TIME
It’s interesting to note that in the Swahili culture the day starts at sunrise. This is in contrast to the Arab world where the day starts at sunset and in the Western world where the day starts at midnight. Sunrise in East Africa happens everyday at around 6:00 a.m. That’s because East Africa falls right on the Equator. So, 6:00 a.m. is “0:00 morning” Swahili time. 7:00 a.m. is “1:00 morning” (saa moja asubuhi) Swahili time.
