Exploring the world at home!

I have spent long time on the internet doing something that gives me much pleasure: Navigating in Google Earth.

The guys at Google are pretty smart. So they launched Google Maps, I thought the best, but after they launched the Earth, with the globe that rotates, with the earth in relief and the millions of photos uploaded by Panoramio, it was impossible to escape.

I also made some contribution to the Wikimapia. It's pretty cool too, and although not the best way of knowing the world, is still faster and cheaper way. If we want to delve a little and see the thing in motion, add Youtube and is almost perfect. If you want to know something written on the subject, use Wikipedia and Google itself. Thus, we became good expert in anywhere in the world.

I have visited a lot in Earth the region where I live, Ribeirão Preto, and I lived, in Conchal, all in Brazil. But I've been to varied places. Lately I've visited Amapá State, Serra do Navio and its manganese mining.

I have many photos on my HD, but still not have released any on Panoramio. I hope to do it soon.

I have that book with the "1001 Places to Know Before You Die." He is a kind of script. The book itself is limited, but if we go ahead and follow the links that the author provides, more photos of Google Earth and Youtube videos, is magnificent.

This is one of the best things to do in life: to know the world.
