Just a Few One Careful Owners
Offered by Lifuka
 This building is huge, standing on the
main crossroads in Pangai. It was once a copra
factory.
Lifuka is not a wealthy island and
people live extremely basic and simple lives. It is hard to judge between
derelict, cyclone damaged and normal housing. When you look into a house you see
no furniture other than a bed, or makeshift bed. The open plan, single room
looks like an impromptu matting company, some have groups of women at work,
sitting in a circle, some have men. One house had nothing except a few old car
seats, on our way back we saw children sitting in them, no toys, no nothing. The
kitchen, as such, was a few make-do shelves holding a primus stove and a pan or
two set in one corner. It could be viewed as somewhat sad, but the school
children look immaculate in their uniforms, most people are well dressed and
everyone is surprisingly happy.
 An average
house.
 Lower end of the
market.
 Mid range.
 The museum
has a sad story. It closed and all the exhibits were taken in by a lady for safe
keeping until it could get on its feet again. Sadly the lady had a house fire
and everything was destroyed.
 All that is left is the cooking pot. Bear of course suggested it was used to
cook missionaries, but was in fact for cooking whale blubber.
 
  Some classic
beauties.
 Complete with
dog....
 Nice
colour.
 Quite a neat house with
nice planting.
  The front garden had two lovely ladies.
