Size Matters

I was reading a book and due to undisclosed reasons I did research on Singapore. I downloaded Google Earth.
For all those who have no idea what Google Earth is, I strongly recommend http://earth.google.com/. Go read it up and download the programme.
I was of course, interested in looking for whatever I was looking for and then I played around with the programme. I looked for my house and several other people's and future possible places I want to visit.
When I zoomed in to look at other parts of Singapore, my thought was.. Oh, that's cool, I don't have to travel 1 hour to look at this building. Wow, just a few seconds. And after a few minutes of doing that.
It hit me.
It takes no more than a few seconds to scroll from one end of Singapore to another. When i zoomed OUT. I was like. OMG. THE WORLD IS HUGE.
And I've lived at this.. Small little dot of the world for 20 years. How long will it take me to travel around it? 1000 years? More importantly, how much more am I gonna see if I go out of this little dot? The world is so much more!! And I've lived in this little shell my whole life.
Note to self : Travel. The world is so BIG. There's definitely a place where I belong. :)
