Another cool thing about Swahili culture is Swahili time: the day begins when the sun rises at 6am (and since we’re close to the equator, it really does rise at 6am all year long). Therefore, the system of time begins at 6am… so, for example, when it’s 7am, you actually say that it’s 1.

I took this photo at almost 4 in the afternoon… it took a few days to add 6 to every time, but once I got the hang of it, I liked it!

Fun cultural differences, eh?
