Roleplaying: Traditionally, each Fijian villager is born into a certain role in the family unit or Tokatoka. Various heads of the family will administer and lead the family unit within the village community. Each chief of the village will in turn lead the people to fulfill their role to the Vanua (the village).
Say “Bula” to everyone you meet: The Fijian greeting is genuinely used so widely on the island by locals and tourists alike that it’s almost second nature. Fijians are also naturally friendly, so many will greet you with a loud ‘bula’ to ask how you are enjoying your time on the islands and what you plan to do.
Letters from Fiji: Younger guests of the Jean-Michel Cousteau Resort are encouraged to join children of their own age at a local primary school and participate in class for a short time to make new friends and leave with a pen pal.
