"Carving - Yes i have fallen for this." Fiji Tourist Trap Tip by IcemanNZL

One thing to be aware of in Fiji. While your wandering down the street looking for bargins, beware of the odd Fijian who stops and asks your name, before you know it he has pulled out a set of wooden carved knives or boats and etched your name in it and insists you buy them. This will usually only cost you $5-10 Fijian dollars.

Unique Suggestions: If you have this happen to you, i suppose there isnt much to do apart from pay the man and smile as you walk off with your newly acquired knives or boats as the case may be.

I suppose you can say you have a piece of Fiji and a good story to tell your mates when you get home.
