Story of the ghost

Nakamals Visited
Chiefs', SHEFA, and 24 Haoa, in that order.  Here's a random photo from Chiefs', which turns into a tailgate party between 4 and 6 at night:

Kava Kwaliti
Chiefs first bucket, as usual, was great stuff.  SHEFA for some reason was serving up cold and sweet kava, which someone told me is a sign that they made dry kava for sale.  That shit should be outlawed.  24 Haoa was standard, good stuff.  Shifted between the two stalls because Apu Willie doesn't like right-side kava toward the end of the bucket.

Company
Grabbed a shell at Chiefs with Joel, Aminio, Noe, and Francis after work.  Met up with Amy, Ian, and Relvie at SHEFA for a shell before Amy and her group headed out to their COS conference somewhere in North Efate I think.  Then I closed out my night at 24 Haoa with Apu Willie and the Luli crew which is turning into a ritual.

Amusing Observations
Just before my first shell at Chiefs, the museum guide drew a sand drawing of a ghost, but not just any old ghost.  The story goes, that if a young couple "friend" in the same place multiple times, this is disrespectful to the ghost that lives there.  After thoroughly pissing the ghost off with their raucous love making, the ghost with take the face of the woman and slowly make the man lose his mind.  Foaming of the mouth is said to occur.  Luckily, there is a leaf that can cure the crazy, but the young couple need to find another bush to frolic in or the ghost can come back and kill the man (for some reason, the ghost doesn't do anything to the woman...).  Joel said he witnessed this when he was a student at Malapoa.  I won't name names, but, well, it was Vanessa Quai's father.  Should that be a mi harem se?

At SHEFA, Relvie recounted her trip to the USA.  She just came back last week and had a good time visiting the states for the second time.  What struck her the most was the amount of makeup she saw young women wearing in DC.  Her theory is, makeup ages women.  And it looked strange to her to have all that makeup on just to walk around Georgetown in the middle of the day.  I would agree.

Apu Willie and another man from Luli drank kava with me at 24 Haoa.  There's this song that the other man sang in language that I need to learn.  It was about an old man who would had his eyes on this old lady widow and would give her fish he would catch every day.  One day, he noticed that everyone in the village had gone to the garden, but the old woman was peeling water taro at home.  He went fishing, and brought back a fish for her, for which she thanked him.  Then, he just looked down at her "taboo" place and said, "look, I've been feeding you for a while now, you need to let me do you".  Eventually, the woman lets him hit it from behind, and holds her hands up in the air because when water taro touches the skin it can sting a little.  The story goes with a sand drawing of a man and woman doing it with the woman's hands in the air.  There's a song that goes with it too, asking the woman to give up her taboo place, and that I need to learn.
