Another short story about being hit on in Pohnpei...

Michaela and my favorite stick-twirling, samurai-in-training, "hey lady"-sayin' Pohnpeian was in full form this morning. I was walking to work and there happened to be a group of 4 other Pohnpeians walking near me (witnesses). He walked past us and started doing ninja moves at a barking dog. As I turned back to check out his ridiculous moves, we caught eyes. He than began to yell, rather loudly, "Mensung mwauh (good morning) pretty legs! Pretty legs, mensung mwauh!!" The other Pohnpeians (and I) burst out laughing. This only encouraged him to get louder. He repeated himself over and over until I was finally out of his line of vision. BAH!!! Pohnpei met!

I do not seem to attract the same sort of attention. In fact no one has ever mentioned my legs. ;-)

Trying to making someone jealous with these posts? ;)

Hi Meghan!

Google found your blog for me today - an incredible find, since I'm going to be teaching English at COM next year with WorldTeach. If you have the inclination, I'd love to pick your brain about your time there (I leave in about four weeks!) - but otherwise, just wanted to sent you a big THANKS for your blog. I'm definitely encouraged by your positive take on the experience!
