Bula! (as they say). I've arrived in hot and sweaty Fiji. I jumped on my shuttle to the hostel and found out what "Fiji Time" is right away. The driver of the shuttle stopped the car and said "I need to go to the supermarket, do you want anything?" We ...

... Sleeping on a mat on the floor isn't as uncomfortable as you think, even with four snoring people lying next to you. 4. Everyone in Fiji seems to have roosters 5. Roosters don't only crow when the sun rises. 2 am in the dark is a perfect time for them to ...
