Went to Pango for kava with Kami (pictured above striking a righteous pose in front of the farea at VKS) and he brought his awesome dog Tutu. He brought me to this great nakamal right before Brekas on the right. New Zealand was playing Argentina in the Rugby World Cup and there was a small crowd to watch. The nakamal has a game room with a billiard table and they were blasting Christmas music. It seemed right though. When the match was off, the nakamal played Lucky Dube, so imagine Lucky Dube and Jingle Bells competing at a nakamal and you can understand how amusing that was.
The nakamal has a big seating area under burao trees behind the main building. Kami and I told dog stories. He treats his dog the way I would treat a dog, which is unusual for people here and I respect him for that. But you have to constantly worry about dogs here because most people would sooner abuse them for no reason, so Kami had Tutu on a leash. I had to carry is kava to him each time.
The kava ran out and we walked to a little red light not far off and had another couple of shells there. Man Paama (Lulep) are renting in a house next door so that was a surprise. Pango is blowing up with rent houses and new developments. One is a primary school that the government sold while school was in session to a developer and the kids were all kicked out. Sorry kids, but white people need condos by the beach.
HAPPY MALAMPA DAY!!
