Interested in learning about Polynesia, specifically about Samoa and Tonga. Anyone out here from there or has been there.
Summoning Polynesians
No
>t. salty tahitian
i live in tonga for 6 months
are you tongan
not even a little bit
why did you live there
Lots of Polys in Australia. They're very friendly people.
my dad worked there so i went for two 3month stints to live there
went to a shitty school that did full on religious brainwashing as well
>went to a shitty school that did full on religious brainwashing as well
what happened?
do they live in any specific region?
Are the dogs in Tonga bad? I heard they were. Did you have to throw rocks at them? Why doesn't one guy with a gun kill them all?
>promoting animal abuse
what's your problem?
not really. Theres a lot of strays and people don't lock them in but i never had a problem with them. They're small-medium sized and malnourished and get treated like shit. I don't even know why tongans have dogs they don't care if they live or die.
just constant bombardment and the program they use is creationist, you have to memorise bits of scripture with school assessment as part of the mark, theres a faith class every week.
>complains about animal abuse but eats meat
unless you are vegan you can't complain
Can you speak/write any Tongan? Also, if you are white, did it feel weird being the only white person in Tonga? Were they racist to you or only in a mild teasing way.
i am :3
was it a public school? are all school like that?
Dogs and pigs wander in the villages but someone will have a claim to them. They're both destined for the dinner table
they eat dogs?
nah, basically everyone speaks english though. Theres accually a decent amount of expats there, you can definitely feel standing out but mostly in the ask the white people for money way because the entire country is a money sink propped up by anglo and chinese investment. And they definitely don't like the Chinese even though they drump way more money in have have tons of little shops.
but do Tongan people speak Tongan in between themselves or do they speak english at home
they speak tongan with themsleves but they'll switch into english mid conversation and chuck in both words into the other language
It wasn't so long ago they ate people
aren't those papuans?
bump
they all ate people
There's probably Tongans and Samoans posting under NZ and Australian flags
>sees nz flag
a-are you samoan, p-polyni-san
My ex was Samoan. Thicc but not fat, everybody loves to cook over there.
Family is everything in Polynesia, especially in expat communities in the US and elsewhere. My ex's extended family rented out an entire apartment building for everyone to stay in, and they would always have cookouts and gatherings.
Polynesians are almost always super chill people. 10/10 bro tier. Just watch out for Filipinos that like to wewuz
What do Polynesians think of dating people of other races?
no, sorry, but there's a lot living in Auckland, like 200,000
do they integrate well?
Yeah, they're closely related to Maori and they're very Christian so I guess that helps
In the US, as long as you can understand their culture, you'll be fine.
I'm white and I never felt awkward or out of place with my ex. Her friends and family were pretty welcoming of me once they understood that I wasn't some rich white guy just looking for an exotic piece of ass.
Shit, we're still friends to this day.
aww fuck, I forgot how religious they can get...
I guess the krauts really beat that shit into them back in the 1800s because they allll love their jesus.
How Christian are they? Like American Evangelical tier Christian?
did you ever have any problems cause of how religious they were?
Friend of mine is from NZ. According to him a lot of Maori have the same sort of problems our natives do, such as alcoholism and domestic abuse. That said, there are far more that "make it" into the rest of society rather than practically none like it is here.
Yeah kinda. They have very large and loud sermons like Evangelicals, but with none of the aggressive 'fire and brimstone' rhetoric that you'd think of when you hear that kind of worship. Roman Catholics are the most popular back on the islands, and there are a suprising amount of Mormons too.
But despite how loud they can get, I've never been proselytized by anyone, so they're good to me. Plus they like to have cookouts and roasts after church
A lot are Mormons/ Jehovah's witnesses
sounds like fun. I know it's a thing to wear exclusively white to church. Are Hawaiians as Christian as other polys? Hawaiians are the whinest of the bunch despite having the best living conditions and act like emo teenagers towards the US.
>I wasn't some rich white guy just looking for an exotic piece of ass.
but were you looking for an exotic piece of ass user?
native Hawaiians don't exist anymore, they got swallowed up by Filipino wewuzzing.
Fuck Hawaii, everybody thinks they have it sooooo hard out there dealing with the tourists, when either they're an immigrant from southeast asia or a white boomer snowbird with a million dollar summer home to die in.
[spoiler]yes[/spoiler]
Anyone ever been to Tahiti or the Marquesas? Wanting to go there someday. Polynesia is honestly better than the Caribbean as far as tropical paradises go.
Yeah I got that impression from Hawaiians. I can understand their point of view a hundred years ago, but Hawaii is far gone. Hawaii is an important tale of a people replaced. If you bring in thousands of people from foreign lands, your culture and people will die out. It's just funny how websites like AJ+ and Buzzfeed don't have the foresight to see this. Maori had it better though because they have higher numbers but I don't think Te Reo is as prominant there.
Also was your samoan gf thicc or fat, because from what I've seen Samoan men are hot but the women are not.
No but I know that the Marquesas are less touristy than Tahiti. FP is Francophone though. The flags of FP are pretty sick, this is Gambier Island's.
bumb
do they have big benis
haha benis eesti XDD
Tongas are the master race
They are very tough
They're big guys
I've been to the tuamotu islands in French poly, they are good, there's sun, sea and fishes
Big boy - O se tama tele
The descendants of the great Mu continent ancient civilization
surprisingly theres more polys in the USA than anywhere else
bump
Are fa'afafine basically like kathoeys in Thailand? Can you fuck them?
I wonder if our Polynesian territories are included in that count. Even If not, I know there a bunch in Hawaii and California too.
