Which countries would see the new year first?

in #travel7 years ago

Hello Steemians,

Let me be the first to wish you all a wonderful new year in advance. May 2018 bring us all lasting genuine happiness.

Due to the vastly differing time zones in different regions of the world, it is most likely some people would have a taste of the new year before you but do not worry we would all be in 2018 soon enough.

In this post I take a look at the first 10 countries that would see the new year. I am in dublin at the moment so the reference time for this list is GMT.


Samoa 10:00 GMT

Nice info @datageek. But where is Nigerian time here.

@ceepee I only considered the first 10 countries to experience the new year in my post. Everyone is in the new year now, Happy new year!

Hello @datageek. It is good to see you are back to steemit. I hope you are doing great over there.

Thanks @turpsy , its not been easy but slowly and surely I am adapting.

Dont worry, you will surely survive and do well.

nice info @datageek and amazing picture selection, a big thumbs up and resteem from my side and have a great new year ...

Glad you found it interesting to read. Happy new year

I will be on the plane to catch all the new years in the world. Except North Korea, they will have 1980 this year.

How do you intend to achieve that haha?, I agree North Korea is maybe a little difficult to visit right now with all the political instability.

Well, looks like a lot of champagne didn't helped at all. I only catch one new year and I don't even remember where and when ;)

Thanks for sharing! Interesting to know! :)

Wow ,thanks for sharing this,happy new year in advance

Happy new year from NZ ☺

Happy new year , you were one of the first to experience 2018.

Beautiful choices of pictures to say the least, one day it would be amazing to fly and stop at multiple destinations over the new year, so you celebrate New Year's multiple times haha :)

Otherwise good post, if you're interested in travelling, vlogs, self-development feel free to check out my channel, anyways I'll see you around!

Yeah that is definitely one for the bucket list, celebrating New Year's more than once lol. Thanks for reading my post, would check out your blog as well

Well I'm not sure about North Korea but good luck to you, most of the other destinations are awesome I have visited some of them myself.

I only made a list of the top 10 countries to experience the new year, I do not have plans to visit North Korea haha.

I start my openend Worldtrip in 4 Days and I'm sure that I will see some of the places in our post :)

Good luck with your trip. Looking forward to reading about it soon. Have fun
