In Spain, digital clocks, written schedules, and programs are in military time. That is because these people stay up so late at night, something could easily be happening at either 9 AM or 9 PM. It is strange at first, but I am now used to it. It doesn't take long to recognize the reference points: 14 is 2, 20 is 8. You know. My favorite part is when we get to twelve past midnight, such as now, and my phone reads 00:12.
I did have one military time related disaster. I was taking a nap and set my phone alarm for 4 instead of 16. I woke up at about five, which is what time my class started. I ran to class in a very disoriented manner and was about 20 minutes late.
The best part is that no one speaks in Military time. They only write it that way.
