Time!
I got a call this morning from my dear husband at 6:00A.M.!! He stayed up until midnight so he could talk to me when I got up. He thought we are 7 hours different, but we are SIX hours different from the East Coast, 8 hours different from New Mexico, and 9 hours different from the West Coast. So when I got up at 6:00 A.M., I looked at my prayer calendar and saw that today is the day to pray for the Wakemans. This is probably the only day IN MY WHOLE LIFE that I got up BEFORE Joe Wakeman! He is known for his long work hours!!
On the subject of time, it is now 16:45 here, and I am still secretly subtracting twelve.
Also, they write the date with the day first, then the month, and then the year. So it would not surprise them to see 14/10/06.
As to international calls, you have a code (001) that I must put in before dialing the USA, and the Czech Republic has a code (420) as well. Lloyd is unable to call me on his cell phone, so we are having a hard time communicating, since he is home only in the middle of our night.
I have a cell phone and buy minutes from local Vodafone stores. I give the clerk my phone and she/he enters the minutes.
After each call, I receive a message that tells me how many crowns I have spent on that call, and how many crowns I have left.
Text messaging is the cheapest. I can now read a text message (hint, hint) but have not yet learned how to send them. When I asked Lance to show me, he took my phone, put it half way to his nose, punched a few buttons, and said, "There, that's how you text message." Some time when he is feeling mellow, we'll try again!
