Tonga people are worshipping on the wrong day. It is sad that so many people are worshipping on Sunday when the true day of rest is Saturday Sabbath. Please read Exodus 20 : 8 - 11.

Swizerland is not far off (also everything is closed on Sundays) and in fact it's even illegal to do chores such as throwing away the trash, mowing the lawn etc

Just heard the this country was hit by tsunami ....hope it is not devastating

I KNEW you were gonna talk about Tonga on Sundays lmao! This video made me so proud to be tongan. I'm glad you experienced the church ceremony as well as the local food and hospitality. Thanks for shedding some international light on our little island. Mate Ma'a Tonga!!

i could relate this to my hometown. come to North East India,state Manipur, every hills district you'll experience the same, Sundays closed. because we respect our religion and culture

We Tuvaluans do the same thing on sundays,God bless our neighbour Tonga🇹🇻🤝🇹🇴

I hope everyone is OK right now in Tonga.

3:16 - YES! that is the same outlook I have on travelling. It is not about visiting all these touristy, well-known places, it is about experiencing life the way people in other parts of the world do. There is nothing more enriching and educating than that.

You can apply like any other Country. Warning: Its hard to be come citizen in Tonga.

@Yamezzzz

3 жыл бұрын

You do realise if you aren't from a country, to get citizenship in a country, it's a very long and committed process, and often impossible. You need to live in Tonga for 15 years and renounce your previous citizenship (to show commitment), to become a Tongan citizen. Basically, you need to become Tongan de facto before you can become Tongan de jure. That's the same with pretty much every country, including your own probably. You can't just show up. Tourist visas might be easy to get but to get the right to LIVE there and work is already very difficult and rare, and you have to do that for a very long time before you can even think about citizenship. I guess you should be asking: How can I get a visa to LIVE in Tonga? That comes down to you skills, if someone in Tonga has a job offer and is willing to sponsor you or if you have family there. It's also very difficult to get someone willing to give you a job there when you're foreign and don't have any pre-existing legal rights to be there. but that's your best chance.

It's the same thing here in our state of Mizoram, India.

Wow really think this country is interesting and one i would definitely consider travelling to.

It’s a law in Tonga to keep the sabbath day holy. It’s what makes Tonga significant from any other part of the world cause it’s the entire country. It may not work in other countries but it does in Tonga. It’s our favorite day of the week! As a Tongan and growing up in Tonga, we are grateful for this day of rest. Back then we would go to church come home, exchange food that we cooked that day then we eat. Exchanging food was a tradition which was good cause instead of having one entree you may have one or two more entrees that you did not make that day. Then we rest for those that want to rest. For us kids it was a time to visit family and friends. That was the activity every Sunday was visiting people or you can just stay home but we loved walking the streets and villages to socialize. Tonga was very safe, you never had to worry bout where your kids were back then. Mind you, there was no phones to call your neighbors or family to find out where your kids are at. It’s what everybody did. It was something we looked forward to doing, it was so much fun!! We didn’t have tv’s or electronics but we knew all our neighbors and people in the surrounding villages. When we moved to the United States we stayed true to what we knew. We kept the sabbath day holy. We went to church, shared our food with our neighbors, rested then visited family and friends. In sharing our tradition with our neighbors, we got so close with them, we became family even now 50+ years later.

Yep brother l am Tongan and that's just the way it is and my prayer that it will stay that way for ever! The anthem will shock you because it's almost a hymn straight up and it is not political correct if it was here at USA 🇺🇸 lol. Miss my island ❤ my island ❤
