Snapshots of
paradise:








Tonga is called "the land where time begins" because it is the first bit of land the sun hits just across the International Date Line. That's why at sunrise on the island of Telekivava'u it's "today," and for the rest of the world (until the sun reaches Fiji) it's still yesterday.
