Going to the pearl store in Tahiti.




" When are we going to the market Jaky?" I asked her. "Soon" she replied. It was another hot day in Tahiti and was the last day to do shopping so my aunties and I decided to go to market. We all got ready and then went down stairs to leave. My Nana was going in the car with my cousin Riyah. I asked if I could go with her instead and my Nana said yes. She told me that we were going to the pearl shop. We drove around intersections and drove past a lot of shops, then finally arrived at a small, but noticeable shop with a big pearl on the door. Walking in the shop felt cold. The sales lady told us to come and take a seat on the stools and search for the pearls that we wanted for the necklace. We dug into the box and found a couple of nice ones. I had $20. The pearl cost $8.00 so I payed for my own pearl. Nana bought the chain and the pendant and then took it to the lady. she drilled the pedant into the pearl and connected it the chain. I sat down and waited then finally it was done. It was time to go and we payed for the necklaces. My Nana said that we are only allowed to wear it on the day that we leave because we might lose it. I patiently waited until the day to come but until then we couldn't do anything about it.
