what they don’t tell you in the guidebooks:
travel abroad is an exercise in math.
convert celsius to fahrenheit,
Danish Normal time to Pacific,
kilograms and liters and kilometers
to pounds, gallons, and miles,
dollars to kroner to euros to rubles to dollars.
it will become jumbled in your brain;
you may begin converting
kroner to celsius, meters to Daylight Savings Time,
and Greenwich Mean to rubles,
but after all,
even on vacation,
time is money.
