Thank you Vic for the video. I'm a Tuvaluan studying in Australia and since I got here (ANU), I found it very difficult to explain to my friends at University how Tuvalu is deeply impacted by climate change. Well, some, even a few of my Lecturers do not have any clue where Tuvalu is....so thank you for telling the world about my tiny, but beautiful country.
It was my pleasure visiting Tuvalu and I had a great time. During my Pacific tour in 2020, I hope I can come back..
I wish god make your country more lovely and your people strong
Manaema Saitala maam im wondering where do u get fresh water..
Wht language people of Tuvalu daily use?
@@jeffapac5459 They collect rain water
Thanks Yes Theory for bringing me here.
I came here after watching yes theory's video too... I'm so glad I found out about this amazing country!! I'm definitely going to visit tuvalu next year
@@huski1 Hello, thank you for watching my videos!! 👍👍👍
@@elsiesfijian8599 nope it's actually an island nation ( country) in the south Pacific
@@elsiesfijian8599 so......yeah it's a country!! And it's freaking amazing
Same here
Vic, as a Tuvaluan who lives in Australia, i thank you from the bottom of my heart for pronouncing our country's name correctly!!! There are so many posts where this is not the case. Valu is the number 8. Tu means stand. Pronunciations make the name of our tiny nation meaningless.
I salute you!
Hi Lily, thank you for your wonderful comments, I hope to go back to Tuvalu soon!
Here after Yes Theory video!
Hello, thank you for watching my videos!! 👍👍👍
Thanks for the video Vic. I'm Tuvaluan, but grew up in NZ aand now resides in Australia. I also served in the NZ army and was fortunate enough to go home(Tuvalu) and help as part of the Aus/NZ project in the south pacific. Those pits were one of the main focus of the project. Seems like the project on pits have stalled.
Hi and thank you for viewing my videos. Unfortunately, the pits are still there and no one seems to care and to do anything concerning their removal..
I hope it gets well
Vic! Wow, thank you for this fantastic video! My wife gave me a globe for Christmas, and we were playing a game of “let’s find all the Countries of the British Commonwealth”. For some reason we felt drawn to Tuvalu, and decided to learn more. Your video was the first thing that came up, and you did a wonderful job of educating us about this beautiful country! Thank you again, you now have two new fans! Safe travels!! :)
Hi, thank you for viewing my videos and for your wonderful comments!!
Am really blessed by all this important information provided. Although a small country, it's looks very safe and friendly. I will like to visit this serene country in the nearest future. Thanks Vic.
It really is a very safe and beautiful country, thank you for watching!! 👍👍👍
It's so interesting to see what life is like in these tiny counties. Thank you for this!
Thank you for your comments!!
Thanks for the info , my first time...beautiful. Goodluck from Philippines....unique country
Hello, thank you for your comments!! 👍👍👍
Very nice video, explaining all the facts and shows the real life of this amazing country
Hello, thank you for your comments and for watching my videos!! 😊😊😊
great rare video from this "forgotten" paradise..
Forgotten and very remote.. thank you for your comments!
What a beautiful island! nice explainer video!
Hello, thank you for your comments!! 👍👍👍
Excellent video, my friend! Love your narrative of this beautiful country.
Hello, thank you for watching my videos and for your wonderful comments!! 👍👍👍
Thank you for your videos. I am not sure of the date you took these videos of Funafuti Tuvalu but surely it was either before or during January 2018. If I may add on to your commentary, Tuvalu hosted the Pacific Island Forum in 2019 and a lot of development has been implemented prior to the forum leaders meeting (possibly after your video). Those "borrowed pits" (25:30) that the US marines dug up during WWII has been rehabilitated with dredged materials from the lagoon thanks to New Zealand. The old wharf that you were filming and talked about soccer on the beach (3:50) has also been filled with dredged material under the UNDP and Tuvalu government funded coastal adaptation project (undertaken by Australian based Hall Pacific) creating a new waterfront land area of approximately 40,000 meter squared in size, with beach nourishment works also carried out in a 55,000 meter squared stretch of the foreshore. The new foreshore is named Queen Elizabeth II park. This park now has a new convention center, executive bungalows, and other buildings build on it. Opposite the Queen Elizabeth II park inland is the fairly new three stories government building which was build by Taiwan (one of tallest and 'biggest' building in the country of about 13 meters, not shown in video; certainly not the church shown in 23:00). Republic of China, Taiwan are the "Chinese" aid donors of which you talked about in the video. Their embassy and flag is seen (13:50) in your video as well. Tuvalu is one of the few nations in the Pacific that has no diplomatic ties with communist People's Republic of China. The Princess Margaret Hospital at 6:45 has also been renovated by Japan Aid, the donor nation who build it among lots of other projects. A new and bigger airport terminal and the Australian High Commission and lots of other development has also opened since your video. Its amazing how such a small place could change in such a short time, thanks to the support of aid agencies and friends of Tuvalu.
Thanks for mentioning the impact of sea level rise on low lying nations of not just those you mentioned in 4:50 but also Tokelau and the Maldives. By the way parts of the area surrounding the runway would be flooded by salt water sipping up from the ground during "king tides." Truth be told coastal areas all over our planet are vulnerable to sea level rise including places like Florida and Venice. Keep up the good work with your videos. Best wishes to you and stay awesome. Cheers.
Hello my friend and thank you for all these very interesting and informative comments. I was in Tuvalu in 2015 and I was hoping to be able to go back in 2020 but unfortunately my I could not work that visit in my schedule so I will be visiting Fiji, Samoa and Tonga.. But, there is always another time.. fingers crossed.. thank you again!
Thanx fo showing us this small island of Tuvalu, is amazing, 🏝️
It’s a great place to visit, thank you for watching!! 😊😊😊

Hi Mitchell, thank you for all your support, for subscribing to my channel and for your wonderful comments!
9:59 That's cute. They think he's taking a picture, not a video, so they're huddling and posing so he gets a good shot.
Thank you for your comments!
It's crazy how small it is. In elementary school kids used to try and find us(Bermuda) on maps or globes. Then in my first year of highschool I learned about Tuvalu and it amazes me how it's independant and about 10mi² smaller than Bermuda. I've been in love with it ever since.
Hello, thank you for your comments!! 👍👍👍

Hi Jocelynn, thank you for viewing my videos!!
Great video-- well done!
Thank you!!
Very good narration. Beautiful Paradise!
Thank you for your wonderful comments!!
Your videos are amazing! I think I watched all your videos (if I'm correct), and you missed one interesting thing, and it only happens in Tuvalu. At night, when the weather is good, you can see people sleeping on the runway. Well, there are no planes at night (lol). This shows the world that it is a peaceful country, and there is no need to lock your doors, well, except from cats and dogs. Thank you Vic for the videos.
Hi and thank you for your comments and for viewing my videos. I saw the people sleeping on the runway, on several occasions but it was too dark for me to videotape them..
@manaema saitala wanna talk to you. Can I have a contact for you please, I want to learn more about your country

Thank you sir for giving us thru n thru understanding of islands.

What was relationship of British with Kiribati n tuvalu?
It sure proves need for global cooperation to assess their impact of far away communities. Jussojuan. Good day sir
Both, Tuvalu and Kiribati became independent from Britain in 1974 and formed separate countries..
Love this video i hope i could go there
You can get here one day, just try and you will!

This is my dream country to go to! But my parents tell me it’s too expensive and too hard to get from there from australia
Hello and thank you for viewing my videos!!
getting there from Germany is harder lol
I don't think it's that expensive to get there cos there is only one stop in between Australia and Tuvalu and that is Fiji. Try and get and believe me you won't regret it.
Turboplayzz ye it's like 800 from Fiji and Idk from Australia
If you are lucky cheap fares can range from 300 to 500 one way from Fiji. I just made a booking cost me 950 return from Suva, Fiji.
My second home. Lived here for 5 years and my son was born here.
Hello, thank you for watching my videos!! 👍👍👍
Victor you have to go back as Funafuti beach has changed a lot.
Yes, I will be going back in 2021!!
I would love to visit too, I am Thai. I think due to your information I have to fly to Fiji, but after the pedantic.
Hi, the only way to get there is from Fiji but Fiji is closed now due to the pandemic..
They can grow food. Raised beds.
They can grow more than enough veggies and some fruits to feed everyone on the island. Have their government bring in wood to build the boxes, good organic soil and any necessary tools. Obviously, they have drinking water so they must know all about rainwater catchment.
Anything is possible. Perhaps I need to visit.
amazing video
Thank you!!
