Day 45
Polynesian Cultrual Center
February 28, 2019 in the United States ⋅ ⛅ 20 °C
Heute haben wir das "Polynesian Cultural Center" besucht. Hier kann man in verschiedenen Dörfern die Kultur der verschiedenen polynesischen Inseln, wie Hawaii, Fiji, Tahiti, Neuseeland usw., kennenlernen. In den verschiedenen Dörfern wurden uns Shows angeboten, gezeigt wie man traditionelle Gerichte kocht, wie man Hula tanzt und noch viele andere tolle Dinge.
Abends haben wird dort an einem Luau Fest teilgenommen. Das ist ein typisches hawaiianisches Fest, kombiniert aus einem großes Festessen und einer Vorführung von traditionellen Tänzen und Musik. Es gab ein großes leckeres Buffet, dabei war das besondere ein Kalua Schwein, welches, in Bananenblättern eingewickelt, im Erdofen über 9 Stunden gebacken wird.
Danach waren wir dort noch in einer Musical-Show, in der es um die Zusammenführung der verschiedenen Traditionen ging. Richtig schön.Read more
