Here's New Year's coming.

The new year first knocked on Samoa and Kiribati.

For years now, the small island of Samoa, with fewer than 200 thousand inhabitants, has been the first to open celebrations and this since it chose to board the Pacific date limit, leading it 24 hours ahead.

Shortly thereafter, fireworks broke out on a magic spectacle in Auckland, New Zealand. But the greatest of them all as a pyrotechnic show remains Sydney, Australia.

The clear sky allowed years of maximum taste of the light and color waterfall of what is considered the most advanced technological spectacle. This time, however, the sky has betrayed the celebrants; a downpour struck the thousands of people gathered in Sydney Bay, accompanied by lightning and lightning, forcing an air show to cancel.

In Russia, some have not expected the arrival of the new year, but have started celebrations of immersion in the icy waters on a beach in Vladivostok.

In London, large crowds will expect the change of years on the banks of the Thames River; among the last countries of the globe awaiting the New Year's break will be the American islands Baker and Haulland Island, where 2019 arrives on January 1st with the European clock.
