Fijian

fijians – hospitable but in great need for procrastination gene extraction. the warmth they shower you with when you reach their sh-r-s is genuine. they are unrivaled in terms of their smiles but behind this lurks grand-daddies who were still cannibals just 200 years ago so don’t push it with them – especially when on a boat. they can be crushingly sweet if you impress them with your manners but watch out for prolonged but gentle shaking: they are p-ssed off my friend. there is only one thing that paralyses them to the point of non-function: farting out loud in church: they must not be seen ‘laughing’ in church. rugby is a national p-ssion, the players are also p-ssionately linked to tyson’s tendency to bite ears. without any sense of time, to meet them at 2pm, one must suggest a midday meeting time unless you like waiting for two hours and then not get an explanation: c’est normal: this is called ‘fiji time’. being former british subjects, their laws are still penal, you can still be charged with sodomy but a crowd favourite/drawer is the smattering of gay shows all year around. do not ask for directions, there is a national response: over there. do not be offended by the questions: it is a national obsession. they will speak correct english if they have to otherwise, one needs to listen well to get the general drift of the fij-lish.
