DVD player is OSI!

Yeah, so the CD-RW part of my drive on my laptop is still working, but it won't play DVD's. Crap electronics that I have a love/hate relationship with. Never fear, Dad is on it. Gonna order a new snazzy, everyone has one now, not so new, DVD-RW drive and send it out South Pacific style (3-16 weeks). I should be sitting down to finish up Season 5 of 24, which I watched the first disc of (man, I'm in such anticipation; will Jack Bauer kill all the Russian terrorists, get the girl and save life as we know it. We should send Jack into a certain country in the middle east, come on Dubya, watch some TV, why don't ya).

Okay, in other news, we've got about a a month until our group 71 volunteers (I'm group 73) close out their two years of service and head home. It's gonna be sad to see them leave. It'll bring our numbers down considerably; 5 out of 14. If you see this guy around, buy him a drink, he's become a very good friend and he has done some really awesome things here in the Kingdom and loves spreading the word of peace.




* My Jack Bauer remarks - I'm neither for or against any political situation anywhere on the planet. I'm a Peace Corps volunteer, I have no opinion. It was a joke.

Mufti

So, I've been getting carried away lately, always taking pictures with my new camera. In my defense there is so much cool stuff to take pictures of here in Vava'u. I live in paradise.

Anyway, today's obsession was the kids at my school. Wednesdays are Mufti, which is the day the kids don't have to wear their uniforms to school and instead, wear whatever they want. It's fun to see the styles the kids go for. I don't get to dress down, but I'm not that dressed up to begin with.

Here is a few snaps of the kids and me. One of my good friends, the class 3 teacher is in some of the pics from today too. His name is Pila (which is actually Bill in English). They are all adorable and they love getting their picture taken.











And then some of just the kids.
