Fish
Market
I spent the best part of a day watching the fish market bargaining for whole lot of half-foot long tuna fish hanging on countless racks. There are also rolls of Tahitians elderly women who sat around netting and moving their hands in well-practised combinations to produce intricate flower tiara, hats, flower necklaces, in which three lovelies showed me various ways of tying a pareo. Not so useful for men though, but interesting to watch and learn. |
