I was born in American Samoa. I lived there until I was 14 years old. To give some facts about Samoa is that it is a group of six Polynesian islands in the South Pacific. It is the United States' southern most territory. It is known as the heart of Polynesia. If you drew a triangle from Hawaii, New Zealand and Tahiti you would find Samoa in the middle. American Samoa became an unorganized U.S. territory in 1900. (http://www.ipacific.com/samoa/samoa.html)Samoa has 'one' of everything. It has one general hospital, one post office, one fire station, one police station, use to have one hotel in the downtown area, but I think they build another one in the west side of the island. There's one movie theater, one Kentucky Fried Chicken, one Costco (it's called Cost-U-Less), and one McDonald's. My mom thinks that the McDonald in Samoa is the busiest fast food restaurant in the world. Samoa has no traffic lights. It is one way going up and one way going down.
I used to go there every summer when school was out during junior high and high school with my brother. But when we got into college, we didn't get the chance to go there every year. The last time I went was four years ago after graduating from UW.
