My medical school is based in Apia, Samoa. Tomorrow, they will skip Friday altogether and jump straight to Saturday, therefore jumping into Australia and New Zealand's date/time line/zone thingy-me-bob.
Samoa changes time zones
The picture above crudely shows the line that separates today from yesterday. It 's just "Samoa" Samoa (formeryl known as Western Samoa) jumping forward into the West towards New Zealand, not American Samoa which makes it a little confusing.
I see the logic that Samoa does a lot more business with New Zealand than it does American Samoa, nevertheless it would make a confusing short journey from Pago in American Samoa to Apia in Samoa.
Whew.
Just two years ago Samoa changed to driving on the left sid eof the road instead of the right.
They are going through a lot of changes atm as they move forward into their development.
