Things are looking
up. Our lost bag was traced from LA and arrived on Tongatapu
island this morning. So with all our equipment together we
start running some tests. The light sensor checks out and
the PC and software driving the sensor also check out.
A local telecom and ISP called Tonfon have also agreed to
upgrade our internet connection to 64k this coming week as
a kind of sponsorship of this artwork, so we'll have a much
better chance of transmitting the data we need to reliably
from tomorrow to today. |

It is also the main market
day in Nuku'alofa and so we stock up with fresh food for the
next few days; tomatoes, peppers, bananas, custard apples,
chilies, Royal Tongan beer and so on... The city's jam packed
with shoppers dragging sacks of taro and yam back to their
dinner tables. Bottles of purple liquid labelled Vai LekiLeki
are described to us as 'good Tongan medicine' by one stern
trader. |
