Here are some of the most interesting geographic news stories I posted on my @mrgeog Twitter feed over the past few weeks:
- A secretary at the Ghana embassy in Washington D.C. discovered she was made king of her village via a 4 a.m. phone call.
- What is the world's most photographed location on Instagram? It's the Suvarnabhumi Airport in Bangkok, Thailand of course! Here's a list of the ten most popular Instagram locations on Earth.
- China has opened the world's longest high-speed rail line, connecting Beijing to Guangzhou. At 186 m.p.h. (300 km/h), the 1,425-mile (2,293 km) route takes a mere eight hours.
- In South Korea, there is a debate about Who is Korean?
- Here's a fun alternate history/geography exercise - If Every U.S. State Declared War Against the Others, Which Would Win?
