Time Difference

Internationally, Indonesia is +7GMT. That is if you follow the time in Jakarta.

In Bali, it’s +8GMT. That is if you follow the time in China.

A couple came to Bali. The husband goes to Jakarta for business all the time. So they assumed Bali is the same as Jakarta.

They were here for 5 days. First 3 days, they wondered why the hotel morning called them at 6am for breakfast (breakfast time at 7am). And then one day, they booked a shuttle bus to go to Kuta in the afternoon.

They missed it for obvious reason…

It took them 3 days to realize that they were 1 hour behind. It was not bad though, it just meant that they enjoyed themselves so much they forgot about the time.

They hired me the last 2 days they were here, and the wife said they were never late for any of their appointment.

Of course, I also didn’t forget to tease them, “Except????”

So, please note that Indonesia is very big. It has 2 time zones. Bali is +8GMT, not +7Gmt like Jakarta ^_^
