Following his stop in Sydney, David Beckham gives a traditional greeting (called a ‘hongi’) to a local Maori dancer as he arrives Thursday in Wellington, New Zealand, to participate in a soccer match with his team, the L.A. Galaxy.

Becks will be wrapping up his long trip this weekend & heading back to the states to see his favorite Spice Girl singing on stage. The first show is on Sunday night, but apparently Posh is too nervous to have her man in the audience on opening night, so David is planning on bringing the boys to the show in San Jose a few days later. When asked if he was taking a break after soccer season, Becks said, “Far from it. I’m off on tour with the Spice Girls.” Swoon.

I’ve never wanted to be a big, face-tattooed Maori man more in my life than after seeing this picture.  Anyone else?
