Fiji

Bula, fiji is my country it is located in oceania. It has a population of 898,760 people, it has 330 islands and they are all populated.

The 3 official languages are Fijian English and Fiji Hindi. Over half of Fiji's islands do not have access to clean water, which is crazy given the fact that Fiji's main export is water.

Vinaka is how you say thanks in Fijian, nia sa bula means how are you, and I am happy today is au maru. Whales teeth are highly priced in Fiji and they are given for marriage or an apology.

Moce (that means goodbye!)
