Time Around the Globe |
| Knowing what time it is
around the world is important when you travel and are making reservations.
It is NOT a good thing to try to call a business in the middle of the
night because they will not answer the phone! It is also important
to know what time it is at home when you calling. My daughter,
Gretchen, would get very angry at me IF I woke her up. |

zones came about. How many time zones are there in the World?
Clue: How many hours are there in a day. |

visiting has the longest day while I am there? For the German
city, use Frankfurt. |

about 11pm in Amsterdam. |
