I worked on the 'Eua electrification project 1979-1983, and made the commute regularly (I had a home in both Nuku'alofa and Ohonua). This is my first "trip to 'Eua" since then. Thank you for the tour. The ferry is much larger now was my first observation, but I would often say what you observed--'Eua gets you away from the hustle and bustle of Tongatapu. I spent so many pleasant days hiking down to beaches where I was the only person, with just the parrots and flying foxes. One "interesting fact" I would add, when you were looking out across the water at the Northeast lookout, you were not only looking out across the Tonga Trench, one of the deepest spots in the ocean, you are looking out over one of the vastest stretches of water with no land between you and South America. Malo 'aupito
A good way to remember how to pronounce 'Eua is from the movie Avatar where the Na'vi call their supreme Goddess Eywa. 14:38 - perfect pronunciation!!! and a breathtaking view at 18:31
Hi Zoe hey ah thank you so much sharing your discoveries around Tonga , I watched your video it was amazing . I m Tongan as well live in Sydney I learned alot about Tonga and other part of Polynesia in the past and I very proud of what your inquiry and investigating about Tongan History and their way of life good on you , I hope that the locals helped you some how to explain something to you , you can find some interesting knowledge in Tonga . Tongan culture is very old Polynesian culture which polynesians been survived for the past 7,000 years and we still in the Pacific we re mostly migrated around the Pacific Cycles included NZ and Australia , some migrated far like England or Europe or America these days . European arrived early days of 16 th to 18th century like Spanish , Portuguese , Dutch , French and last century The British with Queen Victoria , First Prime Minister of Tonga from England Mr. Shirley Baker with the local King of Tonga Taufa Ahau Tupou 1 they were at Haapai Islands Group and their first Parlamentary meeting up North at the Vavau Island Group at a special Chief place called Pouono any way I leave it to you to continue your journey you doing very good keep going good on you good luck Cheers
Thank you for this beautiful information and insight. We have a question. My wife and I lived in Malaysia for a while. We looked up the visa info for Tonga. How are your able to live there? Do you do visa/border runs?
Hi thanks for the question. No it's not possible to re-enter Tonga, so since the borders were closed, the government allow foreigners to stay without having to renew their visa. I'm lucky about this!
@@talula293 yeah..I've been to Eua twice to his grave. It's a shame tourist don't know about it as it's been restored by NZ Army and looks amazing and it's a very special place
@@ajmontgomery7270 yeah that's so true huh! That's great you've been back there!! I've only been there once! But good lookin out! I'll def check it out the next time I go there!💕
Your story I just finished reading about how you're stuck there because of the pandemic and it brought me to your TH-cam channel... Trust me stay there until it's over this whole thing on mask off and mask on is a joke 🤦🏾♂️learn the language learn the culture learn the tradition coming back will just have you saying... I should of stayed... However, my condolences on your grandma, sorry to have read regard to your loss. But I wish the best for you and glad you didn't have to deal with what we did or you probably did but they'll turn in a different way.. Best of hopes for you love, take care
Hey, quick question, in what way is the DPRK socialist? The country calls itself socialist but I haven't seen any evidence of them actually being socialist (running by the definition of workers being in control of the means of production) have you seen any evidence of this?
Big question! It is and it isn't. It's run on an ideology called Juche ideology, meaning man is the master of his own destiny. You can read more about this big topic here; koryogroup.com/blog/which-countries-are-communist-which-countries-are-socialist
@@filisipohahau2117 Forgot to laugh..so stupid and sad at the same time. So you think you are 40 million years old and there is a thing called Covid 19 killing people..lol! that is why we are in this mess...people are sheeple.

Were you with a local guide at the Rats Cave? Climbing down to the cliff-side cave seems pretty scary to me.
i wasn't but the sign says it is better to, but if you don't exercise caution...!
