Peace Corps Adventures in Vanuatu

Here are some things I won't miss (and they are all true!)
1) a crab in my shower
2) a crab in the ceiling of the bathroom
3) a crab in the ceiling of my outdoor kitchen
4) large spiders next to my toilet
5) rats in my bathroom, which run towards me to get out through the door
6) rats who ate my food in the kitchen and pooped everywhere
7) the cat who looks like he came from Pet Cemetery, and should be dead, and sits by my door to stare at me and scare the hell out of me (I have a witness!)
8) chickens everywhere, and they wake you up really, really early
9) pigs everywhere, that will either spill or swim in your buckets of water at night
10) cows, who will roam around and decide to spend the night on the steps of the church and leave mounds of their poop everywhere, so you can step in it when you're chilled out on kava in the dark
11) dogs, who are mostly cute and calm, but some who display horrible wounds or infections, mostly caused by angry people stoning them because they ate their chickens
And lastly, my worst nightmare:
12) milpods, large centipedes that have poisonous, painful bites, who decided to hang out in my bathroom, mostly at night, and who will stay alive after being cut in half with my machete.
I did not take pictures of most of these things, but I attached one of my rat-infested kitchen.

Now, don't feel bad for me, I'm the one that came home! There are some brave men and women out there as you are reading this. And if course, all the people that live there all their life!
