Bula!


Bula! That's the standard hearty Fijian greeting that makes you feel welcome and happy! The literal translation is "life" and is a shortened version meaning "to your good health". "Bula" shows up everywhere - on beer mugs, t-shirts, signs. It has become the country's slogan for tourism and it's such a warm and inviting word, so easy to say and infectious. Every country should have a word like "BULA"!
