A friend of BTL sent the above photo after driving past Tiavi.
She was a bit confused when she came across it.
Her interpretation was it was either trying to tell her there was a village called ‘Ou, Ou’ ahead of her, or it was translations of the word GO in Samoan.

Four-year-old says, "What's a caesarean?" Eight-year-old answers: "Remember Mummy said you're a Sagittarian and I'm an Aquarian. Well, Renee is a caesarean!"
2. One evening many moons ago, when I was 8, a friend of mine came over to play after tea.
We were just finishing a lovely meal of stew with lots of gravy.
Dad as usual picks up a slice of bread and wipes the plate clean. Mum turns to Brian and says do you clean your plates like that? Oh no, says Brian, we wash ours.
