International date line: “Where does time begin?”
By the way, Tonga is the first state in the world to greet a new day every morning. How so? The international date line deviates from the 180th longitude between the 15th and 30th latitude especially for the Tongan Islands. So Tonga is right on the date line and right where time begins.
