Samoa to skip 30 December 2011 as it crosses international dateline.
Samoa has moved to the west side of the International Date Line, going straight from Thursday, December 29 to Saturday, December 31, 2011.

In a move designed to simplify relations with key trading partners Australia and New Zealand, time in the South Pacific nation will leap forward to December 31 - New Year's Eve - at the stroke of midnight tonight.

For Samoa's 186,000 citizens, Friday 30 December 2011 will simply not exist, meaning 775 people born on December 30 will see their birthday cancelled.

Employers will still have to pay workers for the day which did not happen, though hotel guests will not be charged for an extra night.

The time jump comes 119 years after some US traders persuaded local Samoan authorities to align their islands' time with nearby US-controlled American Samoa and the US to assist their trading with California.

But the time zone has proved problematic in recent years because it puts Samoa nearly a full day behind key trading partners Australia and New Zealand.

It’s not the first time Samoa has instituted drastic change. In 2009, in a controversial move never before attempted by any country, car traffic rules were changed from the right-hand side of the road to the left-hand-side.

Bottom line: The Samoan calendar has gone from Thursday, December 29, 2011 to Saturday, December 31, 2011 in the blink of an eye as this island nation moved a time zone to the west, crossing the International Date Line. Along with neighboring Tokelau, the parliaments of both countries made this move to bring them closer in time zones to their main trading partners, Australia and New Zealand, to better synchronize their work days.
