If It Were My Home...

We're quickly realizing that six weeks in Colombia will not be long enough. Just the same as when we spent four weeks in South Korea, and South Korea is a lot smaller than Colombia.

I came across an interesting website the other day that compares various statistics from all the different countries in the world. Interesting stuff!

It's called "If It Were My Home". As an example, I've input the comparison between the U.S., and Colombia...

www.ifitweremyhome.com/compare/US/CO

Of course the statistics are all generalities, but it's still an interesting comparison. And the mapping perspective is interesting too!

Want an expensive pair of binoculars? These are $1,200 in the States, so at $1,375 Canadian it's actually a good deal!

      As I said, the statistics (although correct) are all generalities. And of course, 8.4 times nothing is still...nothing.
