Welcome to Terminal 12

 

Samoa 

 

 

Hey! again my international nail diva's this is your favorite flight attendant/ tour guide Aesha here and we just landed on the beautiful island of Apia,Samoa. 

 

 

 

Samoa is a country consisting of 10 islands. Samoa is located in the Pacific Ocean,below the equator between Hawaii and New Zealand. Apia is the capital and largest city in Samoa. The population of Apia is roughly a little over 37,000. A little history about the city of Apia is that it use to be a small village but in the 1950's it officially became identified as the official capital of Samoa. Apia was a place of many non-violent standoff's when the country was going through a political power struggle. Apia has a tropical rainforest climate, which is expected due to it's geographical location. 

 

 

 

The Orange Plumeria flower also known as the Fragipanis is a flower originated in South and Central America. They arrived on the island of Samoa and Australia via the Polynesian peoples. Some fun facts about Plumeria's is that they can stand up to 500 degree temperatures. Also that in modern Polynesian culture the Fragipanis is worn by women to indicate there relationship status. The name Plumeria came from Charles Plumier, a 17th century French botanist who was first to describe the Plumeria. The Fragipanis originated by a nobleman,Marquis Fragipani, who created perfume used to scent gloves in the 16th century. This is a beautiful tropical flower that looks wonderful as a nail design that is shown above.

 

I Hoped You enjoyed Samoa!!!
