Oh wow - - good thing I never dug clear through to China, because instead of China I would have ended up on the bottom of the Indian Ocean!
Thank, that was fun and informative!

What can't you find on the internet? That was fun, thanks for posting. I too come out in the middle of the Indian Ocean.

Yeah, me too!! I 'm glad I can swim. Ended up about 300 miles west of Austraulia. No wonder our whole area is soaked. However, I also know that we got about 8" of rain so far this week.

Contrary to what you may think, if you live in the US you won't end up in China...
True, but for most of us in the US going 180 degrees around the globe at the same latitude would put us in China. Maybe that's where the idea came from.
