Went to the Wylep Village fundraiser in Seaside for a few shells, then to Reynolds, and back down to Seaside. Finished with a shell from Kina's house fundraiser.
Kava Kwaliti
The kava at the Wylep fundraiser was watered down. Reynolds was good, but we had kava from two different stalls because there weren't many serving for some reason and the one we started at finished. Kina's kava had turned by the time we got around to it.
Company
Apeslom stopped by the house early to hang out, then Andrew came and we walked over to the Seaside area together. That was the crew last night.
Amusing Observation
Andrew doesn't like Seaside because his ex-wife lives there. He went to pick fruit in New Zealand in 2008-09 and when he came back he found out she had been sleeping around. So he kicked her out. All his Tawis are in the Seaside area, which makes it even less appealing to go there for him as he would have to buy them stuff if they asked. When we got there, one guy asked him for a match, and we was like, "Ehhh, Tawi, mi no gat wan taem." Then after we drank a shell of kava he reached into his pocket and pulled out a book of matches to light a cigarette. I like this guy. He has kava skin (skin of an elephant) but said when he goes to New Zealand again in November it will go back to normal.
Up at Reynolds, Andrew talked trash about those young people that "stikim nek" and warned me to stay away from them...I would say though that most of my friends are not like that at all. It's reciprocal. Jimmy is, but that's because he doesn't work and is "just visiting" Vila, but I know when I go to Paama he will repay me so to speak with a head of kava and all the fish I can eat. Giving and giving back is just part of life here.
Down at the fundraiser again (we left Reynolds because Apes was feeling shitty and needed to walk around some) we met up with Ready Henry's son who works on Tokoro, the police boat. He took my number, wants to hang out sometime.
Walking towards Green Lite, I noticed Kina was having a kava night and so we took a shell there. Fundraising is kind of out of control in the Seaside area. Three in two days?? Gotta spread the money around too or you seem like an asshole. Apu Willie was there and wanted me to come back after putting Apes and Andrew on a bus, so lied and said I would, in that way that the person you are lying too knows you won't be coming back. You can use your face to tell a lie in Bislama and it's totally fine, even better to lie than to say you won't be coming back.
