Polynesian Cultural Center

The Polynesian Cultural Center was on the other side of the island from where we stayed.  It was fun to play all the family games and get to a experience a little of each culture.  We learned that there are tongans, samoans, hawaiians, etc.  Polynesians are people living in Polynesia, a sub-region of Oceania, comprising a large grouping of over 1,000 islands scattered per the central and southern Pacific Ocean. We also went to a Luau and got to watch them cook a pig in the ground.  The food was ok, but it was mainly the entertainment that we enjoyed.
