I am currently in Pape’ete, French Polynesia.\u00a0 This message will be short because I am using a very strange keyboard.\u00a0 It is a AZERTY keyboard, not a QWERTY.\u00a0 When I get to New Zealand, I will write more, as it will be cheaper also.<\/span><\/p>\n

To quickly update, over the last 4 days and 3 nights, I have been on Mo’orea, the neighboring island to Tahiti.\u00a0 It is less populated than Tahiti.\u00a0\u00a0I stayed for 3 nights at the same place, Fare Oa Oa.\u00a0 “Fare” means “Residence” in Tahitian.\u00a0 I paid 2500 CFP (about 25 bucks) for the three nights.\u00a0 On the first night, I met up with a very nice British couple who have been travelling around the world for 8 months, and have another 4 or so to go.\u00a0 They really helped me overcome my sense of shock and loneliness that I very quickly experienced on the first day.\u00a0 They leave Tahiti tonight for Easter Island, and I am thinking about going along.\u00a0 A return flight will cost me about 550 dollars, but right now my Tahitian budget is doing very well, and I think I would kick myself if I didn’t take the opportunity.\u00a0 After all, Mr. Morley highly recommended it to me, and I have travelling companions, which is really wonderful.\u00a0 Anyway, that’s the gist of things.\u00a0 I have lots more really great stories from just the last few days, but don’t have the time to put them down here right now.\u00a0 Maybe they’ll have to wait in my paper journal for 5 months until I get back.\u00a0 Peace out.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
