<strong>Western Samoa best answer:</strong>
<p><i>Answer by rex</i><br/>I gave up on it but... just in case you haven't heard... Samoan girls have a tradition of "recreational lying" - effectively tall story telling. And they suckered Margaret Mead right down the line. Non of her description of Samoan culture is at all reliable..... its a fantasy concocted by her "friends".</p>
