<strong>Tonga best answer:</strong>
<p><i>Answer by Bingalee</i><br/>I've never been to Tonga,but my sister has, & she said it is an entirely different culture to ours.She was fortunate enough to be invited to a private home for a meal.They don't have furniture like we do,they sleep on mats & sit on the floor which is covered by a locally made matting(probably reeds or coconut fibre.) They are a very friendly people,polite & respectful.We have many Tongans living in Australia.Tonga is a Kingdom,Australia has the British Q as our head of state,but we are an independant country.Similarities between the two countries would be our love of sport,beautiful weather & friendliness.See the links below for more info.
