another great reason and way to travel!!
Check out "Degree Confluence Project" - the goal of the project is "to visit each of the latitude and longitude integer degree intersections in the world, and to take pictures at each location" and then post them and the stories on the website.. :D - sorry... did i just lose you? :p ok ok... "integer degree intersections are points such as 35°S 60°W or 106°N 6°E, basically intersection points made up of whole numbers (just in case you forgot what integers are... ). There are literally thousands of such locations in the world (12,776 to be exact - excluding those in the ocean and near the poles & many of them probably inaccessible - i.e. in the middle of the dense amazon or mountain top!) but one such chap has obviously thought this a good idea and reckons crazed GPS device folks like himself (and us too! :D) would be mad enough to go for it... HE'S PROBABLY RIGHT!!! He seems to be quite successful - there are tons of stories and pictures online..
singapore isn't on it.. unfortunately.. i just realised we are something like 1° 18' N 103° 50' E ...ya, seems like the whole of this "Little Red Dot" has in fact got just one intersection point for all to share.. might check out the Malaysian ones after the exams.. :)
