Planting Cassava in the forest
"My bus rides gave me a view of the countryside, and the local villages
which line the road. Most of the villages seemed quite poor. The houses
are just made of corrugated tin, with here and there a traditional cottage
called a bure, made of plant fibres. I wondered whether the Indians all
lived in the towns, as I only noticed Fijians in the villages. Here and
there are small plantations of cassava and other vegetables, but there
is not much cultivation."
