Being so far from Australia, Yanks often have a really tough time getting the
time difference straight. Even our dating system can cause confusion. Like most of the world, Australia uses the format day, month, year while Americans use month, day, year. 11/12/04 would be the 11th of December to an Aussie while a Yank would say it's November 12th. So if you're planning to meet, make sure you're both talking about the same day.
