Let's Do It Again
If you live close to a time zone border, you can celebrate twice, first on the one with the earliest time, then cross the border and celebrate again.
And if you cross the International Date Line to the east, you can party for another 24 hours.
25% Population
About 25% of the world's population will enter New Year at the same time when China, Taiwan, Malaysia, Indonesia, Singapore and Western Australia enter into New Year.
Half Way There
When India enters the New Year, half of the world's population are already into the New Year.
This is due to Asia's dense population.
