I am 10 hours ahead of my home, my family and my friends. I am 10 hours ahead of everything I presently consider the “real world” and 10 hours is just enough to make communication a fail. Most of my teammates are from the east coast or the south, so their people are 7 hours behind, 2pm here is 7am in New York, 5pm here is 10 am in Maryland, 6:30pm is 11:30 in North Carolina and by then we are on our way back to the apartment, EST skype dates completed and people are just starting their day in California. God has a reason to everything and I’m sure there is one for this too. If I really think about it none of my family has ever used skype, my friends all use it from their cell phones so I couldn’t see them anyway. I guess it just feels like being the only one without a letter after mail call.
Once we get to Asia the time will be 13 hours ahead of home and everyone else will be the ackward 10. 10am there will be 9pm in Cali and noon will be 11pm, and central America is hardly a difference at all. Right now its 10 pm here, the light outside is fading but it is not night yet. It just dawned on me that I am in the former soviet union. wow!
