Pago Pago - Post Report Question and Answers
What do you wish you had known about this particular city/country before moving there?
Don't bring anything important (i.e keepsake or irreplaceable) to the island. The climate will destroy/ reclaim all. The longer you live on the island the less likely you can bring an item back with you. Everything gets covered in mold, rust, etc. Leather gets covered in fungus within days/ weeks. Photographs "melt" for lack of a better term. DVDs delaminate and stop working. Laptops corrode internally and die. Furniture will be infested with roaches. Anything metal will rust quickly. Bring only the bare essentials. Buy cheap items once you arrive and plan to leave lighter than you arrived. - Feb 2018
