How Far is Far?
I live in Tokyo, Japan. Tom lives in Raleigh, North Carolina. Can anyone tell me the distance between these two cities? Please don’t cheat and use google or something - even though that’s what I did.

As the crow flies, the distance between Tokyo, Japan, not Tokyo, Papua New Guinea, and Raleigh, North Carolina is 6921 miles or 11137 kilometers. Don’t think about walking it.
Huh? Tokyo, Papua New Guinea?
The population of Tokyo, Papua New Guinea does not rival that of Tokyo, Japan. It isn’t even worth mentioning, but since you are probably all curious and stuff, the population, more like the surrounding area, of Tokyo, Papua New Guinea is about 775 people. That falls about 125 people shy of the Class of ‘85. Sad. They need more people.
Watching and Waiting.
You are sitting outside a WiFi enabled McDonalds, in Tokyo, Japan, waiting for a friend to show up. While waiting, do you:
- grab some french fires and a shake and then wait quietly?
- bust out your MacBook (w/built-in iSight webcam), fire up iChat, initiate a one-way video chat with Tom all the way in Raleigh, North Carolina, and then point the camera at pedestrians?
One couple pointed at the shiny MacBook, an older gentleman bowed at the camera, and then one couple sat and had a brief chat with Tom and myself. I guess this makes me a geek loser. Ask me if I care.
The answer is, “Yes.” So, please don’t point, laugh, and call me names.
