After the falls we went to the Ba'hai (spelling?) temple. It was really cool because I had never heard of the Ba'hai religion before. The temple in Samoa is supposedly one of only seven world-wide.
For dinner we got fish and chips and ate them down on the sea-wall.
In the evening, Gwen (Miss Samoa) invited us to her variety show at a local bar/restaurant. We went and found out it was actually a filming for the second episode of the first Samoan Late Night Show. There were lots of performers; Gwen sang and was really good. It was also interesting because over half of the cast were fafafineis (trannies). We had fun during the show trying to guess which ones were actually girls. After the show Russ and Agnes dared me to get a picture with one of them. "Her" name is Ellen, and she's apparently a famous Samoan choreographer. She also has a really deep voice.
This is one of the hosts in their killer set. Not a tranny.

Benjamin,
ReplyDeleteThe last time I checked you hadn't posted so I just checked and had a lot of catching up to do!!! You are so lucky to be having the experiences that you are having. I loved the youtube video! the music was perfect for it.
You will have to let us know if you did anything for your birthday. I missed it but hope you had a good one.
We love you, even on the other side of the world!

Thanks. I hope your good too! Ya... sorry, my posting is kind of sporadic and random..
ReplyDeleteOh, and I guess I forgot to tell what I did for my Birthday.
Well Russ bought me a cake and the office sang happy birthday to me. Then that night we rented Bourne Ultimatum, one of my favorite movies, got McDonalds (a real treat here), and watched the movie on a big projector; it was fun!
Send my love to the family. Love you!
Benjamin.
