This is probably a stupid question.......

I'm from the states and we don't use the 24hr clock to tell time......when I am in Ibiza will everyone speak the time the same way as they write it??

Ex - for 22.30 will they say "Ten Thirty" or "Twenty-two Thirty" ?

I told you it was stupid......what can I say I have never been out of the US

I'm from the States and I've never noticed that people talk in 24 hour time. Things might be written in 24 hour time but I think people generally say "ten thirty".

The best solution is to learn to handle both!

(also, get used to kilometers and Celcius! It's not hard... your car's got km/H on the odometer and your weatherman always quotes the temp in C after Farenheit!)

just the same the time as you normally do and everyone will understand you (unless they don't speak english of course!).

when speaking spanish i've never used 24 hour clock and to this point never had any problems.

I never wear a watch when over in Ibiza....

If it's daytime, I should be sleeping (except Mon @ DC10 & Sun @ Space)

Just need to remember the day of the week, which can be challenging towards the end of a fortnight

It's all about relaxing and not worrying about the time for me...

Sandi, I never heard any Uk peeep neither a spaniard saying twenty o'clock

dj, you'll be fine, the 24h it's only used when you book hotels or flights or similars
