So eagle.sheep.horn describes a spot in front of Sydney Opera House, for example. Confusingly, empire.state.building describes a point on a road in the Kanagawa prefecture of Japan. There’s plenty of choice if you want to find a particularly apposite, amusing or just surreal location. Consider delicious.fresh.coffee found in Brazil, secret.agent…
