John Ansell stranger Registered: 02/21/14 Posts: 2 Loc: New Zealand	On second thoughts, the emphasis should be on the first syllable: KIH-ruh-bahss.

Kiribati was the first to see the sunrise on the new millenia; at least that was their claim as they have a huge expanse of ocean territory near the date line.
