Fun fact: All of the wrestlers shown in the "Famous Samoan" section belong to the same family: the Anoa'i. Everyone is blood-related, except for Peter Maivia, who is considered brother by blood-oath of Rev. Amituana'i Anoa'i (the head of the family and not a wrestler), which means Maivia' family (including his grandson, The Rock) is an honorary branch of the Anoa'i. If you look at any Samoan wrestler, there's a big chance s/he belongs to the Anoa'i family! (btw, the third wrestler shown was Roman Reigns, not Mark Iupati's doppelgänger)

Hawaiʻian: Kālā (money, "dollar") .."kala", which sounds (very roughly!) the same, has an interesting "hidden secret meaning" similarity to "kālā": kala - Pukui-Elbert, Haw to Eng, 1. nvt., To loosen, untie, free, release, remove, unburden, absolve, let go, acquit, take off, undo; to proclaim, announce; to forgive, pardon, excuse; to substitute for (Kin. 22.13); counter-sorcery or sorcerer, proclamation, public crier, announcer; prayer to free one from any evil influence; to practice counter-sorcery. (( PPN tala )) ..so, with "kālā" you can (to some extent) "kala" yourself (and others) from "unwanted and evil" things,.. like poverty and not having a decent board to heʻe nalu. :) Aloha nui ʻoukou! :) 🤙

Barely relevant story: in Japan I recently visited the Little World open air museum near Nagoya and in the Pacific Island realm, the Samoan traditional houses needed some fixing, so they actually brought in a crew from Samoa that still built traditional houses with historical methods and around the site there were signs with information about what they were doing and posters with the bios of the crew and phrases in Samoan and a message that encouraged people to talk to them about their craft and country when there was a chance. They were working the whole time so we couldn't chat with them, but we heard them speaking Samoan to each other the whole time and we told them thank you for your hard work according to the phrase poster and they thanked us back in Samoan. I just thought that was really neat. I'd love to see Samoa some day.

JDouat7 Exactly 🤙🏽 and their time in Motonui is supposed to symbolise the time where the first Polynesians "paused" from exploring different islands and stayed in both Samoa and Tonga, the first Polynesian settled islands. So of course it's going to draw on the original islands

Hahaha! Malo lava! Loved the energy! And appreciated your brave attempt to pronounce the names as best u could... Much alofa ma fa'aaloalo (love & respect) for your efforts in making this vid! Manuia Soifua!

Why though? It's so close to the equator. Also they started in 2010, meanwhile other countries are trying to get rid of DST :D

I believe the airports shown at 3:45 on Savaii are no longer in operation, as when I visited the island I drove to Asau & Salelalonga Airports and they both had notices of closures.

Great video, man! Truly the best geography channel.
