    Equator 2 years ago

    As with Tim I did this in Kenya, and also witnessed the proof that southern and northern hemisphere toilet water flushes in opposite directions, noticable within 20 yeards either side of the equator.



    Nanyuki, Kenya 2 years ago

    I stood on and crossed the Equator near Nanyuki, Kenya. The actual experience was somewhat anti-climatic—I think the locals were more excited to have tourists coming through. I paid some guy a dollar for a certificate that said I’ve been on the equator, and I also gave him another dollar to demonstrate the coriolis effect. Sure enough, even just 20 paces off the equator it seemed to work!

    I went to Equador last Spring Break, and stood on both sides. It was pretty anti-climactic.
