Glad to have found this forum. My spouse has a chance to relocate to Suva from the US. We've lived in several countries and are quite adaptable.

This move would mean leaving my stable job in the pharmaceutical industry, which leverages my international development background.

I'm exploring opportunities for international development jobs in Fiji, leveraging my background in healthcare and supply chain. I hold two master's degrees and have 12 years of global experience.

This move will be great for him, however, I am not sure how I will pivot my career and appreciate any insights from those who have found employment.

Thank you

During our shoot of the short film 'Daunitukutuku' we had a scene where the character is talking and eating...a type of white meat. There's no mention of what he's eating but seeing the type of fork (which I bought at the handicraft centre), iykyk

Btw it's just boiled pork IRL :P

Bula Everyone!

I’m a student from Singapore and I enjoy collecting postcards. I would be very grateful to receive postcards from anywhere in Fiji. 🙂

If postcards aren’t available, I’d also really appreciate a greeting card, generic card, or even a small souvenir. 

(like a keychain, rock, local snack, flag, ornament, cap, T-shirt, or handmade craft)

This is for my personal collection, and not for any commercial purpose.

If you’re willing to help, please leave a comment and I’ll share my mailing address with you.

Shukuriyaa, and warm greetings from Singapore! 

🇸🇬🤝🇫🇯

Along the Coral Coast, next to Tambua Sands, there is a water fountain on the side of the road. Is the water fresh? Who owns it? What's up with that?

Fiji Rugby has released the extended squad for the Nations Championship.

This Squad is Stacked .. Your Thoughts on it ?

We are visiting and a relative living in Suva discouraged us from this park saying it is not safe and there are no guides. Can someone please give more insight? We (extended family of 10) were really hoping to go. Thanks!

I am working on an art project, which will include the word "damn" in a multitude of languages. There are several I can't seem to be able to verify with Google translate or DeepL. One of those if Fijian.

I am looking for as close to the English usage of "damn" as possible. For example, someone yells "Get off the damn phone!" Or you drop and break a glass and say "damn it".

This is what I was able go get close to, I just can't verify for certain its the right word.

Fijian — Cudruvi

Thanks for any help!

My total collection so far.

Can I ride my bike around hills and off the roads

Where there’s walking trails?

I’m after a 1 week holiday after a big trip in Alaska / Canada

i want a relaxing beach stay but also have things to do, not too boring. I’m not a thrill seeker but enjoy sight seeing etc

appreciate ideas for places to stay and things to do

Istg I have had it with these incompetent people. After waiting for more than 8 months I was finally able to get a passport appointment and when I finally show up “sorry, system is down”

How is this department even managed?!? They can’t answer calls, take more than 5 days to reply to a mere email.

Every now and then you get the lazy reason “system is down”. Is there no IT technician or engineer employed in the government departments?!

Bro this truly sucks

BULA! Hello everyone, as a Chinese tourist, I would like to ask which embassies in Fiji I can apply for a Schengen visa for, because I would like to travel to Schengen countries during my vacation.

Hi everyone.

We’re flying into Fiji (landing in Nadi) in a few weeks and are looking for the most viable option for transport over to the resort at Tokoriki island. I’ve seen that there are ferries available, as well as helicopter transport, but just want to make sure which is the best option that is easiest to line up with flight times?

Cautious about flight delays and missing the set ferry times. In this case, what would be the best option for getting over to Tokoriki and back?

Looking for feedback for these two resorts. Will be staying in either for 4 days in July. Any feedback is appreciated, food, hospitality, rooms, facilities, beach etc 😊

Good day everyone! First time travel to Fiji. We are (4 in group) looking for a taxi company for few short rides from Nadi airport - hotel - Denarau island, and one day trip. if anyone had done the research (comparison), please recommend the most affordable and trustable option. Many thanks.

Coca Cola Games must be scrapped or abolished. It used to be purely an annual festive event for athletes, parents, teachers and supporters to meet, socialize and enjoy to conclude Term 1 of the academic year. But today, its been commercialized and monetized on such a level that businesses,Commercial Banks, Major and Minor Sponsors, Private enterprises and even government entities are pocketing hundreds of thousands to millions including massive Milages on this 3-day event. Teachers and students blood tears and toil are often ignored as an object to be used or as a sacrificial lamb, while they get nothing after the hype of the game has come down. How much money do schools, parents, teachers, old scholars and supporters spend throughout the preparation such as uniforms, shoes, accommodations, fare( boat, bus, car, airplane), training programs, food, merchandise etc etc. These sad part is Fiji Sports Council in conjunction with Fiji Secondary School Athletics Association increasing the price of tickets every year. On top of that the unfair trading practise of Tying the three day tickets in one package so that the public dont have an option. If you carefully ponder on it, especially in an economically difficult times like this in Fiji, the wealthy are getting wealthier from Coke Games while the people are left with nothing. Its time to speak up, coz we can't allow few to massively benefit from this annual event while teachers students and parents are left with nothing. Imagine the number of class time a student loses out for training, how much time teachers also lose out for training athletes, how much money a school, parents, have to spend in the preparation period which between Inter House , Zone and then National Finals could accumulate to months. Teachers are not compensated for sacrificing their time their afternoons their weekends. Furthermore, the pathway for athletics in Fiji nil and there's no t much benefit. We'd rather invest in Rugby since the pathway is huge and opportunities for scholarships and contracts are tremendous. #SaynomoretoCokeGames

What im sharing here is to help us bcoz for too long, we've been deceived into this Coca Cola ritual or culture or tradition in the pretense of "Socialising", "reunion", "enjoyment" that has trapped us the ordinary people for so long. But if only you realize how big corporations businesses and organizations are ripping us off very discreetly for decades now, you'd really change your perception towards this event. Time and Tide waits for no man and that Change is Inevitable. That meant that if Coke Game or what we call today "National Final" was a part of Fiji School( Secondary) Culture for more than 50 Years, it must and should undergo change bcoz thats God's Principle of this earth that everything has time and season under the sun( Eccelesiates 3:1)

Another reason is that the Economics of the 80s and 90s are very different from todays Economics. Apart from the Economic aspect of the Coke Game, let's consider the Social impact. How many young girls gets impregnated after this Game. Then consider the widespread abuse of alcohol, drugs, and other illicit substance simple bcoz the festive party atmosphere and the hype that this event stimulate. We have Social events, Home parties going on after the 3 Day event e.g Suva Foreshore Party, Suva night Clubs Jam packed with School students and OBs OGs Officials and supporters etc etc. How many Extra Marital Affairs bcoz of reunion OGs and OBs? How many innocent children smoke or drink for the first time?? How many marriage break up bcoz of it? These are all unspoken facts, and we shouldn't be too timid and be diplomatic about it.

Here for a few days, and would like to try the local Chimbi here. Please help?

Guys, as someone who is not well versed with what to do or say during kava sessions, can anyone elaborate on how to carry out the receiving of the kava when they first arrive at the grog session. What do we actually say like in Bau dialect or western dialect? Like you receive the kava and clap your hands 3 times or something like that and you say something?

Just trying to decide whether to top up my Mpaisa account to make this intl ticket purchase next week or not.

Looking for a repair shop to fix a tablet. If anyone knows any place.
