From Manila (Makati Medical Center):

Around 11,250km (7,000 miles) to Novato, where I live. It's hard to imagine that I've been living here for over six years, and I still miss my home in Manila.

Can anyone explain this one to me?

Well, that guy must have enlisted himself in the military and he was sent from his home in the UK all the way to New Zealand. Now that's one extremely long trek.
