L was living in Fiji come to Australia in 2003 l visit Fiji 4 times and hope fully l go to Fiji again in 2026 love your videos can't forget our beautiful Fiji island l was very sad when l left Fiji thank you god bless you all guys
After many years of struggle to visit Fiji, finally visited the country. Fiji is a fantastic country, people are friendly and life is always perfect. Its a nice country with lots of tourists every day from all of the world. I spend one week in Nadi and planning to return in 2024 again.
my uncle used to work for P&0 Orient lines back in the early to mid 70's. I remember him taking to the wharf to see the SS Oriana and the hauntingly sad song of Isa Lei as the boat pulled away. My other uncle had a restaurant below in the Lilac theater building and later moved up a floor to run a snacks and refreshments kiosk for the theater. There was a comic store right across the street from the Lilac.I remember watching Jaws at the Lilac and King Kong at the Regal a year later. I remember redeeming Milo drink labels to watch movies at the Phoenix.
Olden Air Pacific premises that you used to work in as the aircraft engineer before migrated to USA right Now mostly they trying to sell those places to those who want to buy and do whatever they want businesses or apartments
When I was a kid Harbour Centre used to be where Millers was situated back in the sixties until early the early 70s. It was a huge building selling a lot of merchandise, agriculture etc.
Kem cho, the Oriana got me 👍, the hotel used to be of Chagan Mama and his son Tarun. I left Fiji back in 2000 and the details you have mentioned are all still very fresh in my mind. 🙏
BSP came much later it is Bank of South Pacific they just bought the Bankrupt NBF National Bank of Fiji and bankruptcy Colonial Bank buildings and operating from there in reality Some buildings resold again their branches Fiji Islands especially Viti Levu many buying and reselling going on in nearly all sectors of the economy Ministerial portfolios included after the 2006 coup from 2006 to 2022 It helped though make those cities towns have more newer developments and employment generations kinda
The place used to be BNZ Bank of New Zealand back in 80s and they sold the place Bank of New Zealand BNZ and NBF National Bank of Fiji was there with other shops After that the place was bulldozed after 2006 coup and they started building that Tappoo City using loan from FNPF big commotion in Suva City that year as workers said they give loans from FNPF using workers money in millions yet when workers wanted to do partial withdrawal they did not get it easily It was a chaotic financial moves going on LIKE THEY TRIED TO MAKE FIJI ISLANDS BANKRUPT A LOT
The Air Pacific pilots that perished 1999 you might know them well they always fly from Nausori every morning first flight at dawn Mr Galuinadi his wife or fiance was Fiji Netball rep Seforosa Muanivai Wing Attack or Wing Defence Nabua kid Seforosa she was just crying crying that day
Areh tum nahi jantah Umariah?????????? The well known Suva Mayor who good person because he used the SCC MONEY properly paid by Suva City residents on an yearly basis SCC is Suva City Council Okay good keep posting videos of your travels Fiji Islands and other countries your camera lenses great

Yep the olden Terry Walk Fish and Chips of 60s 70s 80s 90s still there some fish and chips cafes and restaurants and shops Thanks for your videos God bless always guys
I agree, Tapoo City building design is absolutely atrocious. That said, the inside is a multi-level shopping plaza with lots of name brand retail like Nike and Chanel Dior. There is also a decent food court on the top floor. It is quite a nice mall actually despite the ugly exterior.
Nope Delailasakau Air Pacific plane crash from Nausori to Nadi that was in 1999 everybody perished no survivors we were teaching at Jasper Williams High School that year remembered it because it was the year two of us decided to join Air Pacific as flight attendants after that crash hell no Anyways it was a sad day for Fiji islands indeed all perished no survivors including both pilots The plane engines was sabotaged they said that night by someone who entered the hangar sain he was aircraft engineer doing last checks
Old Post Office? It is FINTEL Fijis olden Telephone Exchange building Post office still at same building but have gone through many renovations and shops renting there many businesses like Pharmacy Internet cafe they did that to get more revenue The Suva Post office is smaller nowadays the inside and it has a book shop together with it No more the huge Post office they did that after 2006 coup as they saw it gets more revenue when they rented it out More money face nowadays from after 2000 and 2006 coups
You so true the design of Tappoo City high rise looks ugly because it is was supposed to look like the ⛵ sails of Takia Drua Double Hull Canoe as he is from Nadroga Navosa Province Sugar cane fileds maybe he wants to do mixture design It is just like any high rise shopping mall where they sell bought stuffs they buy and resell a lot products from other countries They rented out office spaces to businesses or anyone who wants to do business selling products or services like any malls anywhere in Fiji Islands and other world countries Same type of thing
So true the olden Sharon Brothers Lilac main Lilac Mini movie theaters and Phoenix main and mini both in Suva City CBD now Lilac is a Church place for All Nation Church that came after 2000 coup they there nowadays As for RB Suva maybe still there the supermarket they now located opposite the Suva market where MH supermarket used to be next to Burns Phillip Departmental shop now it is Courts there You see many changes as well 2023 2024 Demolition and rebuilding new designs after 2006 coup just following other countries CBD really nothing new in the Demographic Transition Model stages
They never found that aircraft engineer again as it was said it was not someone who worked in Air Pacific at all or Air Terminal services an outsider no records of the person name in the logs at all weird indeed
Yep Harbour Centre still there The olden Ice cream Parlour no more there now JR White Sports Shop there Inside you have the famous KFC of the 80s no more KFC in Fiji Islands after 2006 coup there was a big fight a Mr Smith was humping some women working there and he went and complained they serving bad food and all after 2006 coup like it was a stupid men full of climbing issues time They went to the extent of closing ICON Fastfood franchises because of heartbrokenness

It helped though make those cities towns have more newer developments and employment generations kinda
The place used to be BNZ Bank of New Zealand back in 80s and they sold the place Bank of New Zealand BNZ and NBF National Bank of Fiji was there with other shops
After that the place was bulldozed after 2006 coup and they started building that Tappoo City using loan from FNPF big commotion in Suva City that year as workers said they give loans from FNPF using workers money in millions yet when workers wanted to do partial withdrawal they did not get it easily
It was a chaotic financial moves going on LIKE THEY TRIED TO MAKE FIJI ISLANDS BANKRUPT A LOT
