Please let us know how many feet or miles something is. I have no clue what meters and kilometers are. I thought your blog was primarily to Americans.

First world problems really suck, don't they, Adrian?

Kilometers x 0.6 = miles and meters/3 ~ feet.

Please use a calculator so your brain doesn't overheat.

As a US citizen living in SE Asia, I'd also like to ask, "Are you a North American or South American?" Which country? Just kidding... we already know the answer to the last one.

Good read! Somerset Maugham probably didn't venture beyond the bar of the Eastern and Oriental
