That is the funniest memory trick for that I've ever seen.

I have never seen any use-a-world-map mnemonic tricks for vi / vim
before. It really is very where-you-are centric. For me, Jakarta and
Hong Kong are roughly the same direction, and Los Angeles is south.
Kamchatka is very much north-west instead of north. I could substitute
Klondike, Alaska, and Jalisco, Mexico for north / south. Maybe Lithuania
for east. Hong Kong works fine for west, even though it is really
south-west.
