Please keep making videos like this. RU-vid needs more Informative videos about lesser known overseas terretories. I would be cool if you also gold how you could Get to theese Islands from europe or America. From a Norwegian subscriber🇳🇴🇹🇰
At 12:28 I explain how you can get there. So long as you are able to catch a flight from anywhere in Europe to any of the connecting countries stated in the video, then you are able to make it to the Islands.
im going to nukunounu in november this year, it will be my second time, this first time i was in my mums stomach lol. for context im a tokelaun living in new zealand, my nana was born in nukunounu and migrated to samoa, then new zealand.
Interesting place and unique. Beautiful living where locals care for and have respect for each other on a daily basis. The people live quite well and everyone is sort of on an equal living standards. As someone from another bigger country, Samoa, I went there for 2 weeks to two of their islands. After I've seen it all, I just felt like "I'm stuck" in there. The islands are too small and isolated which can make you feel claustrophobic. The locals are used to living on their islands, but foreigners from bigger countries would find it hard to live on the islands for a long time.
It is technically, but the island itself has no UN representation or government. It is also home to mostly scientists who are british. It is also governed by St Helena. Hence Tokelau is the most isolated "Nation" in the world, the most isolated Island in the world would probably be Bouvet island belonging to Norway.
Thanks very interesting and rings true to me. Having lived in Honiara as a kid for two years. Plus what I know of Maori culture here in Aotearoa/New Zealand. Laurie. NZ.
Yeah, alot of the pronunciations are not very well done. The word Olohega is actually pronounced OloHENga aswell. I've never been good with that sort of thing.
What’s crazy to me is that my grandma was raised on the island Olehega with her 11 siblings. It’s the only island around Tokelau that has a fresh water lagoon
As far as I am aware they are still not allowed, there aren't any paved road infrastructure on the island to really accommodate large vehicles. travel.gc.ca/destinations/tokelau This travel guide by the Canadian government states still in road safety that there are no vehicles of paved roads on Tokelau.
@@TwoObscure I have recent videos that say otherwise. I’m not sure where you’re getting your information from, maybe 🤔 just maybe they need to be updated 👀🤗😎 Loving the story though dude, keep up the good work 💯🇹🇰❤️
there are vehicles and trucks there but they mainly use golf carts to travel around the atoll as its more convenient & the heat over there is just out of it 😂 but atafu is where my mother is from & we visit there quite often 😁 thank you for the video!!
Hey, My fact stated in the video that Atafu Village was the most populated settlement in Tokelau. The island of Fakaofo has 2 settlements named Fenua Fala and Fale. According to the 2006 census they have a combined population of 480 people, that may have increased since, but since the population would be split between the 2 settlements, Atafu Village is still the largest settlement on Tokelau.
I think you added a bit of confusion by not showing how far apart the islands are, their actual orientation to each other and their size relative to each other.
yeah maybe you could have shown an image of the relative size for a few seconds at the beginning or something like that to get a quick understanding@@TwoObscure
True, I was also wondering a bit and kinda guessed that they'd probably be way further apart than shown. Regarding size and orientation I was left in the dark of course. I think the route that swiftshot mentioned would've been a good compromise.
Bruh just be grateful, you don’t see anything about Tokelau this detailed, no tokelauan is putting in this effort either so hush the mouth and be happy. Because let’s face it, our island is ALWAYS forgotten about.
Whoa, whoa, whoa. Oscilloscopes? You can't drop that "fact" at the end without further explanation. They certainly can't be manufacturing oscilloscopes. Could it have been a reseller situation? I'm going with typo on the 2019 trade records. More info please!
I don't like to link as RU-vid will oftentimes blacklist your comment, but there's some information about it online if you Google. The abridged version is either they were reselling them, or a mistake was made in the reporting. At least that's most likely.
I thought this aswell, it may be a case of reselling them, maybe the machines were used during the installation of their solar panels and then resold once not needed anymore.
