Things I love about this place.
  • You walk down the street and  you either know everyone or you talk to random people, men and women. Locals will stop and talk to everyone.  It's great! 
  • People that don't know English but will still smile and say hello. 
  • Watching the sunrise (ok so i've only been up early enough to do this once) and watching the sunset (which I watch most days). 
  • People especially teachers going out of their way to make you feel welcome on the island.  
  • Getting random people's numbers that you don't know their names and putting them in your phone as "Nice teacher" or "English teacher" as you are too polite to say you don't know their names. 
  • The 51 corner shops on the island, that are so pokey and small but provide me with my daily sugar needs. 
  • The fact that I can buy a few good handfuls of lollies, some biscuits, and a water bottle all for 12rf, which is equivalent to about 70c. The other day I went to another shop and got charged about 20 for the same kinda things. I felt ripped off (even if it was about $1.20). Won't be going back there in a hurry!!!
  • Picnic islands. 
  • Hermit crabs that walk across the road as you are walking down the street. 

I am on standby for a resort for the last few days of my trip.  I can only get in if there are rooms available, then I can get discount. Fingers crossed. :)
 Just realized that I can only see notifications on facebook. After being told by a few people.  So if you think I have read your individual msg's probably a negative!! I've been using my uni email daily.  Looking up playdough recipes on google trying to find recipes that have ingredients that we have here. Also looking for hungry caterpillar ideas, we are doing this week!  Very different to what I've done for it in Australia though.
