Well, Fiji just can’t seem to get it right. We lost last week in the Hong Kong Sevens, rendering my post about Earth Hour vs Hong Kong Sevens basically useless, and this week, we seemed to have improved, giving New Zealand a scare when we were leading the game in the second half, but due to the most lamest of lame tackling I’ve seen, a scare was all we gave them.

There’s talk of the national rugby team coming back to Fiji and receiving a hiding from anyone who cares to give it. And the line seems to be growing.

Earth Hour: Meg celebrates Earth Hour in style! Treasure Island does its part to protect the earth, and the hour is filled with candle lights, lamps, and an enthusiastic, live and unplugged band to keep guests happy. Oh, and more great night photography.

Uplifting Women of Fiji: Wendy of Babasiga showcases a few worthy non-profit projects being run in Fiji, one of them being Uplift Fiji, where they supply second-hand bras to the women in the rural areas of Fiji. Donations of all kinds follow, and its heart-warming to see all these goods being donated and handed to those who need it greatly. A worthy read.

Yellow Feather Duster to the Rescue!: cieart gets creative! Collage craft pieces aplenty in this post, and its quite the collection.

Quien No Ilora por amor: Besides making my head sore with the spanish title, Freelance45 manages to get both philosophical as well as catch up with a good friend over some really expensive korean food, and ending up doing an impromptu review of korean food. “Word to the wise: If it looks like grass….it probably tastes like grass too“

Let’s have a Protest March – Virtually – Flowing on from So Kon Po: This is interesting. The anonymous folks at Intelligentsiya have come up with an ingenious way of protesting the current regime by organising a virtual protest march. Yes, I know I promised this blog neutrality when it comes to politics, but this is an interesting concept. I’m mighty curious to see what the outcome of this initiative will be.

Central Cuisine: After eating there for awhile, I noticed something about the food though I couldn’t quite put a finger on it. After reading Lunch In Suva’s review of the restaurant, I realized then what was it. Follow the link to see their consensus on the ‘macdonalds’ of chinese food here in Suva.

The Wonders of Steelwool: Bellerophontes finds out just how effective good ol’ steelwool is, and does a little impromptu spring cleaning on his pots and pans collection. Oh, and he gets his hands on the Ballu K & Agnes B. Sex Tape. Interesting…

Digital Talanoa: Customer Services II: This is fun. Jonathan, the mighty crusader for all services good and efficient compares Customer Service between Amazon.com and a local retailer who near puts him to the wire with their amazingly great (not) and patient (read: can’t wait to get rid of customer) service. 50 brownie points if you can figure out what promotion he’s talking about, and an extra 50 if you pinpoint exactly who was the infamous retailer.

Online Communities: Rizwan takes a closer look at what exactly makes online communities work. Facebook, Hi5, even designer-nightmare-Myspace gets the microscope treatment. How much is too much information in such a network as this?

Una Boliviana en Fiji – Monday, March 24, 2008: Thanks Meg for pointing out this blog! Danica is a Peace Corps volunteer who works as a Youth Health Education Officer up in Savusavu. Her blog is full of wonderful stories about rural life, flying roaches, Halloween-fiji-style, and at times, just plain fun and mayhem. A great read. PS: Any help with the name of the blog translated?
