In other news, I and other local Solomon Islanders, celebrated Solomon Islands' 33rd Independence Day today - although the official Independence day is the 7th July.
In case you aren't sure how to celebrate, don't worry, sit back and enjoy the video below. It features dancers from the Isabel province - and a comedian in the front :)
NB: ignore the 'zulu dancers' thing - very sure they aren't zulu

Tomorrow will be incredibly exciting and exhausting, so I'd better finish my Guiness and hop off to bed.
Hasta luego!

Tomorrow is my last day at work ='(   I'm not sure why I'm sad really, I'll be back in February - only 7 months. I'm more concerned about how Coco Pop and Shmeidi will cope without me.

I had my final ESL lesson yesterday. I spent the last two lessons trying to explain to my class that I won't be back next term...I think only half of the students understood what I was saying. I'm sure they'll figure it out.

Still haven't arranged travel insurance - will do that straight after work tomorrow. Kevin - my amazing travel agent - won me over with his Polar bear story...which goes a little something like this...back when Kevin was a newbie to the travel industry, one of his young female clients booked and paid for a holiday but refused to get travel insurance. A decision that would come back to bite her in the rear - literally. Long story short - while trying to make friends with the cuddly white beast, it bit her - where? Right on the butt! boo-yaH! ~Polar Bear FTW~
Moral of the story - get travel insurance before offering yourself as a human sacrifice to zoo animals - just in case you survive.

same story maybe? http://abcnews.go.com/GMA/AmazingAnimals/story?id=7320751&page=1

Anyway, back to doing Spanish homework. I don't want my tutor mauling me for not doing my homework again...*sigh* Colombians are vicious.
