Bula! That's Fijian for those of you that don't know, it means hello, or welcome, or cheers, depending on the circumstances and everybody uses it here. People are so friendly its unbelievable, everybody says bula and is just so nice. Our week in Fiji has actually been really busy, it turned out to be so much more than i ever thought it would be. After an amazing time in San Francisco (many thanks to Jasmin and Roger for that) and a boring 4 hour wait in LA air...

Hello Friends and family. On Friday we took a bus up to Berkley, home of the university of California and also the Cohen family!

Hellooooo, We are currently in New York and loving it! The flight went by quickly and the food and in-flight entertainment were suprisingly good (i watched 'Last King of Scotland', 'Children of Men' and a bit of 'Music and Lyrics'). We arrived on thursday evening and after going through customs really quickly we went straight to our hostel. We then went out for a quick (and huge) slice of pizza before an early night. On friday morning we got up really early (w...
