East vs West

As I sit and look at maps of the world, and examine flight maps from  New York to Asia, I have come to the conclusion that  the East is the West and the West is the East.  It is much shorter to  go West to get to Asia. In logic terms, I am travelling West, therefore I will end up in the West.  Of course, if you  travel far enough West you will end up back at start, but that's a whole nuther blog. Anyhow, Asia, which we refer to as the East, is really the West.  So, I give praise the the TV show Kung Fu with David Carradine, because  this really was  an "Eastern"  not a "Western".  I think all Kung Fu movies should be called Westerns.  We here in the US  are from the "East",  WOW that puts a whole new perspective on Eastern philosophy.  So, next trip to Tokyo, or Bangkok, or Hong Kong, or Phnom Penh remember you are  travelling West and going to the West.  I wont start to bring Australia into the equation , because that gets too confusing.  G'day Mate
