Similar to a map, more of a table...with geographic implications.

I wonder if this is representing the plastic waste generated in each area or if it includes total waste in each area...i.e. some poorer countries take in other country's waste and I dare say quite a few passing cruisers/ships dump their waste at sea in other's waters...

EDIT = Does anybody remember when Pattaya Beach was really really dirty due to shipping dumping their waste not far enough out to sea..??

From the comments on the FB post where I clipped it from...sounds like you are correct.

Traveling South-Southwest from Hawaii toward Antarctica, there's a perfectly straight path which crosses the International Date Line 7 times, going today-tomorrow-today-tomorrow-today-tomorrow-today-tomorrow.

Eyeballing it, looks like you can go from Russia, starting in today, yesterday, today, yesterday, today, yesterday.

I wonder if today's yesterday would be any better than yesterday's yesterday.

Mapped: Minimum Wage Around the World

What's also interesting from the same article is the minimum wage in different countries. There's probably a close correlation of minimum wage to cost of living which makes me happy to be living in Thailand.

If you're familiar with the Wars of the Roses (I read Conn Igulden's series of books on it last year, highly recommended), you'll recognise some of the names here. The Crown returned Maine and Anjou to France to secure the marriage of Henry VI to Margaret of Anjou. Calais was still an English redoubt, and Burgundy was where the future King Henry VII took refuge for some time. As for Orleans, I think we all know who the maid was, lol. I'm sure there's a million more interesting factoids.

Contrast that map with this one from 1429, not long after the death of the Battle King, Henry V, which shows how much of France England had already occupied during the Hundred Years War, only to have lost almost all of it less than 50 years later.

Japanese Stereotypes Of Europeans
Sometimes maps can be fun in the way that they show how others view particular people or places. This map shows the stereotypes Japanese people have about European countries and people, and some of them are pretty hilarious. For example, the Japanese associate everyone in Denmark with being happy and think that there are no fat people in France. Likewise, they think of the mafia when they think of Italy, and to be fair, people from a lot of other places probably think the same.

We're not exactly sure what's going on with Portugal, but Turkey seems to be doing a good job when it comes to wooing the Japanese and that one has us a little confused as well.
