A cagou, New Caledonia’s flightless bird - Parc forestier, Nouméa









This is an example of the awesome things that the environment gives to us…Let’s take care of it:)



someday ill go to this place…

One of my French teachers back in the day, Madame Ferrari (or as we used to call her ‘Fezza’) told us about the indigenous Kanak people of New Caledonia. Apparently as indigenous people they have certain workplace rights that allow them to retain jobs even when breaching company policies. Anyhow, she was staying at a resort in New Caledonia, sipping daiquiris by the pool and lounging luxuriously amidst cool aquamarine waters and tropical palm trees at sunset, when a drunk Kanak came over and decided to serenade her. Out of tune and extraordinarily loud, the Kanak stumbled over to her deckchair and ultimately fell upon her before ejecting the contents of his lunch onto the formerly glistening white tiles of the pool area surrounds. True story.
