This weekend, I spent diving as usual. On Saturday though I had a problem, most of my staff did not show up for work! I found out that the truck that drives people from the villages did not run. On Sunday one of the carpenters showed up and apologized for not being at work on Saturday. He had a very good excuse and a funny one. He did not come in the day before because he could not find his canoe! Unfortunately some fishermen in his village had borrowed it without asking, because he usually does not work on the weekends. I thought that excuse was just a riot, and had to share it with you all. It is defiantly interesting watching how many people still use a canoe as transportation. On Mondays like today some people travel 2 days by canoe to come to the markets here, and we complain about a 30 min commute in an air conditioned car!
