Welcoming you all to the year of the Metal Tiger!But that's not all, aside from Chinese New Year, we've also celebrated St. Valentines, Carnaval in the French Caribbean, the Winter Olympics and, of course, the 6-nations rugby which is in full swing! All the excitement was a little too much for our poor DSL connection, which has been in spasms all weekend. Today it's finally sorted itself out (the technicians in Tahiti were probably all out partying/watching the Olympic Games). For those of you who don't know, the french are actually pretty good at those old winter sports, so it's quite a big deal here, which is a teensy bit weird as most of us in Rurutu have never even seen snow! But we do have our own (half-)Tahitian medal hope, the snowboarder Gary Zebrowski, he's reached aito (super-hero) status here. While surfing and snowboarding aren't so different it's still quite amusing that we even register......Go Gary!
