the other day, while i was typing feverously on a workshop edit, sam (one of my co-workers) walked into the office (our desks are in the same room), and he looooked at me and smiled and he said, "genifar (that's how mah name sounds when he pronounces it), yu luki wei luki yu kam lo vanuatu, yumi fun, yumi laf laf, bei yumi fokus. (translate: you are really, really lucky--lucky waaay lucky--you came to vanuatu. we're fun, we laugh a lot, but we focus)" and then he just laughed to himself, made a little whopping sound ("ahhhh waaay" is what it sounds like), smiled at me again, and got back to work.
such a happy, funny little man in such a happy, funny little country.
i am luki wei luki.
