When, where and how did you come into contact with the Hare Krishna Movement?

I was 15 years old then & was strolling wd friends @ d Rizal Park, Philippines when we stumbled upon Krishna devotees called "Flower People" then. These devotees were chanting & singing d maha mantra & they were dancing joyfully & gracefully. We, together wd my friends joined d group & we had our first taste of kirtana & harinama. Since then i attended programs @ d Paco Temple, Manila, Philippines.
