      They train you well lol. And we are full of joy. Things like disrespect, tantrums etc are generally not tolerated. Every elder person is your mum or dad or grandparent so you have to give or accord the same respect to them. It's in our culture to treat strangers with the hospitality and great respect and to see them as personal guests. So far as you are human regardless of your race, skin and colour we are to treat you with love, grace and respect. In general we basically see all humans as brothers and sisters unless there is a conflict. Probably that's why we seem to have so much joy lol. We see everyone and the world as one. This goes for majority of Africa or African tribes though.

      I am from Fiji in the South Pacific and we have African skin and looks. We were told and we sing it in our song that our ancestors came from South Africa. They came in the canoes. We have our traditional marriage and the white wedding too. We have so much tradition and customs and it is still very much in use today. We are proud that even those living overseas, have not forgotten their culture. A girl and her family feel valued and appreciated when the traditional customs are incorporated into the planned wedding.
