Bula!

In an internet cafe across from the Sigatoka River. Arrived in Nadi on Friday, stayed a night at the Nadi Bay Resort Hotel, and took a bus to Sigatoka on a tropically rainy Saturday. Met Sindhu mama at the family's stall inside Sigatoka market and he called the house to warn them of my impending arrival. From Sigatoka town it's a 10-minute taxi ride to Nana's farm along battered Valley Road in Korokoro. Was welcomed by Nani, Premila mami and Keshni mami and eventually said 'Ram Ram' to Nana and 'Namaste' to Baba mama, Aashoo, Sonali, Siddharth, Akaash, Ajay mama and Lenny, who all live on Nana's farm compound. Picked bora with Ajay mama yesterday and today in between several hours at the Sigatoka Club to watch the locals beat a snooker team from Tavua yesterday.

Will post more from Fiji when possible.
