Hamish's Rarotongan hoilday

In February my family and I went on holiday to Rarotonga. We were there for 8 days. It was a wonderful place to visit. I really liked the way they presented things and had things laid out. I also liked the swimming and kayaking.
Here are some of the cultural differences I noticed while there:

• In Rarotonga you don’t wear seat belts and you ride around on the back of vehicles. 
•  No spouting on roofs. 
•  Clothes: floral, men have colorful flowery shirts, women sarongs; wear flowers in their hair and flowery shirts. 
•  Footwear: bare feet or jandals. 
•   Music: drums & ukulele 
• Traditional feast: Umu (NZ hangi) 
• Transport: scooters, bus that travel all day.
•  Dance outfits: women grass like skirts, feathery bits on hips, coconut shells as a bra, and flowers in hair.  Men a piece of material that covers front and back of bottom. Grass like skirts on their calf muscles.
