Historic Win For Norfolk Island
The Norfolk Island team could hardly hide its excitement as the celebrations went on. “Are we surprised? Not really”, Norfolk Island Team leader told the journalist, speaking just after receiving the award for Most Humble People In The World.
It turns out that due to a tiny logistical concern, only votes from the Norfolk Island judges has been counted. However, organizers emphasized that the issue could not have had any impact on the final outcome.
