A glimpse into village life and traditions
Lawai Pottery Village的点评
点评：We went her at the recommendation of a driver we had hired to take us to the Tavuni Hill Fort. (The two activities make for an excellent half day trip. We paid $80 for the cab including pick up and drop off at our Airbnb in Korotoga. The driver alone made the experience with his reminiscences of growing up on Sigatoka, and his telling of local history and lore)
Sonny was our main host at the village and explained what was going on and how to participate. The singing and dancing were heartfelt and genuine - these are regular people from the village not professional performers. The yaqona (kava) ceremony was low key and fun to participate in, and then the group dancing was a bit awkward but also fun.
I had read about the pottery process at the Sigatoka Sand Dunes visitor center, and really wanted to see it demonstrated. This was the highlight for me - foot wedging the clay, and the simple tools and techniques used with great skill to make a vase.
We knew about the contribution in advance, and really it just felt like a monetary SevuSevu instead of bringing yaqona to give.
We browsed all the tables and chose one item to bring home. We made sure to make a financial gift even though we are traveling light and are not willing to haul a bunch of purchases.
Ten or twelve people from the village spent more than an hour with us - well worth sharing some of our (relative) financial wealth.
I loved chatting with the villagers and drinking more yaqona with them while others were still shopping.
I read the negative reviews here, and really think the authors have learned little about the culture before traveling here and are here for beach and sun, not for an actual cultural experience.

翻译：我们是在我们雇用的司机的推荐下去找她的，司机带我们去了塔武尼山堡垒。 （这两项活动构成了一次很棒的半日游。我们支付了 80 美元的出租车费用，包括在我们在 Korotoga 的 Airbnb 的接送服务。司机独自带着他在 Sigatoka 长大的回忆以及他对当地人的讲述历史和传说）
桑尼是我们在村里的主要主人，他解释了发生了什么以及如何参与。歌舞是发自内心的真诚——这些都是村里的普通人，不是专业演员。 yaqona（卡瓦）仪式低调而有趣，然后群舞有点尴尬但也很有趣。
我在 Sigatoka 沙丘游客中心读过关于陶器工艺的资料，真的很想看看它的演示。这对我来说是亮点——用脚踩住粘土，用简单的工具和高超的技巧制作花瓶。
我们提前知道捐款，真的感觉就像是货币 SevuSevu，而不是让 yaqona 来捐赠。
我们浏览了所有表格并选择了一项带回家。即使我们轻装上阵，也不愿意拖着一堆东西，但我们还是确保送了一份经济礼物。
来自村里的十或十二个人与我们一起度过了一个多小时 - 非常值得分享我们的一些（相对）经济财富。
我喜欢和村民聊天，在其他人还在购物的时候和他们一起喝更多的 yaqona。
我在这里阅读了负面评论，并且真的认为作者在这里旅行之前对文化知之甚少并且来这里是为了海滩和阳光，而不是为了真正的文化体验。
