No monkey butlers so far.
Also, we're one guy short on this job now. We all went swimming at the beach, one guy dived onto a rock or something, split his head open and fucked his neck up.
He left in an ambulance,

It doesn't have a sail yet.
I've just seen my workmate walking around with a neck brace on. He has a small fracture in a bone in his neck but is going to walk it off and hopes to be at work on Monday. Good luck to him I guess.
It turns out he just dived off the pier into shallow water like a dumbass.

This beach is 50% washed up broken glass and cigarette butts, 30% shells, and 20% sand.There's also a shit ton of hot girls in bikinis, and a few are topless. It's pretty good walking around half cocked all day.

Working nights means that the shop/office that sells only cigarettes and toothpaste is closed, and the rec room with ping-pong, pool tables, and the vending machine is also closed. It really is fun.

Also there's a conspicuous lack of vegetables.

There is rice with everything, even at breakfast. I can't take any more rice. Every now and again there is spaghetti or mashed potatoes and I have that. I was late to lunch and they ran out of salad, so I had the ham over the cous cous.
There is also either a cheese spread or a yogurt with every meal. I made a ham and cheese roll for later.

laughs in French at your request, and spits in your general direction
You can buy a phone data top up at 6pm, but not at 5:55pm. They make you stand there and wait, even though the cards are right there on the counter. The shop doesn't just sell cigarettes and toothpaste actually, they sell cigarettes, lighters, toothpaste, and phone cards.
Day shift pick up smokes and cards and give it to night shift the following shift change.

Update: Back in New Zealand, but another flight tomorrow to get home.
So that was ok I guess... I made about $20k NZ pesos but it was pretty brutal.
There's more work there early next year, but I'm going to ask for more money to go back. Fuck that place. New Caledonia is fine, theprison mine camp is a rough experience.
I had to give up my last weekend off, and worked through it to transition from night shift to day shift and continue on. We had to bust ass right up to the end to get the thing finished.

The prison camp and rice with everything still sucks as bad as I remembered, but it's better pay this time. In a better resort for the weekend too.

It's hot but not too bad about 30°C, humidity is okay. Apparently it's cyclone season from December to March.
@previous (chill dog !!81dzJNNYL)
Yeah that was for 5 weeks, I spent about 3k while I was here last time. This is all kiwi dollars though. I just worked out I'll be pulling $23k for 5 weeks this trip, with more hours and more per hour. Holy fuck Noumena is expensive though, $18 a beer in the tourist trap bars!

Not much really. Accommodation is paid for, and food in the camp too. I only pay for food in the weekends, and entertainment, booze, etc
