In Ethiopia, It's Still Seven Years Ago

Did you know Ethiopia runs on its own calendar, about seven to eight years behind the rest of the world? It has 13 months - twelve of 30 days plus a short 5- or 6-day month called Pagume. Ethiopians also tell time differently: the day starts at dawn, so "1 o'clock" means 7 a.m. Land here and you time-travel.
