Tuvalu-2
May 12th, 2022

Tuvalu is the least visited country in the world. When you picture a deserted paradise island, Tuvalu is it. It’s like out of dream.

It’s hard to spot Tuvalu on the map, because the entire country’s landmass is only twice the size of LA airport or even just a fourth of the size of Disney world. Tuvalu is also called sinking island, because it is sadly one of the first countries to be forecasted to disappear as a result of rising ocean caused by climate change. Tuvala has 8 islands in total. You can’t miss its amazing view of sunrise.

Communal living is the culture of Tuvalu. It seems as if there is sort of no bundaries there. The local people explain that at some point, along your upbringing you can end up calling one of your best friends your brother or your sister. And at that point that person litterally becomes a part of your family when you both grow up to have kids with your separate partners. You then all move in together in interconnected houses and raise all the kids as a community. Everybody shares, for example, when one family go fishing, they will distribute it when they come back. There is food that’s just made and everybody can come and eat and stay there. You could definitely experience a deep sense of community radiate from the entire country.

This island may not offer much but community they have and honestly that’s priceless. Let’s combat climate change together. Praying for the preservation of the island and its beauty.

吐瓦鲁是世界上旅行者最少的国家。当你想象一个荒凉的天堂岛时,吐瓦鲁就是它。就像是做梦一样。

在地图上很难找到吐瓦鲁,因为整个国家的陆地面积只有洛杉矶机场的两倍,甚至只有迪士尼世界的四分之一。图瓦卢也被称为沉没岛,因为可悲的是,它是最早因气候变化导致海洋上升而被预测消失的国家之一。吐瓦鲁共有 8 个岛屿。你可不要错过它那令人惊叹的日出。

社区生活是吐瓦鲁的文化,似乎那里没有边界。当地人解释说,在你的成长过程中,你最终可能会称你最好的朋友之一为你的兄弟或姐妹。到那时,当你们俩都长大并与各自的伴侣生孩子时,那个人就会成为您家庭的一部分。然后你们一起搬进相互连接的房子里,把所有的孩子当作一个社区来抚养。每个人都会分享,例如,一个家庭去钓鱼,他们会在他们回来时分发。那里有刚做好的食物,每个人都可以过来吃饭并留在那里。你绝对可以体验到来自整个国家的深刻社区意识。

这个岛可能提供的不多,但他们拥有的社区,老实说,这是无价的。让我们共同应对气候变化。为保护岛屿及其美丽而祈祷。
