Tahiti

     Dear: Vacationer
I am glad you have chosen Tahiti as your vacation spot. I think you should have some history on the island.

The island is consisted of two circular, uneven parts. The total population of Tahiti’s island is 130,000 people. The capital city of Papeete has 23,555 people of that population.
