PAYG not that cheap in the UK any more.


You need a washing machine since all the laundrettes have closed down.

That last is a lie and you are free to wash you clothes in the bath by
hand.

Or wear things for longer between washes.

You need a fridge to stop your food going off and giving you food
poisoning.

Nope, you just buy your food every few days instead.

Few people outside Suva and the main towns in Fiji had fridges
or washing machines. A bit of rough-sawn 6 by 1 timber, rubbed
on a lovo stone to knock off the splinters and a big bar
of wash soap is all you need.

Milk was the tinned, condensed type. You sit it in a
saucer of water to keep the ants and cockroaches out of it.

This is how the US peace corps and VSO volunteers, plus the
locals lived.
