In Reply to: Dont you have animals? posted by trisha on Tuesday, 5. December 2006 at 13:25 Bali Time:
at our house Trisha & they have been bought up with daylight savings.They have learnt in their lives that after Mum & Dad get up that we shower,get dressed & eat breakfast - after that they are all
fed before we go to work.When we get home we relax & when it is starting to get dark the animals are fed & bought inside for the night.
Our family pets are very clever but they can't yet read a clock.Like most dogs,cats etc - they can't tell the time.Animals go by the sun so when it is light they wake up & when it is dark they sleep - but as domesticated family pets they also learn behavioural patterns such as what happens in their own household.This has been happening on earth for 1000's of years.
I have lived in SA most of my life & heard all the arguments about fading curtains,kids not going to bed etc.I know the majority of my WA family & friends voted against it but in a democracy - the majority rules & we gotta accept it.
Sorry you don't like it but it seems you are stuck with it for at least 3 years.From a business persons point of view it sure makes dealing with WA a lot easier.Anyway no matter what you are still way closer to Bali time than us here in SA - so be thankful ! And you also still have direct flights there.
