Talofa,
I went to the meating Tuesday night and how friendly they all were.
I went with a couple preaching on the south east of the island. There i met a brother that was in the year book. It was a really nice cultural experience, and being with them i saw tribal villiages that most tourists don't see for there are wild dogs and local fees to pay for entering peoples land usually.
Everything is different here and it is so hot and humid, i bought a hand woven fan off a street kid. I stand out as I am tall and white, some of the children in the villages really stare. People live off the land here, its amazing as people do not have the pressures of work here, they grow there own food and go fishing too. Taro, Breadfruit, Papaya and coconut is popular, most families have a few pigs too and chickens. i met one family who are studying and they have moved to another part of southern eastern Upolu (oopoloo) as there home was completely destroyed. There daughter valiala was a little injured on her leg, there 6 sons are well.
I may visit Savii (Savahee) but i don't want to miss the boat. I join the boat around the 15Th of this month. Locals know of the Sv Southern Cross.
Thank you for your Comments, i read them all. I will upload some more photos but until then, look on my face book page,
FaaFa Tai Tofa (thank you good by)
