University of the South Pacific 2005 Open Day, Suva

The 2005 USP Laucala Open Day was one the most interesting times on campus, where the University shows unique self to the world. The uniqueness of this university derives not from the courses or programs that it offered but on the many different cultures that lived and study together on one campus. Solomon Islands is one the unique culture that puts on its shows and frankly, the Solomon Islands students have something to be proud of, their cultural diversity and the oneness that they show on stage, the sounds of the custom dances have brought one back to the very shores of the "Hapi Isles" and have brought Suva to a stand still, both the girls and boys have put on a brilliant performance with the girls having some cultural exchange students getting a real tasted of what our culture is.
