Hi Reader, How are you today? I am on my last days in New Caledonia, a big island in the South Pacific north east of Australia, that is an overseas territory of France. Many of you asked me where it is or said you had to open Google maps to locate it, so here are a few fun facts: They use their own currency, the Pacific Franc, which is the same that is used in French Polynesia, but are part of France. There are about 250,000 inhabitants, more than half of which live in the capital of Noumea....

Hi Reader, How are you doing this week? I am still in New Caledonia and just about to take a boat over to a hotel on a tiny island with overwater bungalows in a shallow lagoon where I will spend the next 2 days.

I did not manage to sleep at all on the first 13h overnight flight, and then tried to stay awake on the second one because of the time difference, but fell asleep a few times. When I landed, Australia was going through the once every 5 years census day and we had to fill the form even as tourists. "How many hours did you spend...
