Indo-Fijian Fiji

What a fascinating place Fiji is!  It's a land of beautiful Fijian food, music, language, and dancing.  However, it's also a land of incredible Indian art, music, clothing, language, movies, and FOOD!
Between the years of 1879 and 1916, the British Colonial rulers set up recruiting stations in major cities in India and brought indentured laborers (with 5 year contracts) to work in the sugarcane fields of Fiji.  Others from India came later as free settlers.  As guests here, we get to enjoy the very best of both cultures.  What a great place to be!
