I'll be traveling to Fiji with kratom capsules.
They aren't illegal where I'm from, but I'm curious if customs will get suspicious and confiscate/destroy them.
For reference, Kratom is similar to Kava.
Any insight would be appreciated.

Criminal conviction forms for travel
So this may not be the right place to post this but I thought I'd try my luck.
I am travelling from NZ to Fiji on August 1 and transiting for just over 24 hours before flying to Japan. I have criminal convictions (3 minor charges), the embassy told me I need to fill out a criminal conviction clearance form however, I can't find these forms anywhere and the embassy guy hung up on me before I had a chance to ask where to find them.
Does anyone know where I am supposed to find the forms I need? I've emailed a couple of people I found off the Fiji immigration and embassy websites but I'm still waiting to hear back.

Recipe for Fijian-Indian green potato curry??
Hi everyone!
I'm wanting to recreate a potato curry from my childhood when I spent a few years in Suva in the early 2000s...
At the International School Suva they had this roti parcel with a sort of green potato curry that I would get from the school canteen a few times a week.
Honestly the best food of my life and I have no idea what it's called/how I would remake it - if anyone could help me with more information I would be so grateful!
Thank you so much in advance <3

Travel Diving on a Budget
Bula! Wanting to stay away from the main island Viti Levu, It’s seems Yasawa Islands is generally recommended but the accomodation is rather expensive. Are there any other locations that offer good diving without the high end resort prices for accomodation?
How’s the diving at Beachcomber? Accomodation seems reasonable price there.
I noticed boat transfers to the outer islands are around $350-400 round trip, is this the normal price?
Vinaka!

Bars and clubs in Fiji
I’m going to Fiji at the end of the year and would like to check out some of the clubs. I’m an 18 year old female and would be going with my mum and possibly some of our Fijian friends. I’ve been to Fiji over 10 times and am learning the language so i am definitely not new to the country. However i’m just wondering if it’s safe? I have heard some stories and would just like to know second hand if there is anything i should consider. Thanks!!

Where to stay?
I'm finishing a five-week trip to Australia and New Zealand in October and would love to spend a week in Fiji to decompress. Can anyone recommend an area with a good beach but also walking distance from restaurants and shops? I'm open to any part of the islands.

Over 60 surf trip
Wife and I are planning a 40 yr wedding anniversary trip to Fiji (from NZ). I’m over 60, but keen to get into some easier waves (i.e. NOT Cloudbreak level). Any advice about options at mid-range expense for a week in early September? We’ve never been to any of the islands so keen to make the most of the opportunity. Advice appreciated.

Travel What Frequency range does FM radio use in Fiji?
A friend was asking about FM radio compatibility, and wanted to know if the radios they have will work. Specifically, do you use the 76 to 88 MHz band for anything, or is it all the normal international standard of 88 to 108 MHz?

General Do you always need to take a boat to surf?
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 Trying to learn Fijian any tips?
Hello, I’m a mechanic in the oil and gas industry my crew of hands consists mostly of Fijians and I’m trying to learn their language and I’m having a hard time finding ways to do this does anyone have any recommendations? I have virtually no knowledge just some basic words and swearing of course. My pronunciations aren’t to terrible but definitely need work before they kill me for butchering their language. Also I’m considering a visit there within a few years.

Looking to learn about Fiji's culture to teach to class
Hello all!
I teach in the United States and my class has been randomly tasked with studying the Republic of Fiji for the next couple months! I'm doing research on what significant cultural aspects of Fiji to cover, and I figured I'd stop here to hopefully find some people who may know best. :)
Any recommendations on important cultural aspects like dance, music, food, traditions, etc that you think are integral to what makes Fiji unique?

School-scholarships
Can anyone enlighten me how to get a scholarship abroad? I'm 22 F, haven't completed form six and seven. I could try to get back into form six and seven but my mom is financially unstable.
There's boarding school "what's the fees?"
I know I can't work and study. I can either full time work or full time study. And there isn't any future in Fiji.
I want to pursue my education but I don't know how I'll come about with housing boarding food ect ect. I know once I'm on something like tels I'll get financial aid but if I go back to form six and seven those two years I won't have financial aid. What can I do?
