Hi, my name is Luke and I go to school in Germany. I have a presentation coming up about the grace road church and I would like to know what your experiences with the cult are or what thoughts locals have about it. I hope this is not disrespectful or anything like that.
Bula vinaka!
Would the great minds of reddit happen to know where I can find and hire a ride-on mower or a brush cutter with a brush blender blade attached?
Subject property is in Navua, with a thick weed overgrowth that I'm hoping to get sorted ASAP.
Appreciate any and all feedback.
Malo!
Hi everyone!
I’m from the Philippines and I’m currently in the process of getting a work visa for Fiji. I’ve already completed my employment requirements, signed my employment contract and tripartite agreement, and finished my medicals. Now I’m just waiting for updates on my visa.
I wanted to ask those who have worked or are currently working in Fiji:
How long did your work visa take from lodgement to approval?
Which industry do you work in?
What’s daily life like in Fiji?
Is the salary enough to save money after living expenses?
How are the people, work culture, and overall quality of life?
Any advice for someone moving there for the first time?
I’d really appreciate hearing about your experiences, whether positive or challenging. Thanks in advance! 😊
I'm solo travelling and am flying to Nadi tomorrow. Anybody know any good spots for the weekend/want to hang out for some fun? 🥰
Hey guys! I’m looking to travel around Fiji in August and was wondering if anyone had an advice/opinions on whether it would be best to hire a motorbike or car?? Was also hoping to jump on a ferry to taveuni do they accommodate cars? Thanks :)
Has anyone figured out a way to catch/intercept the northbound Yasawa Flyer from the Mamanuca Islands (specifically Mana Island Resort) without having to go all the way back to Port Denarau first?
We're trying to get to Barefoot Manta Island Resort and are wondering if there's a transfer, water taxi, or another option that connects with the ferry.
Any advice or personal experience would be appreciated!
Travelling from NZ to Fiji next week. Is it best to get Fjd in NZ or when we arrive? Also interested in feedback from people who use Wise App. Planning to stay for about 8 days.
5 Ingredient Strawberry Pineapple Sorbet 🍍🍓
This summer is HOT and I want yall to stay cool out there so add this into the rotation! Easy to make, pretty healthy, and kid friendly! Enjoy!
Full Ingredient List:
1 whole pineapple
1 lb strawberries
1/4–1/2 cup coconut milk
1/4 cup honey
1–2 limes
Recipe Tips:
Allow the fruit to freeze for at least 4–6 hours (or overnight) before blending. If the mixture clumps up, add a little more coconut milk or lime juice to thin the sorbet out a bit.
I’m an older traveller who uses medicinal cannabis for severe long term pain and was wondering what the culture around it is like in Fiji. I assume it’s illegal but was wondering if people still grow and use it hush hush like they do in Australia. Any advice would be great thanks.
No one goes on that sub and the mods are inactive, pretty easy to just r/redditrequest it and get it back
Hi all!
I’ll be having a long layover at Fiji, Nadi. Arriving at 6am (local time), departing at 6:30PM (no luggage).
What would be best to do for that approximately 12 hrs layover? Love to enjoy some scenery and beaches! Can I go to Malamala beach club, or it would be too tight?
I never thought I would see the day where the commander publicly states that immunity should not be part of the constitution. Thoughts?
Fiji honeymoon accommodation - recommendations, please!
Planning on having our honeymoon in Fiji in March next year. The dream: a nice resort with lots of amenities where we can essentially just blob for a week (kid-free, woohoo!). A place that has: a good swimming (and ideally snorkelling) beach where we can alternate between lying on the beach and swimming; a pool; at least one restaurant with good, but not too expensive, food; nice rooms in which you can fully relax; a great bar where we can chill out while drinking beersies/cocktails; on-site, or nearby, massage service; relatively close to touristy activities/sights, but tbh we’ll be spending majority of the time chilling at the resort. I know that this means we won’t be seeing the real Fiji, but we’ve both been before (years ago) and experienced different parts of Fiji. The resorts that I’ve got my eye on are Marriott at Momi Bay, Intercontinental, and Sofitel. Intercontinental is a fair bit more expensive and I’d love to know if it’s genuinely worth it. I really like the look of Marriott, but am hesitant due to the isolated location, and the fact it sits near a man made lagoon. Would love to hear the good and the bad about these three, and any others with a similar vibe. Ideally we won’t be spending more than $600-$650 NZD per night. Thanks so much!
Hello, I will pay people to spend time at the Fiji airport everyday for the next month. Contact me if interested. Thanks.
lived here my whole life. still dont know what fruit its made of. none of my family members know either. ingredients list just says "fruit, salt, sugar, licorice".
what fruit is it???
It is very quiet here. So...here is an oldie but a goody.
The tragic and poignant story of a young Fijian Princess is the legend behind the origin of Fiji's unique flower, the Tagimocia.
The Tagimoucia, pronounced tang-ee-mow-theea, is unique to Fiji – in fact, it can only be found in two locations – on the island of Taveuni and in certain areas of Fiji’s second largest island, Vanua Levu, and then only at elevations in excess of 600 meters.
The legend surrounding the origin of the tagimoucia is poignant to say the least. The flower came into existence, so at least one version of the legend says, long ago when a beautiful princess from Taveuni was pledged in marriage to an ugly old chief as part of a political settlement.
In the meantime, a search party was combing the bush, and in due course, she was found beside the lake beneath the vine with its blooms. She had died from exhaustion and grief, and those who saw her beneath the flowers knew that her death would be forever remembered.
They named the flower the tagimoucia –“ to cry in one’s sleep’. It may be found beside Uluigalau’s crater lake, high in the misty slopes of Taveuni, recalling a beautiful princess and her tragic death.
All attempts to transplant the flower from Taveuni, including one to move it to the higher elevations of Mount Victoria, which is Fiji’s highest mountain, on Viti Levu, have failed so far despite ideal conditions. However, you can sometimes find the flower in your wallet. It is represented on Fiji’s $50 bank note. The representational design of the tagimoucia flowers on the note is based on the pictures you see here, which were taken by James Siers.
