Videos!

I figure now that I've had real Internet access for nearly a month, some video uploads are long overdue. I didn't shoot much video during my Peace Corps experience, mostly because I was busy taking still photos. But I managed a few. Please note that all of these can be seen larger at my YouTube page here.

I hope you're well. Videos below.


The Savai'i House at Maluafou College in Apia rehearsing their siva for Culture Day 2009.


Akanese singing on the day I met her.


Me and Akanese playing Popo Mano.


Akanese and me playing a children's version of Go Fish.


Me and Akanese playing a Chick-ee-Bom (sp?).


Bored with Jenga, a couple of us built a tunnel that Scout inadvertently destroys. Hilarity ensues.


The 10.4 class (my English class) sings Herman's Hermits' "Henry VIII".


The 10.4 class (my English class) sings The Beatles' "Hey Jude".

Videos should be fond memories for you, Matt.

Not sure about the song selections there, British rock tunes. You do remember Samoa was a former British colony. I would have picked This Land is Your Land by Woody Guthrie and explained why he wrote it and maybe a Bob Dylan tune. Poor kids. :)

Thanks for the efforts,

Oh Matt, it's now time for you to come out of hiding and blog about the new chapters in your life! I'm still experiencing withdrawal symptoms since you stopped blogging...
