The journey
My first experience of a true local tradition was a wedding
ceremony. A few days earlier, Black Jack (Franzisko by real name),
who is working for a local tourism agency providing us (Tofo Scuba)
with many customers, invited me to join him for a traditional wedding
ceremony in his home village. He also invited Martin, a german fellow
who is close to ending his six months internship with them. He
arranged for us three to meet at the bus station in Tofo at 6 in the
morning of that Friday. When i got there at 10 to 6, Franzisko was
already sitting there waiting for me and Martin with fishes for his
family.
