Times Around the World : If It's Midnight in New York...........

We are using images of people associated with their given countries for this particular entry which compares times around the world when it is midnight in New York, which is plus-five Greenwich Mean Time.

From top, we have the late French mime Marcel Marceau, though I suppose we could have used Jerry Lewis (the American actor is very popular in France) or Asterix the Gaul as well, former Turkish Prime Minister Suleyman Demirel, who is still alive at age 88, and Mexican actress Selma Hayek, best known for playing artist Frida Kahlo.

Here we go:
