Today is the birthday of the King of Tonga and also America's birthday (Independence Day).
The King lives on a different island from where we are and other than being a holiday, there were no festivities on our island. Our island, Vava'u, holds a lot of the younger generation who do not like the monarchy and are trying to move the country to more of a democracy. There was some rioting a few years ago here in Neiafu.
