Why she came to New Zealand. Differences: houses, climate, dress (white not sacred in New Zealand). Left Samoa after her parents died. Involved in Samoan church community in New Zealand. Weddings, funerals. Samoan greiving similar to tangi. Samoans more helpful to each other. 'White Sunday' in October. Singing is important to her. Gender issues. Felt shy here even though she knew the language. Feels proud to be Samoan. She is a teacher in New Zealand as she was in Samoa.
