Sweden sounds soooooo farrrrrrr awaayyyyyyyyyy....

7 hours behind Singapore.

So if I want to call a friend in Sweden, I will have to call them between 2:00 PM and 6:00 AM my time. This will be between 7AM - 11PM their time.

6,095 miles or 9,809 km distance between Singapore and Sweden.

A typical flight between Singapore and Sweden would have a flying time of about 12 hours, 11 minutes. This assumes an average flight speed for a commercial airliner of 500 mph, which is equivalent to 805 km/hr or 434 knots. Your exact time may vary depending on wind speeds.

The sun rises at 6:53 AM here in Singapore and sets at 6:56 PM.

The sun rises at 8:59 AM in Sweden and sets at 2:40 PM.

15 hours behind Singapore.

So if I want to call a friend in USA, I will have to call them between 10:00 PM and 2:00 PM my time. This will be between 7AM - 11PM their time.

9,417 miles or 15,154 kilometers distance between Singapore and USA.

A typical flight between Singapore and USA would have a flying time of about 18 hours, 50 minutes. This assumes an average flight speed for a commercial airliner of 500 mph, which is equivalent to 805 km/hr or 434 knots. Your exact time may vary depending on wind speeds.

The sun rises at 6:53 AM here in Singapore and sets at 6:56 PM.

and another thing why USA is worse, is because its across the vast Pacific Ocean...
