Tokelau Fakaofo
Fakaofo atoll is twofold exceptional. First of all a huge solar array constructed in 2015 provides all the island's electricity. Besides they took up the fight with the elements of the nature. They have constucted a four-meter-seawall , thus they can protect themselves from floodings caused by cyclones and sealevel rise.
During our stay we could witness merely the Gabion wall, it was amazing!
I am very much obliged to Afega Gaualofa, who made our stay pleasant and confortable, as well as helped a lot to get familiar with the way of life on Fakaofo atoll.

Gilbert Islands Tarawa
มุมมอง 2.7K6 ปีที่แล้ว
It was my 4th radio expedition in the Pacific. Our host, Mote Terukaio was the chief of telecommunication of Kiribati. I am obliged to him for his valuable information on Kiribati. Kiribati is seriously struggling with overpopulation and the unstoppable sea level rise.
Niue
มุมมอง 7K6 ปีที่แล้ว
It was 1991 when I visited Niue with my buddy, Miki. We carried out so-called radio expedition but in addition to it it was great to learn how the Niuean people lived. In the video I intend to show a few typical moments of their life.
ROTUMA

With my buddy, Kari, I spent 4 pleasant weeks in Rotuma in 2005. Our main goal was hamradioing but besides we learned much about their history and their way of life. Great people!
Visit on the Chatham Islands
มุมมอง 2.8K6 ปีที่แล้ว
With my buddy we spent a month in the Chatham Islands from Dec.1990 to Jan. 1991. The first goal of our trip was so-called DXpedition, besides we tried to be familiar with the history of the island and the lifestyle of the islanders. We had a great time on Chatham.Thanks to our hosts, John&Denise Sutherland at the Chatham Lodge.

    as u can see I was there just 29 years ago...I enjoyed it very much, like so many other islands in the Pacific...why? the answer is very simple: I the native folks are honest, humble...unfortunately the young generation finds the life in NZ, Australia and other, so-called civilized countries more exiting, enjoyable...it's a pity!

      When I made these short videos in the Pacific in the course of 25 years, I did not know that one day these would be available for everyone on the Internet. Now I am very happy that I have made these videos, it is a great pleasure also for me but -I think- much more for those who were born and lived there...
