Samoa Switches Sides Of The Road For Drivers
As of Monday morning local time, the country of Samoa made quite the change to the way the country moves around. Instead of driving on the right side of the road, they decided to switch things up and drive on the left side. Not since the 1970s has a country shook things up like this, and we’re just glad we didn’t have a visit planned there this week.
To help things go as smoothly as possible, the country is taking a couple days off, as government officials felt that a two-day holiday would ease people into the traffic train wreck. There’s also a three-day ban on the sale of alcoholic beverages, because you know knocking a few back would not help things out at all. So far so good it seems, but that might only be because everyone is still on vacation.

Will 'Survivor' Head to Samoa?
Survivor, as we all know, is the reality show that just refuses to die. Even though we far prefer Amazing Race, Survivor just keeps on coming back. And there's no stopping it in 2009. If reports are to believe, plans are underway for the show's new season in Samoa.
Stuff.co.nz claims that veteran Samoan journalist, Apulu Lance Polu, revealed in a recent editorial, that Prime Minister Misa Telefoni called media owners to meet "a Caucasian man who claimed to have been a journalist representing an overseas company filming a popular TV reality show on CBS that claimed 100 million TV viewers worldwide."
The man told the gathered journalists that CBS’ advance team would arrive in April and they expected the local media to stay mum about what was happening until CBS made an official announcement about what was presumably "Survivor 19".
