Tonga Master Carver Attends World Expo in Shanghai, China.

Leonati recently left the idealic isles of Tonga in order to travel to Shanghai, China to participate in the World Expo 2010. Accompanied by his wife Anni, he will spend the next 6 months based in Shanghai as a representative of Tongan Culture. Both Anni and Leonati will provide demonstrations of traditional Tongan handicrafts to visitors at the World Expo, in addition to selling their high quality woven and carved items. Whilst away, Leonati Junior will be overseeing the market stall in Vava'u and will continue to produce carvings for customers during the whale watching season.
