What clothes you might hang out to dry at night will be gone in the morning. They'll sell their grandma for a quarter then tell you that you didn't pay the agreed price which will be at least twice as much. etc. etc.

The people of Vanuato are happiest because they live in a hut, own the land the live on, they live off the land, and don't like outsiders.
Awesome predictable gringo mentality verbal

Some of that may have elements of truth - wonder why some folks don't like foreigners too much? What have they got to offer? Very little. Hell.. it's the same where I am when they open their mouths, depending what comes out - hardly surprising.

Chances are you are 100% correct in that they own their own land and live off it. That's part of the whole idea eh??
