| Auckland Art Gallery, one of my few trips Highly recommended |
I fell off my mountain bike on a rough downhill road a month ago. That was the start of my three weeks in Auckland, New Zealand, where I spent my days coping with the uncertainty of the future, but also how lucky I am in all of this.
Objectively I have had a great time, but the uncertainty of my
future (the wrist, the project, etc) has made my life stressful. I was in a zombie
mode and I got even more proof of what I learnt in General Practice course last
September- Unpredictable and Uncontrollable are two great Stressors.
I can’t describe everything that has happened… well actually I
can since I am a faithfull diary-keeper, but I am not gonna bore you. To
summarize, a dorsal avulsion fracture of the triquetral bone with high grade
sprains. Or you can say- a small fracture in my left wrist, with good
prognosis.
Now- I am back in Tonga and I will finalize my project in three weeks.
The 36th Annual Inter-Collegiate Athletics Competition has just
finished after three festival-like days. There has been amazing performances
from students in track and field’s, brass band entertaining and plenty of laughter,
cheering and singing in the audience.
With a rough estimation
of around 1500 people gathered in the grass field turned to sport arena outside
of Vava’u High School, this is probably one of the biggest recurring events on
the small island of Vava’u (20000 inhabitants, the town Neiafu having 5000 inhabitants).
The atmosphere was on top when the closing ceremony was
disrupted by a warm monsoon rain making students scream and run out to play in
the field.
