    Default Has any one tried fire walking?

    Has anyone tried Fire walking??
    I have just got an email off My friends in Tahiti, they want me to go and try it.
    I am planning a trip back to the South Pacific again in a few months. So I thought `What a good idea`. walking bare foot through flames. I would think I would need several Hinano Beers down me to have a go. Has any one here ever done it??.

    Hi you both, e aha to orua huru? Maitai?
    Only in Tahiti you can see this "walk on the fire". The public is allowed or invited to participate.Plenty of european visitors did it this year.Why not you, one day?
    So friendly;

    brian when you fire walk don't run cos then your feet dig in deep and it will feel hot but if you walk it will not burn you if people were getting injured it would not be done just sing rule brittania under your breath and look as a young seaman would look ie scared of nothing
