Bula guys,
On Tuesday 13-11-2012 the ‘huge’ celebration of Diwali took place. This day was also a public holiday. This day I woke up later, than I do normal. Then I got ready. After this I went to the house of one of our neighbours. I celebrated their Diwali, it’s a celebration of the god of the lights for in the dark. (Monday-Tuesday & Tuesday-Wednesday are the darkest nights here in Fiji). This day they eat a lot of sweets and pray a bit. But it is more a celebration of being with the family. It kind of is the new year for the Indians. When I came home after a few houses, where I celebrated. I lighted up a bit of fireworks. For example see the picture I took.
Moce,
Joëlle Glerum
Ps. Next story will about my weekend trip to Tavewa.
