12:07 PM here. Listening to Canon in D - Pachelbel - For Halloween 2011 - (Electric and Acoustic guitars) on YouTube @ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7_AN0... while goofing around online. This is what I'm listening to because I am on a Halloween in June kick.
23:10 pm here in the UK. Catching up on all of the General Election reports on TV, and on the internet. Just wondering if we will all be heading back to the polling stations sometime soon!
11:10 AM Listening to At The Mountains of Madness (H. P. Lovecraft) - Thug Notes Summary and Analysis on YouTube @ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UlFHz... while trying to read https://farmersalmanac.com/full-moon-... , wade through email and catch up to GR.

What's it like there? Like the best things and the worst. Is it much dependent on tourist industry? Are the people friendly? Popular foods? Are you Fiji born and raised?
Perri,Yes I'm Fijian born, Muslim, (never been outside of Fiji). The islands (mostly small islands such as Castaway) are like paradise. You must have watched the Tom Hanks movie 'Cast Away' which was shot on the island. Seas and beaches in the sunny wheather is always awesome. Yes, we, the people in Fiji are friendly (not everyone though😊) The overall lifestyle in Fiji is awesome... just not the city life I guess. The bad about Fiji is the roads, poverty level (Fiji's still developing economically) and sudden wheather changes since it's tropical. Popular foods (if you ever come to fiji, you must try) is that cooked using traditional earth ovens (called lovo). We usually put various root crops, some chicken, beaf, mutton and other stuff... it takes several hours to cook. Also almost anything with coconut cream is delicious for e.g. with daruka or fish (fish-in-lolo).
Fiji's economy is mostly dependant on tourism, yes, and agriculture that includes fish and sugar industries etc.
