#5A web page which gives a google street view of a random location somewhere in the world. Not sure why this is interesting.

It might choose more interesting places if it sampled from the human population distribution.

It's interesting because the world is so large. It's interesting because you never know what you're going to see. It's interesting because most people wouldn't even dream this was possible just a few years ago.

I find the rural places more interesting. I live in a megacity, it's nice to see some countryside.
