Anyway, is it Spring there now?[/quote]

Not from Google thingies! (not counting this as an answer since it is a technical detail.)

Yes, the current season there is considered spring.

Neat. Might try it with a bunch of students and see how they do.

Some places are really easy – you just find street signs, etc. But if you make it so you’re not allowed to use Google or other search engines, then it gets a bit tougher.
