If you get a globe make sure to get a good one... most of the cheaper ones I saw in Thailand made a complete mix of Europe: none of the smaller countries were there (like good old Switzerland), and the globe was not even very small. Germany was fused with everything between Poland and Hungary, Italy had a similar shape to Spain/Portugal... etc... didn't bother to check the Americas, must have been similar there. I wonder why people even bother to produce these globes if they don't even take care about the "details"...?!
