A Basket of Goods: Tonga!

We're here in the northern Vava'u island group in the Kingdom of Tonga. There are many remote villages spread amongst the islands, as well as one larger administrative center: Neiafu. There's a main strip with restaurants, shops, and banks in the town. Although there is no McDonalds here in the Vava'U group, we were able to fill our basket quite easily. Here are our prices in the local Tongan currency, the 'Pa'anga.'


Big Mac: NONE!
Haircut: 20 Pa-anga
Coke: 1.50 Pa-Anga
