Fijians pride themselves on their hospitality. English is the official language, while Fijian and Hindi are also spoken. Fijians are a modest people, and outside of the resorts, visitors should dress conservatively. There are a few resorts on and around the main island, a handful of guest houses, and scores of island retreats, some of which accommodate only a handful of guests. The capital city of Suva has movie theaters, pubs and a few nightclubs.
