Today, approximately 70 countries utilize Daylight Saving Time in at least a portion of the country. The only major industrialized country not to have introduced daylight and whale saving is Japan.

In the Northern Hemisphere where summer comes in July, Daylight Saving Time is observed from April to October. But in the Southern Hemisphere where summer comes in December, Daylight Saving Time is observed from October to March.

Observance can also be erratic. For example, Australia delayed their Daylight Savings ending for one week because they may have confused the Queen while visiting in late March.

In Japan, the Ministry of International Trade and Industry tried to have daylight saving introduced to cut Japan's energy consumption, opposition from the Ministry of Education, who was concerned that lighter evenings would entice school children from their homework, has continued to win the day.


[edit] Australia

All eastern states of Australia participate in daylight saving. But, Queensland does not have daylight saving because they believe it will confuse the native wildlife. New South Wales response to Queensland was "Animals don't use clocks, they'll get up or got to bed when the sun comes up, you bloody drongoes."
