Today we travelled to Nadi and experienced the culture of the streets and how friendly the people are. It’s amazing and unique in its own way. Fijians are very open and friendly; they just came and talked to us. One of the highlights of the day was being greeted by the locals. “Bula!!” It was also a new experience for us to walk down the city streets past shops and have Fijian shop-keepers trying to persuade us to enter their shop. Some of us found this a bit of a hassle.
We saw people singing near the market place and children having a Bible study. The children were so lovely and open!
Finally, Fijians get paid very low wages and it is no surprise that the cost of living in Fiji is low. Indeed the trip on the bus to Nadi was only 70 cents Fijian!!! Again, the bus trip was a real experience for us with the local Fijians talking with us and all of us crowding together enjoying the ride.
