Introducing Fiji
Travel Alert: The political situation in Fiji is uncertain and could deteriorate rapidly, especially in and around Suva. Check Safe Travel for current government warnings and the BBC for news updates.
Bula! Burn this word into your vocabulary. The brochures tell you it means Hello! Cheers! Welcome! But the only thing warmer than a sun-induced coma beneath a Fijian sky is the smile from locals as they cast a friendly bula your way. It's Fiji in a (coco) nut shell - beauty, grace, relaxation and charm. Its therapeutic resonance shifts the weight from your shoulders and the tension from your bones. Even 'Fiji time' adheres to the bula philosophy, occupying a concept somewhere between GMT and infinity.
