As a geographer, he really knows quite a bit about the Earth.
He knows the highest point on earth is the top of Mount Everest, which is 8,848 m above sea level, located in Himalayas on the border of Nepal and China.
He knows the lowest point on earth is the bottom of Dead Sea shore, which is 422 m below sea level, bordering Jordan and Israel.
He knows it could get as hot as 57.8°C, as recorded on 13 September 1922, in Al 'Aziziyah, Libya.
He knows it could get as cold as −89.2 °C, as recorded on 21 July 1983, in Vostok Research Station, which is located about 1,300 km from the Geographic South Pole.
He knows the longest distance possible on earth, or some may refer to it as 'circumference of earth', is 40,075.16 km at the equator, which is surprisingly NOT the distance from North Pole to South Pole as many people might assume it to be, as the earth is slightly wider than it is tall by approximately 67 km, which also resulted in it being known as an 'ellipsoid', or more precisely 'geoid'.
Having said that, no matter how well he knows about the planet, he just couldn't understand why he doesn't believe in all these facts anymore...since the day he met her.
He now believes, that the highest point on earth where one could possibly reach, is when he sees her smiling.

He now believes, that the highest point on earth where one could possibly reach, is when he sees her smiling.
He now believes, that the lowest point on earth where one could possibly reach, is when he sees her crying.
He now believes, that the hottest place on earth where one could still possibly be alive, is his face that goes blushed whenever she teases him.
He now believes, that the coldest place on earth where one could still possibly be alive, is his heart that turns icy-cold whenever she rejects him.
He now believes the longest distance possible on earth, is when she is so close to him, but yet, never seems to see how much his love for her is.
He no longer thinks he is qualified to be a geographer.
Confusion might happen in the beginning of a sweet romance, and it might eventually be clarified and you become certain.
Or it might happen when you meet the WRONG person, and it might never disappear and you remain confused indefinitely.
