July 2. Minamihara met Hayashi Kanako in the international flight hall of Haneda Airport, and boarded a French flight bound for Tahiti. This is a direct flight from Tokyo to Tahiti. It took about 12 hours to reach Hambiend, the capital of Tahiti.If you start from Hawaii, you can arrive in 5 hours. Tahiti, which is about twice the size of Sado Island, is full of people from all over the world who yearn for the wild environment of the tropical rainforest. When they arrive, Tahiti is as full of modernity as Hawaii in the Polynesian archipelago. civilization.The capital, Hanbiend, is full of high-rise buildings, and luxury yachts are moored in the port. There are no naked girls described in the posters.The roads are also full of Japanese-made motorcycles, and urban noise fills every corner of the city.

But Nanyuan is not particularly disappointing, and the completely westernized Hanbiende has a different scene against the blue sea. Nanyuan took pictures in every small island from the northeast to the southwest of Tahiti. There is no direct road from the airport to any of the islands, only yachts can be rented.If not, you have to take a boat rowed by the locals and dug out of coconut trees to collect coral or pearls. This kind of boat is called "Skuna" in the local dialect. Nanyuan likes this kind of boat with local characteristics very much. Here, apart from the islands, there is sea water, and there are no products or industries.The only specialty is the coconut tree.Coconuts can be made into copra and are the raw material for margarine and soap.

"Skuna" boats cruise back and forth between the archipelago, so it is convenient for tourists, and it is the only "industry" where locals can get cash. After Nanyuan paid the money, he boarded the "Skuna" boat and sailed to a farther island.Due to the small size of the boat, it fluctuated violently with the waves on the sea, but Lin Konako was quite calm. Namwon also took a few photos of her in the hotel. Her brunette skin and slender waist make for a perfect model figure in a swimsuit. "So beautiful!" Nanyuan praised sincerely. Lin Konako replied teasingly:

"That's not as good as Ms. Eguchi Zhuzi!" Nanyuan looked at Lin Kanako in the viewfinder and said: "How did you know?" Lin Konako laughed again, then turned over and jumped into the sea. After swimming five or six meters forward, she suddenly showed her head and said: "I know everything about sir. Your date of birth, height, lover, etc." "Isn't that fair? I don't know anything about you!" "It's fine if you don't know." "why?" "Why? We just had a working relationship, and we broke up afterwards."

Lin Konako said while brushing her hair with her hands. As July 14 approaches, the islands of the French territory centered on Tahiti began to prepare for the sacrifice.This is a traditional sacrifice in Paris. Although it is called "Paris Festival" here, it looks no different from Japanese festivals in Nanyuan. Because these festivals are the same as in Japan. Stages are set up on the streets, house numbers are tied up, and then people sing and dance on the streets, exactly the same as what they saw in Japan. The end date of the ceremony is July 20. Nanyuan took a 4-hour flight from Tahiti to East Samar Island. This island is famous because a French writer Maugham wrote a famous short story.In the past, wherever Nanyuan went, Lin Kenaizi followed him inseparably, but this time Nanyuan went alone because of the bad weather.

The islands in this area have a lot of rain.It was also raining when Namwon arrived, so I couldn't take pictures.Staying in a small restaurant and listening to the rain outside the window somehow makes people almost lose their minds like the protagonist in Maugham's novel.Maybe it's different from the city, there is nothing to do here when it rains.In the midst of boredom, Nan Yuan had no choice but to walk around the small island with his camera. He stayed here for two days and returned to Tahiti on the 23rd.He thought he had captured everything he wanted, so he went back to the hotel.Unexpectedly, Naiko Lin was not there.

He was a little surprised, so he hurriedly called the main station.The waiter at the front desk spoke French English. "Are you asking Miss Hayashi Kanako? She left on July 20. Where did she go? She said she went back to Japan."
