The most interesting thing about the New Year in Samoa is the fact that one can take an hour's flight to American Samoa, which is on the other side of the dateline, and celebrate the New Year twice, twelve hours later as it is one of the last places to hit midnight.
Often, Samoans and visitors to the country celebrate with fireworks and traditional juggling and dancing.
People visit from all over the globe in order to be the first to see the New Year.
