Coconut Plant

We had fun touring the Tobolar Copra Factory today. They process the meat (copra) from coconuts into soaps, body oil and feed for animals. It was interesting to learn about. When we told our taxi driver to take us to the coconut plant everyone in the taxi laughed. They said, "what is coconut?" We said, "coconuts are those fruits that grow on the trees." Then they really laughed and said, "it is called "nie" (pronounced knee)." The locals have fun making fun of us. We don't mind.
