Interesting to watch how war and conflict drove large migrations and how many forget the large numbers of western European immigrants making up the huddled masses. Each dot represents 10,000 people.

This doesn’t just affect journalists; bloggers, photographers, and your social media accounts are fair game. If you live in a country where there’s a real freedom of speech, speak your mind, protect your voice, and listen with suspicion to those who want to silence you or talk so loud they can’t hear anyone else. Everyone else, keep raising your voices.

The real East-West divide. According to the Pew Research Center:

“As Stanford University geographer Martin W. Lewis notes on his GeoCurrents blog, the geography of hot drinks has changed markedly over the centuries. Places once so famous for coffee that they gave their names to it (Java, Turkey, the Arabian peninsula) now favor tea or other stimulants, as do most of the tropical countries that grow the world’s joe (with a few exceptions, such as Colombia and Brazil). Great Britain exported its love of tea to most of its former colonial dominions, and it’s no coincidence that South Korea and the Philippines — both with close ties to the U.S. — are among the few Asian nations to prefer coffee over tea.”

Also interesting is that for every cup of coffee, 3 cups of tea are being consumed somewhere. You can read the full article here.
