When I got back home from my latest trip to NYC, I was jetlagged and couldn't sleep. I called my American friend Joel and said it was difficult with adjusting back to Central European Time.
"You get hungry at the wrong time of day", I said. "Like now, it's 3 am and I feel like eating dinner."
"Well, order some Chinese food", Joel said.
"You have apparently never been to Sweden", I said.
"Don't you have Chinese food there?" he asked.
"We don't have open 24 hrs signs here", I said.
