Movie Review

                                                             Movie Review

                                                                Footloose



This film is a romantic comedy by Craig Brewer. The movie was released on 14 October 2011, which is quite recent. Directed by Brewer this movie is about dancing and falling in love. The main stars are Kenny Wormald, Julianne Hough, Dennis Quaid and Andie MacDowell. The cast has a very good way of getting the story across and what the story is trying to show to the audience. It is good to watch with your whole family and the director writes a good plot that suits all people from all ages.


The story is about how a young boy named Ren McCormack (Kenny Wormald) who moves from a big city Boston in to a small town where life is quite different to the life in Boston. One night an accident happen to five teenagers who got killed after a night out in town which change everything in that small town. The local councilmen and Reverend Shaw Moore ( Dennis Quaid) had made the rule that there isn't going to be any more loud music and dancing. Ren stands up to the rule that is laid by the councilmen and in the process he fall in love in the Reverend's daughter Ariel ( Julianne Hough).  The actors are very convincing in this movie because this is what teenagers are going through nowadays.


 The movie to me was very informative and interesting. It is a good movie because I personally feel that you shouldn't be feeling unhappy and you should do whatever you want to do, if it's dancing, singing and playing sport then you should just go for it. I think this movie is good for those fathers who ban their daughter from doing what they want to do what makes them happy. If they continue to do this kind of punishment the outcome of this punishment might be very difficult to handle. I would definitely recommend this movie to people who want to spend time with their family, have a laugh, relax and enjoy movie night.






Visiting the market in Nadi, Fiji


Bula Vinaka!!

 I want to share a special experience of visiting the market in Nadi, Fiji. This town is close to where I'm originally from. This market is situated in the middle of the town center of Nadi in Viti-levu, Fiji. Inside you will find all the things you need, e.g souvenirs, fruit and vegetables, plantation food and traditional Fijian handicraft. 

 











Why is it popular? The reason why this market is so popular is because it's situated in the middle of the town center and it's easy for everyone to see. It's also popular because it has different aspects of Fijian food, culture and tradition in it. With different types of people, color and race you won't be able to miss this market.  It's also close to the beautiful Gayatri Shaktipith Temple that are well known temple for tourists.



What kinds of people go there? All types of people go there. Either you are local, tourist or  from different parts of Fiji you will still reach this market. Age wise you can be a child, teenager, adult and old people you will still want to go and see this market.

It is a good place to spend a day trip because you will get to know and see the types of things you see in this market. You can get there either by car, hotel shuttle and bus. It is very cheap to get on a bus because from my village to go to town:

                                                                    Adults : $4.50 (Bus) 

                                                                   Students: $2.50 (Bus)

 

If you travel on a hotel shuttle its $4.00 for a person including students and adults. You can just walk around the market. You have a lot of things to see and to buy. The most important thing is that you get to buy anything for a very small amount of money and take home a lot of different things. 

 

Cost of :

                   Fruits and Vegetables : Under $10

                  Plantation Food:                                                 

                                             Taro: Bundle - ($5.00) - 6 pieces

                                             Cassava: Bunch - ($5.00) - 6-7 pieces


                                            Kumara: Bunch - ($5.00) - 7 pieces

The most expensive things that you would probably find in the market will be traditional handmade handicrafts which will probably cost about  $100-$300. If you buy a handicraft, it is a good souvenir to bring back with you so you don't miss out on having a little bit of something from where I'm from. 

Accommodation: 

The accommodation is very cheap and very luxurious and overlooks the great areas of Fiji. You can choose from all types of suites. If you prefer to live in a apartments, suites, lodge, dormitory, if you prefer to set up your own tent and there are camping grounds. All of the accommodation is easy, affordable and luxurious.

Food: 

You can get food from the different local takeaway shops which is a 2 minute walk from the markets. You can choose from a wide range of different Fijian food that you like. The food is also cheap and quite nice. 

 For those who don't like to eat Fijian Food then you don't have to worry. In Nadi there is a McDonalds, KFC, Wendys, Burger King  where you can get burgers and fries at a very low price. There is a wide variety of food to choose from all you have to do is bring a lot of money because when you taste the food you will keep wanting more.


  

So if you are thinking of visiting Nadi and have no place to go for a day then you have to look no further. Nadi market is a great place to visit there is a lot of things to buy and you have nothing to lose but a lot of things to gain from visiting the Nadi market.

Thank You !
