Where in the World does your Date of Birth Take You?

Here is a bit of fun if you fancy playing along and have a spare couple of minutes,..I hope you enjoy this.....


First of all, go to the Google page. On the top left click on maps. Then tap into Google your date of birth using only 2 digits each for day, month and year. Then click Google search. Then a map will appear of somewhere in the world. If a map doesn't appear straight away, then on the left hand side of the page, towards the top will be a country, city or town, just click on it and then wait for the map on the right of the page to take you to your date of birth destination. When the map appears, look for where the letter A is situated within the red marker. Taking the letter A as the centre marker, I am allowing a radius around the A marker of 3 inches, to see if you can find something of interest or anything of significance that may mean something to you and your life.


Here are the details I added to Google maps.


My DOB.....270265


The map that appeared was of a place in Munich, Germany.


Two inches to the right of the red marker is a place called Hotel Gästehaus Englischer Garten, which basically translates as The English Garden Hotel.


Now I am a proud Englishman of 46 years of age now living in Australia. I was glad to have found this wonderful map reference which I feel is quite a significant place to end up using my date of birth. Out of all the dates of birth I could have had and all the places in the world to end up, this I thought to be quite beautiful, The English Garden Hotel.


So I have decided that next year I am going to go to this place where my date of birth and Google maps have taken me and see it in reality. Then the following year, I may try and visit the girlfriends date of birth. I haven't looked at where her date ends up, I will let her do it later to see where we are going to end up maybe the following year....


Here are my findings and links below....

One other point...If you cannot see anything of interest or significance when you first get to the map, using the zoom button on the left of the map....

Happy hunting and let me know where you end up...........
