Coconut eater!

Owen is one of the maitre d’hotel. Owen is also the gayest person I’ve ever met. What surprised me is that everyone here is completely ok with it. Homosexuality is accepted as a part of normal life, and nobody sees anything weird or different about it. The rest of the world should learn from these guys. Apparently in the ancient times Polynesians used to raise their eldest son as a girl… which…uuh…. Is just slightly weird.

Anyways, he’s funny. Both purposefully and unintentionally. He told one of our extras I was a porn star. Now she gives me weird looks. He’s also got this thing for coconuts (no pun intended [ok, maybe a little]) One day, in the middle of service he goes up to a tree, wrestles off a coconut, the grabs a huge butcher knife and starts assaulting this poor coconut until its splintered everywhere. Then he drinks it in one gulp, scoops out the insides, stuffs them in his mouth and continues serving. He comes into the kitchen now and occasionally hacks up our coconuts. Then of course there’s the little run he does when he burns toast which is just priceless. He’s the big party-er here, which sucks for him cuz there’s only 1 club on Bora and its only open Friday and Saturday… but Im told he does make good use of it.
