International Time Zone

Ok - this is really weird and hard to remember. We are about 14 hours ahead of Murray time. So, when it is 8:00 a.m. on Friday in Daegu, it is 6:00 p.m. on Thursday back at home. My mom and I are leaving Seoul on Friday at 2:00 p.m. in the afternoon (which would be midnight in Murray) and we will arrive in Nashville on the same day at 7:30 p.m. That is because we pass through the international time zone. So, we leave on Friday and return on Friday. When we were coming to Daegu, we left on Monday morning at 4:00 a.m. from Nashville and we didn't get into Seoul until Tuesday night so it felt like we lost a day. People who travel like this get jet lag because it takes them a few days to get used to being awake when they are usually asleep.
