Sun and clock in Denpasar (Bali)
Denpasar (Bali) lies about 5° west of the meridian its time zone is built around, so the sun runs late against the clock. Averaged over the year, solar noon does not arrive until 12:19 in standard time, which makes mornings darker and evenings lighter than the clock alone would suggest.

Calling Denpasar (Bali) from another time zone
A working day of roughly 09:00 to 17:00 in Denpasar (Bali) corresponds to 01:00–09:00 UTC. To find the equivalent window where you are, add your own offset to those hours: somewhere on UTC+00:00 would be looking at 01:00–09:00.
Taking a working day as 09:00 to 17:00 in each place:
