 Australia praises Constitution
She stated that by social justice, "we mean the recognition of the right of every one of us, and of the communities in which we live, to live our lives according to our own customs and our own beliefs so long as these do not impinge on the rights of others to do the same.
In her speech Boyd condemned the ethnic Indians of Fiji for speaking "disparagingly" of the values of others.
The development of Fiji and the happiness of its citizens requires respect and accommodation both for communalism and for the right of the individual, for efforts which enhance the community as a whole and for efforts which enhance the development of the individuals who make it up."

Fiji's mainland, Viti Levu, is the "real" Fiji, where much of the country's history has unfolded and the bulk of the Fijian people live out their lives.

Fiji's geographic position makes it the hub of transport for the entire South Pacific, and Nadi is the region's most important international airport, with long-haul services to points all around the Pacific Rim.

 Peace Corps Online June 14, 2003 - College of Micronesia: Culture Shock — Causes & Symptoms by a Fiji RPCV
Culture shock is the term used to denote the anxiety and stress reactions that some people experience when they live in a cultural and linguistic environment that is significantly different from their own.
Fiji and Samoa have an abundant variety of foods which can be found in public markets, restaurants, shops and fast-food stores while Pohnpei and other parts of Micronesia are more limited in the types of food you will find on a regular basis.
Culture shock can be prevented by striving to become more culturally relativistic and flexible in your thinking and behavior, by developing a real enthusiasm for learning about the host culture and by forming real intercultural relationships.
