...I can be the last one (maybe) to say goodnight, and the first one to say good morning: however, if one continues to travel westward one is in the 'far east': how does that work?
Yes, WB; i know about the dateline; however, I'm asking why it's called the "far east' when I travel west from , say, Vancouver to Japan surely it's the "near east". Now flying from the UK to Japan then it's the "far east". Just being silly, you know:)
