How does your world map look like?
My African friends were so surprised or rather shocked when they first saw my world map.
It is because, on my world map, Asia is at the middle of the map.
My friends were like 'Dude, I've never seen a world map like this before.'
I think it's kinda funny that there is a complicated relationship of power and politics even on a map. Thus, every continent considers themselves the centre of the world while the world is actually round - there is no centre or middle kinda thing, everything is equal on the round-shaped earth.

So how does your world map look like? What kind of the world are you living?
