Hi everyone,

I’ve made a new app called Talanoa, built to help people learn Pasifika languages in a simple, Duolingo style way.

I’m still building and improving the Fijian section, and I’ll keep adding more content and features over time.

The app is free to download, and I’m keeping it free for the first month. After that, there’ll likely be a subscription option for extra features.

I’d really appreciate any downloads, feedback, or reviews. It would help a lot as I keep building this.

Getting cash on arrival

I had arranged to pick up an order of Pa'anga from the currency exchange at Melbourne airport before I leave for Tonga on Sunday. They just emailed me to say it's not available. Is there still a Western Union at the airport in Nuku'alofa? Is there enough time to transfer funds to collect Monday morning??? I thought I was so organised now I'm stressed!

Terrible Tonga Airlines

Lulutai Airlines is an airline I find intolerable. I booked a flight with them; although the ticket terms outlined refund and rebooking policies, the website lacked the actual buttons to process these requests. I was forced to rely on email or phone calls. To begin with, the phone line wasn't toll-free, meaning I incurred high call charges—yet despite calling repeatedly, I received no response. My emails went unanswered as well. I couldn't visit them in person because I am a tourist living in New Zealand. I am absolutely furious.
