Last week my parents took my visiting cousins from Taiwan and I to an island, one of the hundreds that make up the Republic of Fiji. There was one tiny village on the island, about 14 or 15 houses. I love Fijian houses and their bright colors, so I took pictures of the windows from this village as an example. The village has no school (children have to enter boarding school even for elementary on the mainland) and makes most of its living by baking coconuts in the sun and drying them for the oil. There's a nearby island that is almost completely inhabited by women who work for Bumble Bee Tuna, interestingly enough. And another that is currently (?) hosting Nicole Kidman and husband for thousands of dollars a night.
