New posh resort to open "inspired" by the American tv series "Survivor"

Say goodbye to the "Fa'a Samoa"

So far it only exists as a website ... And we have seen many of that kind before ;-) So why that noise about it? Samoa is certainly not going the way of Thailand and the Faa Samoa has already survived a lot more. Including the Survivor series which nobody here in Samoa took any notice of. All this is hot air only. Bing2bong, have you ever been in Samoa?

Among other obstacles, Samoa, and indeed the rest of the South Pacific, is simply too far from Europe to "go the way of Thailand" (or that of Hawaii).
