Samoa under 20s visit history.

The Samoa U20 team got a glimpse into the history and heritage of the city of Fukuoka when they visited the Fukuoka City Museum yesterday. 

After a briefing by the Museum management the team was taken for a full tour of the museum.  The most popular stop was the Golden Seal that was gifted by the Chinese Emperor during the Hun dynasty to the City of Fukuoka. “I was surprised and amazed that something so small was so powerful around 25 AD, that was during the time of our Lord!”said Rayhan Laulala.  ‘What I found amazing was that 20 years ago the site where the museum now stands was all water,’ said  Ray Pese.

Team Manager Namulauulu Leota thanked the management and staff of the museum for their hospitality and the opportunity for the team to learn about the history and heritage of the Fukuoka.  The team sang a traditional Samoan song as a token of appreciation.
