Tristan da Cunha et al. have been lobbed together with Easter Island for practicality reasons.

I was planning to go to Burkina Faso at some point...

I think of those, Easter Island wins on practicality, but Petropavlovsk wins on distance-from-nearest-Apolytonner.

Got spare money?

One of my friends actually visited Easter Island a couple of years ago on his round-the-world trip, he'd been to Australia and stopped over in Tahiti and Easter Island on his way to South America.

He told me that during his 2-day stay on Easter Island, one afternoon he was going to a store in the island village to buy some stamps, and he overheard a couple outside the store talking in Danish. He approached them, and it turned out they were from a town 12 km from where both my friend and I grew up.

I mean that would be almost like Neil Armstrong having bumped into the girl next door in the Sea of Tranquility.
(Which, after Tattila mentioned it, I was kind of sorry not to have included in the poll )

In terms of scale, isn't it more like Neil Armstong bumping into a fellow american in the Sea of Tranquility? like Buzz Aldrin, for instance

Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso - noone knows where it is or wants to find out

Petropavlovsk, Kamchatka, Russia - sounds intersting. we could also visit a little chapel, drink eat and be merry

Nuuk, Greenland - i'm not a reindeer
Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia - sure and boost tourism
Easter Island, Chile - very attractive choice
Ulan Bator, Mongolia - only horses and plains there, too far
Perth, Australia - why?
Tikrit, Iraq - somatic integrity is important so no
That place that sells chili just outside Caracas, Venezuela - sure venezuela, say hi to chavez too, buy some t-shirts
U.S. Top Secret Banana Research Facility - that sounds far too dangerous

Yes.

But wild exaggeration sometimes works better.

Nice display of the right spirit there.

For explanations of the inclusion of Perth, I refer to molly bloom's most excellent testimony earlier.

I met with Ming in Chicago, and Sten Sture, pchang and mindseye in San Francisco.

The vacation of my life it was. And I'll always remember how you and others helped with advice of where to go and what to see. I was originally inclined to take the Northern route through Minnesota, Dakotas, Wyoming, Idaho, but now I'm glad you talked me out of it.


My wife is flattered you remembered us. She told me to tell you that when we get some more disposable income, we will return the favor and visit you. BTW, our son is now 5

I especially remember your wife.

We had a great time that day, one of, I have to say many, highlights of my trip! And if you ever get to Denmark, I'll do what I can to show you around. Although I may not be living in Copenhagen by then, but we'll see.

It's only 1500 km or so from Japan, and less than that from Alaska

Nuuk, Greenland manages about that from the nearest Newfoundland apolytoner

Even better would be Alert on Ellesmere island in Canada

It's over 1600 km from there to Barrow, Alaska where space used to live. Now that he's moved to Arizona Alert is probably ~3000 km from the nearest Apolytoner.

It's only reachable by military transport and is frozen in 10 months of the year...

I thought Arctica was a neutral continent simply because every single country said no one could lay claim to it?

Anyone who lays claim to Arctica (and therefore Antarctica) should be shot. But oh well...what do I know?
