NEW YORK CITY (CNN) — Get out of your East Coast mentality, America. Not everyone will start 2019 when you do.

When it's 5 a.m. ET on December 31, people in Samoa will already be shooting off their fireworks.

Samoa is always the first country to ring in the New Year. American Samoa, its neighbor just 101 miles away, has to watch in envy and wait a full day.

You can thank time zones for that.

There are 39 different local times in use, which means it takes 26 hours for the entire world to enter the New Year.

So, if you really, really, really love to hum "Auld Lang Syne," the list below will get you in the spirit — over and over and over again.

Or if you're really adventurous (and really rich), you can just hop on a private jet for a flight from Sydney to Honolulu and enjoy it in person twice.
