The Moon is bigger in other countries

This started out as a cynical comment to people who always praises things abroad.

Then I pulled this as a joke to a couple of friends. My reasoning is that Singapore is near the equator, and other countries further will see the moon larger.

They almost bought it..

But I was only slightly wrong.

You see, it is a well known illusion that the moon appears larger near the horizon.
But since you can't see the horizon at all in Singapore, you always see the "smaller" moon.

When you are overseas, away from a city, and look from a mountain or from the beach, you can most probably catch the moon when it is at its "largest", near the horizon.
