Going west to reach the east

Imagine taking a balloon ride around the world from Singapore's west coast, over the Middle East, over Europe, over the United States, over the Pacific ocean, over the Indonesian islands. You'll eventually reach the east coast of Singapore. That may seem like a very inefficient way of traveling within Singapore, as it will only take 45 minutes of drive to go from the west to the east. But only by doing that you get to see the world and have a deeper appreciation of the place where you got started.

I have gone so far to the west that I found myself back in the east.
