I was searching the internet to find out how many new years in the world, and it is interesting to see that many so far; I found 26, and I wanted to share this general knowledge with you and ask you if you know more, please feel free to add in the comment area.
Please, note there was no concern for the sequence presented; most of you would agree with me that at least I never heard about half of them
