More than DST, what is enjoyable is not having the sun at the zenith at 12pm. In France, it reaches the zenith is at ~1pm without DST and ~2pm with DST. This makes for nice sunny evenings. I now live in Japan, where it's at the zenith at ~12pm all year long (no DST), and it's ridiculous. Where I am, the sun is up at 4:45am and down at 7pm in the summer. In the winter, the sun is up at 7am and down at 4:45pm.

Was in hokkaido early this month and this was a hellish pain in the arse, the sun was up at 6AM and down at 4:30PM. As far as I could tell, the japanese don't generally start out at 6AM (the hotels I went to had breakfast and check-out no earlier than 7 or even 8 and "rush hour" — where there was such a thing — was definitely after 8)
