I’ve been having a problem with bug bites lately, yesterday I woke up and my foot was swollen and aching. Lucky for me the doctor was on the island, so Erin and I walked to the dispensary after school. Only in Samoa to these things seem normal: - The dispensary also doubles as living quarters for the doctor when he’s on island, complete with a kitchen - There was no wait whatsoever, we were the only people there besides the doctor - Everything he gave me was free - They were out of pill containers so I got them in a little cup taped up with cottonballs - He pulled a coconut crab out of the back of the truck, killed it, and gave it to us for dinner - He gave us a ride home in the back of the same truck
