Also read about the legend of the famous chief Roymata, and how he brought peace to the warring tribes. The rest of the story tells of the mysterious happenings after his death.
Vanuatu - A Canadian's Perspective - Ever wonder what life would be like on a tropical island? There is a big difference between having a vacation and actually living there. The author of this site spent five years living and working in Vanuatu, where 170-mile-per-hour cyclones are a fact of life and lolling under a coconut tree can be deadly if a coconut happens to fall off. The author describes and contrasts life in Vanuatu's city and country areas and includes a number of photographs and links, not all of which may be appropriate for all members of your family.
Vanuatu Online - Vanuatu means "Land Eternal," according to this page, which claims to be the largest and most up-to-date Web site on this nation. There is a link to Vanuatu Weekly's online edition and information on the use of Vanuatu as a confidential tax haven for financial and estate planning matters. There is also a description of several of the islands, including Tanna, home of a smoldering volcano, wild horses, and traditional villages.
