Journaling! What Time Should I Call (or Skype or iChat) You?

Suppose one of your friends recently moved to London, England. You are planning to talk on Saturday. Your friend said, "Call me at 3:00 p.m. London time."

In your Investigation Journal answer:

1) What time will you call your friend, in your local time?
(Local time is the time in your hometown--and everywhere in your time zone.)

2) How did you figure that out?
