9. East - The International Date Line

14. I've been to Greenwich, 0º 0' 0" E/W (by definition)
So that's as far east (and west) as one can go.

50. First place I visited in London
Hopped on the Tube and headed for Maritime Greenwich. But then I'm a nerd.

http://www.greenwichwhs.org.uk/

The Cutty Sark clipper ship and all kinds of geeky museums.

Rethinking the original question, I think the person who posted the international date line is most correct. Both 180° East AND West.

27. Kinda depends on where you are, doesn't it?
From my vantage point in Chicago, I'm tempted to say:

Westernmost: Los Angeles, CA, USA

Easternmost: Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

But that's because I flew to KL from Newark over Europe and the Middle East. If we'd flown the other way over the Pacific, I'd say it was the WESTERNmost place I'd been.
