Living in the Northern Hemisphere is still such a new experience with the seasons being opposite to what I'm used too. Little things that amuse me include, over the weekend Canberra lost an hour by going into day-light saving time. Whereas, here in the Netherlands we gained an hour! That extra hour was very nice too, BTW! The upshot was, that instead of an 8 hour difference between Amsterdam and Canberra, there is now a 10 hour difference. And just that little change is making the world of diffence with contacting family and friends back home. A little aside: North Queensland doesn't go to day-light saving time so there is a 9 hour difference between there and here. North Queenslanders are such radicals!
