Samoa is a group of nine islands in the South Pacific ocean known for its beauty. Most Samoans grow and catch their own food using traditional methods like fishing and cooking in an underground oven, as supermarkets are scarce. Samoan culture is expressed through beautiful artwork featuring dark colors and patterns, and through traditional dances like the slap dance, clap dance, and fire dance. Daily life in Samoa involves building stick-and-leaf houses called fales, and children attend school to learn subjects like math, social sciences, and English, even while living on islands.
