what timezone are you in

7aken · 06-07-2006 11:36am #1

there seems to be a lot of ex-pats who use this forum and it got me thinking of time differences. im gmt+4 which confuses me slightly cos im only 3 hours ahead of ireland. i know it has something to do with daylight savings but not entirely sure. so, what timezone u in?

Ruu_Old · 06-07-2006 2:02pm

GMT (-6 Central Time US and Canada)

motormatic · 06-07-2006 3:02pm

Eastern (Ontario, Canada) so I'm 5 hours behind Ireland.

another one, if you leave gmt heading east, how far will you go before you reach a gmt- ? as i said, im gmt+4 and am near the equator, but how much further east could i go before i would reach gmt- ?

Eastern Time! 5hrs behind home

Norinoco · 12-07-2006 5:44am

Well its GMT +8, 7 hours ahead of home at the moment. Caused massive confussion at home when I moved from Melbourne (GMT +10) to Perth and Daylights saving occured about a week later!

Still getting calls and text messages in the middle of the night!!!

Currently I'm living GMT +1 which is easy being so close to Irish time.

Once you go though the international dateline you'll be gmt-

I went through it going west from Chile to New Zealand and it's confusing alright as we lost an entire day. It was the 30th of October when we left Chile and the 1st November when we landed in New Zealand. No Halloween for me that year

Tokyo + 8hrs but I'm convinced this country is running in the wrong timezone.

Sunrise at 4.40am and sunset at 7pm?? I'm heading up to the city office after this to complain.
