Last night was the inaugral Carols in the Islands, kind of a Christmas in the Park.
It had all the normal ingredients, glow sticks, Christms Carols, choirs and bands, Santa arriving by chopper, AND a few Honiara special items like Kiwi Ramsi soldiers with machine guns, and kids who had never seen Father Christmas before so didn't have the normal jaded attitude to the man in the red suit.
Was a great night actually - we got to sit on real soft grass ( a big novelty here) at the soccer stadium, and enjoy the evening with a bunch of kiwi and Solomon Island friends.
My favourite moment however had to be when the MC made the announcement to all the Emergencey Department Nurses (Hospital is across the road) to get back to work please as they were needed back at the hospital!!!! Nothing like sherking your responsibilities in the spirit of Christmas ay!!
