robotman 16:46 UTC 21 Oct 2008 | I will be in Fiji for about 5 days on business. What can I get into when the day is done? |
mandja 22:11 UTC 22 Oct 2008 | Any particular PART of Fiji? What do you WANT to get into? Cafes? Nightclubs? Shops? Also "when the day is done - I assume that you mean about 5pm? Where are you staying the night (accom)? | 1
mandja 22:12 UTC 22 Oct 2008 | I dont mean to be contrary, but Fiji is a big place. Its like me saying "what can I do in the USA"? | 2
raro 06:08 UTC 24 Oct 2008 | Mandja is dead on right, If near Nadi, go into a Denarau hotel and get a drink. If in Suva, go to a local ex-pat bar. Stay away from the purely local ones on the back roads of town. | 3
robotman 17:10 UTC 27 Oct 2008 | Sorry, I will be in Suva. | 4
raro 23:15 UTC 27 Oct 2008 | OP--Pretty safe walking around Suva until maybe midnight in the back areas of town near those local bars. After that there are a lot of drinks on the road, and you can get hassled. Not really too dangerous, just not pleasant. Even some of the tourist-type shows are well worth watching. But if you go to a "fire-walking" type show, get there early, and watch how they put lots of green leaves on the rocks they will later be walking on! They remove them about five minutes before the show, so they are warm, but not that hot. (Just something to give you a different thing to look for than you'll read about in the brochures.) | 5
