Entire country loses a day
At some point most of us have
lost days of our lives to chores, illness, travel or even (seemingly) in queues
– but the population of an entire country is about to lose one at once.
Why? Well the South Pacific island nation of Samoa is skipping forwards a day from midnight on Thursday.
As the clock strikes 12 on 29 December, the country will collectively leap a whole day into the future, meaning it will have lost Friday 30 December completely and wake up on Saturday 31 December instead.
