L'Anse Vata, the usual spot for popular festivals.

Danses kanak


Following the Kanak dances, which are still earching their way out awway to the traditionnal  pilou pilou and variations, here is a complex dance, fake struggle with big sticks.


 The young left hand wallisian person is not twenty years old ! Polynesians appreciate a little roundnesses. The kanaks did not miss the exhibition ans and presented usual warlike dances (pilou pilou), modernized. 		And here the enchanteress Polynesia, always very rich and simple at the same time, unceasingly renewed on a basis of immutable traditional steps. One never wearies oneself any.
 

After these gorgeous ones, here are the childs, bus one dances very early in Polynesia. One dances on the sand.

They are really adorable isn't  she ? and how much serious !

New Caledonian Christmas. Dont  wait after the snow, because it is the beginning of the hotest period. It is hot, very hot, even scorchy if the trade winds vanish. Here, the Father Christmas does not arrive in sledge, nor on a jet ski, but in a rocket. Surprising but true. By the way, the rocket is false.


This Big traditional kanak festival was a bit special and not so usual.

One braids caps for the festival. 		Women dressed in their mission outfit plays a criket tournament. ..after that the men will express themselves ability, and courage dancing a good  "pilou pilou".   ..The final will be a giant  traditional good bougna.

With some odds, if the Big Chief is powerful and has got captives to sacrify, there will be some good parts of human flesh too.

Well, that was the past, don't panic.


Great contest of tongs launching (string shoes).

Unfortunately, I did'nt see any ; I read only an item on the news.

 Tongs are the universal shoes over there, as well in the whole tropical islands..I suppose the contest consists in balancing the leg and positioning the foot so that the more effectiveness can be got to reaching the farthest point in front of oneself. Whatever, it's what we try ourselves. laughter guaranteed.

Why not experiencing it, as we do ourselves in summer, with your childs or some good friends of you.  Insane. Beware, that can go rather far and sometimes, well involuntarily, rather high !



The rodeo. It was dedicating the end of a season. It is now a traditional show and touristic "in the bush", all over the west coast, and even quite close to Nouméa.
Its origin is Australian and linked to extensive breeding,  Gauchos  are called here "stockmen."



Exhibition under a bamboo green house, at the sea side.

At the edge of the beach of the Anse Vata, bamboos of more than twenty meters were drawn up and intersected.

A net stretched on this natural structure takes place and has provided shade and light variations throughout the day. The greenhouse could be seen at various times with the same pleasure.
Built on the allee, one crossed it quite naturally to admire his various gardens.


Exotic environment reinforced by electronic cries of birds and odoriferous dispensers bored in the bamboos which saw pressing against them multiracial nostrils.


Scents of niaouli.

 

At night, strange glows of cut out bamboos.
