Only in Samoa do men carry purses and pink backpacks.
- That’s right! In Samoa men aren’t afraid of a little pink. They think practically: “I need something to hold my stuff.” They then look around the house and use what is there. So what if it is a black sequin purse or a mini-sized pink Dora the Explorer back pack (for a 45 year old man). They flaunt their murses and man-bags with pride, and I like it!
Only in Samoa do all men know how to take care of a baby.
- Because of the tight-knit family structure, men have to take care of their sisters/brothers/cousins/nephews/brother’s daughter’s cousin’s sons and are brought up around babies. This makes for some especially cute moments on the bus.
Only in Samoa are men’s skirts shorter than women’s.
- The traditional puletasi (for women) is ankle length, as women’s dress here on island is very conservative. However, the men’s i’e fitaga hits just below the knee/mid-calf. For traditional dances, the men’s skirt goes even shorter to an almost micro mini length. Thus, this is the only culture I know, in which the men’s skirts are always shorter. Nothing like a little man-leg.
