Yesterday I went to one of the good shops (ie it occasionally sells soy milk, and if you're lucky brown rice), which is near my new house, thinking I'd quickly grab a few things before they closed for the day.
I only had fifty pa'anga on me, but I got so excited by the brown rice and Vita Weats that my groceries ended up costing more. Instead of telling me to buy only what I could afford or piss off, the very relaxed check-out girl told me that it was fine for me to take the stuff home and come back tomorrow to pay the remainder.
How awesome is that!

Hi Isa,
What a nice story! I'm going to Samoa next year to work in the National Uni of Samoa Library as an AYAD. Hopefully I'll get to visit Tonga while I'm over there. :)
Great blog!

hey dude, isn't it great when that happens? At my regular hangout, I often forget to pay, but then remember half way home. Raj always laughs at me and says he would have just charged me next time.
i think it's because you are a nice person and it comes across easily, at least to those who are receptive and deserving of a few warm beams from a radiant Isa
