There is a universal law saying “Giving is Receiving”. Although this concept is known it is not always used. I am living in a country and among people that practice giving as a natural part of their life. It would be impossible for someone in Samoa not to share their food with you if you came close to their house during meal times. The fact that the word for your and mine is spelled the same way (lau) must have something to do with that we all share the same things.
There is also a total trust in that when you get old you will be supported by your kids. Your family is your life insurance and this vill not change in 1000 years in Samoa. Hope we can learn more from this in the western society.
We do understand that almost everyone like to go to the beach but you must give yourself the time to explore Apia.
The Season from December – March has often been called the rainy season or wet season and many visitors have decided not to go to Samoa because of the weather. The truth is that we have fantastic weather during this time and most rain comes during the night. The wind is less strong which makes it slightly warmer if you go inland. Most of our visiting guests like to sit right on the beach were it is nice and cool always.
