World Suicide Prevention Day
Saturday was World Suicide Prevention Day 2006 and a big march was organised early in the morning through the centre of Suva. There was a good vibe amongst the marchers and the marching band did a good job of leading the way. There were some pretty 'special' banners being waved around. It must be a nightmare trying to organise something like that here in Fiji, so all in all I think it went well (Fiji style), however, I kind of got the impression that we were more of a curiosity than anything else though. The last few days have also seen the arrival of 'summer', and I think the brutal rise in temperatures is going to make life a lot tougher. Luckily so far we have had a beautiful run of nice sunny weather but the heat is never much fun when watching TV makes you sweat.

Hi Jeremy.
Somehow bumped into your blog. It's great to read about life in Suva from your point of view. A bit more authentic than the two of us over here in Oz trying to piece together the truth about what's happening in Fiji these days!
We enjoyed taking part in In the Loop that day, despite my crazy attack of claustrophobia when I saw the dark cave of a studio!
