Loaded Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 I came past the 3 Kings around 6 weeks ago and I believe the same ceremony was taking place. The one I saw had lots of 'mediums' dancing to traditional music with many going into trances. They wore colourful clothes and hats that were sort of wraps. It was quite surreal but very enjoyable.
