It shares borders with Myanmar to the west and north, Laos to the northeast, Kampuchea to the east and Malaysia to the south. Topographically the country is divided into four distinct areas: the mountainous North, the fertile Central Plains, the semi-arid plateau of the Northeast, and the peninsula South distinguished by its many beautiful tropical beaches and offshore islands.

Paris vacation rentals

Paris  is not only one of the most beatiful cities in the world but also the most visited and probably the most romantic among others. It’s fame doesn’t fade away when you go on with your visit. More time you spend here, more you want to start over and over again. At the end it’s a pitty not to have more time (or money) to stay a day longer in this magical city. The city which charm is hidden in each corner, each seat, or simply in each one of its coffees.

Unlike the other great European cities, Paris doesn’t have a “defined center” around which the city expands, rather all Paris is a “center”.

This is because it hasn’t been absorbing the small cities that were on its outskirts, but that these have kept their administrative independence. Though the frontiere between the city of Paris and its surroundings is purely imaginable, the fact, that the main city has remained “locked up” for such a long time, has caused this unique ancient aspect of the capital. This is why it’s enough to cross the street to find yourself in a place where the time does not exist. Where – despite the eternal crowdiness and it’s own life-beat style you will have the sensation to be in a place that has not changed during decades or even centuries.

Dallas travel, time, sunrise sunset

by the city’s Texas-sized welcome, fast-paced nightlife, and vast number of
restaurants – more per capita than New York City. The city is also home to the nation’s largest arts district.

Dallas is a sophisticated, hospitable, and determined city. Dallas means big
business but play is equally important. Dining, shopping, music, the arts,
sports, and outdoor activities are as important a part of Dallas’ identity as
closing that big deal.

Dallas

Dallas lies on the eastern edge of the flat Texas plains with the famed
cattle town Fort Worth just to the west. Dallas is located in the Central standard time zone (CST). The areas between and around these 2 cities are known as the DFW Metroplex.

There are many things to see and do in the area. Dallas has the dubious honor of being the place where the 35th US President, John F. Kennedy was
assassinated. If you are interested in seeing the crime scene you can venture to a lovely area known as Dealey Plaza in the historic West End. Tourism Mecca awaits you. There is plenty to see and when you need a drink or something to eat there are plenty of restaurants from which to choose.

US time zones, time zone map

In the US time is divided into nine standard time zones covering the states and its possessions, with most of the United States observing daylight saving time for part of the year. The time zone boundaries and DST observance are under the authority of the Department of Transportation. Official and highly precise time keeping services are provided by two federal time agencies: a Department of Commerce agency, the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), and its military counterpart, the United States Naval Observatory (USNO). The clocks run by these services are kept highly synchronized with each other as well as with those of international time keeping organizations.

US time zones are:
Hawaii-Aleutian Standard Time (HST)
Alaskan Standard Time (AKST)
Pacific Standard Time (PST)
Mountain Standard Time (MST)
Central Standard Time (CST)
Eastern Standard Time (EST)
Atlantic Standard Time (AST)
Samoa standard time (SST)
Chamorro standard time (ChST)

Standard US Time Zones are currently defined at the federal level by law 15 U.S.C. §260. The federal law also establishes the transition dates and times at which daylight saving time occurs, if observed. It is ultimately the authority of the Secretary of Transportation, in coordination with the states, to determine which regions will observe which of the standard time zones and if they will observe daylight saving time. As of August 9, 2007, the standard time zones are defined in terms of hourly offsets from UTC.[1] Prior to this they were based upon the mean solar time at several meridians 15° apart west of Greenwich (GMT).
