This week we are in the tiny Pacific island nation of Kiribati. Guess what? It's nation is in all four hemispheres!!!! Pretty cool, but also kind of crazy when it comes to time zones. Kiribati is made up of many very small islands and only has a population of about 120,000 people.
One of the first things I learned about Kiribati was that it isn't pronounced how I thought. the "ti" makes an s sound.....
This video explains a lot about Kiribati
The official tourism video
Roadblock
(Refer to that Geography Now video for an explanation of how for a couple of hours each day, Kiribati can be in three different days at once)
The roadblock for this week is to take the time to notice the sunrise at least 3 times this week.
Detours
Fish and weaving
A pandanus mat
The people of Kiribati weave a lot, and they have lots of fish, so this task is a combination of the two.
Kiribati Food
Seafood is the main staple of the diet in Kiribati. Coconut, taro, breadfruit, pandanus, pumpkin, papaya, and banana are also grown there. So this week eat some seafood, or if you can't stand that, some coconut or banana or hey, breadfruit if you can find it.
