Another Tahitian experience that the group experienced was eating at the roulottes on the dock in downtown Papeete. These are food vans and the
food cooked there tells the history of Tahiti. You can eat fantastic Chinese food because the chinese were brought to Tahiti in the 1860s to work on a cotton plantation. When the plantation went
bankrupt, many of the Chinese stayed on Tahiti and they are many of the merchants in Tahiti today. The French colonized Tahiti and you can feast on crepes, poisson cru, and othe french
delicacies. The Tahitians will cook entire pigs, have wonderful meats and the roulotte experience is an amalgam of the culture ofTahiti.
