Am I in Suva???????


My goodness...am I in San Francisco...are you sure...for a moment I thought this was China town in San Jose, California. Yeah right, wailei I remember that taxi driver that just went past...cava jiko mada...o Suva la qo.
Some 2 hours earliar I was on the same street with my partner in crime JQ, checking out some late lunch or maybe early dinner, I remember walking into the same familiar street, saw the same people. The boys in their bright red shirt at the gas station, same three boys on the corner of Dolphinns calling out , shine!...boso shine...sega set....fifty cents...raica kua mada na va jiko qori, ni da va jiko qo.
Got to our favourite fish and chips spot, got our chow, qai stroll back to the station.

Like I said now I'm back on the same street, boy some change took place here. How come, the transition was so sudden, I missed it, but check this out...the buildings is still the same, the paint is the same, the same cars, same road...I made a big mistake by not listening to JQ...after buying the fish and chips..yeah I paid for it, nothing new , this fella can be a mosquitoe but the good thing about this mosquito, it's a kachi one not one of those barrawala ones that empty your pockets and take your clothes off too. Well JQ wanted to sit at Dolphins and chow but I insisted on coming back to the office.
Wow...now I remember what took place here, its amazing what the blanket of darkeness can do to the innocent city of Suva..the lights...the dress code...the language both in body and words, indeed night is life...thats the change.
Where did all these tight eyes ladies from Asia come from, they appeared out of nowhere and all those tiny Asian men ...8 of them getting off a taxi that is suppose to carry only 4 normal people. Isa...my beloved Victoria Parade...a virgin no more...I better go they might change me too.

NITE TIME B.B.Q IS REALLY UNIQUE!!!

If there is one dish that will stand out or be known about SUVA city it will simply be BBQ. If you haven't tasted the best BBQ around then come to SUVA city beside the great Carnegie Library or Suva city Library their you'll find the RED STALL. This is not just any BBQ, this is THE bbq. There was once a compliment about the service at RED STALL, even your hunger is satisfied with the style! yes..style of cooking!!!

Oppss! guys I did write this post last two weeks 22/05 and I have to complete it today 5/06 and guess what City council has shifted the BBQ site to the handicraft center! just to let you know.

Well, back to the hotspot...for only $5 bbq you get 4 piece of cassava, sausage, chops, eggs and the ever famous salad which makes it look like a serve of chop suey!

STRANGE........VERY STRANGE!!!

On Saturday April 24, I was disturbed by the sound of footsteps, not stepping but running! With curiosity I focus my attention to where it's coming from. Leading the race was one of those hot chicks with the crew behind while the siren and police vehicle following behind. Another police vehicle was coming from the other way trapping these beauties. I was thinking to myself why the police a tracking them down is it because they are beautiful?

But I wipe the blur from my eyes and could see more clearly that these beautiful girls were guys! PROSTITUTES... No wonder...!!!

They were loaded to one of the police trucks when the cops caught up with them near the RANCH nite club. The safe thing is that they are in the hands of the police and the unsafe thing whatever happens to them in police custody is NO BODIES BUSINESS!!!

I think the police a doing a good job, becauce it's always an eye sore and I think the strategy done by police is more like "Prevention is better than Cure".

The strange thing about it, is that with high heels they still can out run the police......

The other thing is this two couple who were drinking wine with a lively conversation on the doorstep of BAD DOG!!! I mean European couple drinking like Fijians. The wife was sitting on the doorway while the hubby was standing infront of her like they were at their homes....
strange huh! very strange.........

well that's the LIFE in Suva at night..........

I DIDN'T KNOW NIGHT WAS MEANT FOR US HUMANS...

Things have really changed alot for us I mean humans...in those day they use to say that some towns in Fiji were like a ghost town but that is not true anymore because when you come out at night in town or our suva city now you will certainly see life that was suppose to be seen during the day.

Shops a openning, resturate are enjoying it, taxi a reaping the benefits, minibus (those without the LM number plate) are running in all direction, even bean cart operates at those hours and people are piling up in numbers.

Tourist and wanna be's are looking good during these hours and also the bus stops (around NLTB building and the Gvernment buildings) and dark spot are busy though no bus company operates around that time...well that's the life side of the night in Suva.

Though the site is new to some, surprising and surrounded with different colors atleast now I understand why the well known scientist said that one of the law of nature is "Survival of the fittest". Because we (human) can also adpt at night I mean better than in the day!!!!
