About Fiji Local Vibe – actually have a good wave-
sharing vibe, catch a wave, go to the end of the line and wait your turn
Cost of Living – to stay in Tavarua, it cost a pretty penny, but worth the price for the 10 on the Perfect-o-Meter; but there are cheaper places to stay on the main island
Infrastructure – Tourism is controlled by the gov.t, Tavarua only will allow 36 visitors on the island; those 36 pay almost $400 a day for their stay. Tourism law constantly debated there
