Sha'uri -

New Zealand! How friggin cool is that? You are definitely the farthest-away person I've ever come into contact with. I've done some hunting around, and found that although it's now 11:30 pm Thursday here on the US East coast, it appears to be 5:30 pm Friday in NZ.

I was able to find some interesting info on world time at www.worldtimezone.com, www.worldtimeserver.com, and ww.travel.com/hk/region/timezone.htm

Please forgive the possibly horrendous stupidity I'm about to exhibit, but - I was taught these Northern/Southern hemisphere distinctions in grade school, are they true?
1) since we're going into winter here, you must be going into summer, 2) my water goes down the drain counterclockwise (I just checked this one); yours goes down the drain clockwise.

I know we're supposed to be chatting about Bob and all, but, well, I'll trust that Bob would find this exchange amusing.

Regards,
Franna

Very hard to tell! Mum said if I wanted to try with a basin of water I may as well do the dishes at the same time, so I politely declined!! I know that our weather systems (high and low pressure) turn opposite to those in the north so it's very likely the water does too!
