My favorite thing: Weekending

In Vanuatu, people use weekend as a verb. I guess we also do in English--but it sounds super pretentious to be like, oh, I weekend in X. To me, it screams uber-wealthy Manhattanite with a summer house on Long Island.

But here, you can just say, "Bae mi go wiken lo Tautu" or "Bae mi go wiken lo Vao" or anything like that, and it's just an understood thing that people do. You just pick up and go out. It's usually people who work in urban centers or teachers who do it. But it's great. My favorite thing.
