FIJI - Young Indian girl dressed in traditional costumes

My second stamp card from Fiji, thanks to Veena for the awesome card.  This card shows an old photo of young indian girl in traditional costumes. Fiji was colonised by the British and as a result, Indians were bought over an indentured laborers to work the sugar cane fields. According to Wiki, Indian descent make up to 40% of Fiji population.

The stamp was issued in 2008, 1 of 4 celebrates 80th Anniversary of Southern Cross.

FIJI - Bure (Village House)

Not much card in the mailbox these days, been a slow month and I have not sent out much either. I have been busy at work and it's Ramadan/fasting month so time are more spend with family.

And today, one awesome card from Fiji arrived in my mailbox! It's my first written and stamp card from the islands. Thanks to Lui for helping out.

The writing on the back of the postcard say:  This traditional Fijian home is constructed almost entirely from materials originating from the coconut palm.  While the use of man-made materials is becoming more predominant, these traditional structures are still a common sight along Fiji's roadside villages.

The stamp was issued in 2015 in set of 4 stamps depict Endangered Wildlife - Flying Fox.  All 4 stamps bear the logo of Nature Fiji.
