Region Roll Call
Method of Madness:
It has 23,000 people. That's not that small.
Edit: Never mind, just saw the context. Yeah, that is strange.
ankhtahr:
Well, it's not world famous. It's in a district together with Rendsburg, so it's not even the largest city in its district (which is called Rendsburg-Eckernförde). If I hadn't grown up around there I wouldn't have heard of it I guess. I think I only visited it once.
Method of Madness:
Yeah, I hadn't remembered how it was mentioned so I just assumed someone said they lived there, then I scrolled up and saw what you meant.

--- Quote from: KHNO on 02 Oct 2014, 10:42 ---and I 'm ashamed to admit that I know much more about local geography than about the rest of the world. I've travelled a lot in my own country, and been as far in Europe as Ireland, Switzerland, Eckernförde or den Haag, but my notions on canadian geography for example are a bit rudimentary...

Why should you be ashamed? I find it natural that anyone would be most knowledgeable in the geography of their own area of residence simply because most of your travels will be more or less local. It's easy to drive to the next town to go shopping over the day, it may take some planning to go to a larger city because it's too far away to just drive there and back over a day, and to reach a place further away you might need to fly or spend a long time traveling. Personally, I like to travel but I have barely made it outside of Europe (Asian part of Turkey), though I did pass through Eckernförde on two different occasions...

I love travelling locally. I've spent a lot of the summer exploring parks and trails within an hour drive of me, and it's been pretty amazing.
