And then the talk led to Cherry’s curiosity of what town/country celebrates new year first. And the lucky island is…

Christmas Island / Kiritimati - is a Pacific Ocean Atoll in the northern Line of Islands and part of the Republic of Kiribati. It is the first inhabited island on Earth to experience “new year”.
