Find out which are the first places in the world to celebrate New Year

Have you heard of Kiribati and Samoa? Not? So let's go: the first is a country from Oceania, and the second, an independent country from Polynesia. It's about them we're going to talk about today, and if you're wondering why we know that anyone in Kiribati or Samoa will be among the first people in the world to celebrate New Year's Eve.

The two countries are geographically "favored" in the sense that in these regions the time zones are the most advanced. Even with all that advantage, the Samoan government even managed to skip the day, making the end of the 29th mend at the beginning of the 31st - smart guys! Just to give you an idea, these two places already celebrate the new year when here in Brazil the clocks mark 8 am - Brasília time.

The first point on the planet from year to year is actually the International Date Line (LID), which runs in the Pacific Ocean west of Hawaii. Following this logic, the first place to change the year would be Antarctica, but when we think of inhabited and celebrated places, we return to Kiribati.

Now you know what are the first places to celebrate the arrival of a new year. But if 2013 is too good for you and you want to enjoy it until the last second, the tip is to spend New Year's Eve in Hawaii, the last place on earth to celebrate the occasion.
