TONGA

Okay...
I am in Tonga. My flight here was short and nice- the moon was right outside my window- nearly full.

I am living in a very dirty house with two french couples and a german guy.

We work for 2 hours a day weeding, but spend most of it waiting around to either be picked up to go to the farm or to go home.

This weekend we had a volleyball tournament and a kid's birthday- Tongan style. Lots of food and loud music. It was an experience. I am very bad a volleyball- I single-handedly made us lose. All Tongan are so incredibly nice and almost all speak good english.

Malo e lei lei is hello in Tongan.

Yesterday was Sunday, nothing is open here. NO sports are to be played. Just church. Being in Tonga the german guy and I set off hitchhiking to find a church. The people who picked us up brought us to theirs. They sing and dance and play electric guitar and drums and keyboard. Its all very lively and an experience. We were invited back to the evening service- so we went again. Church 2x in one day- Ive been once in my whole life.

Ill write in more detail later!


I am going to look for a volunteering experience.
