Nine years ago the dateline was adjusted to run between Samoa and American Samoa. It had previously been on the...
west side of both Samoa’s. But Samoa decided to have the dateline moved to the East so that Samoa would be on the same side of the dateline as NZ. By doing so, Samoa skipped December 30, 2011 and jumped forward to December 31 at midnight at the end of December 29. Result: there is no December 30, 2011 in Samoa’s history.
