    Mo's Bar Café & Casino
    by kiwi
    This is an interesting Bar, with a small Casino area. Also to one side, family and kids are able to go, separated from the bar and casino.
    Nice cafe and internet area. Simple but central and nice.
    The internet is interesting. You buy a card worth $x and just keep coming back using that card until the money is run out. The machines take the cards, so if you don't use up all your time, just bring your card back another time. Just like using a phonecard.
    Quite a good concept for the traveller while he/she is in town.

    Casual, but shoes required.

    A representative is chosen from the visitors (David) to accept the Maori challenge.

    David is invited on to stage facing the men doing the &ihaka%. Haka% is the traditional Maori war dance which is meant show how strong you are and intimidate the enemy. With bulging eyes and tongues poked out as far as they will go, the Maori demonstrate aggression and contempt.

    Soon after writing my postcards, the time came for the "hangi". A hangi is a Maori feast of all manner of food cooked by the steam from the natural hot springs. In addition to the food, there was an entertaining show of Maori culture. There was all manner of fish and seafood (even eel), and bread. They served this unique meal in form of a buffet. On some things, I went back for thirteenths.

    Leaves are scattered on the floor for the guest representative (David) to pick up to show that we all came in peace.

    The traditonal Maori greeting of rubbing noses together then ensues before we are allowed to eat.

    After supper, the Maoris put on a show for us in traditional costumes. They even called the youngest in the group, Brian Baker, up to participate in the act.

    Unfortunately the weather wasn't at all nice on our one night in Rotorua, so we werent' reallu tempted to go out, but we did go for a drive in the city, which was a great idea, as we discovered that the information centre lights up really nicely at night!
