Tour In Fiji
TWENTY boys from Waitaki, one of New Zealand’s leading secondary schools, travelled by bus round Viti Levu in a ten days’ visit to Fiji in May. At Suva they were the guests of the Suva Boys’
Grammar School.
To finance the trip, each boy begged, borrowed or earned £NZIOO, of which £BB/18/- went to expenses.
The travellers acquired “bula” shirts, which one of the two masters accompanying the party described as “like beach shirts, only more hideous.”
Most of the “bula” shirt material sold in Fiji comes from Japan. It ranges from designs that are both clever and effective, through varying degrees of American-inspired vul garity, to efforts like an explosion in a paint shop.
