Probably totally illogical and a generalization but I just don't like the country - their political corruption, their classing of marijuana like heroin, their judicial corruption (Bali bombs vs marijuana importer), the religious intolerance and extremism and a continuing threat to westerners by those religious extremists. Wouldn't go there if you paid me.

All in all - why would one bother with a crap country?

You will enjoy Fiji more. Yes there are divisions amongst the ethinc Fijians and the east Indian Fijians but they mostly get along and a fine holiday can be had without the possibility of getting blown to smithereens by another religious nut case or two.
