Kiribati Janet Kuypers 12/31/19 The beginning of a History web page article reads, in effect: ‘If you tell me you were born in Kiribati on December 31st in 1994, then you are firstly a liar, and secondly, you do not exist.’ Because of the change in time zones, the previously called Gilbert Islands — these Kiribati Islands — were divided up by the International Date Line — and the western portion was 24 hours ahead of its eastern side. So in effect, there were only 4 days in the week where business could even be conducted. The article explains that to correct this, the Date Line was “shunted” to the east so all of the islands were on the same day. But to do this, the islands had to skip the entire last day in December to pull this off. I’m always wondering what I should be doing on New Year’s Eve. But what if, on one year, there was no New Year’s Eve. What then.
