Okay before you guys will ramble on with the whole "Thailand is East-er than Connecticut, blah blah, blah" instead of being boring to say Chang Mai is my southernmost and easternmost place, I'm gonna do it continental-wise.... Oh, and flying doesn't count... If it did, then the International Date Line is the farthest east and west... Tongue
And transatlantic flyers' northernmost spot would be pretty damn far north.

And of course, trying to define east-west is arbitrary, since I've crossed the International Dateline by plane many times.  When I go back to the US, I do it by going east, not west.  So in that sense, it's kind of strange to say that I've never been west of Victoria.

As long as you've not been around the world, say if you've only gone Oz-America and Oz-Europe, there isn't a problem. The furthest east you've been is the furthest east you've been in America and the furthest west you've been is the furthest west in Europe.

And if you have been, well east and west don't count for you anymore as you've been everywhere. Grin

North -possibly Oslo or Helsinki, though I go for St. Petersburg.
South - I go for the southern tip of the Indian peninsula, that you most likely have visited (see eastern longitude). Ethiopia (a bit south from Addis), Venezuela, Colombia and Panama are other possibilities.
East - Somewhere in India (Lucknow?)
West - Somewhere on the Pacific coast north of SF. I go for Victoria island.
Pretty good.
St Petersburg is correct, Kanyakumari is correct (just beating out Costa Rica), "somewhere in India" is correct though you're far too far north - doublechecking, it's still slightly closer the 80th than the 81st actually and anyways, it's just stepping out of the Kerala Express (Delhi to Trivandrum in 50 hours, though I got out at Varkela after 49) and buying chai and bananas on the platform. At Vijayawada. If that don't count it's Mahabalipuram, which is only just beyond the 80th. America's Pacific coast is correct, but Oregon rather than BC.
