Auckland
Tuvalu dancers and singers. First stop in New Zealand: Auckland. Biggest city with a population of 1.6 million. I wasn't too fond of the place, too hipster for me, but I was lucky to be there during the Pasifika festival. Held once a year, it gathers all the pacific island countries for a big cultural exchange. I could experience traditional dance, food and crafts. Meat and vegetables slow cooked in a buried hole. Hawaiian dancers.
