But they don't mean it! It takes a bit of getting used to it, doesn't it? Fijians love laughing at others, especially at Kapelangis. But they don’t mean it!

A couple of people have gotten the wrong idea from this. The two guys weren't being rude, that's the point. Fijians aren't rude people, it's just different to Britain. Hope y'all understand. Hey.

Felt a big surge of worry for you on hearing about the armed children! Takes a while to settle into the culture..or at least make a convincing go at it. I remember in France getting offended at first by the men's attitude to me but then realised that's the way they are and just let it wash over me. Take care hun xxxx That sounds rather like what happens if you have an accident in my parents household, maybe we’re part Fijian….

Two days later I saw an eight year old lob a bread knife at a cat." I'm sure there are parts of Britain like that... Sounds interesting getting used to another culture. You should have turned round to the people laughing at you and started laughing back at them, then rolled on the floor laughing and shouting "OH MY GOD YOU'RE SO UGLY HAHAHAHAH AHHH HAHAHAHA".... Have fun. “One day I saw a six year old walking alone along a dirt road holding a machete. Two days later I saw an eight year old lob a bread knife at a cat.”

Nice to find some people who can laugh at life. Hope you're ok :) I started wondering about you yesterday, was hoping for a new blog soon and you answered me!! :D

Start wearing weird purple clothes. Stop washing. Allow your hair to turn into dreads and start living on a boat. You’ll come back as protester against high prices in Britain now.
