Just a day after the Tropical Cyclone Mal period. Stepping outside, people are warmly greeted by the familiar sunny weather known to the Western side of the Fiji Islands.

The Ba Bus Stand is crowded with people wanting to travel to Tavua, Rakiraki, Lautoka City and beyond.

One old lady said, "I'm waiting for the bus to go to Tavua for a funeral today. The funeral is at 1 o'clock. The Express bus is better, it can get me to Tavua faster."

A family also waiting for their bus can be seen opening a newly purchased cellphone and SIM Card.

Small businesses and the market municipal are bustling, as vendors welcome interested buyers.
