Geographical look-alikes?

I didn't realize the similarity until watching the weather on the news last night.  Of course, we all know what my favourite country of New Zealand looks like:

But did anyone ever stop to realize how similar our own Canadian maritime province of Nova Scotia looks?  I can't believe I didn't notice it before now.  But here it is.... New Zealand on an angle (aka Nova Scotia, Canada):

Speaking of New Zealand, I'm planning my next trip there.  I don't know when it will be, but it will be sometime during summer (aka NZ winter), and will likely involve one or more friends (Jana, Grace, etc.).  Jana and I are meeting for coffee in about 3 hours, and we're already planning cool things to do in NZ like skydiving, the Nevis bungee jump, glacier hiking, the Auckland Sky Tower jump, etc. - all of those things that I wanted to do while I was there the first time but never got around to doing.  Well, I did the glacier hike... but I'd sure do it again.  I miss that place.  I can't wait for NZ Round #2!!!!

That is quite freaky. I would love to swap the locations so we could come and visit you more easily, but the negative 30 degree temperatures would be a definite down side. How about we just swap locations for part of the year?

But of course it is commonly known that the North Island is in fact a giant stingray, the South a canoe, and Stewart Island an anchor.....
