Redelijk wat vakantiegangers zijn op zoek naar prijzen van sigaretten in het buitenland. Niet raar want zo'n 30% van de Nederlandse volwassenen rookt en aangezien de sigarettenprijzen nogal verschillend zijn wereldwijd is dergelijke informatie voor velen zeer welkom. Ik zie de vraag op mijn prikborden in ieder geval regelmatig voorbijkomen.

About 150 soldiers and police officers from Australia and New Zealand have arrived in Tonga following an appeal for help to restore order after riots.
At least eight people died when crowds ransacked much of the centre of the Pacific nation's capital, Nuku'alofa.
The city is now said to be calm but a state of emergency has been declared. The unrest was sparked by concern about the slow pace of democratic reform.

Next time you think about comitting street hoonage, remember this. All it takes is one foulup and you may inadvertently assassinate a soverign, possibly plunging an entire nation into darkness and chaos. We're not saying that's exactly what happened here, but police in Menlo Park, California are saying two members of Tonga's royal family were killed by an 18-year-old who was allegedly street racing yesterday. Wikipedia already has the dirt:His Royal Highness TuÊ»i Pelehake (Ê»Uluvalu), 55, and his wife, Kaimana Aleamotu'a, 45, as well as their driver, Vinisia Hefa, 36, were all killed in the accident. Ê»Uluvalu is the nephew of King TÄufaÊ»Ähau Tupou IV of Tonga.Tonga, if you were unaware, is a tiny country south of Samoa and east of Fiji, whose currency is the PaÊ»anga and whose government is known for being a bit flaky. The driver of the car, Edith Delgado (thanks to Fark for the MySpace find) was uninjured after broadsiding a Ford Explorer the two royals were riding in in her 1998 Mustang. [Thanks to prplhaze for the tip.]
