One of my favorite photos of my uncle David

I just like this photo because this is pretty much what Lolo David does with his evenings. Jokes, chews kava, jokes, chews kava. This photo was taken in the main room of my host parents' house. So on the red tray are little pieces of kava root that have been cleaned. They're cut to about the size of french fries. You take a few at a time, chew them to mush, then spit them out into the bowl. Once you've chewed through all of them, you mix the chewed mush with water. Then you drain it through a piece of cloth to take the fibrous bits out.

It's disgusting. But it'll do the trick!
