Tonga ([ˈtoŋa]; Tongan: Puleʻanga Fakatuʻi ʻo Tonga), officially the Kingdom of Tonga, is a Polynesian sovereign state and archipelago comprising 177 islands of which 52 islands are inhabited. The total surface area is about 750 square kilometres (290 sq mi) scattered over 700,000 square kilometres (270,000 sq mi) of the southern Pacific Ocean. It has a population 103,000 people of whom 70% reside on the main island of Tongatapu.
Tonga stretches over about 800 kilometres (500 mi) in a north-south line – about a third of the distance from New Zealand to Hawaii. It is surrounded by Fiji and Wallis and Futuna (France) to the northwest, Samoa to the northeast, Niue to the east, Kermadec (part of New Zealand) to the southwest, and New Caledonia (France) and Vanuatu to the farther west.
Tonga became known as the Friendly Islands because of the congenial reception accorded to Captain James Cook on his first visit in 1773. He arrived at the time of the ʻinasi festival, the yearly donation of the First Fruits to the Tuʻi Tonga (the islands' paramount chief) and so received an invitation to the festivities. According to the writer William Mariner, the chiefs wanted to kill Cook during the gathering but could not agree on a plan.

Nigadona ny tany Madagasikara ny Filoha Ratsiraka Didier tamin'ny fiaramanina Cors'air Fly. Nisy fahatarana adin'ny iray ka tamin'ny 12.25 no nahatongavany teo Ivato. Nanoroka ny tany Malagasy ny Filoha ary avy eo dia narahiny fampisehoan-kery izany. Nahavita "pompe" 36 ny tenany teo amin'ny Piste d'aterrissage. Araka ny fanazavany dia 9taona x 6 volana izany, fitambaran'ireo fotoana handaozany an'iMadagasikara. Nanahirana ny fakana vaovao teny Ivato. Tositosika sy fandrahonana hamotehana ny fitaovam-piasanan'ny mpanao gazety no niainana tamin'izany. Na dia izany aza hery nasehon'ireo mpiaro ny vahoaka sy ny fannany dia faly sy ravo ny mbomba azy. Tsy noresahina ny feuille de route fa ny resaka fihaonana an-tampony izay atao eto Antananarivo Madagasikara no antony voalohany nahatongav...

**********************MORE INFO********************** Hello Lovelies, I've been away for a while but here is a treat for you until I am back in the states!!! This is only episode 1 of my trip to Tonga. It's been a GREAT experience coming back to my homeland and seeing the house I grew up in to the school that I attended. Everything here seems to be the way that I remember even the faces of the ones I love. They seem to never really age here as if I'm stepping into a time machine. I've enjoyed visiting our plantation that I used to run around freely in with my siblings. Swinging on vines pretending to be 'George of the Jungle' to feeding the pigs that we would later kill and eat. HAHAHA. These were the days! Days without social media, days where we didn't really talk back to our parents,...

From the http://www.VideoSource.com Global Village Travel Guide and DVD, "Islands of the South Pacific". Stock footage available from http://videosource.com/search.html Transcript: Around 1000 B.C., when the Fijian islands could no longer support their growing populations the people looked eastward to what is today the Kingdom of Tonga. The limestone islands they found weren't as diverse, nor as fertile as the volcanic ones they'd left, so they brought with them the domesticated animals and the food plants they would need. The Kingdom of Tonga is comprised of a number of island groups. The two most important are the Tongatapu group in the south and the Vava'u group in the north. Between them lies the Ha'apai group. There are 170 islands in all, of wh...
