Opps... It is not 6...

On our first morning in China, my roommate Hannah and I woke up before our wake up call.  We had left part of the curtains open.  we proceeded to get up and get ready.  The kicker here is that neither of us had the correct time and there was no clock in the room.  At the front desk in the hotel, there are clocks from all over the world.  Hannah ran down there to find out what time it was and it was only 5:30 AM!  We had already been up for quite awhile.  We figured that we got up between 3:30 and 4 AM.  So we patiently waited for our wake up call to come at 6:30 so that we could go down to breakfast.  We were one of the first at breakfast and we hung out.  We later asked Chengyan and we found out that all of China is under one time zone to make doing business easier.  Because we are out east it meant that the sun came up super early!  Here is just one of the main cultural differences that I noticed in China.  With all of our time zones in the United States, the sun rises at a normal time every morning.  So if ever going to China, remember to close your curtains, have the correct time, and not worry if you look outside at 4 in the morning and the sun is shining brightly!
