graciously move around or balance with your hands, finger tips, elbows and well ... all your body if you are really good 😊

Pot
You're in a hippie village and have to wait five minutes for some pot!? What a disgrace ;)
