Thanks for sharing your experience, I too was looking up hokey tokey as I hav a long running argument with some Aussie friends. Looks like we’re both wrong. It seems the Poms wrote it originally as either hokey cokey or even cokey cokey. Damn

Your not the boss of me,

i think you should take a look at your own country before saying anything ill-natured about DPRK…..TWAT…..when i visited USA ive never been so horrified.the difference between rich and poor….you are the richest nation in the world……i agree with bush “close the borders” but i just wish they would close them in and out…theres all hope i suppose

Hi Fraser,
What country are you from and did you travel alone and meet up with a group or did you have a group from the beginning? What countries were your fellow travelers from?

Sure, I have a question for you: if you are North Korean, how are you connecting to the Internet? Your IP address is in a block owned by SBC, which is in the USA…

I am North Keorean, I can not belive you mock us like that. Now I understand why when my faher comes home he talkes about an attack on the USA and al of the evil ones. My father is very high in the goverment and says our life is the best in all of the world. You Americans Kill little babbies and rape our women and you call us evil. There are nopeople dieing of hunger here and we are all happy with our ruler and can not wait until one day when we rule the world. If you have any questions I will anwser them.

Is that a mosaic GUN presented so alluringly on a mosaic draped red cloth? What? Freaky foreigners.
I’m with “hokey tokey” too, in NZ. That’s what I was searching for when I found your site.
