leaving kakai
I was obviously pleased to be invited to VNCW for a leaving lunch although slightly worried about the possibility of having to eat some island kakai. Ive really got to the stage where I have tried it enough to know i find it bland at best and more often than not its disgusting. Eight of us had lunch in the office (not including Priscilla's new baby Sylvie Latifah), it was also the leaving lunch for the CEO who has been at VNCW since 2001. We were both given a present, mine was a lovely woven bag from Futuna and I think I did rather better in the present stakes because Jenny was given a very kitch framed picture 
of Jesus complete with 1970's style dreamy hair. We all gave a 'smol tok tok' before we ate, most of the women started to sob when they spoke (I think that was due more to Jenny leaving than me). Many Ni-Vanuatu I have met seem to hold their emotions very close to the surface and its not unusual for occasions like this to end in tears. I managed to hold it together though and even managed to swallow a fair bit of lap-lap.
