And since I’m fine with three people being behind 🙂 Here comes **Hoopy Frood’s** statement: **Never have I ever been outside my quadrant of the Earth. (I.e. I live in the Northern and Western Hemispheres. I’ve never been to the Southern or Easter Hemispheres.)** I’m gonna have to ask for clarification - do you define the quadrants by the meridian and the Equator, or by continents\*? - Eg. North America and Europe = NW, Asia = NE, South America = SW, Australia = SE and Africa = ? ---

I’m going to need to wait for clarification from **Hoopy Frood** : I’ve never been to east longitudes or south latitudes, but I have been across the Atlantic. ---

I mean by meridian and Equator. So I live in the U.S. and the furthest west I’ve been is California, the furthest east is Puerto Rico, the furthest north is somewhere in Quebec or Ontario (was in both, don’t remember which I went further north in) and the furthest south I’ve been is Tobago. This sticks me firmly in the North and West hemispheres. I have never been south of the equator, and have never traveled east from the Prime Meridian or West from the International date line. I’ve never even crossed the Atlantic. ---

I’ve never crossed either zero line. Farthest north and east I’ve been is Ireland, farthest west is San Francisco or Seattle, and farthest south is the tip of Texas (actually just across the river). ---

You’ve been to _Antarctica_? I thought I was doing well… I’m only missing South America and Africa. I didn’t even _count_ Antarctica.
