Polifest, godišnja manifestacija stanovnika Polinezije .  Tonga, Samoa , Niue, Cook Ostrva, Maori i mnogi drugi

Doživljaj svoje vrste.

Već sam pisala da na Novom Zelandu, koji broji relativno malo stanovnika (oko 4,5 miliona) prema prostranstvu na kome se nalazi, živi preko 78 raznih nacija. U miru i slozi, poštujući običaje i veru svojih sunarodnika.

To se ponovo moglo i ove godine doživeti na Polifestu, gde se okupilo na hiljade stanovnika  , Aucklanda i okolnih mesta pa i od podalje, da proslave zajedno uz pesmu,  ples, običaje i naravno

egzotične zalogaje. Festival je trajao danima i priliv posetilaca nije prestajao. Iako je prostor ogroman , bile su velike gužve ali vladao je neki urodjen red i svi su bili u odličnom raspoloženju.

Samo da još organizuju dovoljno parking prostora,  da se mi koji najzad nadjemo parking posle pola sata potrage , pa zaboravimo gde smo ono parkirali, ne brinemo.

Sve u svemu Polyfest je i za nas bio predivan doživljaj!

*******************************************************************

Polyfest was this year enormous success. Again. Traditionally for many years it is organized as Festival to celebrate Polynesian population in New Zealand, Samoan, Tongans, Niueans, Cook Islanders. Maori and many others.

I wrote before that in New Zealand with its big land mass there is only 4.5 million people. From 78 countries. We are proud to live all together in peace, respecting each others culture, beliefs and values. 

This Festival showed just that. Although there were thousands of visitors everyone enjoyed or joined in in beautiful dances, singing and exotic foods

We for sure had fun. Only wish I have  is,  that they organize more parking space, so I do not have to worry once I after driving half an hour around find a parking, remembering where the heck did I leave my car.

We enjoyed the Festival with full hearts
