I also saw that a couple hours ago. What I can't figure out is why NZ was experiencing sunrise *very* shortly after we had sunrise here on the U.S. Pacific coast. Shouldn't there be about 4 hours in between those two events instead of one (if that)?
I really liked the dancing dragons in Beijing, though.
