Marist 7's

Today we all headed over to the nearby national stadium to go watch the rugby tournament going on there, the Marist 7's. It was kind of an all day ordeal, and there were teams playing in the stadium itself as well as on 4 or 5 fields beside it. We were pretty much surrounded by massive rugby players everywhere. Teams came from New Zealand, Australia, and I'm sure other countries in the South Pacific - apparently one of the New Zealand teams forfeited a match because it was too hot to play. Since we all got sunburnt and sweated a lot just watching I can see the heat being an issue.

I've never watched rugby before, so I spent the day trying to figure out the rules (pretty much by pestering the boys with questions) and I think I like rugby a lot. Hopefully we'll get to watch more of it over the next few months. Afterwards we went to the student bar and hung out for a while, then I came home and passed out pretty soundly.


The two major Fiji beers that I've had so far - I haven't tried Vonu yet but I'm hoping to soon because it's supposed to be good. So far I think bitter's my favorite, but I need to be adventurous and try some others.
