weekend in sigatoka

ok, so i spent the weekend with a with a couple of pc volunteers who have been in fiji for at least one year. most of them had good things to say about their time in fiji but most of them had a lack of actual accomplishments, they were pretty much in survival mode....one girl had been accused of being a witch and pretty much was an outcast in her village.....she is due to finish her service in three weeks and yet claimed that she accomplished next to nothing in her village during her two years of service....most of the male volunteers i have spoken to have had better luck....it seems as though women have a very hard time in fiji.....women pretty much stick to cooking and cleaning up after there husbands....so when female pc volunteers come to fiji they face even more obstacles than male volunteers.
anyway, during my visit we stayed at a sweet resort the first night, we hung out by the pool the next day then went to sigatoka sand dunes national park which was amazing. on our way back to our village we stopped at colo-i-suva which is a rainforest ecopark with waterfalls and swimming holes....we spent a few hours there hiking and swimming, check out some pics on my facebook page.
