    True. For some reason, it feels less like adding and subtracting than knowing it occurs later or earlier. I kind of like that.

    “The sun sets at 6PM, but they’re 4 hours ahead so it’s setting here at their 10PM and there at my 2PM,” feels more complicated than “the sun sets at 16:00 there and 20:00 here,” It seems clearer where they are on earth relative to the solar cycle. Also, if I visit them, it’s straightforward when I’ll be eating and sleeping, so maybe a day before traveling I eat dinner at 18:00 to ease into it.
