Well it has been a busy time the past few weeks. I have been diving everyday, and teaching lots of classes. There have been a number of students come through that have been keeping me busy. For New Years Eve, we all went to an Island and grilled out celebrating the birthday of our bosses daughter. Then that evening everyone went to the two discos in town and partied until about 6 am. It was fun seeing how much people were celebrating, after midnight groups of families would march down the street with homemade fireworks, and dragging roofing iron around making it a loud festive time. Then the next day everyone slept in for the most part. Somehow a few people saved their fireworks and noise makers until about 10 am and woke everyone up!
As we look back on the past year I think of all we have done. I finished university, thank goodness, and now live in a third world country. I can catch fish without a pole, fillet and cook the fish. I know how to shop without grocery stores, and even know a bit of pidgen (the language here). The US has gone through tremendous strains financially and also managed to elect a president that 50 years ago would not have had a chance in government. At this time from what I see of the news not much is positive, but I hope in this next year we all overcome our hurdles, and focus on improving ourselves and our countries.
Happy New Year,
Luke
