The author was a Palagi in Samoa. He enjoys being a foreigner as, since his birth he has been a foreigner everywhere he has been. Palagi have the ability to see their own culture in relation to other cultures. True Palagi also look behind and beyond what is apparent to see how the present has developed.

The Samoas have plunged into the 21st Century and it is fascinating seeing the Parables that were apparent in Samoa. A parable is a person, place, thing or event that leads to often a religious or spiritual truth.

It is refreshing to see two countries, the country of Western Samoa and the territory of American Samoa, who take seriously their philosophy, "In God we Trust." It made this palagi feel right at home.
