Flower
by cgf
People use having tiare flower at their ears and there is a meaning.
A woman with a flower at left side means she is engaged and on right side means she is free.
Equal for men BUT the flower must be facing back.
Men who put the flower like a woman means to be looking for man.
You can see flower anywhere, among the street, at restaurant and ... at public toilette too.
Papeete
by Jim_Eliason
"A pleasant surprise"
I had heard horrible things said about Papeete and was prepared for the worst. I have to say I was pleasantly surprised to find it was not half as bad as purported.
The cons:
it's a city, it's not a Polynesian postcard or a resort
Its very expensive and service is not particularly good
the Pro's;
Easy to get around
Lots of shops and restaurants
Safe

The busy, bustling town of Papeete, on Tahiti's north coast, is the capital of French Polynesia.
The town still has the provincial charm of a French colonial capital - whitewashed houses, buildings of painted wood with large verandahs and corrugated tin roofs, narrow street, parks and an outdoor market.
