Travel Tip in Fiji - 10 Things not to do

[@TM686K]

A few more tips especially for those going to the more rural areas in Fiji. 1. As hard as it is, try to maintain crossed legs when seated. You can change legs time to time but pointing your feet at someone is considered a sign of offence. 2. Don't be upset if a lot of the villagers do not make eye contact with you, it is a sign of respect and constant eye contact at someone of higher rank or prestige like a Chief, an elder or a guest is a sign of disrespect. 3. Do not touch the head, even when it comes to children. Like most other cultures in the Pacific the head is sacred (tabu). 4. If your local guide tells you of a few rules before going to a village yet the villagers themselves tell you otherwise (i.e your guide says you have to wear a sulu in village grounds but the villagers say not to worry about it), still insist upon wearing a sulu as the village will warm up to you quicker. Same thing with shoes in the house, they always say its fine out of generosity but will like it more (but won't say it) if you do take your shoes off.

I always use Google Maps with the taxis. Generally 1km = $1 FJD and starting fare is $2 before 9pm and $3 after which should give you an idea of costs.

I'm surprised to hear about the light clothes point. You'd think with Fiji being an oceanic country they would prefer wearing light clothes. But that's good to know.
