just having a chat with my classmates:
we were talking about the "far eastern Asia" & the "Pacific Asia"
you know, it's quite interesting because
when we said that Taiwan, Korea, Japan are all in the "far eastern"
it is only because we are looking at the map
which has Europe in the center
then we just found out that
maps in different countries, are all different
wherever you live
your country would definitly in the central of the map
that explain, why we are "far eastern"
because that really confuse me
while I was looking for the map
US is always in the right hand side
I know that the Earth is a sphere
but we call US as a western country
and that doesn't explain why we call US as a western country
if it is in the right hand side of the map??
now I get it!!
so in US's world map
American continent would be in the middle
and Europe would be divided to 2 parts
in the end of the map
hahaha that's really interesting!!!
