Contributions required for the new 2014 Guide to Living on Cocos Islands.

Hi all, in an effort to assist new residents and visitors to understand life on Cocos Islands, we are calling on everyone in the community and for those off island, to contribute towards this new guide. Submissions can be anonymous, as it's only a self help guide to better understand the complexities of island life.

Think of it as a survival guide and tips to help understand the politics, social fabric, the unemployment dilemma, economic development, tourism and most importantly how to look on the bright side of life whilst on Cocos, because this is essential for survival.

So if you have a short story to tell from your own experience or someone else's experience whilst on Cocos, drop us a line or two.
