In the secluded islands you find Hawaiians who carry out ancient traditions of living. A simplistic way of eating, communing and loving one another. Something that is not apparently a part of the general rat races of large urban developments. People rush from place to place and eat fast food, chasing a false reality that does not exist. Tahiti is very nice, probably like Hawaii was 50-80 years ago.
People are very pure and whole, especially with the land and ocean.
Tahitian culture is knit very tightly, hundreds of cousin s brothers and sisters. I see kids on the road that have absolutely nothing, and they are happy. The people make what little money they can and do what they do, have fun, fish and laugh, a simple way of life. What matters most is family and friends. It really makes me thankful for what I have and where I grew up.
