It might seem that a car ride to get to your destination is not as important as the trip itself, but for many of us, this is actually the case. If you’re in the United States, you must think about how long it will take you to get there.
One of the biggest factors for a person thinking about their trip and how long it will take from the moment they step out of the car to the moment they arrive is what time zone the destination is in. For instance, if youre in California, it will take you longer to get to your destination than if youre in New York, even if you are on the exact same time zone as each other.
Although a lot of people say, “I’ll get there in under an hour.” This is not the case at all. In fact, getting to your destination is often quicker than you expected. And that’s because the time zone of the country in which you are traveling is a major factor to how long it will take.
I find the time zone concept is fascinating. Especially when you consider that the US is in the eastern part of the world, and the time zone of North America is the same as New Zealand. It makes sense! Its not like you could go to Paris and expect to arrive in the western part of the country.
Time zone isn’t a factor for most of us. But for some people, such as those in France, the time zone has a huge impact on the time it takes to get to their destination. In fact, the time zone has an impact on every single aspect of your life.
I don’t know about you guys, but I still get a bit tired of the way we Americans talk and speak English. We all have a tendency to jump around from topic to topic like a buzzard. But the French are different. They talk like they’re listening to a conversation, not a monologue. They seem to take the time to really understand each other in real time. I have to say I’m surprised that the French seem to think they understand each other like I do.
Like the British, French speakers seem to think they understand each other even if they don’t, because we do. If I asked someone to repeat what she said, she would probably repeat it wrong. But when I ask someone to repeat what I said, she would probably repeat it right. That seems to be the way we treat each other in the US.
While I’m not French, I can understand that French speakers are very good at repeating what they hear in real time.
In a culture where we are constantly repeating things, we are, again, very good at repeating them wrong. We assume that we understand the intentions of every other person we speak to. Sometimes, they’re right, sometimes they’re wrong, sometimes we have no idea. Sometimes we’re even wrong. When it comes to taxi drivers, we are, again, very good at repeating our mistakes.
Paris is very good at doing so.
