Many of the people I work with at my airline are Tongan, and they got me very interested in Tonga (and also a regular drinker of kava hahaha) Ofa atu bro
Looking at the food makes me hungry for some lupulu. I have some frozen. My Tongan friend made some, so good. Taro leaves, coconut milk and corned beef. That's the winner! Oh, and you have to add onions too.
The best!! Thank you for this vlog.. it’s true about being topless in public lol my cousin has to walk me everywhere like a guard and one night I wanted to walk to the Chinese shops..he brought a bedsheet and covered himself as we walked I said bro leave the sheet you have a wife beater tank on and he explained he has to cover himself because if anyone’s caught wearing a wife beater in public they could get jumped. I thought he was exaggerating but when we got there a guy walked over from the crew hanging out across the street and I realized he was trying to distract me w high praises while another guy (leader also my cousin distant related that my older sister beat up his lil brother when we were kids for bullying our younger cousins) walks over to my cousin and I walked away from the complimenting guy to my cousin and I told the dude Aye relax what you telling my bro? And immediately he was like oh wait hey I know you were family and I said uh huh this is my bro so back up.. they did but I think because when we were kids our uncle walked us to their house to tell their dad were family and to excuse my sister for whooping his son. Still..I couldn’t believe they were gonna jump my bro cuz he was wearing a tank top wife beater even covered w a sheet.. respect includes covering yourself up because everyone has sisters and you’re forcing them to break the respect so they get rights to beat you up 😅 it’s why our Tongan men swim with t shirts even no guy swims without a shirt in Tonga unless they’re foreigners 😊
@@Took_bo0x808 that’s Samoa 🇼🇸 not Tonga every culture is different for their own reason..so respect other culture it’s not just Samoan is better etc..know your lane mate.!!
Exchange is better.. very few places except USD..I live in Tonga..u can bring ur atm but it will cost u to withdrawal everytime if u have to..it's not cheap if ur bank is not from Tonga. Hopefully that helps
No running on a South Pacific island with no shirt? Brah…when I’m in Hawaii or Samoa I spend 80% of my time with no shirt…never felt weird about it…but Tongans are beautiful people and will always respect their culture and norms…looking forward to visiting their island one day 🤙🏽
@@Final50WorldI’m Tongan and I’ve never heard of this rule. It was normal for me to see male kids,teens and adults sometimes walking around with no shirt on especially on hot days. I’m so confused lol.
The best travel vlogger ever!

Nice

hello...is the letter of entry required to enter tonga?
Visited Tonga in the 60-s,was a Paradise THEN,...I would not recognise it now...Frank Juhasz
It’s illegal in Tonga’s law for male to walk anywhere without shirt. It’s ok at your home. Why? It’s disrespect.
That’s pretty stupid couple reasons why Samoa is better
@@Took_bo0x808 that’s Samoa 🇼🇸 not Tonga every culture is different for their own reason..so respect other culture it’s not just Samoan is better etc..know your lane mate.!!
@@Took_bo0x808cultures are different
@@Took_bo0x808 Weren’t Samoans slaves that’s pretty stupid
I'll be going there in a few weeks. Can I bring USD to use or do I have to exchange money? Thanks.
Bring cash but also an ATM card!
Thanks.@@Final50World
Exchange is better.. very few places except USD..I live in Tonga..u can bring ur atm but it will cost u to withdrawal everytime if u have to..it's not cheap if ur bank is not from Tonga. Hopefully that helps
Thanks for the information.

Yeah it was news to me! But it is indeed a beautiful country and rich culture!

Confusing - no Sunday commerce - but you have room, and a feast at the restaurant! So...
Ever is a big word that does not apply correctly regarding under seas volcanoes.
Being shirtless in general for a guy is considered rude regardless of what's happening.
🇹🇴 ❤😊
Headed there in 2025
we are in #5 of the most obese country in the world
😢
😂😂😂😂
Texas
Samoa numba one ☝️ 😂😅
IT'S ASHAMED WHAT HAS BEEN DONE TO THEM.
What do you mean ?
Who??
🇹🇴🤙🏽
