In 2007, a British TV channel brought a group from the small Pacific island of Vanuatu to make an anthropological study of British people. The trip was sparked by an alternative index of well-being in which Vanuatu ranked as the most ‘developed’ country on earth, while the UK came in at 108.6 In one episode, the Vanuatu citizens spent half an hour in Central London during rush hour trying in vain to engage commuters in conversation. They could not grasp why people would pass each other like objects and rush like bees in a busy beehive. As a newspaper review of the series put it: ‘This they thought was “crazy,” a rejection of the most important things in life, which they believe to be “love, happiness, peace and respect.”’ #njpoet
