Calling someone in Shanghai from Boston? Here's the time in both cities right now and the hours when you're both likely to be up. The difference changes when clocks change, so everything below is worked out live from your clock.

Aim for the hours when you're both between 8 AM and 10 PM. There are two good windows: the morning in Boston (the evening in Shanghai) and the evening in Boston (the morning in Shanghai). Every day of the year, 8 AM to 9 AM or 8 PM to 10 PM in Boston are safe bets.
Orbit shows the people you love in the colour of their sky, so you can see at a glance who's awake in Shanghai, Boston or anywhere else. It tells you the next time you're both awake, and you can leave a ping they'll see when they wake. It's free, with no ads and no tracking.
