A large country with different time zones

Haha yes i live in Sydney, there are many different time zones in Australia ranging from 30mins to 180mins. There was also daylight savings approximately the time u posted this discussion. One hour forward. One hour less sleep!

Yes, it so happens that I live in a country that has many time zones. Most of the time I don't even notice, but spending time on the campaign trail makes for a hellish time of it.

You've been to the US, so you know we have tons of time zones, but it's a very big country. Alaska and Hawaii also have a couple or more zones past the contiguous (attached) united states. Take care

My country the Philippines has this standard time zone:
UTC/GMT=plus 8 hrs. I always feel that we are always ahead of time making it very uncomfortable to communicate with my sister in Berne,Switzerland which is behind 7 hours. I pity her kids when they come home. From Berne to Frankfurt by train which is a very cold place. Then Frankfurt to either, Dubai,Bangkok or Singapore. Change of time zones and abrupt change of weather.Then plane again to Manila then plane again to our province,then either landtrip for 2 hrs or fast craft for 2 hrs.When our mom died,they had to travel fast.When they arrived home,my nephew's nose kept bleeding non stop from Manila to the province.It was a very sad sight to see. My sister and her husband were sent to Berne by their office to stay there for 3 years to work on the Nestle processing plant.
Today,my brother is leaving for New Zealand also for work. When we were in Bangkok and Indonesia,I was having a hard time with the 1 hour difference with waking up in the morning.We are 1 hr ahead. When we went to Australia,Huhuhu. We only stayed for 7 days,there was no time to adjust. Our trip was via singapore in the very big plane. Our companions which were seated in the plane's second floor got very air sick. Adjusting to new time zone is very hard.

My body clock has been all over the place! Been to China-Vietnam and then on the other hand, to the other side to all parts of the USA, from the UK.
So, sometimes I don't know if I'm coming here or going there...haha!
Best thing to do, if you travel like you did to LA...is to try to go to bed the smae time you normally would in your own country. Can be tiring but stick with it. Then, you should wake up at a more reasonable time.
However, I do suffer when I return from Vietnam or China, as I wake at all hours for about a week!
Best wishes....

Although there is only one China in my time zone,but there are differences
between the east and the west,Take the Shanghai and Urumqi,the sun has come out in the side,on the other side of the day or black,it is clear the east and the west of the schedule is not the same,have the opportunity to experience the charm of the time difference.

I live in the U.S. and don't personally have too much trouble with the hour time difference between the time zone on either side of me. I really haven't done 2 time zones in a while, but the last time I did that, I didn't have too much trouble with that either.

However, flying from the Central Time Zone to England (GMT) was 6 hours and since I slept on the plane the last time (thanks to good drugs ) I was all right. The other 2 times I flew to England I was a zombie the first day and a nap was totally in order!

Flying back after a week (or 3) in Europe also required a lot of work getting re-adjusted to Central time, but the last time I slept on the way back - because I was catching a cold and it was easier.

So, I've really suffered from jet lag and it wasn't easy unless I had slept on the plane to get back into the grove.

It was, no doubt, much easier to be on the new time if you took a ship overseas, but that isn't the way to travel these days.

yes, in this country there are several time zones.

Eastern (latest) Central, Mountain, Pacific

I think that is all of them.

The real trouble comes in when some of the areas will practice what is called Daylight Savings time where the hours are further adjusted up or down an hour
while other areas do not practice it. what a mess.

I experienced jet lag when I flew from the Eastern USA to Spain (and back again)

oh,jusus, russia has 12 time zones,I come from china, only five.but,i don't exprienced jet lag obvously.

My country is also big enough and she have 4 time zones from the east place to the west place. The different place under in different time zones,their life timetable is very different. Our whole only use one kind of time, use the capital time zone's time as the country's standard time. So many interesting things come out, when in 8 o'clock we had go to class,but my friends were not get up, many times we must to count times to call to others.
