Kia ora ra whanau Last night my whanau hosted Koro Bombom. Apparently he wanted to go on the Marine and Coastal Bill (fssb) hikoi! Ka mau te wehi o tenei koroua, kei te koi tonu te hinengaro, kei te pakari tonu te tinana! I was such a pleasure having him, even for a short while. Those photo's of him are spot on... kei te pera tonu ra te ahaua o te koroua! Nga mihi ki to whanau e Koro. Naku iti nei Cellia
