Well I’ve been in Samoa for a week now, so 51 more to go. :p
How do I find it? Well this first week has been pretty fun, going to beach fales, a couple of house parties, receptions and just busy with setting up here, like a phone and finding a place to live.

The thing I miss the most is the internet. As I am writing this, I have 14 minutes left on my prepaid net, which also only works in town, and not in the residential area where I live. My housemates don’t want to stump up the cash to pay for home internet so I’m shit out of luck on that respect. So far they seem pretty cool apart from that, and the house where I’m staying is pretty nice. It has a pool and lots of trees like coconut, starfruit, paw paw, etc. I’m yet to start work, so we’ll see how that goes next week. I’ve had a lot of beer already and everyone here is huge. It can be quite intimidating. That and the huge amount of stray dogs. Exercise needs to be done in early mornings or dusk because other times are either too hot or not enough light.

Overall it’s been pretty fun. With Sal coming that should be even better, and hopefully I don’t go stir crazy without the internet. Oh and a soccer game is really hard to find!!!!! Lack of legion doesn’t help. I will keep this blog updated but I don’t know how frequently.
