So I thought that all time zones were based off of hourly differences from Greenwich Mean Time (GMT), where the East Coast of the US was behind by 5 hrs, Germany was ahead by 1, etc etc etc… However, I thought wrong. The local time here in Nepal seems to be about 5 hours and 45 minutes ahead of GMT. How does that work? I guess, if you think about it, it makes sense, because even with time zones, part of your time zone is getting darker earlier or later than other parts. Maybe Nepal decided that 5 hours ahead of GMT was too little (sun rose at 4 am or something) and 6 hours was too much (it wasn’t light until 9am). Strange. If anyone knows the real reason, please chime in.

Now you know why we were always so confused about Detroit! They should have been 45 minutes behind East Coast and we knew it....
