Got out with the boys this morning to hand deliver the water bills (Bil blo wota) to a few hundred residents around Luganville. There are very few road names here and no postal system, so all the bills are delivered in person by the DoWR staff each quarter.
This was good fun to meet my new workmates and have a look around the town. It felt a bit mafioso-esque, rolling around in a big truck, 3 bigs guys and one white falla, serving these people with the bills. But there was always a good laugh and joke between the people and they all seemed pretty happy. Good opportunity for me to get some more of the street talk of Bislama happening too. I made a pack with my man Ezekiel to get it down in 3 months so that we can joke more.
So that was a good first field trip, should be lots more fun to have out on the road, and some work as well too of course.
