True or False:

You would travel southeast to get to Sydney, Australia from San Fran Cal?
The direction halfway between northwest and northeast is north. Now, this may sound stupid, but I am kind of stumped on this one LOL

What is the former name of Beijing?

Thanks LOL

True

You would travel southwest or west southwest to get to Australia.


Peking.

...or maybe South south southwest.

because the earth is a globe you can pick different directions from sf to sydney,
southeast (or rather eastsoutheast) and you will travel via the usa, the atlantic ocean, africa, indian ocean and then cross australia
southwest is the shortest route, crossing the pacific ocean

beijing had many different names over times but the previously most well known name to westerners was/is peking

Peking, Beiping and Yanjing are the most well-known. PEK is still the code for the international airport and Yanjing is the best beer in China (fuck Tsingtao).
