Wow! Well it is just amazing. I'm sure it was a learning experience as well. You must have learned tons of geography that you never knew!

This is amazing! I can't even imagine how long this must have taken to create!
Michael Tompsett replied:
Hi Amber - yes a long time indeed! Strangely enough the hardest part was determining which cities to use in areas of the world I knew little about. Europe and North America were relatively simple, where the cities are household names. In comparison to say China. Apart from a couple of cities, i had little idea which other cities were important, whether it be for cultural, size, historical or industrial reasons, so areas like that took quite a bot of cross-referencing of sources. Worth it in the end though, and I learnt quite a bit about areas I never knew about before!
