Welcome to the site! It's always sweet to have more people from new places! I love hearing new perspectives on life. You've come to the right place to learn about poi/glowsticking. We have pretty awesome resources here....and they're interactive! If you have a question, ask in the forums, we'd love to help you out. As for finding people in your area.....I'd just create a new thread in central asking for people in your area. I know we have some members in Europe and
South88 is in Germany. Enjoy the site and welcome to the family!
