The First Countries to Enter The New Year 2011

Before people in most countries have woken up and eaten their breakfast on December 31st m any countries will have welcomed the New Year on January 1st! In fact, some countries are already some hours into the year 2011, as I write! Others will soon follow. The following are ten of the first countries to celebrate the arrival of the new year.

(1)   Kiribati – The city of Kirimati in Kiribati entered the New Year since Fri. 31st December 6:00 am Eastern Time. Kiribati is eighteen (18) hours ahead of Eastern Time in the United States. Kiribati is an island in the central

(2)   Parts of New Zealand – How fitting that the second country to welcome the new year has a name that sounds like “new zeal.” That is the spirit! At the time of writing (9:30 am ET) they are already approximately three hours into the New Year.

(3)   Antarctica – I am not sure who will greet the new year here. Antarctica is already two and a half hours into the new year, greeting the new year at 7:00 am Eastern Time Friday.

(4)   Marshall Islands– This island has already marshalled its “troops” into the new year approximately one hour and a half ago at 8:00 am Eastern Time Friday.

(5)   Norfolk Island – Folks on this island will see tomorrow when we are still living in the today. They welcomed the new year about 8:30 am Eastern Time.

(6)   Parts of Australia – They may be down under but they are on top as far as greeting the New Year early. At 9:00 am Eastern Time the new year was ushered in in parts of Australia.

(7)   Russia – Russia is beating the rush to the end of the old year. Russia will see the new year at 10:00 am Eastern Time.

(8)   Japan – Japan is ahead of many countries in terms of production but it is also ahead in terms of time. It can rightly be called a country of the future. Japan will enter the new year at 11:00 am Eastern Time.

(9)   South Korea – Fireworks will be going off in South Korea from 11.00 am Eastern Time.

(10)  China – The most populated country in the world is among the first set of countries to see the new year at 12:00 pm Eastern Time.
