Someone in Korea said there is no such thing as Daylight Savings Time... could anyone verify that... I find it a little hard to believe. If so, when does the time change???

Korea does not currently observe DST but they have done so in the past.

I can't think of any place in Asia that changes the clocks.

They're smart. We don't need it at all. It's a waste of everything.

Those who want it will just wake up earlier. Good for old people.

Five years living under the no daylight savings time regime and I love it. Daylight savings time is such a bother back home.

DST is a real hassle back in Australia...some states don't have it...some start it early...some start it late...so you never really know what time it is anywhere else!! I don't miss it.
