If you are going to urgent business in European countries, it is useful to first clarify the time gap. Suppose a man from Yekaterinburg flies in February to negotiate with representatives of a French automobile concern. The time difference with Paris for the capital of the Middle Urals is 4 hours in winter and 3 hours in summer.
Time Meridians
The difference in the dial indications helps the Russian traveler a little and does not interfere much. Flights to Paris take place with a transfer and an inevitable overnight stay in Moscow. The country of Russia was theoretically located in 12 time zones. Directively, the space between Kaliningrad and Kamchatka is divided into 11 zones.
From whatever city the citizen of Russia is going to take a voyage on the French side, the capital of the immense Motherland should be taken as a starting point. Accordingly, it is practical to consider the time difference between Moscow and Paris: two hours in the winter and one hour in the summer.
The seasonal discrepancy is simply explained. In Europe, there is a law on daylight saving time on the last Sunday of March and winter time on the last Sunday of October. In the spring of two nights, the hands are rearranged one hour ahead. In the fall at three in the morning they move one hour back.
Reality gap
The easiest time is in China. There, throughout the territory, the Communist Party introduced a single time. But ethnic stratification in society led to the calculation of the time of Urumqi - two hours behind Beijing. That is, in Beijing time, the flight to Paris is announced at 9:00, and in Urumqi time it will be 7:00.
The time difference with Paris and Moscow for China is:
- in winter - 7 hours Beijing time and 5 hours Urumqi;
- in the summer - 6 and 4 hours.
It will not be difficult for people from the European part of Russia to get used to the changed regime of the day. The body tolerates three to four hours of adjustment without strain. Salesmen from the Asian region of the country need to prepare for a riot - to overcome a sleeping state at work noon and increased activity at the dawn of a European day.
