Terrarum http://www.kapili.com/terrarum/index.html

This is a site about Physical Geography. When you pull out a map and look for a place, say the Island of Yap. You need a map which shows Political or Social Geography. Here in Physical Geography we talk about the Earth you walk on, the air that you breath, the water in the oceans. Basically, the stuff that existed long before there were countries and humans and will exist long after humans. All you have to do is look for the stones. They will take you to the different sections of Terrarum.

We want this "Multiculturalpedia" to be a site where you can find many ideas from different backgrounds.

We would like to understand other people more and at the same time understand ourselves.
