2019 was welcomed in rather quietly in the Western Division last night.

The Fiji Times visited a number of normally raging party venues in Nadi and Lautoka and found that the crowd numbers were not what used to be.

Many who spoke to this newspaper said the weather warnings associated with Tropical Depression TD03F may have led to people preparing for rain and winds at home.
