    Ivain bula welcome home
    I’m from California I was in Fiji in 2000. I love the Fijian people. Since I was a black man the local Fijians treated me like family. Everywhere I went the local Fijians were hooking me up left and right, free breakfast free lunch free drinks etc. I was introduced to the Mayor she gave me her card and told me if I have any issues to reach out to hear. Enjoy brother soak up both the cultures Indian and Fijians. Don’t forget to go to a village. Fiji life Bula Vinaka

      In Fijian culture, everyone is treated like family regardless of what country they're from. Same vibes across the pacific islands where family is everything.

    In Fiji, when people stand while there sitting, its treated as being rude. In your case its exceptional because your invited and foreign. Ask first and Film from the outside next time and not inside of that gathering. That vlogging thing is not new to them. They have their own vloggers online as well.Reknown vloggers such as "Mark Wiens" and many others been there and loved it and very respectful as well.A guy from cameroon did come to fiji and was rude big time, making rude comments about our woman. Just be careful.There watching quietly of such people.

      At-P:. Back in the day people used to make homebrew in the same tub as everyone washed in. They would clean the tub before making the brew and as the saying goes the alcohol will kill the germs. Americans have gotten soft now and don't want to drink bathtub brew. But still I agree that there could be a less hands on approach to making drink.

    Ivain I have a question for you. I've noticed just about world wide people don't have a problem eating and drinking after one another. Here in the US you rarely see that happening. I know you have noticed that Americans have a problem with that. When I was a small kid back in the late 60s early 70s we would go to my grand parents house and they had no running water they got their drinking water from a well. They would have a bucket with a dipper in it and everyone would drink from that. I think back to them how I would drink from that same container and now no way I could do it. I think my mother started it because she would never drink after us. She taught us to never drink after anyone. My question is was this something that you noticed right off when you got to the US or is it not as noticeable as I am making it to be?

    • @IvainTures
      @IvainTures  Před 28 dny +2

      I think that you are 100% right. It is something that I noticed right away. I have to tell you I’m not very comfortable with it either. I don’t judge people who do it as it’s just a cultural difference. However, I really don’t like it. 😂

      @@IvainTuresThe way you travel I would imagine that it is tough trying to not come off as being disrespectful when people offer you something from their culture just like that drink you refused during this video. I liked that they did not seem offended. I like these kinds of videos where you take us to where these people live and see them in that environment. Seeing them in a resort environment is like not seeing who they are at all. I appreciate this video.
