So lets see today... I woke up 6am, ate went to NDMO, forgot my adaptor for the internet. That means I had to bike home... and my tired is draining the air so fast now that every bike trip at the end I have to reinflate the tire. So I brought my tire pump with me so I can inflate it.
Not much going on at that office.
Maybe this week I will go to Vila and get my tooth problem fixed.
5:00pm
One of my friends here was hurt badly by a local, I just found out about it. It affected me.
(27) Tuesday
I hope there is a glimmer of justice being made this morning, his court date was early today.
Hard to think about anything else at the moment.
Just playing around with a flow chart... and some business logic diagrams.
(28) WEDNESDAY
Made it to Vila... there was this great Swiss tourist I spoke with for a bit. Man I wish she was staying for like a few months. She was great.
I have a nice room all to myself, no noise, not sweating my brains out and a HOT SHOWER... woohoo.
Thanks again Mr. Thomas for the ride to the airport.
(29) THURSDAY
I love the food in Vila, I hate the price tag. But Who cares I ate chicken nuggets, chocolate shakes, real pizza... It was heaven. Tomorrow I have to try and visit Hawking favorite place to eat "Spice"... I wish I could remember what his crazy lunch special was called maybe they will remember it.
(30) FRIDAY
Well there is no pressure to get up, no one making me sit in a conference room its just me doing what I want to do. This is perfect. I feel good about this visit. The dentist fixed a filling and now I can take that off my mind so I will seek out a few items in town meet up with Tim over the weekend and then my counterpart will arrive on Tuesday. A short but needed trip to get some stuff done and relax a minute.
Posted a new short story... part one of my Twin Peaks inspired short story... Each section/part is 10 small paragraphs.
Noon
Sitting under and tin roof/awning outside an au bon marche, hiding from a deluge, was me and twenty others Ni-vanuatu's. The mostly soaked locals were walking up to each other giving their forever long handshakes even though they were soaked to the bone. I sat with a VB wrapped in plastic watching the million raindrops form exploding into individual water crowns on the uneven road. There where unless streams of nearly identical Toyota vans that trudged up the hill past the police station, the bank, toward Chew store. After 15 minutes I made a dash for the office during a break in the rain, having finished my business of changing the fight back to Santo to Wednesday at 11 so I could spend a few more days in town. After getting past five stores half way there I had to take a second pitstop as the rain picked back up. I sat and spoke with a local kid, who was in town to buy a new uniform for school. His favorite subject Physics and all Science. I was happy to hear that he enjoyed those subjects. Finally I made it to the office and promptly posted my little memory before I forgot it. I think reading of The Door of Perception by Aldous Huxley made me want to write about nothing and make it sounds like something. He is a master of that.
Took a photo outside the office.
(31) Saturday
Today was mostly a day of sitting at the Peace Corps office and reading the news, playing around with part two of my murder mystery story and trying to just be quiet and calm. So far it's working.
I plan to go eat some pizza again at Chill because I can use my credit card and not spend peace corps vatu because I always run out by the end of the month.
I have a few new albums (Bjork's new one Vulnicura and Charli XCX - Sucker) and some new episodes of Broad city season 2.
Re-reading brave new world and book of five rings about this sword fighter from japan that killed 60 people in close combat. Thats it.
After doing next to nothing for hours I went to Chill to eat a pizza. It is generally laughed at my way of wasting money on expensive food but I don't like and cabbage. So I went for it and the sunset and Air conditioning was so nice. This nice couple came in and sat by me and asked me a bunch of questions. They were tourist from Australia... David and Pam Dear. Well as anyone that knows me, if you ask me a question i.e. put a quarter in you'll get your money's worth. I just told about the experiences I had and what I think of the islands and people and such. It was a fun conversation and then they surprised me buying me my dinner and drink. It was so rad. I felt very thankful that someone is looking out for me.
(01) Sunday
I can't recall everything that transpired but one of the coolest things that happened on this day was I went to Tim work and we watched a ton of weird movies. but before we went we had the best veal T-Bone pork steak I have had. I made the steaks and frieds. They were rad.
