Great Local Websites and Writers
Promotion of local websites take the back-seat in local media, probably because the companies having websites have very little to offer online (apart from the rare product price). Here is my interim list of local websites that need mentioning for one reason or the other:
Excellent Websites
The Fiji Times
Fiji Live (Free registration required)
Fiji Village (Subscription based) however radio streams are free!
FM 96 | Navtarang | Viti | Sargam | Legend
ANZ Fiji - Online banking services!!
USP Fiji - SOLS - Its a nice ecosystem of student services! Very user oriented! Students can check grades, print transcripts, register/drop units and many more usually time consuming (now an ease) services!
Air Fiji - Book your flights!
Mediocre Websites
Courts Homecentres - I dont like Courts because they dont cater for locals! How many of use have credit cards! They should introduce a purchasing scheme suitable to majority of locals (ATM cards , kerekere, etc).
White Pages | Yellow Pages - Search features leave a lot to be desired.
Vodafone Fiji - Static content on their pages! They only make it here because of their vmail gateway.
Fiji TV - They have the content but they have such a Web 1.0 look. Wonder who designed their website? Definitely not Oceanic coz those guys have style!
Telecom Fiji - Looks ok, just that they do not offer ANY services online, like checking your bills, configuring your telephone services, etc etc.
Rubbish!
Fiji Sun - Arrrrgh! They use html! Sorry guys but you have very high standards set by your rival, so naturally we expect the same from you!
Bondwell - Its dead.
Yes, yes, I know there are many more local websites, buts abiddidy abididdidy Thats all Folks!

Self-Mummifying Suicidal Monks of Japan
I found this article amazing! Why would anyone want to do this? Read on and you will understand:
Scattered throughout Northern Japan are two dozen mummified Japanese monks known as Sokushinbutsu. Followers of Shugendô, an ancient form of Buddhism, the monks died in the ultimate act of self-denial.
For three years the priests would eat a special diet consisting only of nuts
and seeds, while taking part in a regimen of rigorous physical activity that stripped them of their body fat. They then ate only bark and roots for another three years and began drinking a poisonous tea made from the sap of the Urushi tree, normally used to lacquer bowls. This caused vomiting and a rapid loss of bodily fluids, and most importantly, it killed off any maggots that might cause the body to decay after death.
Finally, a self-mummifying monk would lock himself in a stone tomb barely larger than his body, where he would not move from the lotus position. His only connection to the outside world was an air tube and a bell. Each day he rang a bell to let those outside know that he was still alive. When the bell stopped ringing, the tube was removed and the tomb sealed.
Ultimate form of sacrifice for? Self-purification? Afterlife? Amazing isnt it?
