Road Switch

Many of you will be aware that Samoa is in the process of changing the side of the road that we drive on. Currently we drive on the right side of the road - the opposite of NZ – and most vehicles are left hand drive. Just before we moved over here the government announced that they would be changing over and now allow the import of right hand drive vehicles. That is why we brought our car with us. There is still a lot of resistance to this idea and all through this process no one has ever said when the change over is actually going to happen. Well, this week they finally announced that September 6, 2009 will be the big day and there will be public holidays for the following 2 days to help with the transition. So it looks like we will be getting an extra 2 days off next September!
