Kolonia
After living in Kolonia for a few weeks, I think I was ready to depart to a more "out in the boonies" part of the island. My dual personal view of the world is torn of course, the outer municipalities are more traditional, less english is spoken, people are more active, and generally just even more laid back. Kolonia is bit more "hectic" (although I hesitate to use that word) and more a clash of cultures which I am also incredibly interested in. Of course there is a local "menwhi" (outsider/white person) bar which quickly became a bit of a home away from home, partly owned by a 'gone local' Aussie (I think their all over the pacific) and his Pohnpean wife. So there are pieces of my new home I love and parts of the place I just left which I'll miss. Getting into town without our own vehicle will quickly become a test in the ingenuity and cleverness of our wits and intelligence (both personal and social), or maybe just a test of how much we can learn Pohnpean which I am putting energy into as well. More on Kolonia to come later. There are a few pictures to hold your curiosity over.
