Inspired in one of the questions made in the topic by RayDuque3, "Answer and Question", made by Yunta, I would like to know from you:
What is the city you ever been most:
1) Northern
2) Southern
3) Eastern
4) Western
For me, I think it is:
1) Northern
Amsterdam
2) Southern
Florianópolis (Santa Catarina State, Brazil)
3) Eastern
Berlin
4) Western
Cuiabá (Chapada dos Guimarães village, Mato Grosso State, Brazil)
Quite a trip!
What about you?

Beco.

Edited:
I travelled to Pedro Juan Caballero, Paraguay (near the border and near the brazilian city Ponta-Porã), once. But I found out that Cuiabá is westernmost than this point.

Edited 2:
I have a challenge to make!
You calculate the distance between your cities (1) and (2) and add it to the distance between the cities (3) and (4).
Lets see who have the greatest compass rose limit!
For me it is:
Distance between Florianópolis and Amsterdam: 10256.55 (Google Earth, from town center to town center)
Distance between Cuiabá and Berlin:
10035,80
Total: 20292.35
Beat that!

Beco, I bet I beat you!
1) Northern: London, UK
2) Southern: Buenos Aires, Argentina
3) Eastern: Rome, Italy
4) Western: Dallas, US
Ok, Amsterdam is a bit northern than London, but Berlin and Rome are almost in line, and I beat you with Dallas and Bs.As., hehe...

N: Turku, Finland
S: San Diego, USA
E: Moutsouna, Naxos, Greece (reached by bicycle!)
W: San Diego, USA
N-S: 9010km
E-W: ~10800km
Total: ~19800km
But the distance isn't very meaningful. For example, I'd get a greater distance if I replaced Turku with Helsinki which is a few kilometres further south but about 150km further east.
