The Leaving Party

Last Saturday I was invited to a leaving party for the computer technician which started at 5 pm.  It was held at a bar half way between my accommodation and the Marangu Village. There was plenty of drink and cooked food to eat.  All very civilised and friendly with lots of chatting with different people.  When it came to the speech time formal exchanges were given and presents were produced.  At this point the chanting began and the parcel was handed from guest to guest who had to sing the chant and sway to the rhythm of the music.  Two beers and no inhibitions I whole heartedly joined in the singing and dancing and then the present finally reached the recipient  Toni who open the box.  When the second present came around the singing  and dancing continued.  This was a bulky present and in the fading light looked like any other present. I think the saying is 'a live chicken in the hand is worth ten in the bush'  All good fun.
