    The GPh was never Govt Buildings. The original gt buildings are the ones across the road. New Govt buildings are further away and not used anymore.

    Fruit bats or Flying Foxes. Government Building was opened in 1939 so its not new. Government Houses the Parliament and the Courts. You first entered the correct Parliament entrance. The other entrance is to the High Courts and court administration offices.

    • @TooMuchLuggage
      @TooMuchLuggage  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      We were amazed with the bats, we never seen anything like that. You know the government building was at noon, but it’s not the original government building, correct?

    • @fjphoto23
      @fjphoto23 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      @TooMuchLuggage It is the original building named "Government Buildings". Prior to that Government administration was in various other buildings, from Levuka (former capital) to Suva but none were named or deemed "Government Buildings"

      It is good to see Saturday they open doing cleaning the cleaners and buildings maintenance crew
      So people just enter go enjoy the sights and sounds
      It was Government Buildings where all Ministries paperwork carried out
      Nowadays Ministeries Departments all over the places Decentralisation is the word

      Yes Suva City is capital city of Fiji islands as we British Colony all British colonies their capital cities is where the Parliament Seats at the main CBD Central Business District
      Yes Government is in Suva City for generations centuries decades because of great port waters most international ships cargo tourists able to enter safely without getting shipwrecked a lot as many fringing reefs
      Also it is on the windward side prevailing winds
      Most British Colonies cities capital city on the windward prevailing wind side

      Indians mostly Girmitiyas brought to Fiji islands for Cotton plantation workers by British Colonizers because India is also British Colony they all Commonwealth countries
      They make up about nearly half of Fiji islands population many have married other races so many mixed blood like the Singhs Kumars Prasad and many others
      Again good to see the American tourists coming back in numbers adventures vacation
