		<description>Sobosobo, the curtains in the tourist resorts will surely fade with that extra hour of sunlight! (Or so some people believe).  Yes, it might mess up with timetables of flights, etc.  We&#039;ve had Daylight Saving in Oz for years and the computers just tell us to change the clock.

		<description>Good point Christine O_o Daylight saving affects the outer regions differently, with village folk less concerned about keeping up with the times and more about going on with living their lives. The clash of westernisation and the ol&#039; Fiji lifestyle is something I doubt will show in the media, though here&#039;s hoping someone will bring that issue to err light, pun not withstanding &gt;&lt;</description>

		<description>I think the whole concept of DST is flawed (for all countries) and I am concerned for tourists that such short notice for the introduction this year will cause havoc with international airline schedules etc.

I suspect, living in Suva now, it won&#039;t have much impact on me (except for changed schedules again for BBC world service and various overseas Sky channels). I was visiting Fiji  as a backpacking tourist in 1999. In the outer islands (e.g. Yasawas, Lau) it had little impact except for causing confusion over the times of arrival of boats/planes. In Levuka it was VERY unpopular. The town operated on &quot;official&quot; time but most people working in the town live in villages/settlements around Ovalau where time continued to be governed mainly by the sun. So people arrived home from work hungry for dinner, which still arrived at sunset, so one hour later. The schools in the villages were required by the Min of Ed to keep official time (and, being close to Suva, did not just ignore the directive, as happened e.g. in Lau) but parents were not geared up to the earlier hour.</description>
