Ways to kill time on a tropical island

Can i come?

I might go to Fiji next year on the way back from my travels

Take a camera and get loads of pictures. I'm sure once you're there you'll find plenty to do, and won't be bored at all.

Go meet a Fijian lady and have mad Fijian sex until you have to come home.

Workout and meditate.

mp3 + solar charger to fill some time
Try and learn a local skill - e.g. palm weaving or plam tree climbing- locals will help and laugh at you ;-)

plan a fitness program so you have an hour or two of beach running /swimming
see if you can spearfish for dinner and cook it in a traditional fire pit
Can you light fire using friction only

If you have the time theirs loads to try

I'd probably take some drawing/painting materials, maybe do some wood carving too. And I'd do some snorkelling and catch some fish to cook (maybe take some spices).

Draw phallic shapes in the sand for passing planes to see.

Take a laptop and a lot of fully charged spare batteries. That should keep you going for a while.

Bung on some porn dvds and watch them in the sun

You have been here for a year now and still you have to ask? Most people pick it up within a week.

Edit: I am sure there are some mad trippin' plants on that island too, there always are, to stop the natives from going insane.

go look for "the others".

Wander around in a Dharma T-shirt carrying a big leash, and ask everyone if they have seen a polar bear.

The problem is the 'chief' is a proper tribal chappie, I imagine he has spears and stuff.

Learn about the tribe then. Ask if there's someone who can show you the tribe's beliefs and customs. If you're sincere I'm sure they'll be happy to fill you in. You'll never be short of anecdotes for parties after that.

cause this forum is 95% male?

Other ways to kill time:
1) Bring loads of women over with you and have a naked volley ball session
2) Bring drugs and get high
3) Bring a iPod with a solar charger
4) Skinny dip in the sea
5) Make a big shelter
6) Make a big S.O.S sign

Arrive at island.
Get woman/women.
Hit it for duration of time spent there.
Eventually go home.
Not need for sex for another year.
