Merry Christmas Fiji!
Picture of the Week – Santa Fiji stlye
December is a Busy Month. As well as a Christmas one :)
What can I say, Fiji Time certainly has its nefarious grip on us all. Tourists and all.
I would be wrong in saying that December has been a quiet month, since the number of posts has slowed down to a crawl. Quite the opposite in-fact. While work has been keeping me on my toes and away from slumberland, stuff’s being a-happening here in Fiji …
1) Digital Fiji pointed out that the eye in the sky NORAD has tracked Santa flying over Fiji. I guess the fact that me not receiving my Christmas wish list in the mailbox means that I wasn’t as good a boy as I had previously thought.
2) The Fiji Times is going to continue slave-driving/printing their paper into Christmas day! A tradition that was kept for 138 years will be broken due to promises of appearing on Santa’s good list for anyone working overtime. I wish I worked there.
3) Fiji had a hurricane. Viti Levu is spared the bedlam because of the opening of the new MHCC in the capital. Vanua Levu applies for a Wal Mart license.
4) The Methodist Church in Labasa bans kava and smoking during this festive season. Babasiga notes that after Christmas, it’s back to ‘normal’. Indeed.
5) I made a post awhile ago about how a local blog war is sure to start up, with the outcome pretty much predictable. Well, it looks like one is starting up, and with this particular tension, company reputation is at stake. Oceanic gets the ball rolling against fellow competitor Webmedia in an open letter over taking someone else’s work and “…passed it off as your own…” This is going to be interesting…
So, it is with slow and deliberately clumsy fingers on the keyboard that I wish you all, a very merry Christmas, and here’s hoping that you’ll stave off the effects of alcohol to make it to the new year celebration.
How’s your Christmas going so far?
Its that time of the year folks…Poll Time!

Christmas means a lot of things to a lot of people, and we here at Paradise Not Found: Abort, Retry, Fail (henceforth referred to as PNFARF…or maybe just ‘this blog’) would like to know whats in that events book of yours.
There’s a poll on the right side of the blog, just below the clicky section, and it is here that you’ll let us know whats going on. Whether it be an alcohol-induced booze session, a day at the shops in town, heck, winter in New York, let us know!
PS: If we’re missing an answer, or you’ve got more to say about said upcoming festival, leave a comment. I heard leaving comments here saves a turtle. Not sure about Nemo though…
