Slow driving is an art here. Since there is just one road that goes from one end of the island to the other, you go as slow as the guy in front is going. There's no good place to pass becuse the roads are so winding. Speed limit is 20-25mph most places.
Go to the airport on Sunday and Thursday nights to watch the plane come in from Honolulu. Everybody here either knows somebody who is coming in on the plane or leaving, so the airport becomes a big social gathering.
Day trips to Aunu'u Island (Ow-NOO-oo... rhymes with cow-BLEW-you) are a lot of fun. All the folks living there are really friendly and hospitable. It's a beautiful place too. If you're tired of the everyday city hum-drum then catch the boat over to Aunu'u and spend the day hiking and checking out the quicksand lake and the coves. Make sure you bring plenty of water and don't forget your snorkel and mask!
You can buy lots of colorful fabrics here. Fabric IS Samoa. The people here wear lots of floral prints and Samoan designs. So, part of shopping is checking out the latest prints and patterns. Buy a few yards, take it over to the sewing shop, have an Aloha Shirt made with a matching dress for the lady. Or have some throw pillows made for the couch. This place is an interior decorator's exotic wet dream.
