I don't think I will ever get used to culture shock. After living close to four years over seas, it still gets the best of me. It is compounded by some very challenging stuff at work that has me reeling right now. There is one thing that everyone should know about me is if one challenges my integrity, they better be right... If you are wrong be careful in the future... The culture here was supposed to be one where respect, honor, integrity are revered... I am not seeing this. Of course I was dropped off here and not given any cultural training like in Vanuatu, but at least I know that the reverence for respect, honor, and integrity are do-able. If I am wronged in Vanuatu, I know that the custom chief system will eventually bring about a sorry ceremony. I am not seeing this here.
OK, enough venting on this blog. Tomorrow will earmark my 2 month anniversary here. I am not sure what I am doing to celebrate it, but I need to have some fun... Time to make some phone calls...

Nam Tasa's Chief
The custom dance Chief Caspar and his clan performed prior to Nam Tasa's departure from Vanuatu. This is where and when Nam Tasa recieved his custom name from the Banks Islands in Vanuatu.
