Time

Time is a mysterious thing.

Most people who read this might have noticed that they had to change the clocks. We didn't.

Sunlight savingtime or whatever you call it in English (zomertijd) has ended for at least the UK and the Netherlands. As we are heading towards summer our clock should have gone the other way. However Rwanda has decided not to do strange and difficult things like that. 1. It would confuse people, the sun rises around 6 AM and sets around 6 PM, why change it. 2. It would make the time differences with other countries more confusing. A quick look on the net shows that most African countries are not bothering with 'summertime', with a few exceptions.

countries with changing time.

Anyway. We are now two hours ahead of the UK and one hour ahead of The Netherlands.
This means 6 o'clock here is 4 in the UK and 5 in The Netherlands. Just so you know.
