Straight out of a Textbook...Cultural Anthropology 101

Bula everyone - We are alive! We are now back in Nadi, at Azeem's house. However, we stayed the night at a nice hotel down the road in order to clean up and get a good night's sleep. Here's how it went down: We arrived at Vusama Village, roughly 45 minutes south of Nadi, two weeks ago....

Excited and Scared at the same time...

Today is the last day of civilization... we think! Both Claire and I are a little nervous about what tomorrow will be like! We start the excavations on the Lapita culture in Bourewa. We are staying in a small village that doesn't have a phone or internet. For the last week we have been living...

"Most Devastating Storm Ever"

Today was the first day we could get into the city of Nadi. Over the last week the area had been underwater from unrelenting rain. All day,every day the rain was steady and hard. As Canadians we couldn't believe just how much rain could actually fall from the sky. Driving around town was...

A Qualified Something For The First Time Ever

Despite not pumping my body full of goon and snake bite the previous night I was still sick as a dog. Apparently this time it was because I had sausage for breakfast. I wouldn't mind but they weren't even good sausages. The sausages I deposited into the Bligh Waters were the worst bangers I've...
