In South Korea, the most popular way of celebrating New Year's Day is to travel to Jung dong jin,
the place on the peninsula where the Sun can first be seen each day.
New Year's was mostly celebrated March 1st on the old Roman calendar.
In 153 BC, the celebration was moved to January 1st because that was the date that Roman consuls, after whom years were named and numbered, were selected.
