Goole map shows from current school to old school distance is 12950Km (8000mile)
I choose to go to my old school by walk.
At that time Goole map showed very interesting direction!
Can you gess How Google map tell me to cross ocean!!???


Answer is using Kayaking to cross the Pacific Ocean.

(Sorry it has only Japanese language directions, but the read font mention section I need to use kayaking to cross Pacific Ocean)

It is very funny to use google map to find direction beucase I had only a idea that go to US by air plein or ship. I think nobody think going to US by kayaking!!

I believe Google map tell you new way to go to your end of your journey.
Here is the assigment description

  1. lol I've heard the kayak thing before but yea it's funny. Someone at Google has a sense of humour. It's also nice seeing someone tackle this assignment because I actually tried to do it but couldn't come up with something I was satisfied with and ended up putting it down. :)

  2. I've noticed this too on the Google Maps tour planning. It is a good idea for a ds106 assignment. You might consider adding a title to your blog post when you have a chance.

  3. Good blog Nanami! Interesting to walk from one school to the another in a different country!

    When I first came across the Kayak directions, I had the same reaction as you. I thought it was a typo! I couldn't believe it. I agree with William on the sense of humor at Google...but it could also be attitude as if you wouldn't already take a plane or ship to your destinations.
