Thank you Craig for translating Good Friends into Tok Pisin, one of the languages of Papua New Guinea. Craig lives in New Ireland which looks like a better place to catch some sunshine than Old Ireland. Mind you, it's only 3 degrees from the equator. They have potatoes there (known as 'English Poteto') but apparently sweet potatoes (known as 'kaukau') are more popular.
