I have been travelling to two very different large cities in the past month, they are approximately the same size when it comes to population, but apart from that they could not be more different.
One city is Dhaka, the capital of Bangladesh, one of the poorest countries in the world, the other is New York City which does not need an introduction. In both places I stayed in very luxurious hotels with outstanding views over the city. My room in Dhaka was overlooking the city centre and there were eagles flying below me in the morning, in NYC my room at the Standard was facing the Hudson river and New Jersey
From my current location, I am living somewhere in between these cities, I lost five hours due to the time difference when I flew to Bangladesh.
Where does this time go? how can it vanish from my life? When going the other direction, I then gained six hours, so I had six more hours to spend in the city, six more hours of my life, a quarter of the days' total 24 hours.
Does this mean if you fly somewhere with one hour time difference, and the flight is an hour, time stands still?
