your convenience this is one of the competitive sports record for the men 30 seconds ladies two days that's where we cook you have to study the phrase i'll show you the two eyes and mouth for the nose right here there's a legend how the face came about because his election is too long so we're gonna skip it but we have to study and look for the face there it is two eyes now for the nose and when you see the face you will see the line that runs between the eyes which is known as the softest spot and all you have to do is get a heart out and hit right across that line you can use ham as a and dynamites cause we use our foreheads [Laughter] how many of you have tried to crack coconuts before what did you use how many pieces did you get yeah about eight ten pieces not bad as long as it works

so the children and the whole family can come and enjoy it too okay also some people ask me about the tattoo it took seven days to put this on 12 hours a day it's part of the ceremony six years ago i became chief so it's an honor to receive this and wear this on behalf of the people of samoa now during the tattooing friends it's done the old way with bones so it's not something to do from front because there's a lot of men that died from this because of infection or losing blood that's why i put together something for you because i almost didn't make it myself yeah and i wrote this so you can understand the different designs and what they mean what the whole thing stands for and how we put it on and i hope you enjoyed this because i had a great time putting together today is available at the imax theater of any shops in the center take a look at it read it because i don't want you to think that i'm a bad boy with all this tattoos and if you get a copy bring it back i'll be glad to go to crafty for you and i'll be here till seven today okay now how many of you had i want to see that coconut tree climb [Applause] is not easy to do this is the most dangerous presentation in the center you know if you try to climb the tree if you make it to the top if you get tired and cannot hang on to the train there's nothing to help you that's why most of our climates are not here today
