It wasn't deliberate, but I guess when I moved away I really moved away.

We're talking about "the ends of the earth" I hope Indonesia's treating you well this evening.

I actually think the Google Earth is much easier because I certainly can't remember all my data; I'm a very visual learner so for me it really helps to see the globe as a whole. ;) Glad you found that tool though - much more precise I'm sure.

My antipode is somewhere in the Indian Ocean, just off the shore from Perth, Western Australia. Not really all that far away from Indonesia!
