0:00

The other night, I was up late, trying to put together some travel plans with Brian's parents. Eventually, I crawled into bed. I looked at my digital alarm clock and did a double-take. "0:00" is what it said! My first reaction was that there was something wrong with my clock. Then I realized that it was just 12:00 am/midnight. They use "military time" or a 24-hour clock here, and I bought this alarm clock here in Belgium. Although their method of telling time is going to take some getting used to, I have to say that there is a definite positive aspect to using the 24-hour clock: no am/pm mix-up when setting your alarm!
