One of the Chuukese girl's sister got married this past Saturday. She asked if the Chuukese students could come and sing at the reception. The students from the Island of Chuuk have a special way of singing. I don't know exactly what they do - but it sounds really different than when a westerner sings..... and it is beautiful. She said that she would come back and help transport students and she wanted us to be there around six or seven. I asked Peter if he would help. So I told him 6. But no Lovina. 7...... No Lovina.... finally at 8:30 we were ready to go. I am told this is quite frequently the way things work in Micronesia.
Originally I was told just the girls were going but it turned out to be both the men and the women..... Peter had a van full of girls and I had a pick up truck full of the guys. I am working on trying to learn the names of the male students when I have an opportunity. The problem is that they keep switching clothes.
After singing they invited us the have some food ....of which there was plenty ---- many of which I didn't recognize. I was adventurous and tried a few new things even sashimi. (Raw Fish).
