Introduction

I have always liked maps since I was a kid... and I still do!!I just found some great ideas from Mark Fisher at the Washington Post representing on maps many varied findings, data, facts... Some other maps come from www.bored.panda.com and www.strangempas.wordpress.com.I also thought about using them in my English lessons to introduce some different knowledge on geography, history, culture, economics...Feel free to browse the maps included and see the world from other 63 original perspectives!!
