Around the world… in a Facebook status.

December 18th, 2008 by Mirva Lempiainen

It’s amazing how small the world has become since the onset of the Internet, and especially Facebook. At any given time I have friends living or visiting in tens of different countries around the world, on every continent. If there’s an earthquake in Indonesia, I can immediately check if my friend in Jakarta has updated her Facebook status saying that she is okay. Or if there’s a huge snowstorm going on in Australia, I can check my Aussie friends’ statuses to see if they are making snow angels. And sometimes I like to take a little imaginary around-the-world trip just by looking at my friends’ Facebook statuses:

-Amy should have been leaving for Egypt today!

-Laurie is two hours away from vacation and a nice 18 hour drive to FL!

-Amit is getting ready to party in Beirut!

-Ange is packing for Strasbourg :) .

-Amanda will be going away for the weekend… Going to Hangzhou! :)

-Henna is home in Finland!

–Gemi is 宅居在家

-Katja is stoked about jetting of to London in only three days time, weehay!!

-Tepa is doing some AWESOME diving in Solomon Islands! And yeah.. LOVIN it! =)

-Laura is “Finland Finland here I come” sooooon…….

-Kathryn is waiting for a phone call from sunny Perth…

-Zara and 10 days to Cuba!

-Ed is wondering why he’s come to Madurai.

-Ross is enjoying Sweden.

-George: Last Weekend in Paris !!

-Jordan is ready to go to Florida for the weekend.
