Samoa
I must admit that when I first read that my assignment would be in Samoa, I thought 'Where?' The only connection I made was with a small piece of dialog in "Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels".
Once known as Western Samoa, the Independent State of Samoa is a collection of ten islands in the South Pacific, roughly the area of Rhode Island. The population is a little below 180,000 which is not as small as my hometown, but it's not that much larger. They speak both English and Samoan (Even though they speak English, Volunteers still need to learn Samoan).

If you would like to visit me, please let me know! There are a few restrictions on time but most of the time visitors will be more than welcome!

Meghan,
I just came across your journal about your adventures in Samoa. I added a link to your page to a database I collected of Peace Corps Journals and blogs:
