New time change...

Try Scotland! Been there during a month of June: at 9pm I was feeling like it was 7! the most funny was to be at 4.30 am in the streets, in full daylight!!!

Wimp.

Let me put it this way, if darkness outside = night then our longest "day" last for 2 months (not kidding, and I'm still living quite a bit south form the polar circle).

My first reflex when seeing last years 4 July pictures in the Gallery was

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

FORGERY. Then I remembered that the sun goes down a bit earlier in most places.

The wierd thing about DST is that it's the summer time that feels most fitting to live with, not the "normal" time.

Where are you from in Sweden? I've been to Göteborg between december 27th and january the 2nd and was expecting the days to be horribly short, but they were actually "only" two hours shorter than in the south of France. Göteborg is in the south of the country, though...

Yes, that's right! But for the southrons, it appears to be quite opposite, if I understood correctly!

Luleå.

There's about 3 hours of sun during the darkest time (compared to 7,5 hours in Göteborg) and about 1 hour between sunset and sunrise in the summer.

The difference is quite telling when you see live sports-events from southern Sweden during the summer.
