Or more explicitly: Suppose I was born in one time zone (lets say GMT) at 12:01 am on the June 13th 1979, but now I live in another timezone (EST) which is 5 or 6 hours (depending on DST) behind. Can I say that I'm actually 30 years old TODAY at 6:01pm and not have to wait till tomorrow?

As an example, if you were turning 18 in Sydney but you were born in England which is 9 or 11 hours behind, you could start drinking alcohol without having to wait 'till you turn 18 in, in the same way that people born on February 29 might choose to celebrate their birthday on February 28, March 1, or only once every 4 years.
