When you cross the IDL from east to west ... like going from the US to Japan ... you move your
watch and calendar to read a day later. You skip over 24 hours, and you 'lose' them.
When you cross it going from west to east ... like toward the US and Canada from Asia ... you move
your watch and calendar to read a day earlier. You get to live the same 24 hours all over again, so
you 'gain' a day.
