Time Zone...

[Doggygirl]

If my math is right from the time zone calculator that someone was kind enough to provide during NHK, then Beijing is 14 hour ahead of CST here in the US. i.e. 5:47PM in IL on 11/10 = 7:47AM in Beijing on 11/11.

So, things are very close to getting underway!!

Sailor, look forward to your posts, and also anyone who is ringside, or able to see it on TV. I am spoiled rotten!

Does anybody know the time difference from EST???? I live on the east coast of the U.S. and It would be very helpful to me so that I can do my LIVE posts?

Eastern is one hour ahead of Central.

So Beijing is 13 hours ahead of where I live which means the compulsory dance is not going to start until 4:00am EST!!!!!!! It is going to be a long night. Just to let you know, the compulsory dance is the first competition of the day.

Wow!!

When it's all laid out like that Mathman, it's clear that us spoiled folks will have something more interesting than the world news to catch up on over coffee in the AM!!

See you all then!
