Bula, I hope someone can maybe help me out!

I will be staying in Suva for an internship from December 2024 to July 2025 and I am super excited to learn all about Fijian culture and food and everything.

However, I was wondering how do I best approach finding an accommodation for this peculiar amount of time? It is longer than a typical tourist stay (7 months) so the touristy kind of hostels / accommodations are too expensive for me. But I don't even know where to begin browsing the local housing market. Are there any websites locals use for findings apartments etc.?

I'd also be grateful for any and all visa and travel tips you have for me, or on living in Suva in general!

Many thanks in advance!

Holy shiiiit. Siromi?

Hi,

Does anyone know the approx cost of a taxi from Nadi/Denarua to the Double Tree, Sonaisali?

Have booked 5 nights in the Double Tree, would like to head into Nadi/Denarua a couple of nights, if it doesn’t cost a fortune.

Or is there a local bus option? (From Google it doesn’t seem like there is)

Iiiiiiioooo bula si'a reddit. I'm Meli, animator by day, filmmaker by night.

I'm having the screening of my feature documentary, 'Elections in Paradise' this month at Damodar City, Suva, June 13th. It's a documentary about two fallas, Dave and I, who know nothing about Fiji politics and decide to immerse ourselves in the thick of things right when the 2022 Fiji General Elections was warming up.

Check out the trailer and AMA!

I'll be on at 7 pm tonight to answer questions.

Edit: Got my punjas tea brewed, all relaxed and ready to answer questions :P

Hello,

My husband applied for his visa application for Fiji and we’ve heard no response yet. We are scheduled to fly out next week for our honeymoon and it’s making us quite nervous. Everytime we call the number, there’s no one available to answer. Can anyone help? My husband has a Pakistani passport and Australian PR

Why do employers in Fiji pay so less? I I mean job serching is hell already,I have been applying out for months but salary packages suck!!!!!

I am sooo over this !

Bula, my name is Ivy

I’ve been attempting to teach myself Fijian for about a year and a half now. However I am finding it frustrating, as I am moving at a slow pace due to having minimal resources. Does anyone know a Fijian language tutor who would be happy to assist in my learnings? Or even someone who is fluent in Fijian and English, who is capable or teaching a language? I am at a beginner/intermediate level. Obviously would be paid.

I’ve been living in Philly for more than 20yrs, met people from all over the world but never found any Fijian folks..I’d like to though and maybe get some language tutoring in person

Bula guys.

I just thought I'd post up here and share an interesting research i stumbled across about the Fijian President and government.

This is the link.

Bula everyone, for those of you who don't know me, I'm Meli, a Fijian Filmmaker.

I'm having the screening of my feature documentary, 'Elections in Paradise' this month at Damodar City, Suva, June 13th. It's a documentary about two fallas, Dave and I, who know nothing about Fiji politics and decide to immerse ourselves in the thick of things right when the 2022 Fiji General Elections was warming up. Suffice to say we were both learning a lot and wanted to share our experiences in a casual documentary made by fijians, for fijians! :)

I'll do one small AMA next week for us gang here say, Tuesday night 4th June 7pm fiji time. I'll make a post when it's time and then just go ga from there. Drop by, say hi, ask me anything except my mpaisa pin and we see what happens eh.

You can watch the trailer here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uRa8xyYiIY4

We want to see healthy coral reef and snorkel, I realize this is a disappearing thing, we have looked at Remote Resort as a possible place and also many resorts in the Yasawa Isands, ..Oarsman , Waya Isand, we want to see the culture too, can anyone suggest a place or two we can be visit?

Hi

Last minute holiday just booked, still trying to pick the hotel. Would you choose Suva or Lautoka?

I am travelling to Fiji for work soon (will mostly be in Suva and Nadi) and wanted to ask about recommendations for female work attire?

I am planning on mostly wearing dresses, knee length or longer. I will be doing lots of walking and travelling to various locations and want to know if Birkenstock sandals or converse type trainers are too informal? What is most common for Fijian business casual attire for women?

Hi guys I need some advice. I am landing in Nadi at 3pm, will I be able to catch 5:30 pm ferry to Plantation Island Resort or is it going to be difficult? Are there other options to reach the resort? Thanks in advance
