The Speed of Life

Samoan time

Things do get done here…on Samoan time. Samoan time is different to everyone. It could mean it is happening now; something already took place, or will take place shortly, or make sure you have a book ready because it will be awhile.
A trip on the bus can be a quick easy experience, or it can be a long journey that tastes place over days (when you were hoping for it to one by an afternoon).
I used to get frustrated when things would not get done quickly, and often still get a little upset. But I have learned that there is no point is being upset over things you can not control.
You can not control other people to get things done quickly, the shopkeepers to open the shops, or the schedule of the bus. Complaining just makes yourself upset.
The best solution is to enjoy life while you wait. Look at the beauty around you. You don’t want to let life pass you by.
Samoa is great because it makes you slow down your life.
This is one lesson I hope to keep with me forever in Samoa.
