Store opening hours vary
Coming to Tahiti has many different cultures that have shocked me and changed my many travel perspectives, the most important of which is the local "everything is okay" mentality, which brings me a lot of convenience as a simple traveler, and relatively speaking, it also gives me a lot of inconvenience. First of all, it's the opening hours of their stores, and just backing their business hours will go crazy. Tahiti main island is fine, most of them are open from morning to noon, and reopen until late afternoon around 2 pm. It is closed all day on Sundays, and the opening hours will not be extended on Saturdays, but may be early as noon.
The outer islands can take business off without doing business, some on Saturdays and Sundays: some on Mondays; and even more restaurants that are closed at noon today for unknown reasons. I was dizzy by its vacation day, and what was even more tragic was that the restaurant's noon business hours were very fixed, and our sisters often forgot to eat lunch when they played, and always had to wait until they were very hungry and hungry before they rushed to find a restaurant. As a result, sorry! Is there a mistake in having lunch at 2 o'clock? They don't make your money!
The rental car and return time is unlimited
As for car hire, there is no major problem in having a few flats booked in advance. Once, I maliciously only took a Driver's License from Taiwan to rent a car, and it turned out that I could almost rent a car smoothly. Later, the staff asked me how to spell my name in English, and I didn't bother to spell it for him, so I gave him my international driver's license, which had my name translated into English. He just looked like, "That's right! Forgot to review the documents" expression. He was so lazy, I was naturally more alert, lest it be myself who suffered. I continued to ask him, "That's right! You leave work at 5 o'clock, my return time is 6 o'clock, how do I return the car? "It doesn't matter! Never mind! ”
I was anxious about how to return the car, but he looked indifferent and said, "You just have to park the car in the parking lot of the hotel and throw the car keys in this box!" He pointed to a wooden box in front of him. This means that I have left work, after work hours, use self-service return, you from the metropolis city tired of learning to point! All right! Since none of you have anything to do with each other, why should I take you too seriously? So I said that I would return the car at 6 o'clock in the evening, and I dragged it until about 9 o'clock after dinner. The next day I was afraid that he would ask me for more rent, and everything turned out to be fine, it didn't matter!
Do not follow the busy footsteps of the world, so become a pristine pure land
Traveling on the small island where everything is "ok", enjoying its convenience and also for the inconvenience. I can't say whether this is good or bad, we are just a short passer-by, enjoying the extraordinary beauty they face every day during the day, perhaps paying some money to help enhance the local employment personnel while consuming and destroying their precious water and natural environment, making them hate and love us, so that the local three-star service attitude will appear in the six-star hotel. It's their life, their pace, and the world.
There is no need for a profession here to maintain competitiveness, even the terrible unemployment rate is unheard of, life is very simple and simple for them, Gauguin will abandon his wife and children, just to stay here and seek his art: Marlon, since Lando finished filming "Rebel Blood" in Tahiti, bought a small island as his retirement retreat, and married a Tahitian girl; there are many more German drivers on the island, Italian restaurant owners, Japanese female receptionists, hotel guards who have studied in Hawaii for four years and returned, They choose to stay for the sake of the pure truth, the beauty and simplicity of this place, happily. They were willing to change their lives for Tahiti, and Tahiti did not have to make any changes for them, and because of this, perhaps the South Pacific will still retain the title of "the last piece of purity in the world".
