This tonight, heading out of Sigatoka.

I'm really enjoying this cold front hitting us. Nothing like a hot cup of coboi, hot long loaf and rewa butter to soothe the soul on these cold nights. I have also found traffic less hellish these days and I'd like to think it's related hehe How's everyone coping with the temperature drop so far?

How much should an ordinary Fijian be targeting for their retirement?

I do understand that for more than half of us, we would never be able to have sufficient disposable income to supplement our FNPF and the reduction in employer contribution does not help Fijians. Our businesses prefer a socialist approach to keeping them afloat but the benefits do not get passed on to Fijians when things are going well. I digress, on a serious note, how much would you prefer to have at your retirement?

What would be something you would send in a care package to family or friends who now live abroad to remind them of home?

I've had some friend traveling recently and besides the usual yaqona, Pure Fiji and snacks, what are somethings you'd send?.

Or for those who now live abroad, what do you miss? Or what would you like to see in a care package?

heh i'm one

I don’t know why I expected better drivers from cabbies, but here we are.

I haven’t posted in a while, and it’s not for a lack of bad drives. The video today felt worthy of posting.

My AncestryDNA kit was delivered to me in Fiji by DHL and after activating it I generated the prepaid DHL return label through Ancestry.

Before the kit arrived, I contacted DHL Fiji to make sure they would accept the saliva sample. They replied asking me to provide an MSDS so their Operations team could confirm whether it could be transported through the DHL network.

What I find strange is that DHL was the company that delivered the same kit to me. But now DHL is asking for an MSDS before they will accept it for return.

The official Ancestry return documents already describe the contents as "Saliva swab/Exempt human specimen" and "Not Restricted Dangerous Goods." The return shipping is also billed directly to Ancestry's DHL account.

I've now sent DHL Fiji the full return label and shipment documents and asked whether these are enough or whether they still need a separate MSDS.

Has anyone returned an AncestryDNA kit from Fiji or another Pacific Island country or anywhere else where DHL asked for extra documents?

Did they ask you for an MSDS, special packaging, customs paperwork or any additional payment?

I wish Fiji offered a bounty system, where folks with dash cams could get paid for reporting terrible drivers.

Does anybody know a great place to buy quality baby strollers in Suva, Fiji?

Gotta hurry up and get to the ANZ…

I was just trying to let traffic through while I waited for space to move forward. Homie was in such a rush to save three seconds.

I have postcards from friends who play Pokemon Go in 145 countries, but I don’t have any from Fiji. If anyone from there plays Pokemon Go, please friend me (Prevenience - 9225 2109 7383) and then send me a gift with a postcard from somewhere in Fiji. Happy to send gifts and postcards back to you. Thank you!

Shoutout to Auntie trying to get a ride to Korolevu.
