Bula!
This is going to be a quick one because the internet keeps going out and my roommate wants to use the computer too.
Fiji is still really fun. Last night we went out to dinner, we got pizza! I was craving it so badly. It was the best pizza I've ever had. My family ordered two 24 inch pizzas for 6 adults and one 5 year old. We ate it ALL! It was amazing. I ended up eating 8 slices... so much! I threw it up all night because it was way too much. But it was worth it because it was so good :) I know, I'm a fatty. But the pizza here is made fresh! Even the dough and sauce! So you order a few hours ahead of time so it's ready when you get there.
Sprite here is lemonade. It's a similiar container, but it's not a soda. It was surprising the first time I took a sip!
Taking a taxi is really cheap here. For a 30 minute ride it's like $5 Fijian dollars, or $2.50 American. What?!
I like to bargain with people over prices. I got a pearl necklace for $2 Fijian, and yeah, it's real. You can tell if you scratch it on glass and it goes back to normal. Pearls are so cheap here! But one American girl didn't know to bargain and she paid $300 dollars for the same exact necklace I got for $2!! You need to be careful with that here. White = money in their eyes.
I need to go though. We are cooking for our family tonight. They've never had out food! I love you and miss you all!
P.S. What the heck is your address Brooke? I want to send a postcard!

Hi it's Brooke. I am glad to hear you having a great time. It sounds like you got a really cool host family and I can't believe you got a pearl necklace for $2.00. I was suprised when I saw you had written already I didn't expect you to be able to write until you get to Sydney but I am glad to hear from you.
ReplyDeleteI sent you my address on a message in facebook. I can't wait to see the post card.
Hope you are having a great time and taking tons of pictures.
Brooke
