 kava party by Lucia_1957
Tongan people are so friendly and I have made some friends there. Especially the fai kava (kava party) is an opportunity to know them, drinking kava, the Tongan traditional drink (nonalcoholic), and singing lovely songs, beautiful... I miss them very much. Leave a Comment

...was getting married to my beautiful wife Lokasi on March 7th 1996. It was pouring rain! But by the time we had the ceremony the sun had come out & everyone came to our wedding! Leave a Comment

My Best memory of Tonga is the friends I made while there. We were there in 2000 for 3 months, and in 2001 as well. We even had a child that the parents had us name. It was quite an honor. Leave a Comment

Hey-
See if Billy's on Lifuka is still there. Sandy and Billy are the owners and Milika is the local gal that helps out. Sandy makes wonderful pizza and they are on the windward side of the island so when the rest of the island is broiling, they are feeling a nice cooling breeze. You can snorkel, go to a local dance, or meet a few of the wacky ex-pats that live there. In Tongatapu visit the brewery, check out the power supply, stay at Tony's as he has a mini Kava ceremony every night and offers a wonderful tour-it has been a while since I was there.Go to an umu, visit a bakery on Sunday when the businesses are closed and when cars are not allowed to be on the road. drink Kava every night with other travellers - or at a true ceremony with a load of Tongan men. I stayed for 2 months. I did not get bored and was busy busy.
I miss the lack of tourists. It is not a particularly popular destination and as a result is pretty much unfettered by alot of our Western trappings-it's really cool!!! Leave a Comment

Listening to Tongan choirs at the church while gazing at a pitch black sky full of stars and looking at the Milky Way, you can definately see the Milky Way in these islands.
No McDonalds or any other fast food or convenience store to spoil the islands. Huge fruit bats, whales and a 3 day old calf, Tongans wearing their traditional tapas skirts (I believe they are called tapas). Just a world away from nothing I've ever seen. Leave a Comment

 The Gates of The Kingdom by RJGorringe
One of the best merories I have in Tonga is when I met THE KING OF TONGA. (I will up-load a picture soon). But I was 24 years old & had merorized 15 questions to ask him. After the 3rd I forgot everthing. I was stunned in not knowing what to do. King Tau'afahau made me feel so at ease.We talked of many wonderful things. Walking away from that experience the only thing that I could think was how much like Jesus he emulated. When you're in the presence of someone special (i.e. a movie/rockstar, etc...) they usually make you feel like you're a "nobody" & that they're at the top of the world. But Jesus (and... here, the King of Tonga) made me feel so loved & accepted. I will never forget it
If you can gain an audience with the King I would highly recomend it. God is so good! Leave a Comment
