Hello! I'm always interested in different cultures, languages and countries around the world but I'm not able (yet) to travel. Hence the birth of this thread. This is where we can share and discuss experiences, no matter how ordinary that we think/feel or even suspect as unique to our own cultural group. If you have questions about certain cultures, feel free to ask!
I'll start!
I'm indigenous Fijian and my culture & language is unique to roughly less than eight hundred thousand people. Mats woven from dried pandanus leaves and tapa cloth play a huge role in most of our traditional ceremonies. Oh, tattooing had also been a rite of passage for Fijian pre-teen females (a specifically female thing) until the arriving missionaries thought the practice demonic and outlawed it.
Anyone else out there want to share about their culture??
