CONTAGION

This evening I sat with the Fijian men as they played songs while the tourists enjoyed their dinner. After some time I began to feel a sense of joy and contentment that I had not felt in a long, long, very long time.

I found that the Fijian spirit of life, however simple, was a predominant feature of their everyday life. I cannot recall a single day that I did not hear peals of laughter ringing from the Fijians. Whether they work in a lovely tropical resort such as Octopus Resort or they work as wheel barrow boys, they seem to have a joy of life that I have found pleasantly contagious.

I am really going to have a hard time leaving Fiji!
