using System;
using System.Globalization;
class MainClass
{
public static void Main()
{
DateTime date1 = new DateTime(2012, 4, 10, 6, 30, 0);
Console.WriteLine(date1.ToString("G", DateTimeFormatInfo.InvariantInfo));
Console.WriteLine(date1.ToString("G", CultureInfo.CreateSpecificCulture("en-us")));
Console.WriteLine(date1.ToString("G", CultureInfo.CreateSpecificCulture("nl-BE")));
}
