Mr Siaki

YUM! Here is a pineapple before it had been picked and shipped overseas.
Pineapples love hot climates and grow easily in Samoa.

Here is photo of a typical bus in Samoa. They don't have glass windows and they don't have bus stops. You just stand on the side of the road and wave them down!!

Here is a photo of Faiga with her baby sister



This is Faiga's dad who came along to speak to us

Mr Siaki came to our school to teach us more about Samoa . Mr Siaki told us that when he was little and he didn't wake up he got a smacked bottom!!! Mr Siaki use to go to school at 7am until 1:30 pm . With a spear he caught and stabbed fish and he cooked them up with an outside kitchen . Mr Siaki told us what food he liked. He liked pork, fish, coconut and taro.


He told us that there are only between 100, 000 and 200, 000 people who live in Samoa. Their favourite sport is rugby, just like us!


He has got tattoo's that took 4 days to get. His tattoo's start at his waist and end at his about his knees. The buses are really small there, they have plastic over the windows instead of glass and when it gets hot they roll up the plastic to let some air inside.


The buses are painted in bright colours.
