"Standing naked before the world"

Y'all's love of maps and globes was fun to read about in your comments to an earlier post. So I give you this picture from a Tel Aviv store window. If you get past the awful reflections and the neon lights, you can just make out Africa, the Americas, and Australia.
Can you believe?! It's a shower curtain!
Years ago National Geographic inserts and other kinds of maps covered the walls of our little WC. Consequently my kids grew up knowing and loving geography.
Now I'm thinking that contemplating the world map could be even more fun while showering or bathing!

Lots of bloggers will be posting about their world tonight over at That's My World. Have a peek.

  12. I love it. I would seriously like to have that shower curtain and especially to see the look on my daughter's face when she visits. She always said she got her geographic skills from her father and that I'm geographically challenged. I love the idea of showering and learning, ha.

  14. Now that is a great idea Dina! My daughter had the times table on the inside of the dunny door when her children were little, I can see how a map of the world can be just as stimulating!

  15. I'm afraid my shower is too narrow, Australia would touch Africa and Atlantic Ocean would disappear ; )

    I would love it.

  17. Growing up we always had a large globe in our room. However, my sense of direction is still seriously challenged. I really love the idea of this shower curtain though. If I ever see one, I'd be really tempted to buy one for my granddaughter.

  19. I could not have this as a shower curtain - I would never get out the bath for reading it.

  20. If one stays at the WC for long, then for sure one learns a lot of the geography... :)

  21. I love this, learning and showering at the same time is a worldly idea.
    Great capture with the buildings.

  22. That makes an interesting photo. Thanks for sharing it. Without your information it would have been hard if not impossible to determine how the photo was taken.

  29. I love maps. I keep all my National Geographic maps handy so I can refer to them when I need to. I work with maps at work. I would love a map shower curtain.
