This is pretty normal in Tonga! If you're walking around & people are eating inside their homes and they see you they'll call you over for dinner - on Sundays they also give food to their neighbours, sharing is a pretty big thing in Tonga!
@@rektifier6470 No I dont live on the island atm, but I have been there many times. What are you specifically afraid of? The seas are pretty calm to Pangai Motu, its not far from the main island.
Even here in Australia but no everything is closed. I lived in Tonga for 10 years I know what this guy means. You can't even cleans or do any work on Sundays just praise and worship only.
Praise God and the people of Tonga for doing this on Sundays. I am Catholic myself and hope for something like this to be brought to where I live. Love the faith of the Tongans.
I had new years day in Tonga and literally there was no one around because it was a Sunday. Still I spent a month here and after 35 countries I've visited it still remains my favourite. I love the laid back life and I plan on visiting Tonga again.
not gorgia turner , if I understood what you're saying , I could respond . The point being Western societies are mostly tolerant of anyone being with faith or without. You can even start your own faith if others wish to join you . Each needs to respect that the other also exists and has a right to their way of life. Too many people can't see life from anybody elses shoes but their own .
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.
Volcano eruption happen on top of the Tonga .. i can't imagine how much destruction happens there.. 😭 pray for the people of Tonga.. hope good news comes out soon ❤️🙏
Family days still holds true, yes... But Church attendance in the PH is already dropping (and there are many small towns where the Cockfighting Arena has higher attendance than the local Parish Church holding Sunday Mass)...
When I was young I was thinking that everywhere in the world rests on Sundays because it's exactly the same as Tongo here in Christian majority state in Mizoram , India
That's fantastic We used to respect sundays in Italy now no more unluckily ☹️ There should be one day a week that everything stops and families stay together. Why should mothers go to work on sundays and leave their families? Once it wasn't like this and people were happier ,now it's just a frenetic race. Full respect to aTonga!!
Danyael Darlucio Christian is a group of various different religions, like catholic, Protestant, Quaker, etc. 97% are Christian, but not all of them are catholic.
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 ❤
97% of Tongans being Catholic is not true. About half the island are members of the Church of Jesus Christ of letter day Saints and also there are a good portion of Methodist there too.
1:34 Actually, only 19% of Tongans identify as Roman Catholic. 36% belong to the national church, a Methodist denomination known as the Free Wesleyan Church of Tonga.
Was about to say this thing, glad you spoke up, as I was curious of his statement saying 97% of the population idintifies them as a Catholic, I Googled instantly.
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.
I hope your mom gets to go! It is fun, even though I was never born there but I am Tongan and I did not know Tongan was closed! I guess I need to ask my grandma more facts about Tonga 😂😂
Thank you @Drew Binsky for this video. I'm a proud Tongan, born and still live there now. Things are and will always be the same here in Tonga for Sundays. Appreciate your positive vibe and willing to put up this video. Hope your time here was well-spent! 🇹🇴

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.
Tonga is not the only one to close up in Sunday.There is also a state called Mizoram,in Mizoram they close up too,and they went to church in morning,afternoon,night
@@offical6733 Yeah, but I was just pointing out that they meant that the same thing happens in a state of India called Mizoram, but not in all of India. Of course if you meant that Tonga is a country, that is correct. 🙂

Great video! Just that one fact about 97% Tongans are catholic is incorrect. Tonga is the world's only state church in the Methodist tradition of Protestantism. Loved your outlook of Tonga!
Cardinals of the Catholic Church is a very high position. One of them is Tongan. For a tongan to be appointed as a cardinal in a ratio against the rest of the population in the world is like a needle in a haystack. All tongans around the world number less than half a million. Yes very small country.
You could have also talked about the time zone as it's +14 GMT and is one of the most ahead time zones in the world What I'm trying to say is when their Sunday ends our begins🤣🤣
God bless this contry never ever take! RFID Well I like this kind of Christian How follow strict Rule ! Be brave stay sane guys love From INDIA our culture is vanishing but I will hold Indian culture
That's wrong, Tonga isn't the only country . In Germany there are also all shops closed on Sundays. The only thing you can do to go at the gas station.
Live in Germany as well. Work on sundays... like 40 out of all the sundays... and there are so much more things open then just the gas station. Restaurant, theme parks, ice parlours, fast food chains, museums, airports, public transportation in bigger cities, and the list goes on. There are even sundays where everything is open. Verkaufsoffener Sonntag.
What are you talking about Sunday is the not the true day of rest Saturday Sabbath is the true day of rest All church who worship on Sundays are sooooo wrong. Read Genesis 2: 1 - 3 and Exodus 20: 8 - 11.
Donna Caesar-Roberts the mark of the beast is Sunday worship, soon everyone will be enforced to take the mark if you don’t you will go through tribulation. Remember the SABBATH day to keep it holy, praise YAHUAH, the Living CREATOR ❤️🙏🏾
I remember my first day in Germany (in Europe in general) - was a Sunday, it was a miracle how I got a place to sleep before I could get keys to my dorm from the Uni the next day.

Wow it's amazing to hear this Sunday is a holiday and only going to church eat sleep and play they are very lucky to have such opturnuty God bless this country i really want to visit this country
Hi. You are amazing drew. And a bit late, but still amazing. Beautiful place. My travel channel was inspired by you. Thank you for encouraging me to keep making travel videos.

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

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.

For a tongan to be appointed as a cardinal in a ratio against the rest of the population in the world is like a needle in a haystack. All tongans around the world number less than half a million. Yes very small country.
And also even the pope, will not open the airport for him. The King is noth Catholic hahaha he is Wesleyan
That intro is so strange to see considering it’s now actually a ghost town
Sending ❤❤ to the people of Tonga....✝️🛐❤️

That's wrong, Tonga isn't the only country . In Germany there are also all shops closed on Sundays. The only thing you can do to go at the gas station.
@@Fmurfi In which branch?
tonga doesnt have single thing opened boii
But that's illegal in Tonga
@@Fmurfi ich auch
Live in Germany as well. Work on sundays... like 40 out of all the sundays... and there are so much more things open then just the gas station.
Restaurant, theme parks, ice parlours, fast food chains, museums, airports, public transportation in bigger cities, and the list goes on.
There are even sundays where everything is open. Verkaufsoffener Sonntag.
In Germany Sunday Is also a day of rest
What are you talking about Sunday is the not the true day of rest Saturday Sabbath is the true day of rest All church who worship on Sundays are sooooo wrong. Read Genesis 2: 1 - 3 and Exodus 20: 8 - 11.
Wrong day to worship. Saturday Sabbath is the true day of rest. Genesis 2 : 1-3.
Donna Caesar-Roberts the mark of the beast is Sunday worship, soon everyone will be enforced to take the mark if you don’t you will go through tribulation. Remember the SABBATH day to keep it holy, praise YAHUAH, the Living CREATOR ❤️🙏🏾
I remember my first day in Germany (in Europe in general) - was a Sunday, it was a miracle how I got a place to sleep before I could get keys to my dorm from the Uni the next day.
you should go to samoa 🇼🇸 beautiful island 🦋🌺🌸
God bless Tonga people
As a Mormon, I can live with that.
I wouldn’t say Mormons are Christians
I m from Tonga, and yes proud of my Island.
Pilot: I think we need to do a emergency landing at Tonga I will request a emergency landing at Tonga international airport.
Tonga international airport : (no respond)
Pilot: no one respond. Wait a minute today is Sunday we r screw up *pick up phone to tell passengers*
Phone: cabin crues we r going to crash land at the sea

Comment of the year 😂
Hi. You are amazing drew. And a bit late, but still amazing. Beautiful place.
My travel channel was inspired by you. Thank you for encouraging me to keep making travel videos.
I wish that studying on Sunday's were considered as illegal :XD .
The Sabbath is Saturday......The Catholic church changed it.......its also venerated the Virgin Mary as the Queen of Heaven...who is mentioned as a Demon in the old testament....nothing to do with the Holy Mary
Love tonga from India 🇮🇳❤🇹🇴
