Brisbane×Kiritimati
Three numbers. The ones that decide the meeting.
When the world meets at work.
Read the day in both zones.
Crossing the border. Money, language, plugs.
Currency is one less thing to think about — both run on the Australian dollar (AUD). Conversations can stay in English, which is official in both countries. Cars drive on the left in both, so rentals feel familiar.
