Please remember to dress modestly when visiting outside of your resort. For the ladies, do not wear shorts and make sure to cover your shoulders in some manner (no halter or bikini tops). It is always handy to carry a sulu (sarong) with you to cover up. Please do not wear hats or touch anyone's head. These things are taken as a sign of disrespect. And please speak softly as raised voices are interpreted as a sign of anger. Fijians are known as some of the friendliest people in the world. Respect for the Fijian customs and traditions will add a satisfying dimension to your visit and make you a welcome guest in their villages and homes.
Fijian words for the day:

English Fijian (pronunciation)
Goodbye Ni Sa Moce (nee sa mothey)
Village Koro (rhymes with toro)
