Timezones

First of all

HAPPY 2008 make something nice of it.

Kigali is more advanced then any other city I know.
We do not have daylight saving time (zomertijd), in stead we have a different time zone in our bedroom! One of the first days in our house the elctricity went out and the electric clocks were all 10 minutes slow. My conclusion was that the electricity was out for ten minutes. Could have known this was impossible as our guards are very quick with putting the generator on.

Anyway, recently we noticed our clocks were 15 minutes fast. So this was not posible just by a powercut. We changed them and a day later they were fast again. So now we have to check every day when we go to bed what the real time is and hope the alarm goes off roughly at the right time.

It is an exciting place!

Gives a whole new meaning to the 'relatively of time' or indeed, the 'relevance' of time! ( ; > Maybe Rwanda is in a different 'space, time continuum'!!!
