    Men wearing red hats mean they’re married. Those with coloured hats are considered to be important or old people. At the party they drink beer and PURE sugar cane alcohol. Of course they end up completely drunk and I was told it's pretty common to see them sleeping all over the fields, straight under the sunlight. And it was only the 2nd day of celebration! by: danielotta Views[1521] According to their ancient laws and traditions, the couple getting married are not allowed to stand up or dance, but guests can! The husband and wife must remain sitting while everyone celebrates. This is so strict that they even have to be fed by their relatives. by: danielotta Views[686] Weddings in this island last 8 days and the couple must remain sitting like that. They don't use invitations, all the people in the island (about 2.200) must go to the wedding party. Every guest has to attach money to their clothes and they will be provided with food and drinks. 35 sheeps had been killed for this unique wedding. by: danielotta Views[671] It was beautiful sunny Sunday Morning behind my neighbourhood where there are still farm fields. The ray of light are caught by the trees and made this beautiful scene. Locals like to let their chicken pet running freely through the fields. They're not worry about loosing them because eventually the chickens would get very far. by: lieshabear Views[1380] Mrs. Nik and her son, Rofiq, waits in the shades while Mr. Nik works on burning the remaining cane plants after the harvest. by: lieshabear Views[802]
     
    This is Mr. Nik. He lives a few blocks away, but his family owns a cane field behind my neighbourhood. The cane are harvest once in a year. After it's being harvested, the remaining plants have to be burnt before the farmers could plant the new plants. Mr. Nik works as a factory labor on week days and takes care of his field on Sundays. by: lieshabear Views[905] The effects of a growing city is the growth of the housing which can expand to the far side of the city. Most affordable housing are small houses, built from what used to be a farming field. Some field still existing between those houses, like this chili field that is being harvest by Lastri. She is one of the locals that lives behind my neighbourhood and still owns her family field. Her sons have all grown up and chose to move to a bigger city rather than to be a farmer like their parents. by: lieshabear Views[882] A very attractive mini tricycle rickshaw at Kyai Langgeng Park, Magelang by: panakuan Views[633] A warning sign at Telaga Warna - Dieng, just an hour away from Borobudur Temple by: panakuan Views[344] Traditional food sold by vendors on the outskirts of town Magelang by: panakuan Views[367]

Whilst most individuals of all ages tend to participate, you can occasionally catch the odd non-participating onlooker. There is a saying in India said during Holi that I feel is fitting here, Future of the Pacific: A young girl plays with a wind spinner made for her by one of the pacific voyagers standing in the background. She represents the future of the pacific, the future that Te Mana o Te Moana sailed across the pacific for, raising awareness and inspiring action to protect and care for our oceans. by: rawhitiroa Views[868] A Warriors Gaze: A Solomon Island Warrior leads his tribe onto the Honiara sports field as part of the welcoming ceremony. It was a spectacular show of colour and culture as delegates from all the pacific nations came dressed in traditional garments and performed traditional dances, songs and chants for the 30,000 strong crowd. by: rawhitiroa Views[2014]
     
    The Dawn Arrival: After more than a week of sailing day and night from Vanuatu the fleet of Te Mana o Te Moana arrives in the Solomon Islands. The fleet of 7 Vaka Moana reef their sails and await the dawn welcoming ceremony with thousands of locals gathered on the beach. Conch shells are blown and haka performed announcing the arrival. by: rawhitiroa Views[1012] Wash Time at Sea: 3 days sail out from the nearest land in any direction, Te Matau-a-Maui crew member Richard Smith leaps off the Bowsprite of the Vaka Moana covered in soap. A blistering hot day in the pacific and a lull in the wind allowed time for a fun filled splash in the sun. by: rawhitiroa Views[845] The Captains Watch: Sailing on a Traditional Polynesian Voyaging Canoe or Vaka Moana, Te Matau-a-Maui Captain Frank Kawe and Watch Captain Patrick Mohi lead the fleet out towards the Solomon Islands, the final leg of an epic 18month voyage to all ends of the pacific ocean.
