Savaii
The SWAP team are in Savaii for this long weekend (we've unilaterally declared this weekend a long weekend BTW!)
Standby for some stories of beaches, blowholes, turtles and waterfalls from the team next week!
Oscar the SWAP dog didn't make it through the night. Sad. At least he had have a dozen friends in his last week.
We've got our SWAP corporate uniform under way. Ben's going to puke that he'll have to wear a skirt and beads whenever he's got a camera in his hands but them's the breaks when you're shooting for SWAP in paradise - eh?
Our first meeting of next week is with Digicel talking technical. Then we'll talk about sponsorship if they can do what we want. SamoaTel didn't turn up to our meeting this week and hasn't contacted us. Typical Samoa! Digicel corporate colour is RED, mate. Like a fire engine. Like vodafone. It woiuldn't take much to rebrand ourselves RED, mate. Like a fire engine too. We'll see what eventuates but I wouldn't say no to letting Digicel being our primary sponsor and whacking a red logo on all our gears.
The weather over here is cooling off. Nights are still the best in terms of temperature but the days can even drop below 30 degrees. Sweet!
