Meh, I have a cook islands girl out thurr who likes me alot, I'm not just gonna leave her - im cook islands maori and papa 'a/ pakeha! ;-D It is paradise, and the clothes that you have, the things you own, the computer you use - is from different parts of the world. The people that come to the cook islands fund the very 'western' lifestyle that is so apparent on Rarotonga. Think about it!

rarotonga was nice, anyone try to climb the needle?
This place has no economy.
But it's simply, pure, and beautiful.
Like everything in life, there's tradeoffs.

The Islands have has a very stable economy...it's just that it's a very small one! But I couldn't agree more about the place being pure and beautiful

anyone know what is the music from the video? it sounds great. (I am reading the book an island to itself by Tom neale , thats how i came to see this video, its a very interesting book)

The music is the Welcome Song from Te Arekarioi Nui, performed by the Cook Islands National Arts Theatre.
I hope you're enjoying the Tom Neale book. For those who don't know, it's an amazing story of how Tom survived alone for 15 years on the remote island of Suwarrow in the Cooks. I can't recommend it too highly.
