Reminder to stay safe

Me and my gf are on our first night in Apia, Samoa and have just been followed by a group of young men.

We left a restaurant and noticed some people walking behind us but didn't think too much of it. As we walked back to our hotel they crossed the road at the same points as us and turned down roads whenever we did. Our hotel is on an unlit street about a 10 minute walk down. We started walking down and saw them coming behind us so went into a shop on the road to try and be safe. They walked past and stood on the road corner outside seemingly waiting for us. After a few minutes passed we attempted to walk past but they began following again so we circled back into a restaurant across the street where they continue to wait on the corner Thankfully the waiter at the restaurant we explained the situation to him and he told us to wait in here and he called us a taxi. As we were in the restaurant we saw them walk past the window back up from where we had come. Anyway a few minutes passed and the taxi arrived and we made it back to our hotel successfully

Just wanted to post my story as a reminder to everyone to stay safe and don't be afraid to ask for help if needs be. And shout-out to Samoa locals, every single one we've met has been absolutely lovely are some of the most friendly people I've ever met
