Surprise three day weekend

Saudi Arabia has finally come to its senses and decided that weekends will be on Friday and Saturday, rather than Thursday and Friday. It was something that had been speculated about for long, but such changes can take long to put into action. Or not, the change was announced with 6 days notice and just two days before the start of the weekend it was decided that this weekend will be a three day weekend. 

So swift can decision making be when not living in a democratic country!
