Hi Harold,
Wow blast from the past. Thanks for the compliment. I do actually remember you. I remember you carved all our names on those coconut vases using your dental drill! We talked about you for as long as those vases lasted! Hope you are well. Cheers

Dear Omega, I have just heard about the terrible tsunami and I wanted to know about your family. We met when I stayed to your family resort in savaii, at Christmas 1998, with my ex boyfriend Emanuele. We both experienced your warmfull and charming family atmosphere.After having asked Moelagi suggestion, we both had traditional tatoos made by Peni.We are always very proud of our wonderful Samoan tatoos. Please report all my thoughts to Moelagi and your family in this terrible moment. I hope to hear from you and I send a big hug from Switzerland

You see in Samoa there are a lot of unforseeable circumstances that arise. One of those was the tattooist's family from ovearseas showed up for family meetings and all. So there had to be days off while the tufuga dealt with his family duties. On top of that Mother's day followed and then the final week was full on tattooing everyday until it was completed on Saturday. On this Saturday I dropped the two victims off to the tufuga's house, hung around to serve breakfast and then went back to our host family to help with the preparations for the samaga ceremony. Samaga is the ceremony that formalises the completion of the tufuga's work and where he lifts his taboos and bans and let's the new pe'as out into the wor...
