This is how Tonga
is preparing for the new millennium. The
people are carrying big yams, called
'UFI, which are eaten only for special
celebrations. Come join us. There will be
a lot of food, we're not going to leave
you hungry. If the Y2K millennium bug
strikes, and shuts down the power
stations, Tonga doesn't have to worry
about stoves or microwaves to cook their
food. They can go back to cooking their
food over fires and in underground ovens.
There will be no worries at night either
because they can use lamps run by oil
from coconuts and their own homemade
torches. The people of Tonga can adapt to
any situation!
