Three numbers. The ones that decide the meeting.
When the world meets at work.
Read the day in both zones.
Crossing the border. Money, language, plugs.
Money changes hands at the border: Adelaide uses the AUD ($) and Bridgetown uses the BBD ($). Conversations can stay in English, which is official in both countries. Cars drive on the left in both, so rentals feel familiar.
