大溪地除了海滩外，也有适合健行的大自然。环岛之旅的行程内必要包括到泻湖去尝试一小时的立桨冲浪。
1. What’s the first thing you’d do? 回到大溪地（Tahiti），你会做的第一件事是什么？
Eat some fresh “poisson cru”, a traditional dish with raw tuna fish, fresh coconut milk, Tahitian lime, onions, cucumber and tomato.
吃新鲜的 “poissn cru”，一种用生吞拿鱼、新鲜椰浆、大溪地莱姆、葱、黄瓜和番茄做成的传统美食。
2. Which hotel would you recommend? 你会推荐哪家酒店
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 是不二之选。酒店坐拥莫雷阿島无敌景色，至今依旧是 “欢乐时光” 时段欣赏日落的最佳地点。
3. Where would you meet your friends for a drink? 若和朋友见面喝酒，你们会去哪？
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.
我们会到朋友建于山上的家，在那看泻湖最美了！要不然，我会推荐你到 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.
推荐面海的 The Pink Coconut，但如果你简单、提供美味食物的餐厅，那我推荐 Chez Caro。餐厅提供加入了大溪地色彩的亚洲美食。必尝美食包括 “Poisson cru a la chinoise” 和 “Maa tinito”（大溪地语 “中国菜” 的意思），这些美食勾起童年的回忆。
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。这是一家高级法国餐厅，餐厅有一面海的花园，用餐时可听见海浪拍打海岸的声音。餐厅使用当地食材烹调现代法国美食，一定要预约。
6. Where would you send first-time visitors? 如有朋友到访，你会带他们去哪玩？
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.
我一定会驾车带他们以顺时针的方法环岛。环岛只需两小时，但足以了解大溪地的概貌。大溪地除了海滩外，也有适合健行的大自然。环岛之旅的行程内必要包括到泻湖去尝试一小时的立桨冲浪。
7. Which is your favorite shopping place? 你最喜欢逛街购物的地方是？
The Papeete market – from fresh fish to coconut oil through black pearls, you can find anything made in French Polynesia.
Papeete 市场，市场应有尽有，从新鲜的渔获、椰子油到黑珍珠，凡事法属波利尼西亚制造的，你都可在这里买到。
8. We heard Tahiti is famous for its black pearl. Where did you get yours? 听说大溪地以黑珍珠闻名，你的黑珍珠手链是在哪买的？
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.
我的朋友曾拥有珍珠养殖场，我的黑珍珠都是向他们买的。你可以在 Papeete 市场买到价格实惠的黑珍珠。品质佳的黑珍珠价格一般从50美金起跳。
9. What should I avoid? 你会避免的事是？
Taxis – rent a car instead.
计程车，租车比较好。
10. Before leaving Tahiti, one must…… 离开大溪地前，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”、和凤梨汁、戴黑珍珠首饰。胆子大的可以来一个法属波利尼西亚刺青。
11. How do you say “thank you” in their language? 当地人如何说 “谢谢”？
“Mauruuru”。
