It is a new. Everyone is happy. The world is celebrating but did you know that the world never enters the new year all at once?

According to experts, it takes at least 26 hours for the whole world to enter into the new year.

Australia, New Zealand and Japan were among the first countries in the world to “see” the new year. As they were celebrating, it was about 5 pm Sunday in East Africa.
