My Horrible Experience In Fiji island by Andrew3(m): 9:58am On Jun 23, 2013
This is meant to serve as a warning to anyone planning on a vacation trip to Fiji Island.
I decided to spend my 2 month vacation somewhere adventurous and guess what? I asked my travel
Agent to arrange a trip to this much talked about Island. First I must state that Fiji
has so many Indians or Indian like people with selfish and archaic behavior. angry

After spending so much with much stress, I ended up disappointed. My phones developed legs
and vanished from my hotel room. (Raffles Gateway hotel at Nadi) angry My purse got snatch
while I was walking out late night with all my credit cards and id cards in it. angry
I spend 5 days in a hospital as a result of food poisoning. angry (my long throat though)

The original Fijians are friendly people except for the Indians who are rude and rapacious. angry
The lugubrious aspect of it was my last money picked from my pocket in a local bureau de change
around the beach.

I want to warn anyone travelling to Fiji to be like conscious of these facts;
Never keep late night.
Don't expect to buy anything on Sundays.
Never expect to get help from anyone.
Don't taste any food you see.
Do not depend on credit card use. angry angry angry

It is regrettable that you had to pass through all these. But how could all these bad things happen to you alone, are you so careless as to be this vulnerable to all sort of every misfortune?
By the way, what has the Republic Of Ireland got to do with Fiji?

hahaha I never intended spending my two months there. just wanted not to be in a haste to leave when am there, as
I was given 2 months in my office. You don't wanna know my similar experience in naija in the previous years.
I had actually thought it was a place I could move freely, claiming tourist grin and chasing every chase-able things. wink

@Post

Sorry for the inconveniences you faced. This is why I am picky about where I travel to especially if it is on vacation. I always say it is a people who make a country and not the beautiful beaches, roads, houses etc. Before I head to any country, the first thing I always want to find out is how friendly are the people towards foreigners. If the country I am heading to is a non-black country, then I want to know how friendly the people are towards black foreigners because it will be very unfortunate to go a place, spend all that money and not enjoy the vacation. Next time, try and be more careful when selecting where to vacation. All the best!

There is an air Fiji flight direct from Dublin Int. airport.
They seem to survive on tourism. The island is surrounded by
beaches that attract so much tourism.

yes I met my ibo brother there.

unfortunate experience really and well shared, at least now we know if we go there and dont wana regret, we shouldn't keep late nights, always not keep our valuables carelessly, Do not taste foods anyhow then we are good.
My moral lesson from your post.
