Genuine South Pacific stuff. Carvings, tapa...

These are all genuine South Pacific goods that are mine or my folks. Enjoy :)

I have given the prices I paid for some stuff in Aussie $$. Remember it would be even cheaper for you US people, something like AUS$1.00 = US$0.75

First, my haul from my recent cruise (phone for size reference)

Doll from Vanuatu. Soon to find a home on my dashboard :)

Stone carving from Vanuatu. $10

Carved mask from Fiji. $25

Tapa cloth map, Fiji $10

Carved club and cannibal fork from Fiji. $90 together. The club

The fork. That little ball is carved in and free floating.

Detail of the ball

Detail of the end. 2 turtles

My Valentines Day present ($60) Vanuatu

My folks stuff from New Zealand holiday (I wasnt into tiki then. I got dibs on this though)

My folks stuff from their Fiji trip (more dibs)

Theyre not into tiki, but just like cultural stuff. They also have stuff from China, Africa etc. from their holidays.

frame that map, man!! What are you waiting for? No seriously, frame that puppy. That would look really cool.

Dude - your quick. I barely have time to scratch and you post. I was gonna PM ya to show you the masks, but I obviosuly dont have to...

:)

Framing is definitely on the agenda. All this stuff is gonna go in my bedroom too.

very nice. And yes i'm a fast poster. I like talking to people over the interweb. hehe.

Noooo whay! you must be kidding? :D

Great souvenirs, yours and the folks! Although I envy your vacation more than your finds.

What Sneakytiki said. Must have been a blast.

I forgot to brag about the duty free booze. I bought a 1.7L Jim Beam for $21. We checked the price when we got home and for the same bottle here was $80. Sweet.
