Eh, close enough.
I was gonna say.
Want to see the map of Asia that most US-Americans could draw.
That’s cool and all, but if we’re directly correlating this, then I think it would be more like you drawing out the provinces in China or India.
China I could maybe get Manchuria, Inner Mongolia, Tibet kinda right, I’d try to get Guangdong, Szechuan and Xi’an, the rest I’m screwed (Heibei maybe? Guangzhou? Idfk). Perhaps I’d be better to stick to the 3 kingdoms.
India I’m much more screwed. Kashmir, North India, South India, Delhi, something called Gujurat maybe, Bengal, Pashtun?, Bombay, Goa? Throw the Ganges somewhere in there in the North and East…a desert in the west, North and South Mountains that are not called mountains? Now that I’m thinking about it, I’d probably draw it out as Kashmir, that big strip that hugs the Ganges and Himalayas where Delhi is, and Texas.
Read a book.
