Here are a few things that you might find interesting if you haven't been to Europe:
5.6.98 is June 5, 1998...technically it means the 5th day of June, 1998.
14:30 is 2:30pm...since Europe does not distinguish between am or pm, their time notations run continuously, they do not start over with 1 at 1:00pm. So, just subtract 12 from 20:45 if you'd like to know its 8:45pm.
