First months in Solomon Island

来到所罗门一个月了,过着很平淡的生活。
每天早上起床洗澡后,就下楼煲热水冲茶喝,偶饿吃吃面包当早晨,
吃过早餐后,我们就会驾车到菜市去买菜或到商店去买日用品。
欧俄也会在外面用餐。这里有华人开的餐厅,也有澳洲人开的咖啡馆,
这当然是我的最爱了,因为可以喝道美味的咖啡。

it been a months we have stayed in Solomon Island,
we wake up every morning, shower with cold water, 
have our breakfast with coffee and bread,
sometimes we will go out for breakfast at Chinese restaurant.
we also found a breakwater cafe open by Australian, there have nice coffee and sandwich,
we used to dine in there most the time too.

这里常常下大雨,应该是说刮骀风吧!
真的超夸张的,雨水会从窗口里渗进来屋里面,
我们需要不停的扫水抹地,客厅,房间都湿湿的。
我们的家住比较高,还算好,我们下面那条街就惨了,
因为靠近河边,都水灾了,可怜他们啊!
不过据说这样严重的水灾他们也是第一次遇见,
之前那次严重的水灾是发生在1982年的时候,
该说我们很幸运吗? 来了一个月就遇见!!!

Here rain very often, and the rain is very serious with typhoon.
rain water will come in from our house window,
the floor is wet all the time at our living and kitchen.
The people tell us they haven seen such a terrible flood before happen in Honiara here,
this is also the first time they seen the heavy flood like this.  
The previous heavy flood happen in Honiara was in 1982,this is the second time.
Are we saying that we are lucky the witness this in just a months time we arrived?


这里也常停电,就像今天,下了两天大雨,又停电中,
我去现在也是坐在漆黑的客厅打着文章,只点上两根蜡炬取光。

And yes, the electric also cut off here very often too,
after two day big rain non stop, i am living in the dark at night just with the candle light on.
and i really don't like it.

停电的第三天,水也停了,我们无法在煮晚餐,
冰箱也因为没有电,里面的肉都无法保存了。
而我也在这一天来红,导致我的心情很暴躁,很难过。

No electric supply of day 3, the water supply also cut off.
and the food in the fridge was not able to frozen anymore.
And my period coming on this same day, i feel so frustrated.

这样也算是一种生活体验吧!
没有水电的日子,我真的想疯掉,这里水灾的新闻CNN也报道了,
爸爸也一直facetime我可是找不到我而担心,还好老公办了一直手机,
可以上网,我才能whatapps爸爸跟他报平安。

This is call experience of live i guess.
But live without water and electric was terribly bad. The flooding news was report 
on CNN too, and dad is worry about us,he try to facetime me but cannot get though.
becoz i have no wifi in the house. lucky my hubby got apply a Solomon hp with data,
so i can still whatapps my dad to tell him we are safe here. 

因为一直停电,老板叫我们先去住酒店,我们就到附近一间酒店去问,
他们也没有水来,所以我们就没住了。隔天我们再过去酒店问,他们的水源回复了,
所以我们就住进去了,一共住了2天,每天要1000。酒店里的水很大,
我们冲凉冲到很爽快!
晚上我们就在酒店这里的

Good news is boss ask us go stay in the hotel first, so that we can have good rest and shower,
so we go, we check in to the hotel call Solomon Kitano Merdana Hotel,
is a Japanese name,i think is run by a Japanese too.
Per day room charge is 1000 in Solomon dollars.

下面来看看照片
here are picture of our daily life.

这是我们住的家,家有两层的,楼下是砖墙,楼上是木墙,
所以晚上的时候很冷。我们几乎都没有开风扇睡觉。

we are staying in a house of double storey house. ground floor is a brick wall house but second floor was 
wooden wall only, feel so cool at night sleep without fan.

Danbo family in a coconut, the coconut here is sweet and good.

view from our house



这是楼下的water pump, 我们需要水冲凉就必须在楼下
这里开电,然后水才可以pump上去楼上。
意思是说,假如停电的话,水也就无法接到楼上去了。
所以我们的厕所时时刻刻都必须加满水在桶里面。

we have a water pump at ground floor,every time we need to fill water at the first floor
bath room, we need to switch on this pump,in the others words means,
if there is no electric supply, the water also cannot fill to bath room anymore.




这是我们常来买菜的市场
this is the market we buying vegetable.



海边的鱼摊 
sea side fish stall
我们常来的杂货店

这里也有很美丽的海,有很多珊瑚。

This is the breakwater cafe that i mention previously, the coffee and food are good here.

我们住了两晚后就回家去了,我们找了电局的人来维修外面的电线,
现在一切回复正常了。

we call friend to ask the people come to repair our house electric,
and they repaired. we now get back to normal again!
