Who's Goin' Chicken Huntin'?

My first experience staying with a Tongan family. It was tough at first. Bed bugs. Cold taro and corned beef for dinner. My stomach started to disagree with me.

Bright spot: the first night, PCV Dan and I heard a ruckus outside. Went out to see what was what and saw that our homestay brother, Samu (big dude) and his friends were shooting chickens out of trees with slingshots. When they fell, the guys scurried around the yard until they were able to scoop up the chicks by the neck (picture the scene in Rocky). The next day, you could see feathers hanging out of the fridge in the kitchen. I fully appreciated dinner the following night.
