Dar es Salaam×Jerusalem
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: Dar es Salaam uses the TZS (Sh) and Jerusalem uses the ILS (₪). Language shifts too — English in Dar es Salaam, Arabic in Jerusalem. Be careful behind the wheel: Dar es Salaam drives on the left, Jerusalem on the right.

When's the best time to schedule a meeting?
