As an early riser, PST forever!
I vote we do a half hour compromise.

- tlrobinson 9y agoFun fact, Nepal's timezone is UTC+5:45.
- walrus01 9y agoAfghanistan is +4:30 , which is different from both Iran and Pakistan
- Y_Y 9y agoAfghanistan also borders China, and the time jumps three and a half hours at the border.
- seanmcdirmid 9y agoMost places in Xinjiang have an unofficial local time that they use in addition to official Chinese standard time. See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xinjiang_Time https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xinjiang_Time One can imagine in Kashgar the ridiculousness of Beijing time is even more noticeable than in Urumuqi.
- walrus01 9y agoDoesn't really affect things though since there is no road through the Wakhan corridor to reach China, and no road over the mountain pass. If you want to drive it is a very long way via the karakoram highway via Gilgit in Pakistan. Travel from AF to CN is generally done by flying to Dubai, Delhi or Islamabad first.
- WorldMaker 9y agoMany historic timezones have 15 minute offsets. In the era before American railroads synchronized timezones to the hours, Louisville, KY, as one example close to home, was often UTC-5:45. (It's GE's fault that Louisville and consequently most of the US I-65 corridor wound up EST rather than CST.) I don't expect to win arguments that the city should return to UTC-5:45, but I make them anyway to amuse myself.
- stretchwithme 9y agoAnd that's the important thing. :-)
- prakashk 9y agoIndia, UTC+05:30, all through the year. Despite having widely different climate zones in various regions of the country, there is no "Daylight Saving Time".
- drbacon 9y agoYour resolve is weak!
- birdmanjeremy 9y agoI would accept your compromise in the winter, but I'm keeping my 8:30 sunset in the summer.
