Hi

Any1 no if TONGA has a massive celebration, rage, party from NEW YEARZ EVE 2 da NU YER 2008:-)

They probably do, however the Tongan people have fortunately said that anyone who can only write in "texting" language will have to stay home.

Anyone know? :)

LOL islandboi, my thoughts exactly.

Tonga is a very religious nation so I expect there are no raves as such; everything closes down on a Sunday (I got into 'trouble' just talking to an expat shopkeeper in his store one Sunday; it was not open for business, he had just come down to pick up a few personal items and we were both soundly reamed out by a couple of passing churgoers who threatened to report us to the authorities).

But I really don't know how they celebrate the New Year. I could be totally off the wall on this.

I believe that underaged children need their parents written permission to travel- thank god.

And anyone over 16 who finds this kinda amusing is not fit to travel beyond their back yard.

Yes, all of you youngin's.... You'd best listen up, because Waldos is the Micronesian goddess of spankings.

Most travellers who pass by the new LDS temple in Samoa think it's a casino...

Fanx evry1

Found out how TONGA celebrates NEW YEARS from resort we will be staying with & it is very exciting

LDS Samoa Temple would look like a casino at night due to the intelligent placing of the lights to enhance the temple building & surroundings.

I was told by 1 on the MATAI'S, when we were there mid MAY 07 they're a rich church whom help & support those in need.

Many fanx 4 giggles:-)

"Found out how TONGA celebrates NEW YEARS from resort we will be staying with & it is very exciting"

Only a Kiwi could find Tonga 'exciting'.

Lovely/charming/scenic/friendly/amiable/sublime and tranquil but not exciting-except maybe in a cyclone.

Or Marlin fishing......
