On my way to the pizzeria a second time today, the 27th of March of 2015, I encounter Moli the Fijian in her garden as she trims her bushes in the sculpted shape of penises. They remind me of that old movie Caligula. Her name in Fijian means orange. Her husband Leong, also Fijian, studied sinograms as a child, but has forgotten everything. To each other, Moli and Leong speak a brownish English.

Moli my "grandma" neighbour on Lulu Island has big fig trees in her backyard, and she delicately trims her front yard shrubs in the shape of stumpy circumcised penises, reminding of the old movie Caligula about ancient Roman times. She is Fijian of mixed Chinese and East Indian descent. She looks just like a Japanese woman. "Moli" means orange in Fijian.
