Bula!
So I leave in exactly 30 days... time is running out, but I’m trying my best to stay in the present and get over the anxiety I feel about having to leave so soon.
Things have been lovely as always. I went into town today for some groceries since I was feeling deprived of fruits and veggies. I stocked up big time! Got 3 papayas, 2 coconuts, a pineapple, half a watermelon (which was brought to Suva from Lambasa – the vendor told me it takes them a whole day to get to Suva in an effort to make their sales!), bok choy, green peppers, ginger, garlic, and the list goes on.
Our res hall held a ‘hall activity’ tonight, which was a cultural potluck/pajama party! I made a pasta with lots of garlic, ginger, herbs & veggies! I know I should’ve tried my hand at some Afghan food, but without the proper spices and such it's unlikely things would have worked out. Thus, pasta-a-la-Canadienne it was :p Everyone else on our floor made some really tasty dishes as well – Ang made chicken wings from a recipe that her momma passed on to her; Johana made homemade salsa with chips; Cinta & Ola made traditional Tongan dishes; Pari made Indian chicken palau; Hernandia made a Solomon dessert out of fresh coconut. The girls from the other two floors all made some tasty meals as well – it was great to try foods from different parts of the world! I’ve really enjoyed getting to know these ladies... they’ve made my time at USP so special, so it was wonderful to spend a night celebrating our cultures and friendships :)
