Hello Youn00b! (and a special shout-out to BBH for being SO patient.)

From the 4th of January to the 16th I was on Viti Levu in the Fijian islands. After stepping off the plane the first thing I noticed was the incredible humidity... It wasn’t even that hot, just humid. So, after the 5 and a half hour plane trip I was faced with another 3 hour car drive to Suva, the capital city. The following day was just spent plodding around like sleep-deprived zombies. But enough about my holiday, you want to see what Fiji was like, so here you go!

This is a simple one room house, which normally holds around 8 to 12 people, some houses have nothing more than mattresses, TV’s and, if they are lucky, running water.
Here’s some more pictures of those type of houses. Member Added Image Member Added Image
And in this one, notice the tenderment, then notice the big Coca-cola sign. Member Added Image
In the midst of all this doom and gloom commercialism comes to the rescue, this is a Digicel shop (which is a mobile photo company) right next to the houses in the previous few shots. Member Added Image
Out of place much?

This is a picture of the Australian Embassy, usually there would be up to 20 people queuing outside, trying to get a visa to enter Australia and leave Fiji. Out of these 20 around 5 would be interviewed and out of those 5 only 1 would be granted a visa.

This is the US embassy, being built. After the general structure has been completed all of the workers would have to leave, and not be allowed back in. Then the Americans would ship in their own workers to finish the job, something about ‘Terrorism’.
This is the fucking road quality, another few more days and my ass would have been pot-holed off.

And finally there were some great places to take some good shots, here are a few.

Hey, Nice pictures.
I've been to Nadi twice and to Suva once.

I don't know if that's the same bridge (the one you took a picture of) but when I was in Nadi there was lots of police at one of the bridges taking a body out of the water.

Nice pics man!

The only complaint I have about this article is that sometimes it's hard to tell which captions belong to each picture; they seem to alternate being below and above the picture they're describing which is kinda confusing.

Other than that, keep up the good work!
