Daylight from 1am (setting-out time) to 4pm? That means for a night owl like me I won’t be even seeing the sun at all, unlike Singapore!! o.o I can’t imagine waking up at 4pm and wondering why it’s dark again! But it’s good for vampires if they ever exist.

Hello I am actually commenting on your site!
It’s unnatural to wake up before sunrise and get to school only to see it rise sometime before assembly. Our dear government is quite sick.

Have fun this year kid. I took my ‘A’s last year and I must admit, it was really tough concentrating with Claymore and Hayate No Gotoku around.

*shrugs* for the temperate countries, it’s more of a common thing like.. ” it gets dark early in winter, and there are longer evenings in spring/summer..” well, in our case, it does get a darker a little earlier during the nov-december period. not like we’d notice much, with all the rain these two months bring. Well, good luck in the year ahead, and i look forward to more dorama and reviews on your preferred series’, Darkmirage.

When I was in Japan a week or so back, I used to wake up at about 10 and set out then, with the exception of the last day in which I work up at 5 am to pull a sola reference and stand in the chilling winds with nothing but a thin jacket to keep me warm while waiting for the sunrise. I agree, timezones really make things complicated. Having to get used to having the sun set at 4 or 5 pm and then returning to Singapore jarred my sense of time.

There was an article I read somewhere that mentions the fact that Singapore/West malaysia is actually running on double daylight saving vs the rest of the region. That some sort of explains why we are just one hour behind Tokyo despite the obvious gap…

On the other hand, it’s just as jarring in the summertime. I remember that I used to wake up and go outside sometimes at 4 in the morning and it would already be light out.

Basically, the opposite of the winter conditions where the day only lasts like 6 hours – in the summer the night only lasts around 6 hours. :)

Of course, it’s nearly the same here in California, since we’re at a similar latitude. For some reason it always surprised me more when I was living in Japan, though. I wonder why.

When I first came to Tokyo back in late Spring 2006, I never believed that the sunrise/sunsets can be very early. Imagine: at 3:30 am, dawn might have just started, and it takes about 1+ hour to get the sunrise. And yes, sunsets are usually around 5:45 pm.

I’ve been to Vietnam and the Middle East, and to be honest, I can’t honestly think why Singapore chose to torture its citizens by not allowing a full sunrise to shine on them for work. Psychological factors, I’d say.

Ah, welcome to 1984.
