Fiji

From the above mentioned website: The Fiji group is comprised of more than 330 islands, ranging from jagged mountain tops jutting up from the ocean, to coral atolls which rise only a few metres above sea level. Few of the islands are inhabited, the rest being true 'desert' islands. Fiji's two largest islands, Viti Levu and Vanua Levu, make up more than 85% of the nation's land. The third largest island of the group is Taveuni, a rugged ridge of mountains rising from the sea, having their steep slopes carpeted with rain forests, giving way to coconut plantations on the north coast. Four smaller groups of islands make up the rest of the country. The Mamanuca's are off the west coast of Viti Levu, while to the north west is the Yasawa chain. The Lomaiviti islands are in the Koro Sea between Vanua Levu and Viti Levu, while to the east and south-east is the Lau group. The island of Rotuma stands alone, about three hundred miles north of Nadi, inhabited mainly by Polynesians.

The people of Rotuma are mainly of Polynesian descent (of Tonga and Samoa); in Kosrae, Micronesia, there is a huge extended family of Rotuman descent who, according to oral history (est. 1830s) , got to Kosrae as a result of a war between Rotumans and Kosraeans. The cause of war was unknown; only two Rotumans survived the battle and were captured; later on married women of royal descent. The point of sharing this story is that eventhough these islands are spread apart thousands of miles, history, cul ure, and traditions still link them together. enjoy

Thanks Aaron, do you live in Fiji? Whereabouts (if you do)?
