The Fijian people are lovely - warm, easy to talk to, open and disclosing. Always quick with hello, and when they ask "How are you" they wait for the answer with interest and curiosity. Going to this show felt cheesy but good. We learned a lot about their history, cannibalism, ceremonies and ancient village lifestyle. They were beautiful to watch dancing and the staged fights were dramatic and physical. I had an interesting moment at the end of show when we saw some of the men and women performers leaving. They had looked so beautiful in their native costumes of grass skirts and loin clothes. Now, they went back to their regular lives and everyday garb - oversized t-shirts and baggy shorts, like inner city kids. The luminosity of what seemed such a clear spirit, now dampened with obscuring clothes and modern sentiment.
