Today we travel the whole world without leaving the map. I open Google Maps and we go together: Japan, the two Koreas, China and its Mandarin, Taiwan, and the Philippines, which is not one island but thousands.
Then we follow one yellow line around the planet, خط الاستواء, the equator. It passes through Southeast Asia, through Somalia and Congo and Kenya, through the Amazon, and everywhere it goes, the same things follow: heat and huge tropical forests, غابات استوائية. Then we go to the cold ends of the earth, Scandinavia, Iceland, Greenland, which belongs to Denmark by the way, and the two frozen poles, where people actually travel from Argentina just to see the ice.
