market in Nuku'alofa. Some of our usual buys include: apples, pears, bananas, watermelon, onions, cabbage, and samosa. Samosa is one of my favorite things to buy at the market. Its a little fried pouch, filled with curry seasoned bread fruit (like potatoes) and chicken. Its delicious!
We bought some lettuce for the first time yesterday and it was really bitter. So that wasn't the best buy, although it was only $2 TOP ($1 american dollar). So not a big waste. We'll try getting spinach next time. The food looks beautiful. Almost everything is locally grown although some things, like the apples, are imported from New Zealand.
We don't barter. Luckily most of the prices are written on little cardboard signs next to the food. So at least we know we are paying as much as the Tongans.

I am so glad you are eating healthy...you are so good.
The veggies look so pretty! I love your blog, and love to hear about your adventures in Tonga!!
Is their a particular reason that you don't barter? Is that a personal choice? Or a BYU field studies policy for Tonga? Do the locals barter?
