Although Vanuatu is considered a very diverse country (made up of French, Vietnamese, Chinese, and other Pacific Islanders), the indigenous ethnic group are the Melanesians.
The three official languages spoken are English, French, and Baslama (a form of pidgin English). There are an additional 100+ local languages spoken throughout the islands!
The Melanesians are a very friendly group. At first glance, they could flash an intimidating look......but once you make them crack a smile, their whole face lights up!
This pic was just a lazy, hazy afternoon waiting at the airport gate.

This country is my favourite in the South Pacific, and may just be my next VT page to build. We also got a stringband welcome at customs by grass-skirted men - an excellent intro, as you said! :-) | ChrisRJ Thu Apr 7, 2005 14:59 UTC
Hyperlinks will be my next lesson, Oh Wise Oracle! Also I think I will follow your lead of frequent subtle changes to the Homepage. My roommate is from New Zealand and so a trip down there in November is a "Go"! | prazlin Sun Sep 12, 2004 12:57 UTC
wow, you visited a lot of places who were on the top of my 'wishlist' ;-). Thanks for all the detailed descriptions...especially about Vanuatu | JLBG Fri Sep 10, 2004 06:20 UTC
