We’re wrapping up our first weekend in Suva and it has been lovely. We went on an excursion to Pacific Harbour yesterday, as part of the Orientation Week. It was great because we went to the Arts Village where we got to see what village life was like in the past and how its influences remain in Fiji today. Fire walking, kava drinking and ocean swimming were what our day consisted of. We got a greater feel for Fiji’s history and incredible culture – ‘twas great!
Today is a Sunday, which in Fiji means all businesses and shops are closed (Christianity is highly prevalent here and people set aside Sundays as a day for worship and family). Fortunately, there was a little flea market going on in town that Ang, Christy, Kevin and I checked out. I bought honey that was made here on Viti Levu, Noni Juice (which is ridiculously overpriced at home and well-priced here), and lovely locally made jewelry. Safe to say it’s been a good end to our week :)
