Dear Editor,

Re: Why I’m staying in Samoa 

Criticism is hard to take, believe me I know. 

I am currently on holiday in Hungary a country I was actually born in mind you, and dared to mention that one business tried to rip me off on a small transaction. The flack I got because of it was unbelievable. 

However if Samoa wants to attract more visitors instead of being offended, they should take note of what this lady said and learn to improve the nation of Samoa. Telling a foreigner to go home instead of looking at your own situation and facing up to the fact that what is being said is in fact true is a fool’s way of dealing with problems.
