at least they don't ... at least they don't need to worry about were to live or paying the mortgage. that is not how we all tongan live every house are diffident like every person are diffident. i agree with kaimabu you had a bad hook-ups & they are not struggling for food if they want food they will go and grow food or fish, the majority of tongan are farmers? and fisherman.
Thank you for your ... Thank you for your reply:)?
about late March or ... about late March or early April? 2011 I believe
I think people ... I think people there are content, it's difficult to say tho, some are very happy, some not so much, it's a difficult way of life there, they live with very little and most struggle for food and money so happiness is hard to achieve in that sense, but they certainly don't have the superficial problems you mentioned that we have? experienced in our lives, it's a simpler,slower way of life, and was a great experience, I wouldn't want to settle there permanently tho.........
Cheers to these ... Cheers to these guys for taking the time to stay and experience life in Tonga. But I have to say that this far from experiencing the real Tongan traditional lifestyle. This is more a modern way of living especially in town which is sad and unhygienic. If you wanted that experience I suggest you go to Uta/the? bush because thats where you would get that amazing Tongan experience and true togetherness.
Sorry but I don't ... Sorry but I don't agree with you. The poor lifestyle that is shown in this video is not because the country is still monarch but more that these people are not hygienic.? Trust me I grew up in Tonga and some people get lazy that they decide that their lives sucks and need to blame those that hard working and especially monarchy. There are political and social benefits created to get them out of this situation but they decide that they need to sleep and wait to be spoon fed. Too sad..
Adam be grateful ... Adam be grateful for all life's experiences. I think it looks like a simple life. I am thinking of moving there for a good. I am so sick of all the superficial BS here is California. Yes I grew up here in South Orange County but never been happy with all the unhappy fake ,plastic people? that I see everyday.they have money and items and still they are miserable.As long as the people were nice and caring that is all that really matters...did they look happy for the most part?
Its cool! That the? ... Its cool! That the? one..... :)
thanks for this ... thanks for this video man...its awesome...no sugarcoating vid...but thats Tonga...n love my home...hope? you enjoyed your stay....
OMG when was this ... OMG when was this video? i used to stay in one of those houses like 1999? its was already rebuild and nice ...lol better than what i jst saw on you video.... what a change to tonga now.. hope you went back there now, a big changing now lol
Wosers! Must be ... Wosers! Must be just Pahu area man LOL next time stop in Vaini for a drink, i would've rented out a hotel for my mates too - for air con. It's? too hot over there.
next time dude come ... next time dude come visit and live in LIAHONA....?
shet least you guys ... shet least you guys got indoor shower and toilet. when I went with my dad had to use the outside one? (this was back in the 90s lol) in the dark ass night LOL. But damn think i rather go use the bathroom in the bush than that toilet AHAHAHA damn thats crazy.
Cheers? mate, ... Cheers? mate, wasn't the hook up, just stayed there to start, wanted to live hard, did move into a better place after a few weeks, I was def joking about the 5* accomm. I did go to Vava'u, did some sea cave diving which was great and is much prettier than Tongatapu for sure!I didn't get to Eau but did make it to Pangaimotu as well. Also rode the Tongan ferry (yep, the red one) and stopped in Haapi, been round the main island to every spot, blow holes, Anahulu caves, all beaches, bars,etc
Thanks mate, I only ... Thanks mate, I only stayed in that place for about 6 weeks, we got a bit better place after, but it was about the experience, like you said, I did get to see lot's? of other places, islands, did some diving in Vava'u and the sea caves which was incredible, been everywhere on Tongatapu, went to Pangaimotu, and all kinds of other stuff, was a good experience for the most part!
Cheers mate. I was ... Cheers mate. I was living in NZ, and had a mate that moved over there, so though I'd go check it out and stay for a while,? see what it was like, was there for almost 4 months, but haven't been there in about 6 months, I live in Europe now.
What brought you to ... What brought you to Tonga? How long are you staying?? Nice video.
I don't find ... I don't find anything wrong with the video. Some people are more worried about the image of Tonga rather than just letting people show their real? life experiences of Tonga. Lack of fully functional plumbing is nothing new in some places so why feel offended by this video? I hope this guy got to know Tonga for it's people though and the more important parts to Tongan life and culture....thanks for the video mate.
@adamkenny1984 i ... @adamkenny1984 i agree with others who hav commented but you? had bad hook-ups if you say that was your 5star hotel joking rite? next time if there is a next time to tonga go to VAVA'U or EUA they will definitely show you 5star hotel and hospitality!! yes some people may live like how you showed but i guess that's how it is since it's still a monarchy country, it is not yet run by goverment "democracy?" as you say however if you do i can surely hook you up with connection malo.
this what looks ... this what looks like,a life with out? china
