Hey my name is Sylvie and I'm from Brisneyland Australia. I'm currently studying psychology at Griffith University but since coming back from India two weeks ago I'm having serious second thoughts... This possibly extends from the life changing experiences that I picked up in the land of the Holy Cow where contrast and craziness reign supreme! Where else but in India is there a woman who hugs 1000s of people 24 hours a day? Or where 330 million gods are worshipped including an elephant headed god and a god of monkeys? Suffice to say, Western thought is looking a little drab...
But back to me, I've just started playing with my pois and unfortunately keep knocking myself out with these gorgeous little things
If anyone is interested I'd love to have a get together for a swing in a park - bbq, beer and pois? Sounds like a knockout combination!
Keep dreaming and dont let the man get you down!!!
