I did travel from South Tarawa (pop about 50,000) across a short bridge into Buota, the first island in North Tarawa. From there an outrigger ferry takes you onto the next island, Abatao, where it's dreamy and empty, with villages among the trees you can only walk between on a sandy track. I even found a hillock there that I swear is higher than Tarawa's official 3 metre high point!

Moscow is at 55 N - do you consider it a European capitol even though the vast majority of the country it represents is in Asia?

Apparently one that means "place of fermented (keyhole) angelfish", nice!

And don't mistake angelfish for anglerfish. Which is what I thought of when I saw the word.. (partly because english isnt my first language and didnt read the word angel as you are supposed to but more like angle. But then again that could also have been bécáuse I already had anglerfish in my mind)

Why was Asia so much harder for me than Oceania? Tbilisi is further north than Beijing or Tokyo? That's... kind of hard to imagine. I know it's true. And Tokyo is actually only slightly north of Los Angeles in latitude. But it's hard to imagine on a map.
