China and Singapore
The whole of China is on one time zone, like Beijing, Shanghai, and Hong Kong.
What about the rest of Asia?
Indonesia
Jakarta is one hour behind Singapore. (The sun sets earlier there.)
This suits Asia because they like their early morning markets, and climbing volcanoes, starting at dawn, to be at the top for the view or sunrise you have to be up there by 5.
So, if Braddell Heights Advanced Toastmasters club is holding online meetings from 7 pm to 9.30 pm that is 6 pm to 8.30 pm in Jakarta.
The USA and UK
I remember when I was a school children in the UK and Kennedy was killed in the afternoon, we watched the announcement with blank screen and mournful music in the UK in the evening.
USA
New York is in the Eastern time zone, five hours behind London, England.
New York is in the same time zone as Atlanta, Baltimore, Boston, Detroit, Miami, Orlando, Philadelphia, Toronto, and Washington DC.
Also Montreal and Ottawa and Quebec in Canada. Also Caracus.
Singapore
Looking at this chart I can see that my Singapore club meetings are on the same time zone as Perth in Australia, Shanghai in China, Hong Kong, Malaysia, the Philppines and Taiwan.
I can also work out that a blog written before midnight in Singapore in English is likely to be read by English speaking people in Perth and Shanghai, Malaysia and so on.
