Places Traveled On Mr. Fogg's Journey Around The World!

As Phileas Fogg traveled around the world, he did not just randomly travel from place to place, he had precise cities on his path back to London. In a few blog posts I will be talking about some of the main places he traveled to.


One of areas he traveled through was India. It was there that he traveled in a very unique way, in which I will talk about in the next post. In this vast country he stopped by in cities that had British influence and control, cities such as Bombay, and Calcutta. In present day India, these places are not under control of Britain and have completely different names. Bombay is now Mumbai. QUICK FACT: India was declared independent from British Control in 1947.

India has been well known around the world for its culture, and also having many riches and spices that many Europeans desired. In addition, it is also the 7th largest country in the world, having the 2nd largest population. It's population sits at about 1 billion people, its area is just about 3,287,263 km2. Quite interesting don't you think?
