It's a beautiful place with warm and kind happy people however it's quite religious due to the various missionaries that spoiled both Hawaii and Tahiti. Sāmoa has incredibly strict and enforced rules about what you can and can't do on Sundays... no swimming, surfing, hiking, etc due to "white Sunday" It's a very respectful ( faaaloalo ) and communal society. Back when I was a kid you could ride the bus all around Tutuila for 25 cents. I think it might e a buck or 2 now 😜

The matadors of Samoa are afraid of the Mafia controlled gigantic Samoan tarantulas because they are bad bad bad.

Close?

Been to the other side of the strait (which, since I was there, is now 24 hours ahead on the clock and drives on the left) but not to American Samoa. Apia is pretty nice! I've clocked up a few, but still have several Polynesian countries on my bucket list.

At first I thought you meant "a few" Samoan men. 😇

Regrettably no (not that having done so would be any way a 'win') but even so my mana is intact.
