The governor giving the welcoming speak, as, very respectefully, all groups are seated with crossed legs on the grass (chairs? here, nehh).
Tahiti performance... this guy reminds me sooo much the bad lion of Disney's "the Lion King", when he gets his pride together...
VIP at the closing ceremony...
... And it is getting dark...
The misterious polynesian island of... San Diego... (being Samoans the biggest export of this country, I believe this was a group of ex-pats that returned home for the festival)
Gift from American Samoa to the delegations... of course Wahoo was on the list!!!! (I love Wahoo! It is like a tuna, but much better!!!)
And when finally was dark, after lots of talking, gift exchanges, memory to the deads (not everybody made it home, not for violence, this was by far the most friendly and peaceful event ever in the history! The paper also recorded zero arrest during the festival... maybe because very few were working, including police, but, oh well)
Fireknife performance with 100 samoans! amazing!
The most spectacular fire works EVER!!! as you can see the explosions were very close to the ground, and the wind was also quite strong... i wonder how many got burned, but it was so amazing that none complained. Plus most people have to idea of what are the security requirements for fire works...
