The year 2000 begins with Pacific island celebration

(CNN) With a South Pacific breeze blowing in the palm trees, the Year 2000 reached Millennium Island in the tiny republic of Kiribati at the stroke of midnight. From cnn.com
==============================================

Also, New Zealand just experienced their Y2K about 3 minutes ago. (No Y2K computer problems seen : )

Kiribati's 1995 act of moving the international date line far to the east, so that it encompassed Kiribati's Line Islands group, courted controversy. The move, which fulfilled one of President Tito's campaign promises, was intended to enable Kiribati to become the first country to reach midnight on Dec. 31, 1999 and welcome the new millennium—an event of significance for tourism.
