Hi eaglekiwi i like your profile picture. can you gave me some details about it like from which movie, any link to this picture
Hi Ambition ,yes PearlD is partially correct,it is the traditional greeting of the New Zealand Maori.( I am part Maori)
I tracked down a website for you http://images.google.com/imgres?imgurl= … N%26um%3D1
Thankyou for your question and compliment
It is a Maori 'Hongi' or greeting. From the NZ movie "Kiaora Bro.. Did you Bring a Beer?"
If that was yer intention , dont think youd need a greeting to do it
Shows you approach in peace
Wait til ya see the other tradition
Yeah, I thought it looked like The Rock in The Scorpion King. Whoops!
lol close, I believe the Rock was born in Polynesia (Samoa?)
does look like him a bit.
Well, I think on his mother's side, he is, but he was born in Cali, USA. He's "racially ambiguous", I guess.
Maori War Dance
Also performed by high schools and National sporting Teams, right after the National anthem.
Yeah. I did too when I was younger. I didn't like him that much- he ripped off Steve Austin too much.
That Maori dance- that's the Haka, isn't it? I've seen the All Blacks use it so many times, even though I'm not really into rugby.
I hope South Africa loses. Well, sometimes I feel that way.
I'm not very patriotic, it must be said. I like the place, but not the people.
Lol @ goodfriend
,no the picture was taken at Marae ( Maori meeting house) I think one of the tourist re-inactment demo of traditions etc.
But if you ever travel downunder to New Zealand ,and visit a marae, you will be greeted exactly like that , gentle press of the nose if not well ya can always read my NZ hubs

I was wondering whether we can find some qualities or attributes or nature of fellow hubbers just by viewing their profile pics. I feel I can guess from their profile pics about certain things like he/she might be an ever smiling fellow or he/she is a serious person or he/she appears to be...

Are you likely to "follow" someone who doesn't have a profile picture posted?

I wish to save somebodies profile pic as a jpg, preferably larger than the one shown, in order to do a suprise tribute hub to them. Dont worry, they would appreciate it, and it wont be too sickly.I know that there is a way because somebody was on here upset that somebody had used their profile pic...

Ironically, the hub it happened on is about Haunted Hollywood. Perhaps the hub itself is haunted? Whatever, it was quite a shock to find I've turned into an older gentleman, albeit a rather nice looking one, that I don't recognize. Oddly, this is the only hub where I don't...
