Be Nice!!

Nearly everyone you meet in Fiji will be very friendly, it is part of their culture. You will hear Bula so many times that you never want to hear it again.

FIJI BITTER

by bjmd22

FIJI BITTER or Fiji Gold or Fiji export are about the only beers you find consistantly in the islands, with Fiji Bitter being the most common. Luckily, it is very good beer. Try it!
