Jenna went to Moorea. I hung out here again 😀
So happy. This is my jam. My speed and my way of enjoying a view and bungalow that is not an every day occurrence for me.
The nōio make me happy because they remind me of Hawai’i.
They are also used in navigation and a sign of land on the distance. They are also a sign of good luck.
I saw some familiar faces today and met some new ones, Claire sold some crafts and I purchased a pareau from her. She was a treat. She loves Hawai’i so I gave her a treat and she gave me a discount. She asked if I was Chinese and another of the hotel staff asked if I was Polynesian. I just said I was from Hawai’i because they were both correct and explaining my mix can be confusing in another language.
She was fun,she talked about legends, she loved me using the Hawaiian equivalent to the Tahitian. She kept hitting me and it makes me smile and chuckle because it wasn’t sore but meant to be familiar. She told me to kiss her on the cheeks and I shared breathe with her. It made my day fuller having met her.
I tried the Tahitian Brunch Buffet, the food was yummy and they had an assortment of local foods. They also had a show. It was neat to see how the dancing styles differ from island to island to island. The speed, footwork, and male and female dance styles all have something unique to each area. I am not sure why, but it is fun to compare and wonder.
Flying out on Air New Zealand, this seems to be a common flight with an awful time that the staff knows by heart. 3 a.m. leaving one day and arriving a whole day later but two hours earlier. I think. I suck at time zones.
