- Samoa and Tokelau have skipped a day - and jumped westwards across the international dateline - to align with trade partners.
As the clock struck midnight (10:00 GMT Friday) as 29 December ended, Samoa and Tokelau fast-forwarded to 31 December, missing out on 30 December entirely.
Samoa announced the decision in May in a bid to improve ties with major trade partners Australia and New Zealand. Must be a bugger for those who have birthdays, anniversaries, etc on what would have been December 30... | |
