大溪地除了海灘外，也有適合健行的大自然。環島之旅的行程內必要包括到瀉湖去嘗試一小時的立槳衝浪。
1. What’s the first thing you’d do? 回到大溪地（Tahiti），你會做的第一件事是什麼？
Eat some fresh “poisson cru”, a traditional dish with raw tuna fish, fresh coconut milk, Tahitian lime, onions, cucumber and tomato.
吃新鮮的 “poissn cru”，一種用生吞拿魚、新鮮椰漿、大溪地萊姆、蔥、黃瓜和番茄做成的傳統美食。
2. Which hotel would you recommend? 你會推薦哪家酒店
In Tahiti, I can only recommend the InterContinental. It has an unparalleled view of Moorea and still offers the best sunset spot for happy hour.
在大溪地，InterContinental Tahiti Resort & Spa 是不二之選。酒店坐擁莫雷阿島無敵景色，至今依舊是 “歡樂時光” 時段欣賞日落的最佳地點。
3. Where would you meet your friends for a drink? 若和朋友見面喝酒，你們會去哪？
My friends’ place in the mountain as they have the best view of the lagoon. If not, I would definitely recommend the Tiki Bar at the InterContinental for the sunset.
我們會到朋友建於山上的家，在那看瀉湖最美了！要不然，我會推薦你到 InterContinental 的 Tiki Bar 去看日落。
4. Where’s the best place for lunch? 吃午餐最棒的地方在哪？
The Pink Coconut (waterfront) but if you are looking for a no fuss, simple and good food, I’d recommend “Chez Caro”. They serve Asian dishes with local twist – try the “Poisson cru a la chinoise” and “Maa tinito” (translated Chinese food) – it brings back childhood memories.
推薦面海的 The Pink Coconut，但如果你簡單、提供美味食物的餐廳，那我推薦 Chez Caro。餐廳提供加入了大溪地色彩的亞洲美食。必嘗美食包括 “Poisson cru a la chinoise” 和 “Maa tinito”（大溪地語 “中國菜” 的意思），這些美食勾起童年的回憶。
5. And for dinner? 晚餐呢?
Le Coco’s – a “gastronomique” restaurant with a garden by the sea with the sound of waves crashing on the shore. Modern French food with local ingredients. Reservation is a must.
Le Coco’s。這是一家高級法國餐廳，餐廳有一面海的花園，用餐時可聽見海浪拍打海岸的聲音。餐廳使用當地食材烹調現代法國美食，一定要預約。
6. Where would you send first-time visitors? 如有朋友到訪，你會帶他們去哪玩？
Will definitely tour them around the island (clockwise), it only takes 2 hours’ drive and it gives a good overview of Tahiti, which is not only about beaches but also trekking and nature. This tour will unquestionably include a one-hour paddle boarding session in the lagoon.
我一定會駕車帶他們以順時針的方法環島。環島只需兩小時，但足以了解大溪地的概貌。大溪地除了海灘外，也有適合健行的大自然。環島之旅的行程內必要包括到瀉湖去嘗試一小時的立槳衝浪。
7. Which is your favorite shopping place? 你最喜歡逛街購物的地方是？
The Papeete market – from fresh fish to coconut oil through black pearls, you can find anything made in French Polynesia.
Papeete 市場，市場應有盡有，從新鮮的漁獲、椰子油到黑珍珠，凡事法屬波利尼西亞製造的，你都可在這裡買到。
8. We heard Tahiti is famous for its black pearl. Where did you get yours? 聽說大溪地以黑珍珠聞名，你的黑珍珠手鏈是在哪買的？
I have friends who used to own pearl farms, so I would usually get the precious gem from them. However there are shops which sell black pearls at affordable prices around the market. A good quality one would start from USD50.
我的朋友曾擁有珍珠養殖場，我的黑珍珠都是向他們買的。你可以在 Papeete 市場買到價格實惠的黑珍珠。品質佳的黑珍珠價格一般從50美金起跳。
9. What should I avoid? 你會避免的事是？
Taxis – rent a car instead.
計程車，租車比較好。
10. Before leaving Tahiti, one must…… 離開大溪地前，一定要……
Have tried “poisson cru” and pineapple juice, wear a black pearl. For the more daring, have a Polynesian tattoo.
吃一次 “poisson cru”、和鳳梨汁、戴黑珍珠首飾。膽子大的可以來一個法屬波利尼西亞刺青。
11. How do you say “thank you” in their language? 當地人如何說 “謝謝”？
“Mauruuru”。
