MrLTiger yes and those are the people who live near the town area. But all the rural villages of Samoa still live like this, that’s why you’ll find most of the fittest healthy Samoan are not from around their town area but from the rural part of Samoa. Because they don’t have access on processed foods, they are depended on what they grow and fishing.

Saying you are from Guam and using the name Kim jong un is unacceptable. Kim jong un is the name of the North Korean leader who threatened to annihilate Guam last year. Do not represent Guam.

Someone seriously needs to do a documentary about him. He WAS PCC. I remember every time I went to PCC, his parts of the show/polynesian village were always the best and most entertaining. I hope he is well. Anyone know if he's still at PCC? I live on the same island but haven't been to visit. I saw the video of the new revamped floor show "Breath Of Life". I personally thought it was boring compared to the old show, but I get that they're trying something new. The fire knife show and the comedy with the 3 guys trying to put out fire with their huge grass skirts were the most memorable out of the old floor show. Boat rides and Samoan village too. This guy was an absolute entertainer. Very, very good at capturing the audience's attention.
