I think being the first wall post deserves a map! I just moved into my new flat in a new country and will need to study the map to know where I am going, in what direction!
We would like to have this map for one reason and one reason only. When our American friends come to visit us we would be able to prove to them that there is more land outside the USA. That there are more countries in Europe than just UK, Paris and Germany. :)

If I won the map I could send it to the outgoing (finally) president of my country, George Bush. Perhaps he’ll finally realize that a world exists outside our own borders.
Ooh! Ooh! Me first!
I have the perfect spot on my wall for this map. Right above the imaginary bookshelf I will soon buy, which will be just behind the imaginary comfy chair and just next to the ultra cool, but unobtrusive soon-to-be lamp in the little reading room just off the family room in my soon-to-be-very-own house.
In that room my two young self educated teens will spend countless hours reading, studying and planning our trips around the world as we contemplate all the places we want to go while gazing at our new, beautiful wall map. Of course, all that studying, reading and contemplating will happen between world championship level screeching matches and fights between the two. Most likely when they’re also eating every piece of food in the pantry.
I can just see it now and it is a wonderful sight.
Well, I could do with the map so that the next time I visit London I do not get lost and walk up and down an industrial estate for nearly 2hrs.
I need the map because my cats ripped the wallpaper off the living room wall and I spend all my money on travel and can’t afford to fix it the proper way. :)
And besides, they’re handy to have anyway, I wouldn’t have to drag out the world atlas every time my sister calls me.
I think that a world map is one of the most inspiring travel items – a chance to muse over countries unknown, reminisce over countries visited before and the chance to dream of future journeys.

I’d really, really like this map so I can sit and study how far away everywhere is from where I am and then scheme and plan on how I’m going to get there…
