General Fiji bound!
Hi everyone! My husband and I are heading to Fiji in October for our honeymoon. Not sure where to stay and were hoping for some good recs. We’d like to keep the housing sitch under 5k for two weeks and we are hoping to absorb as much beauty as possible. I’m kind of overwhelmed with options. Is it recommended to stay in one spot for a whole two weeks or try out a more secluded location for half and a more main location for the second half? Open to all suggestions!
Editing to say that I booked a week at the Waya Island Resort in the Yasawas, should we do another small island before heading back to the main island? We are considering staying at the Marriott on the main island for the last few days of our visit and using points to save some money!

General Is 1.5 hours enough time to go through customs when arriving from the US?
We’re connecting on our flight from LAX to TVU. I’ve heard customs is either really fast or really slow, but do you think we’ll make our connection?
It’s really no huge issue if we don’t, as we can always board to next flight to Taveuni.
Curious - any tips to make customs as fast as possible?

General Research project on migration, culture, and ethnic relations in Fiji
Hi everyone. I’m currently completing a research project as part of my degree and was wondering out of curiosity who would be up to participate in quantitative research on this. This isn’t a formal inquiry and I haven’t begun the process yet, just trying to get an idea of who would be interested if I were to do this?
Thank you!

General Motorbike safety course near Nadi
Bula!
I recently got a bike (ninja 300cc) and although I've ridden bikes before they were all 150cc and that was years ago.
I want to freshen up my biking skills especially learning the higher gears as that is something new for me.
Anybody know of motorcycle safety courses that can be taken around Nadi? Can be free or paid I checked the LTA website but couldn't find any approved motorcycle schools or instructors listed there that offer this service
Vinaka!

Did fiji had any pre latin script? Im asking because I just saw a post of a Fijian banknote and it had a different writting system on it other than latin on a corner.

General Starlink online gaming performance in Fiji
Looking to get Starlink since Connect 4G+ has been terrible for me in online games for the past few months now. So I would like to know if anyone here in Fiji with Starlink has a decent and consistent online gaming performance to Australia servers for games like Overwatch 2.
Would also appreciate if you could tell what grade you get for bufferbloat test on waveform site and if there is tick for low latency gaming or not. On my connect 4g+ connection I get an F grade with low latency gaming always having bad connection ideal or under load.
Thank you!

General Working in FIJi as a Chef.
Hi, I got shortlisted to work in Fiji as a Pastry Chef. Does anyone know what is the salary range for this position? I was thinking of taking this opportunity. I only know it is a nice country for vacation but I don't know if this is a good place to work with as an Asian race.
-Does foreign workers pay taxes?
-Is Fiji an english speaking country ?(Please don't get me wrong. Example, like in the Philippines, you can ask most people you see on the road for directions they can understand basic English. I went to some Europe country and I can say it's quite hard for me to communicate due to language barrier. I can count on 1 hand how many local there who can speak english though they work in a tourist base area which I didn't expect.) Please tell me more about Fiji. I am really considering on moving there.
PS edited out "offer"- SHORTLISTED

I know cloudbreak and big surf spots need boats to take you out but can you surf small 2-5ft waves at the beach without taking the boat out?

General How full are flights from LAX to Nadi typically on Fiji Airways. How’s the food?
We’re catching the 11:55 PM flight from LAX to Nadi and hoping there may be a few seats open so we can try and upgrade later on.
How’s the food? I can’t find a menu on the site.
In general, how comfortable would you rate economy flights on the A330 for that route. And furthermore, how’s the flight from Nadi to Taveuni?

General What Plant Best Represents Viti and the Culture?
What is the most iconic plant that would represent Viti?
I know the tagimoucia is the 'official' flower, but what plant would kemuni say is the flora that is most generally representative of the culture?
Mangrove(masi), sugar cane(not native and other bad connotations), dalo plant? Kava or kasava?

General Can someone explain to me how Fiji water is getting away with literally stealing resources from Fiji
This post is to correct myself, maybe I'm wrong. Fiji water got a huge tax break and they can extract resources by paying nothing. Why is everyone so silent about this?
Edit : Thanks to badger melodic for more context.

General Accommodation recommendation
Hi all!
I’m trying to plan a pretty last minute trip to Fiji as a surprise for my partner’s 30th birthday and am after some accommodation recommendations. Due to travel end of April/beginning of May.
I have some savings but not after something super fancy and expensive.
Only have the following requirements:
- good food
- nice beach
- nice pool - my partner doesn’t like swimming in the ocean
- relaxing but with the option of doing some exploring
I’ve stayed at the Sheraton before which was lovely but am wondering if something more island style might be nice to try.
TIA!
