No TGIF For Samoa This Week

LINDA WERTHEIMER, HOST:

Good morning. I'm Linda Wertheimer. Thank goodness it's Friday, unless you live in the island nation of Samoa. In which case, poof, it's Saturday.

Samoa loses its tourism pitch as the last place on earth to watch the sunset. You're listening to MORNING EDITION. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.
