Yo! Samie.

just because it's difficult, doesn't mean it's impossible.
HOW TO SURVIVE FIJI 101 1) Fiji is a massive place, make sure you know where you are going and where you are. Have a map, a travel guide, a scribbled piece of paper with your address on it - just a general jist of where the fuck you are.  2) Don’t carry a lot of money on you. Usually when people carry a lot of cash they spend it like it’s nothing. Here in Fiji, I’ve realised everyone knows if you are a tourist or local. Tourists’ tend to have the fancier clothes, the big rimmed hats, the short dresses, the lighter/red burnt skin and also a confused look upon their face which is usually followed up by a stupid question.  3) Don’t get hustled. People will literally talk you off the street and down an alley to their “handmade designs” shop. Usually, they are pushy, friendly people with an actual shop, but if you find yourself in a different situation and with no shop at the end of the tunnel, RUN LIKE DONKEY KONG. 4) Don’t be a public homo. They will literally snap you into jail. Earlier in my travels in this crazy country I witnessed a kid get dragged from a home and thrown into a police car. The weapon of choice, oh you know just your average stick with a leather belt on the end, the new “police whip?” 5) SUNSCREEN. This place is sunny and hot. You may be tempted to sleep under the sun’s natural blanket all afternoon, but trust me once you wake up, you won’t be going back to sleep because you’ll be in too much fucking pain. You stupid red bastard.  6) Generally locals are friendly but, just like every other place in the world, you get the seeds. The guys who see you, thinking “easy one night stand” and will use all their charm and seductive voices to get in your pants. Don’t be that girl who gets knocked up overseas with no contact details for the father.  HAPPY TRAVELS
