5.0 out of 5 stars Great Travel Book, July 24, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Lonely Planet Samoa : Independent & American Samoa (3rd Ed) (Paperback)

This travel book on Samoa is full of information to help one maximize a trip to Somoa. It has some great descriptions of Samoan history and places of interest. I am worried though. I am worried that if ever go to Samoa I will not know how to properly act. The author of this travelogue time and time again warns the reader about Samoan cultural mores which should be followed. But I am afraid I will forget some of them and be a shameful traveler.

This review is from: Lonely Planet Samoa : Independent & American Samoa (3rd Ed) (Paperback)

This book has everything you need to know when travelling to Samoa. Nothing is missed and you should be able to plan a long or short stay in Samoa. Everything is as described in the book and nothing is really out of date. The only problem is that some of the maps lack detail to be useful, however quality maps are available in Apia.
