Visiting a remote island village

Added: 2026-05-25

[00:00:00]I just spent about an hour and a half in St. Cecilia's Church in a little village.

[00:00:05]And there was a 14-year-old girl whispering to a 20-year-old girl.

[00:00:11]And I told her, "You don't have to whisper. I don't understand a word you're saying."

[00:00:15]And even though she didn't understand a word that I was saying, uh the uh the uh facial expressions and laughter that I portrayed came across.

[00:00:24]Uh the 20-year-old told me she was telling me that you're the first white person she's ever seen in real life.

[00:00:31]Uh the 20-year-old had seen white people or a white person anyway in uh years ago, many years ago in a uh like 15 years ago.

[00:00:41]Or she thinks she did anyway in uh in in the city.

[00:00:45]I asked the older guy over there, who was about 50 years old, and he said the last time there was a white person in our village was in 1992.
