What is “Fiji Time” exactly? Well, it is very complicated yet very simple. When you are in Fiji, it is a sure thing indeed that you will eventually experience Fiji Time. To sum it up it means the time to chill – don’t worry, take your time, relax, breathe, live and accept things as they are. When you are sitting staring into space and someone asks what you are doing that night – which staring into space is all you are doing, you say you are going to live on Fiji Time. When you go to catch a bus or even take a walk to the beach, you do it on Fiji Time. There are no schedules here, it just happens when people do it – on Fiji Time. When you sit in a circle and drink kava, you are doing it on Fiji Time. Even the crabs in your races run on Fiji Time. The ferry to another island also runs on Fiji Time – which is tricky when you are traveling with the English because then you have to calculate Fiji Time and add tea time to it. It can sometimes get complicated because your Fiji Time may be different from other people’s Fiji Time. But there are no worries on Fiji Time. You take it as it comes and deal with it as it happens, with openness and clarity, no matter how crazy it seems. For on Fiji Time, if you in fact do need a schedule, you will have to ask 10 people and take an average of the responses – that is Fiji Time. Nothing really matters and not many things are a bother, because in Fiji, it is exactly that – nothing really matters and not many things are a bother.
