@@HAROLDMAESULIA thank you so much Harold You made my heart jump with excitement. Our family used to live in one of those housings from a company named BSA... and the houses sit aling the coast overlookingbthe beach. While me and my brother together with kids of SIPL employees go to school st Woodford. Bless your heart Harold.
@@happysimpleliving I wasn't born at that time but I've heard stories about BSA from relatives who had worked there. I guess BSA was involved in rice production or something....the company got liquidated after a huge cyclone in 1986 (my birth year). SIPL kept going until 1999 when an ethnic unrest between Malaita and Guadalcanal forced it to close. That tension changed the entire area. A lot of houses were destroyed. My dad (he's a teacher) taught at a SIPL-run school at Tetere called Nguvia in 1999. The ethnic disturbance caused us to flee that area around June that year. It was not until 2015 that I got to travel up that road passed Foxwood again. It was an emotional ride that day. I could barely recognize the entire area. The palm oil trees were still there (new ones I guess) but the thriving life of that huge plain was no longer there. Thanks for your conversation. You've made me recalled a lot of good childhood memories. Have you ever come back for a visit lately?
It is recent. We are yet to have any community transmissions here and may be that's why people are reluctant to wear masks. But I think it's good to take precautions in case something happens.
