I try to find what traditional architecture of Kiribati look like, Fiji have Bure, Samoa, Tonga,French Polynesia/Tahiti with 'Fale', Hawaiian with Hale, Maori with Marae, Palau, Mirconesia, Guam and Marshall Island have 'Bai House or men house', what Kiribati architecture look like. all Polynesia and Mirconesia have stonework paving and foundation. same in Malaysia-Indonesia archiepelago. Marae temple and Pre-hindu Malay-Indonesia archipelago temple share similar architecture feature. i love to learn about Kiribati architecture, traditional house.

I surely do plan to visit underrated countries in Africa. The cultures to learn are seemingly endless! Are you from Africa? Thank you for the kind words. I really appreciate it!

[@missahriwatts7742]

Hi there sir.. No, I am from the Philippines,, a political science student. and I’m always watching your contents. It’s just, I’m thinking that countries like Gabon, Lesotho, Equatorial Guinea, etc .. about time to be recognized.

[@aperezvoyages]

Those are all countries I want to visit in Africa actually. Very curious! Philippines too. Lots of Filipinos here in Hawai’i so it’s got me curious now 🇵🇭

[@missahriwatts7742]
