Neo-Geography
No wonder the schools do not do a good job teaching geography
anymore, every thing has changed....The 1950's version of
King Solomon's Mines was filmed in British East Africa.....
Can you find it on a map today?....
Every US town has a Peking Chinese restaurant....Can
you find Peking on a new world map?.....Ceylon tea
now comes from Sri Lanka.....Did Ceylon sink?.....Sixty years
ago how many British troops died in Myanmar?....And so it
goes.....
When a young man or woman gets out of school these days
they can enjoy all the scuba diving they desire, but not in
British Honduras....Not unless they studied neo-geography...
