I guess I went west from Los Angeles to get the eastern most city I’ve been to Tokyo.
My problem is with the semantic and Eurocentric reliance on what “What is the further east/west you’ve been “ or the original thread title.
I do understand the semantic and Eurocentric arguments some make. I just think they are wrong.
I’d probably not be a good guy to play scrabble with.
My problem is it’s a lot less interesting question when a huge proportion of posters have to say Hawaii and Japan for West and East. There would be a much greater variety of answers if we just used our personal locations as ground zero instead of imaginary lines on a map.
Good point. A separate “What’s the furthest you’ve ever traveled, and why?” would’ve been an interesting thread.
We have done that many times. And yes it is interesting. As in the folks from England claiming exotic locales like Los Angeles and the Angelenos claiming exotic locales like London as their extreme travels.
The OP of the source thread for this spinoff asked what they asked: extremes by Lat / Long. And that’s the thread they / we mostly got once their intent was clarified.
There’s no harm in somebody starting that other thread based on each of our personal coordinates. Just be sure your OP title and OP body agree on what you are asking and are clear and technically legit.
