21. Mexico does, where I have family

Sat Nov 2, 2013, 07:55 PM

Nov 2013

but when the US changed the date for the switchover a few years ago, Mexico didn't and it caused some confusion about what time I would be arriving that year. And yeah, I understand the longer days, but DST causes the kids waiting for the bus in the dark for the first nine weeks of school and then the whole not getting dark until after 9 PM seems a little extreme. I much prefer Standard Time.
