Exploring the world with Yahoo! Soup

Categories: Geography General
Was looking through my bookmarks tonight and found something very cool that I'd forgotten all about, Yahoo Soup. Haven't really thought about this for the class before, but had an idea while messing around with it. This would be a great way to introduce a location. I had been talking to someone about Quebec at the weekend and realised how little I knew about it, so popped Quebec into Yahoo Soup, searched for the tags (quite hard) and then searched the photographs. I now have a much better idea of the 'look' of Quebec, from virtually nothing. Try it for yourself
