Oh Lani, such a beautiful post - and I learned so much about time and my own perception of it. Thank you.

I was very confused when I first lived in Germany - I was used to saying half-past two (or 'half two' for short) for 2.30, but in German 2.30 is 'halb drei' (half three, meaning 'half TO three'). It still confuses me now - so I have absolutely no idea how I'd cope with Thai time!

Fascinating post. Thank you!

What a beautiful post, Lani! The time that resonated/ hit home for me was the one when someone becomes stuck, and while time outside passes and years go by, they remain there, frozen.
