My Address

So technically when you send me mail, my address is PO Box 5411, Pago Pago, AS 96799.

Yes it's in the US postal system so it costs the same to mail things from Florida to Indiana as it does from Georgia to American Samoa..hint hint. Just kidding.

But that is not actually where I live. See we only have one post office here, so everyone has a PO Box and must go into "town" to pick up their mail and packages.

Now, my actual address if you were telling a cab or anyone else where I live you would say...

"The first white house on the road going up the hill after the community college before the Mormon church."

To which someone will say, "right beside the graveyard?"

As Michelle Tanner would you, "You got it dude!"

And somehow that person will find it.

It doesn't help that American Samoa does not use street names or numbered houses, so you just have to describe what village, what big landmark, or convenience store you live near. Its all about the description.
