I picked up my Speech Festival puletasi today. In Samoa, people get special matching outfits made for big events: performances, weddings, funerals, etc. All of the Samaoana teachers working on Speech Festival were given matching fabric to have made into a puletasi. Because the high schools are a bit more relaxed on teachers' dress, I don't wear puletasis all the time, so having a Speech Festival puletasi makes me feel Samoan and truly part of a Samoan-kind-of-family...and I kinda like it.
