As I write this, it is 7th August 2011, a Sunday in Apia, Samoa. It’s about 5pm and the ceiling fan directly above my head is creaking pretty lousily and ominously with every rotation. The publication date for this will probably be a lot later, basically whenever I get a chance to connect to the internet again. Hopefully on a Monday when I head into town.
The 1st week has passed both quickly but has also felt like an age. It’s a contradiction that is quite in line with the rest of the contradictions throughout Samoa. I’m still on orientation and there are times of awesome and times of boredom. But having explored my area a little bit more today, I’m starting to like it a lot more. I was planning to write a lot more but there’s a guy waiting for me now and I can’t sit here and type this one out as much as I would like. So it is to be continued…
