Ever wondered which realm directly lies beyond the ocean from your coastal town? Well, residents of the Americas are in luck! Beyond romantic notions, the below-pictured map gives you the exact position of the faraway country that is across the vast sea from your location.

It is kind of scary how much of Florida corresponds to the hellish Sahara Desert across the Atlantic Ocean. As for another amusing observation, we found out swimming all the way around the world from a thin slice of Chile will land you back in Chile! Oh, and New York seems to correlate to the paradisiacal, sunny geographic zone bordering Spain and Portugal.

In any case, it is certainly a good exercise for the geography buff inside you. And yes, China can still be reached ‘theoretically’ by digging underground from the United States!
