Ethiopian Time

Ethiopians keep time a bit differently than we do.  I wake up at 1, I go to work at 2, take tea at 4, lunch at 6, go home around 10 or 11, eat dinner around 2 and sleep around 5 or 6.  Can you figure it out? 

The day begins at 6 am, not 12.  It makes perfect sense.  The sun rises about 6, so that is when our day begins and so 7 o'clock our time is therefore 1, 12 o'clock our time is 6 and so on. 

At first it was really confusing.  I've figured that if we're speaking English, chances are good that we're using western time.  But to clarify I know we're talking western time system if am/pm are used.
