Was just chatting with a couple of guys from New Caledonia up on the smoking deck. It seems there's some pretty shocking stuff happening over there, towns villages being set alight there, roadblocks having to be set up to police who comes in and out to weed out violent troublemakers etc..
I mean maybe it's been in the news more while I've been away, but it was all news to me, hadn't seen anything about it on any mainstream news channel.
I don't know enough to say what's going on atm, but there's definitely A Thing happening there that's worth paying attention to.
Damn.
Looking back, that was bordering on illiterate, but I'm getting the warm fuzzies seeing people looking out.
I mean, the warm fuzzies could be down to an afternoon of tequila and an evening of... well, tbh, lots of alcohol, only half of which I can remember.
But, let's face it, the alcohol isn't the important part, is it? That'll be the human connections thing.
Whole conversation stayed with "hey, my eyesight is rubbish, can you see what that thing on the horizon is?"
It's kind've sad that an innocent question like that can lead to learning about so much about, but also cool in that just chatting to people from other places can lead to wider awareness
