You're Saying There's a Beach in North Korea? (Spoiler Alert: Probably Not)
Ever looked at a globe (or, you know, that fancy phone app everyone uses these days) and wondered, "Man, how far exactly is California from all this...North Korea business?" Well, buckle up, because we're about to embark on a journey that's shorter than a Kim Jong-un Netflix binge but way more informative (probably).
Miles Away From Those Spicy Noodles (and Everything Else)
The answer, my friend, depends on where in California you're chilling and what fancy method of measurement you prefer. But fear not, we've got you covered on both fronts.
As the crow flies (or a rogue missile, but let's not be negative): We're talking somewhere in the ballpark of 5,800 to 5,900 miles (9,300 to 9,500 kilometers). That's a hefty chunk of change for your frequent flyer miles.
By plane (assuming you can get permission to fly over, like, a bunch of countries): Buckle up for a good 20-ish hour flight. BYOB (bring your own boredom busters) because trust me, the in-flight entertainment options on these long hauls are about as exciting as watching paint dry...in North Korea.
By boat (not recommended, trust us): This one's a hard pass. Not only would it take forever, but international relations between, well, let's just say California and North Korea, aren't exactly built for a scenic cruise across the Pacific.
So, Why Should You Care? (Besides Avoiding Accidental Missiles)
Look, knowing the exact mileage might not be the most earth-shattering knowledge. But hey, it's a fun fact to impress your friends at your next trivia night (or, you know, confuse them completely).
More importantly, it highlights just how vast our planet is. Here in California, you might be catching some rays at Venice Beach, while over on the other side of the world, things are...different.
The takeaway? Geography is pretty cool, and the world is a much bigger place than your Netflix queue.
P.S. If you're ever planning a trip to North Korea (and for the love of all things holy, why?), be sure to check the travel advisories first. Let's just say it's not exactly a vacation hotspot (yet).
