When I was about 4 years old, we had a globe that had all the countries in different colors to outline their political borders, and it also had a compass that was drawn on the Pacific Ocean next to San Francisco, California. I believed that you could see the different colors and the compass from outer space, or at least from an airplane. When I was five I thought I would finally see the compass because my mom & I flew to the Philippines from San Francisco, and we would be flying over the compass. An hour into the flight, I then had a feeling that the compass didn't exist becuase I kept staring out the airplane window the whole time and I didn't see it.
