  • I made this promo video of the Suva Fiji area around 1985.
    I think that these were the good days as Suva has changed much since then. Enjoy:)

    I am watching these old clips of Suva hoping to see my father who passed away when I was only 3 years old back in "83"

    The vibe and the energy of being at a Hibiscus float procession in the 90s is something this generation will never understand nor experience. It was something else back then man!! I really miss it

      ...you can't restore a culture without removing other dominant cultures that's taken over first...then everything can be replaced back as normal.
