I'm in Tel Aviv right now on a 9-day business trip. Israel is 9 hours ahead of the time-zone I'm used to in the United States. This means I'm only 3 time-zones away from being on the exact opposite side of the world. Night is day, day is night, and I'm always tired because I can't sleep when it's dark. It's honestly no wonder the people in this part of the world are always cranky and fighting.
