Yeah, floor plans are at services2.hdb.gov.sg/mnh/vt/… . 2 room is 1br, 3 room is 2br, 4 room is 3br.
You should collect signatures for a proposition to make the maximum ratio of lot size to floor area 0.3:1. 😜

I think that construction is renovation, not new construction. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schles… says the station opened in 1902!

The east end connects to a roughly-parallel S-Bahn line at
Warschauer Straße; the west end is unconnected but I think any sensible extension would be more than one stop.
Which single stop subway line extension do you want the most?
57%
Blue line to Charles/MGH
33%
Line 10 to Gare de Lyon
10%
Songshan Line to Kunyang

Two of them were in state legislatures rather than the US Congress. (And Letlow wasn't in the US Congress *yet*...)

I wrote the list, and the Boston/Santiago one still surprises me. I could totally understand Miami being west of Santiago, but Boston?

Or to put it another way, Cape York, the northern tip of the Australian mainland, is closer to the equator (10.687°) than the northern tip of the Venezuelan mainland (12.197°).

Country heights (main parts only):
Canada - 41°
China - 35° incl. Hainan, or 33° without
Australia - 33° incl. Tasmania, or 28° without
US - 24° (excl. AK/HI/Keys)
"Widths":
Russia - 163° (excl. Kaliningrad)
Canada - 88°
China - 61°
US - 58° (excl. AK/HI)
Australia - 41°

Beijing and Tokyo aren't that far apart.
I think it may surprise people (Americans and Canadians, anyway) more how tall Australia is than how wide is is.

Yes! That's because they're surprised it's so far east. (Though it's still 4 hours of timezones west of California, it's just summer time changes it to 3 or 5 most of the year.)
See also the "Santiago is east of Boston" one above!

Only a few of the really-far-out Aleutian Islands, though. Berlin is safely south of the southern tip of the panhandle.

I would have expected Perth to be west of Beijing. I think the thing that surprises people is that Australia and New Zealand are further *east* than they expect... but they're not *that* far east.

A few bits of geography that might surprise you:
1. Rome is further north than NYC
2. Portland, OR is north of Montréal
3. Boston is west of Santiago, Chile
4. Havana is north of Hong Kong
5. Seattle is south of Paris
6. Cairns is closer to the equator than Jamaica or Antigua

A 🧵 on COVID Living Room Spread:
Saturday:
- Older, out of the house brother wants to visit younger siblings.
Mom says "get a test on the way, if you are negative you can come."
- Rapid test is (-), family spends a day together inside, laughing, playing, eating.
