This post goes to people who love to travel the Samoan Island chains. Well last Thursday the 29th of December 2011 the Samoa (not the American Samoa) skipped Friday-no December 30 that means after Thursday midnight it is Saturday. The switch is aims to be closer to the Far Eastern times. According to Samoan Prime Minister Tuilaepa Sailele Malielegaoi, Samoa does more business with Asian countries so it is crucial to have closer time with them. As for the American Samoa particularly in Pago-Pago the time will remain the same since there is more trade with US mainland in the territory. Hope there will be no confusion with the travelers in this Pacific island chains.
