I love Google Earth, I spend hours on it. I calculate distances and look at the elevation of the local land, its quite fascinating. I thought it would be interesting to see where everyone lives with respect to distances.
Here are some distances:
Paris - 600 miles.
Madrid - 1000 miles
Rome - 1200 miles
Warsaw - 1100 miles
Berlin - 900 miles
Reykjavik - 800 miles
Oslo - 700 miles ( I was shocked at how close Oslo was)
Athens - 1900 miles
Istanbul - 1900 miles
Tenerife -2000 miles
Azores - 1400 miles
Cyprus - 2300 miles
Moscow - 1800 miles
Tel aviv - 2600 miles
Thats all within Europe. Outside Europe we have:
Dubai - 3800 miles
Los Angeles - 5000 miles
Seattle - 4400 miles
Cape town - 6300 miles
Nairobi - 4600 miles
Colombo - 5700 miles
Beijing - 5100 miles (scarely close)
Seoul - 5500 miles
Tokyo - 5800 miles
Brunei - 7200 miles
Melbourne - 10, 700 miles
Nuuk Greenland - 1600 miles (Close)
Port of Spain - 4200 miles

New York - 3100 miles
Montreal - 2900 miles
Boston - 2900 miles
Halifax - 2500 miles

Its so interesting doing this. There are a lot of places that are further away than I thought.
Belfast: 323 miles north west
Lerwick: 601 miles north
Paris: 213 miles south east
Amsterdam: 222 miles north east
Milan: 596 miles south east
Nice: 639 miles south east
Barcelona: 708 miles south
Seville: 1018 miles south west
Athens: 1488 miles south east
New York: 3465 miles west
Milan is closer than Lerwick.. the 600 mile trip to Nice doesn't seem that far either when you look at it.. I am closer to Dijon than I am to Owen
London: 168 miles
Belfast: 187 miles
Dublin: 197 miles
Amsterdam: 281 miles
Brussels: 321 miles
Paris: 378 miles
Lerwick: 439 miles

Stockholm: 834 miles
Madrid: 931 miles
Rome: 1,043 miles
Helsinki: 1,081 miles
Montreal: 3,140 miles
New York: 3,368 miles
We are closer to parts of Germany than parts of Scotland.
