In America...

i greet random strangers on the street or in shops and i very rarely get a kind response back- in Vanuatu i do the same and literally nine out of ten people minimum enthusiastically greet me straight back. the people here are the nicest out of any place ive been,always ready to lend a hand or even just chat. the land is absolutely gorgeous, lush as anything and relatively untouched to give an idea of the lifestyle- we took a fifteen minute treck through the jungle where there are sporadic gardens to get a head of lettuce and some bananas from a mans garden all for 300 vatu which is 3 dollars funnily enough in this third world country about two months ago Digicel came in offering cell phones dirt cheap (-but charge 45 cents a minute) and everyone bought into the idea so in the poorest of spots you see people pulling out their cell phones the sealife is great- we saw a huge seaturtle about six feet long all sorts of fish and dolphins. and i wake every morning to hundreds of different birds chirping ah time is fllying, hope all is well in the quah and that everyone is haveing a great summer- experience is priceless! <3 miss you asll see you soon!!
