Hi everyone,

I'm looking for novels that speak to the Indo-Fijian experience in some way. Either the characters or at least the setting. Something that a person who grew up in Fiji could relate to.

I found a few via Google search, but most are quite intense and political. I want something more sweet, nostalgic, maybe related to family or self-discovery.

Any suggestions would be great. This is for a gift. Thank you!

Finally Fiji is coming back to Georgia to play Rugby it will be an amazing test for us Georgians and for fans we should make most of it to be a celebration I know that's too far but if you are planing to Visit Georgia give me questions here I will answer all of them for you and give advices. Let'senjoy that game!

Bula! I recently accepted a new job offer that I have been pursuing for quite a while and as a reward for myself I decided to book a 4 days 3 nights solo trip to Fiji in late April-early May from NZ.

I have never been to Fiji before and initially I just wanted to stay at the resort and unwind (been a tough last few months). Because of that reason, I booked an all inclusive package with Sofitel at Denarau having heard good reviews re the hotel room, service and restaurants.

However, upon researching more I am really keen to slot in some time to do a bit of snorkeling potentially via a day trip island hopping or something similar. Can you guys recommend me the best bang for buck spot to do so? I heard good things about Mamanuca islands, Malolo etc but not sure which one I should go for? TIA

Hi all - going to Malolo island on the 20th for 6 days and getting a bit worried about all the comments on the rain these days.
I don’t mind rain at all, I just don’t want days of overcast where you get no sun at all. Is anyone in the islands now? What’s the weather like?

Does anyone know where i can get my suit resized. I've lost some weight and my suit is loose. Want to wear it for a formal even but need it resized (taken down a size)

Please give me the name of some underrated restaurants in Suva (with location if possible) Quite exhausted from going to those overhyped places.

Thank you 😊

Hey guys i'm from the Republic of Palau🇵🇼 I recently made a subreddit called r/PacificConnections. Basically, I created the subreddit to focus on discussions, the sharing of our cultures, insights on the pacific way of life, and also to raise awareness on the challenges we face as pacific nations, and how we are affected by foreign influence both negatively and positively. If you have to time you are more than welcome to join and contribute🙏😊🤝

Have been staying at Denarau Island last few days and wanting to go on a short snorkeling trip.

It’s been raining all week which is fine but I can’t figure out if the water visibility on Akuilau Island is worth a snorkeling trip or not.

Advice from the local hotel staff has been varied some say the visibility is likely to be bad with rain runoff, but some say the beaches on the back side of the island will be clear.

It’s stopped raining today and the sun is peeking out from behind the clouds but wondering if anyone knows definitively; whether despite a week of rain it’s worth a trip to the Island just for snorkelling.

Thanks in advance for any insights.

Hi everyone,

We're arriving at Nadi Airport around 5:10pm and looking for tips on how to get to Malolo Island late afternoon. It seems like the water taxi might be our only option, but it's quite pricey at over FJD800. Any suggestions or alternatives would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance!

Hi all. Well aware nov/dec is the start of rain season, but how rainy is it? Is it still worth it to go? Any help would be very helpful

Background in brief.

Both accused had been found not guilty by the Magistrates Court of their respective charges.

ODPP appealed to High Court.

High Court (ACJ Temo) found merits to the appeal and found the two guilty. Matter was then referred back to Magistrates Court for Sentencing.

Respective submissions have been filed and presented by all parties. State seeking commital while Accused's (now found to be guilty) as seeking leniency.

Sentencing to be handed at 11am.

Please use this thread for any and all discussions regarding this.

(This is a test run to see if Mega Threads is something we can work with.)

My Girlfriend and I are heading to Fiji in late July for a weeks long holiday. We’re staying right in Nadi, 10 minutes from the airport.

We’re told this is the most popular time to go, and just wondering what realistic weather we should expect?

Also side note, any small things we should know before we go? things that are rude in fiji that we might not be aware of?

Thanks!

I only have a few days free after I finish doing a project with ThinkPacific. I want to see as much wildlife and scenery as possible (preferably birds) and preferably not be stuck near other tourists too much. Adventurous stuff would be cool. Unfortunately I haven't been driving long enough to hire a car so I have to stick to public transport. Fitness levels are good. Don't want to spend a lot.

What are some good places for me to visit, will be starting off in Nadi?

Also, I would love to see a coconut crab but can't get any information on where to see them and it sounds like they are rare anywau (which I guess is understandable considering they seem to be overharvested from what I've read).

Hello!

My fiance and I will be traveling to Fiji for our honeymoon this July. We land from Los Angeles at 5:45AM. We are hoping to fly the same morning to Kadavu at 10:50AM.

As we have not visited Fiji before, we are hoping someone may be able to weigh in on whether this is enough time to land, clear customs, and then make our way to our domestic flight? Otherwise we’d have to spend a night in Nadi as there is only 1 flight to Kadavu each day.

Any help you can offer is appreciated! Thanks!

I know there was a suspension of online permit services for a while. The ending date of the suspention they noticed was passed. So I plan to go to the Suva office for my inquiry. But I'm not sure that the office is functioning at this moment. Does anybody know about this?

With recent weather events and forecasts is it safe there at the moment? Staying in Natadola Bay, flying out tomorrow😅

Bula everyone! I'm a journalist looking to explore LGBTQI+ communities in Fiji. My interest was sparked the first time I visited, and met someone who wasn't entirely straight, however noticing Fiji was very conservative and mostly Christian.

I'm in need of a source/sources, that can essentially be my contact and tour guide. Feel free to get in touch with any stories, information, anything I need to know, or if you want to be a part of my documentary. You can be kept anonymous due to safety etc etc.

Thank you

In order to accommodate future growth and encourage more discussions, I am working on a handful of Flairs to tag posts.

I have created a few flairs. These are just temporary, of course and with due consideration from your input provided, I would like to set this as a norm.

Please feel free to suggest Flairs.

At the moment, I am looking at:

1. News
2. 7s Rugby
3. 15s Rugby
4. Soccer
5. Religion
6. Tourism
7. Sports. (Maybe Sports for all sports related posts)
8. Politics
9. Fluff (To capture all other types of posts that won't fall into one of the chosen categories?)

I'll be working with /u/sandolllars for a final list and hopefully from the beginning of April we can start with this.

Help for my thesis !!

Hi everyone, sorry to bother you! I am a student of an Italian University of Energy Engineering and I would like to develop a Master Thesis on your energy condition and more generally of all the Pacific countries of Oceania. In particular, I wanted to ask, if there are, what are the most important issues related to the supply of fuels for the production of thermal and electric energy and for machines and means of transport. Also, I wanted to ask you if there were any sources maybe talking about this problem. Thank you in advance!

E.g. "Gigil" (from Filipino)- The urge to pinch or squeeze something that is irresistibly cute.
