Explore Our Culture, Explore Our World
While change is inevitable and often wished upon, you’d be surprised that in our island home, ‘timelessness’ is considered a gift from above. How we live today is not very different than how our forefathers lived for untold generations before us… and we treasure this.
What to do in Fiji: Suva
While maybe an unexpected spot to stop, the Fijian urban way of life can be observed in the bustling and multicultural capital of Suva. It is known around the world that Fiji is home to some of the nicest and kindest people in the world, so why not visit the city for just that reason? Suva is a less visited tourist spot since getting there takes a couple hours in a bus or an hour’s airplane ride from the main international airport in Nadi. But for our clients interested in seeing the local culture in an urban atmosphere, it’s interesting to check out.

Be Careful on Visa for Airports jn Australia
7:19 AM
Kopi Papua
Today is January 6, 2019 I am at the Denpasar International airport. I arrived here at 20.00 or eight at night and right now I am writing this entry at 23.06
Three hoars gone since I arrived here.
I want supposed to check in at 08.00pm and my plane has already departed for Brisbane at 22.10.
I was refused to check in because the Malindo Air from Denpasar to Brisbane is not issuing my boarding pass.
The counter told me I need to entery visa number for Australia in order to my boarding pass to be printed.
I stepped back, asked the person who bought my ticket. I got two replies. The first one is that it is OK if it is less than 8 hours layover in Australia.
The second answer was a screenshot sent to me saying "no visa required" in the ticketing office website
Of course both did not help....
