Sorry to be late here. I attended a webinar , 2nd webinar sponsored by Politecnico de Milano of Milan Italy for 2 hours. It started at exactly 8 in the morning and lasted 10 am., after which , another webinar to be attended hosted by ASEAN India Research. It supposed to start at 11am after the Politecnico de Milano, but so sad , it is almost 12nn and no host yet. It is so depressing for this ASEAN India research that partnered the university where I am teaching , the University of Science and Technology of Southern Philippines (USTP) . May I know from India, what is our time difference? Sorry, friend, I will be back here and will do interacting you for the entire afternoon. I am so available in thee afternoon, Ph time. Bye for now and keep safe all. Love you guys. The image in post is the Virtual Roadshow for AIIP .

@rakski, actually their time in India 11:00 am ours 1:30 p it was so disguising. It took more than 2 hours and then while watching, braking news flashed from Manila Bulletin that our female boxer won.

@rakski ,they should give a reminder that 12:00 was subject to Indian time,please adjust the webinar time on the basis of local time.then people can notice time difference.

@marlina, I supposed to cancel that webinar, but our attendance were checked by our chairpersons to respect the Indian Researchers who wanted to partner with the university where I am teaching. On August 3, it will be from Malaysia. Globalization gives impact to the world of the academe virtually or f2f.

@cacay1 I have the habit to check the time zone, as we worked all the time with distant countries and we checked to be sure not to call people at impossible hours. There was an idiot from Brazil who always called us at 3 in the morning.

@LadyDuck, you are right, we were informed late. We just let our computers open for 2 hours, so stressing.

@Butterfingers, that is why. The time it projected 11 am and it finally started at 1:30 pm. No wonder my friend. I'm going to change the image of this host, image of the host from your country.
