   The day before? Who does that? I thought they used European rules for   
   daylight time, otherwise, there's no point. It's ridiculous for a country   
   that close to the equator to have daylight time anyway.   
      
   I knew they observed daylight time but I never heard about a last minute   
   rule change like that; outrageous.
