Daylight Savings Time

Did you know...

"Although South Korea does not currently observe Daylight Saving Time, the country did adhere to DST from 1948 to 1951, 1955 to 1960, and 1987 to 1988." (taken from http://www.webexhibits.org/daylightsaving/g.html)

and...

"Talks To Reintroduce Daylight Saving Time: South Korea’s federal government will bring back daylight saving time as early as May 2010 as part of its green growth policy...The South Korean government reviewed reports on daylight saving time before it decided to reintroduce the schedule to the nation. The idea of bringing back daylight saving time is part of an attempt to stimulate green growth, which is one of the government’s key economic policies. It also plans to encourage greater bicycle use and lower carbon emissions as part of the green growth plan." (taken from http://www.timeanddate.com/news/time/south-korea-daylight-saving.html)

Who knew you could just switch back and forth like that??

Soooo, for those of you who call or video chat, we're now only 13 hours ahead of you, for now at least.

I feel 1 hour closer already, don't you? =)
