Je suis en Nouvelle-Calédonie
First, the airport here has free wireless internet. Even if it wasn’t a nice airport (which it is) that alone would make it the best airport in the Pacific. Once again, the French are the biggest sticklers at Immigration check in. I’m off to find a place to stay (yeah, I don’t have that yet. …
