Sunday Morning Here in New Zealand / myLot

New Zealand

September 12, 2015 1:57pm CST

Did you know that New Zealand, where I live, is the first to greet each new day? Okay, I can hear some of you groaning, there she goes again. For some years now I've delighted in telling people this. Wait till New Year, I'll really drive you crazy. But it is kind of special, getting to each new day before everyone else. There are definitely benefits to being down here near the bottom of the world. So, here I am, sitting in bed with my tablet this Sunday morning - haven't made the coffee yet - gradually easing into my new day, thinking about how we may spend it.

That's one of the food things here, learning where everyone is. My geography is improving

We are now on Sunday morning, do you think we will ever "catch up to you"?

I think the best thing would be to travel backwards so that you can be younger. That's what I would do every year on my birthday. Then get double presents.

Wow, that's a really interesting fact! I didn't know that. I'd be telling everyone too! That's pretty special to be able to see a new day before other countries in the world. It's Saturday afternoon (3:05pm) here in North Carolina, USA.

Now that you mention it Val, I realize I know that New Zealand is the first nation to greet the start of the day but I believe I do not know which nation is the last. I have to check.

It's fascinating interacting with all the differing time zones isn't it

@valmnz Yes, it is. No matter at which time of the day you login, there is someone online.
