    Actually Kilts and Kava is not such an unusual combination. The Fijians wear a sulu as their national costume. There are several photos here :http://www.fiji.gov.fj/uploads/Rt_Sukuna.pdf. I'm not certain, but I think the Fijian Army wears the sulu as part of their ceremonial dress uniform.

    While stationed in the Sinai I had the great pleasure of sharing many bowls of Kava with the Fijians.
