| A complete Pacific village and
lagoon was re-created for participating nations of the
South Pacific for their representation at Expo '88. Cool waters and swaying
palm trees greeted tiresome guests, where they could be
entertained by performances of traditional South Pacific
islands dancing, music and view traditional cultural activities, such as
basket weaving and other craft-work. Amongst other displays, at the Solomon Islands representation one could view the carving of an ancient war canoe - some 9 metres long - by a traditional elder.   |
