Other HAHA’s in Honiara

A shop outside my work near the lime lounge that blasts Westlife all day everyday! (Alot of people know just how happy this would make me, and if they were their we’d probably try and do Karakoe out side it). Forgot how good that Maria Carey, Westlife collaboration was!

The lovely ladies in the market laugh their heads off when you try to buy less then the stack layed out. I think I’m going to do that from now on because unless I’m reading it wrong they really               think its hilarious. And it will mean I am really funny! ;)

Cooking- So every time you move to a new country 'its your chance' to improve yourself as a person and of course that means learning to cook all these new wonderful dishes! .. 

         

            After organizing a my kitchen rules in our house, yes I did it to myself! I learnt one thing and one thing only. NEVER cook crab! We all have those visions of what our masterpiece will look and taste like. I mean I hardly ever cook, so go all out. It will be actually easier because I dont cook that often because I will be concentrting that much more! ... NO! Within 10 minutes of having the things out of the pot, it was a brown crab juice massacre in the kitchen. An hour and a half later, 16 crabs in, less then a handful of crab meat and a smell that could make the ants run away, and I'm not even talking about me! I knew I wasn't going to win, the food tasted more of my sweated off sun cream then actual food. Humidity, crab steam and a newbie to the heat.. It wasn't the step ford wives, apron wearing dream I pictured. But it was  alot of fun, reliving it with a cold bear in hand the next week! I do really like and appreciate when crab is cooked for me now!  

Don’t buy SB, its the dutch gold of the Solomons. I bought 24 cans, before anyone could stop me, not very swap-able/ sharable. Although it is the locals drink (maybe not of choice), its cheaper then Sol Brew and a good 2% stronger. Not a good choice for a secret Irish light weight!

Building here, well if you dont laugh you will cry! No, its not really that bad. But this one did make me laugh! Check out the front page of the building specs! 

















April fools jokes are different here, in a friends office the funniest thing in the world was telling everybody theh driver was dead. Like HILARIOUS, even going so far as ringing on of their co-workers to collect flowers for the family! I’m actually lauging now at how funny that is, only funny that they think its funny or maybe its actually funny?! No No.. not funny but hahahahaah..

Kids here! Well, if ya know me- ya know I like to be the leader of a choreographed dance group where ever I can. And I’v been missing that side of myself since being here. So I found myself creating a simple dance routing that kids can follow while drinking on a beach in Gizo. I wasn’t that intoxicated- the kids were safe! I mean one of them started coping me and then when I had all three doing the sprinkeler.  I thought.. Well, I’m now a world wide renowned choreographer! Once I had all three I couldn’t stop, I mean I actually felt pressure to keep producing dance moves! Song after song, it became more and more serious I’m pretty sure for both of us. I lost alot of fluids that night but I hope to see the sprinkler spread far and wide through out the land very soon! 

Talking Pirish- I mean its always drunken, and man do I feel like a cultural thespian when I do it. But there is just something so funny about speaking Irish and mixing it up with Pidgeon. hahhhhha.. Its really quiet beautiful! And you get the air of cool, playboy gangster about you when you speak Pirish.

Being scared here is kind of funny too- I was a bit freaked out locking the gate outside our house, i-phone torch in mouth trying to get the damn thing to lock.  I saw a shadow move- panicked and in flight mode overdrive, I kicked that gate I was trying to lock and emergency ran away. Like really ran.. and then nearly as the front door I started to emergency laugh! I just ran away from my own shadow! Wish I caught that one on camera! haha 

Some more to come..
