Lava
Saleaula Lava Fields, Samoa100 years ago a volcano erupted and a lava stream went through a village. All houses and fales were gone as they were made out of wood. Only the church remains... with lots of lava inside!! Apparently no one died.

Tatau
Samoa Cultural Village, Apia, SamoaThe word tattoo comes from the samoan word 'Tatau' where the art first started. This man has a full traditional tatau on ihmself from the hips down to the knees (the arm is not part of the cultural tatau). All this was not made with a machine but with a set of needle poked into his skin (or maybe even with a bone instead!).

Turtle Island
Namua, SamoaNamua is famous for the amount of turtles swimming in its bay. Locals do not hunt/fish them but protect them. That kid behind me had just jumped out of the boat, caught the turtle and tried to bring it back on board for few minutes. Very intense moment.

Beach Fales
Taufua Beach Fales, SamoaThe one speciality of Samoa are the Fales (which you can see on the right side of the picture). Those wooden constructions are where the locals take their siesta in the afternoon, eat, chat, do everything. Their house is based on this but are usually bigger and not this close to the ocean. But the tourists do sleep in there, and I did! Almost every night in Samoa.
