I watched the movie The New World today.

I often think that Australia and all of us here under the Wallace Line are the normal world and that the rest of the world are the strange ones. And why shouldn't I think like that. Why should I adopt the view of the Palearctic or Nearctic that their world is "The World". When I travelled and lived overseas their world was the strange world.

I suppose it depends where you grow up.
