Samoa Village Accommodations Apia

... maybe I would think it has more to offer than mere necessity but that was also the only reason I was there. Out of necessity. The first couple of nights I stayed a 40 min walk outside of Apia in a village called Faatoia, in a cluster of fales run by a kind family. It was interesting to see the dynamics of a Samoan family. The father was often absent while the children worked around the property. The mother, unsurprisingly, was busy in the kitchen most of the time ...

... Planet ne mentionait ça nul part et c'est bien dommage. Si on avait su qu'il fallait à chaque fois repasser par Apia, on ne serait pas rester là bas les deux premiers jours. Après Apia, notre première destination en direction de la plage était Lolamanu, un coin populaire au Sud Est de l'ile d'Upolu. Notre première experience dans le bus s'est plutôt bien passé. Tout le monde avait une place assise et le bus n'est parti qu'avec une quinzaine de minutes de retard ...

... or two...) at the Beach Bar next door. Before I knew it my holyday plan changed and it was now decided to rent car with one of the girls to explore Savaii while Anders was busy diving. So the next morning I paid for my two nights and took the bus back in to Salelologa with the others and waved them off at the ferry before heading on in search of a rental car. This was easier said than done and two hours later we decided to find a ...

Malo! Well, everyday life is upon us. I guess it was bound to happen sooner or later... The day starts early here since the heat makes it virtually impossible to sleep after 9 am; usually we're up, having breakfast by 8 or half past. If we're up for it we might take a bus, or a taxi, into town and do some grocery shopping and get updates about the "outside world" at some internet café. (No TV at home I'm afraid so sometimes we're a little behind ...

... inside and hot water in the shower! We moved in Feb. 29th and the first night here was rather scary actually. We have had the fortunate to come to Samoa during the rainy season, which usually means a couple of quick showers every now and then. Not so bad actually, clears the air for a short moment. This night was different though; I didn't think it was possible to store that much water up in the ...

After a huge 10 hour flight, 4 hours in LA Airport and another 10 hour flight, which consisted of me pretty much being uncomfortable for the whole journey and Vic being fast asleep from LA onwards, we finally made it to Samoa. I guess I did manage to sleep a little bit on the plane between LA and Samoa but lots of babies crying nearby didn't help. Stepping of the airplane we were greeted with the smallest building I've ever seen ...

... history, but it is in good condition and fitted with a tompion, which is frustrating the efforts of the gunner to load it with a banana. Finally, since naval gunnery is an important branch of the science of artillery, I include the following panoramic photograph which shows the entire Samoan navy. One must suppose that the guns have been cleverly concealed. For those ...

When I was working in New Zealand I went on a week holiday to Samoa. I had always wanted to go to Samoa as I had previously worked in Fiji and Tonga and I had heard good things about Samoa. I arrived into Apia airport late at night after leaving Auckland. Samoa is the last country to the date line so I technically gained a day when I went from Auckland to Samoa and lost one when I came back. I spent my first ...

... through in time. We had a great visit. The weather was really nice, the car was great, saw lots of cool stuff and Josh and I got tattoos. We spent the first night in Apia to get a little sleep in AC then it was off to Vailoa. The first night some of the members of our Peace Corps committee brought dinner and officially greeted mom and Josh. We stayed in the village until Monday so that Josh could present the principal with all of the tools that he ...

... map at every school in the country. I think I will put the maps on a gridwork so they can be put on the wall without the projector. Can anyone suggest a product that I can seal the maps with that won't yellow in the sun? Ray and Craig worked on building counters for the computer class. Looks really nice and has 15 work stations. Next, Ray is going to work with the year 10 design tech class to build chairs for the ...
