[Travel] Interesting maps

The data comes from the National Family Health Survey, which you can access here

I've also spent a fair amount of time in India (from Kashmir to Kerala). I think you're forgetting the amount of fish eaten in coastal regions

I'm with you and the map on this.
Around 40% of Hindus in India eat meat throughout their lives, if not daily. May or may not explain.

Impressed by the effort to which someone has gone to omit the year Russia's metro opened, real dedication right there

Where is 1896? Czech?

Less impressive is that Crimea shows as being part of Russia on that map

Touché, it does say it was made by a Russian website I suppose.

My grandad told me about the BLT he got from there in 1931. Awful it was.

Because the link source is from a russian Web site

2 more additions/corrections :

Greece: it opened in 1869 (and was steam operated until 1904 when it was electrified), the underground as we know it now it was mostly developed since 2000.
Turkey: A very short line (less than 2000ft, operatable still today), the Istanbul Line since 1875

Massive problem with tunneling in Turkey. In Izmir every time digging resumed they came across Roman, Greek, Persian, Lydian, Ottoman, Mesolithic, Neolithic or Macedonian artifacts. It took decades. Just when the final stages of the first line were nearly completed and huge holes were dug along major thoroughfares to put in the stations, Erdogan became Prime Minister. No one votes for him in what is Turkey's third largest city (3.5 millionish), so he cut all government funding for the project ( he has referred to Turkey's most secular city as Sodom and Gamorrah). Much of the city became traffic hell for a decade until it was completed and the roads resurfaced. It's quite swish now with many artifacts on display in the stations, although no one knows how to buy a ticket.

We had similar issues in Athens and Thessaloniki. There is literally no place you can dig without finding ancient artefacts.
In Athens metro, with the form we currently know (since 2000) it took about 5 x the budget, many richer politicians and many (MANY) delays but they came up with some nice solutions.

F.ex in many stations they incorporated the artefacts in the metro station by creating a "free museum" (it's literally free as it is even before the ticket check point). for example Syntagma.

They did the same in Thessaloniki (nice read with many pictures): https://news.artnet.com/art-world/thessaloniki-new-metro-ancient-artifacts-2579729

I fondly remember those "free museums" from our excursion to Athens last season

Thats the one. With thousands of us crammed into that away end, 5,000 I think and would safely hold 2,500 today. Lots of stories prior and after that game with the local rozzers and the Bevendean mob on the bus I was in. 2-2 wasn't it?

I don't think it was particularly rammed that afternoon. I was in much tighter crowds at the time, and it was nothing like the Clock End at Highbury for the semi-final. I'm not sure we had much more than a quarter of the whole attendance, which was about 16,000. That Moy's End was quite sizeable, as you can tell from this pic of its 2013 demolition. I was a bit annoyed that I never got the free red scarf that everyone else seemed to get! Yep 2-2 but I still managed to get down to the GG (from here) for the replay, despite it being postponed at least twice.

We had 6,000 there that day in 1985 (although a few hundred of those were in seats) yet in 1998 when we won 2-1 thanks to a bullet header from Richie Barker, that terrace was the same size and had a safety certificate for just 1,750.

I still remember when we equalised in that cup game. I was 14 and genuinely felt the life being squeezed out of me as I physically struggled to breath or twist myself back to face the pitch. The one and only time I have feared for my life at the football, and it was nothing to do with hooliganism. (Well, not directly anyway)
