East and West

Post by jtbo » 08 Jan 2010 02:13 am

If you stand exactly at 0 degrees meridian, then you are same time on east and on west side.

If you stand exactly at 180 degrees meridian, then you are similarly same time on east and west side.

I am east as this country resides at east, eastern country then, I guess London is east to, Fishguard is west, but what that makes UK then, eastern or western country?

Often there is talk about rich western countries, quite often French is mentioned among them. How ever could France be a western country when it resides quite well on eastern side? Maybe they are mentioned because they try very hard to be West Enders?

Must be really confusing, when even I'm confused and here I sit at far east, specially if you try to walk to west that is.

Sorry, just something that popped to my mind :lol:
