What Really Unites FIJI???

This is in response to Wilson’s post, “A Sweet-Bitter Victory at the Wellington Sevens“. He mentions that Sevens Rugby (or even Fifteens Rugby for that matter) unites the people here in FIJI.

I do not dispute this fact but there is another uniting factor that Wilson has failed to mention, and this is the fast growing, and the most popular thing to hit our shores (since the missionaries)… and this is……..(drum roll)…… wait for it…….. wait for it……(drum roll)…

Hi5


Yes people, “Hi5” is a disease that is spreading fast around the country.

Every single person in this country is connected… from the children of the highest ranking officials in this country, to the common people on the street.

It is on “Hi5” that you will discover every single person that is living or has lived in FIJI. From the girls who like to talk with an accent but have lived in FIJI their entire life, to the weirdo who’d follow you around the street (but that’s another story) XD

It scares me at times to discover how we’re all “connected”. The way things are heading, there may come a day where those who do not have a “Hi5” profile, will not truly be considered to be from FIJI

XD
