Boy - That bugs me!

We move to a new office this week. It is air conditioned. This is heaven here in The Kingdom.

We also have some interesting bugs. Yup bugs.

Meet our good friend the Rhinoceros Beetle. These guys are a local pest that eat coconut trees. In the past there has been a bounty on these guys, you turned in their wings for money. Now the coconut industry is, like most industries here in Tonga, mostly dead, so nobody cares about our big friends.

As you can see we have had a great time with this guy (the second one I've found so far at the new office.)

Emily - The blonde woman making eye contact with our new friend, works nearby. She is another PCV. Niki, the brunette woman is an Australian Youth Ambassador who works in my office. Emily named this guy 'Ed'. We know its a male from its horn.

You can also tell just how boring it is here in Tonga, especially at the end of the month. We are all broke. Today the group sits in the PC Office and shares slices of green moldy bread. With the runaway inflation here it is just a matter of time before we start to collect the beetles and have a BBQ. Who knows, maybe they taste like coconut! Whoops, there goes Niki eating Ed now!
