...and going East = +1 hour.

Well if you go West to a time zone, and East to the same time zone, then you'd end up at the same place obviously... But, surely the same place can't be 24 hours apart from itself?

Help my poor little brain and tell me what happens :(

I think I see what you're getting at:

If it was 12 Midnight here, Tues night/Wed Morning, then is the other side of the world noon Tuesday or noon Wednesday, i.e are they ahead or behind us when they're directly opposite?

That's the only thing that seems remotely boggling to me about time zones.

No. But I also don't see how it can't be.... I know what I mean.

Go 'way :(

I shall think about it more in the morning.

But in day terms, when in one it would be Tuesday 7am, it would be Wednesday 8am?

They're only 1 hour apart.

No - there's no time travel involved. It's just the concept of it in relation to the 0 zone (here) on a 24-hour-clock in the same day.
