Upolo Island, Samoa
Hello.
Im in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, hanging out on a large lava formation known as Upolo in a country named Samoa. I got here a few days ago, early in the morning and took a cab to a remote village with my 2 friends in order to stay in a small fale, a traditional hut on a gorgeus beach. The village, Saleapaga, doesn't have any TVs, but it does have plenty to look at. About 10kms down the road is some of the best snorkelling in the entire world, filled with huge expanses of coral, multicolored fish and crystal clear water. The stars and moon illuminate the stars every night as my travelling companions play Uno under a single incandesent bulb outside of our hut. The people look at you as if you are a strange white ghost, but are some of the most sincerely nice humans I have ever, ever incountered. We are back in Apia, the closest thing to a city now, staying for two nights so we can catch a ferry to another secluded island called Savaii. Life is tough, I mean slow, but relaxing and awesome... in fact, why am I in an internet cafe? peace, update soon
love
teepee
