Fiji Fun Facts:

• Fiji isn't a island; it's a chain of over 330 islands. The largest is Viti Levu (literally, "big Fiji"), which contains the towns of Nadi, Lautoka, and Suva.
• The population here mainly consists of native Fijians and Indo-Fijians. The native Fijians are some of the friendiest, most laid-back people you can imagine, which is ironic because up until the late 1800s they practiced cannibalism. The Indo-Fijians are descended from indentured servants brought here from India in colonial times, which is ironic because they now own most of the businesses in Fiji.
• Popular programs on Fijian TV: soap operas, Malcolm in the Middle, Smallville. On Fijian radio: UB40, UB40, and UB40. Also the Crazy Frog (no!) and Coldplay.
• At night, pink geckos come out and climb over the ceilings and walls of all the buildings here. They chase each other around, chirping like birds. If you've never heard a lizard chirp before, it's pretty funny.
