well there's the full house today. along with jade and his parents other relatives from the island also here. great aunts grandma and a view sister are visiting. there speaking the tribal language from aachen and enjoy the big family gathering. but child is busy he has to head out to see his wife to really wants to go with him it's an opportunity she wouldn't miss for the world. it takes half an hour to reach this uninhabited island child and his fall from the shovel the tide is going out and he doesn't want his boat to run aground.

charley has run out of the bamboo like ratan cane he's using for the foundation's boat. but he knows where to find more here in the jungle. on the mainland where he now lives there's no jungle and no rest her. this island used to be their home. and they bombed and the one that was my father in law's house. my log and my house was over there. the family had the island to themselves. and i wanted to stay here. it was nice and quiet i don't like

noise and crowds. but the subject cheered had one drawback. but we had to move away because we were attacked from people we knew. they were tied up on my. back and we had just told our c.q. combo's they wanted the money we had made. the risk that their attackers would return was too great. today they're reminded of the. jury is busy collecting plants.

before they settled here they'd live to see only a temporary wooden house when they felt like. you know your neighborhood then we lived on the boat we could roam free we never stayed in one place. when it got dark we'd go ashore and sleep on the beach. we spent the days diving for shellfish and sea cucumber those. the women cooked in the morning and the men dived. the women would stay in the boat and for a while after the. we've got. we've got shia and knights they dive with torches. well they want flashlights they put fuel in a rod of bamboo so they could see underwater. liniment there.

we have a special relationship with a sea why many of our lives are intertwined whether say i live and i meant the bible even when we lived in housing as we maintained a connection to the sea we could see it and our boat from a house now on the mainland we can't see it and we don't even know if it's high or low tide. to me i wish i could stay in the boat i miss it so much but like to spend next new year's eve on the boat with me but it. didn't really need. to see lulls to really to sleep the boat her cradle. there's nowhere on dry

land where to really feels the same if. her house is two kilometers from the sea. and her youngest daughter doesn't even remember the time when the family lived at sea. this is the living room here's our t.v. and a cupboard. up early and it make up that this is the stove for cooking. fear of the horn noise so clowns that makes young girls breasts in mock are called partout. my. new year he has to stay on the mainland longer than planned the

words outboard motor is broken. his father tries to repair the restaurants. when the family's together there is always a lot of joking and teasing me when a child picked up his daughter from the bus everyone thought they were a couple which explains the subsequent laughter. that one of the normal. you know. child goes off to check the chaps he laid a few days ago it's been a long time since he's had a decent catch he's not even recapping the cost of the petrol the both me it's.

been rough for days. checking all twenty traps is tedious and time consuming work. most disappointingly empty. only bothers with the squid he lets the crabs go he can't sell them and no one at home wants them. to them seafood is not a delicacy but a basic food stuff. charles

sells his entire catch. there's nothing left to take home and again there's no money left after his gasoline costs. all gone but at least he caught three kilos of squid at sea today. then there is the clams that she really gathered out on the island earlier. on. new years grandma works in a squatting position. on a cub and it's the best way to keep your balance and stay out of the way. they're there they're in the kitchen sink is unusual. as they did on their boat the family wash and prepare their food outside.

and they also collect anything that's edible in the immediate surroundings like insects. snails. and fish.
