gone away



This hangs on my wall.

I learnt something this evening. I said that I would be going away for a few days. (I am heading back to Nova Scotia - which means that my computer access will be very limited.) In any case my statement met with laughter. I was puzzled. Then they explained. It seems that saying that someone has "gone away" here means that that person is dead. I am not dead, yet.
