In his book A Zebra Is The Piano Of The Animal avis car rental udon thani thailand Kingdom, Jarod Kintz wrote when you re a cartographer, having to make maps sort of comes with the territory . He s right. When your business is making maps you should be able to do just that. But what if you re not a cartographer? What if you had to draw a map of the country you live in? From memory? What would that map look like?
Maybe something like this perhaps? The shape of the United Kingdom and Ireland is vaguely right, though Cornwall and all of the Scottish islands bar the Shetlands seem to be lacking. Then again, the Isle Of Wight is on holiday off the North Coast of Wales. The Channel Islands have evicted the Isle Of Man, which is off sulking avis car rental udon thani thailand in the North Sea, probably annoying cross Channel ferries avis car rental udon thani thailand into the bargain. Also Woo! Geography .
Or maybe your lovingly hand drawn map would look like this one, which is my personal favourite for no other reason than the helpful arrow in the North East corner pointing to Iceland (Not The Shop) . Readers of this blog who don t live in the UK should know that in addition to being a Nordic island country that straddles the boundary between the North Atlantic and Artic Oceans, Iceland is also a chain of British stores that specialise in frozen food.
I d like to think that I d be able to do better avis car rental udon thani thailand than this final example from someone who has applied a significant amount of cartographical avis car rental udon thani thailand license and really, really needs someone to buy them an atlas. I d like to think that. I might even try to do this myself, but in the interests of preserving what little reputation I have, I d only post my attempt avis car rental udon thani thailand if it was any good.
