Is there a point on earth that if you travel 200 miles South, then 200 miles East, then 200 miles North, you return to the exact same point?

I just completed my MBA at Columbia Business School in New York City this Spring. Recently the blog has been focused on investing and doing business in Africa. I started it, however, when I got sick of mass e-mailing friends and family everytime something weird happened during the two years I worked in China. Check the archives and multimedia galleries (below) to find lots of great stories, pictures, and videos from travels in the U.S., China, Vietnam, Thailand, Japan, Kenya and other parts of the world.

is each trip roundtrip? If so, then any of the three situtations can return a person to the same point if one travels 50miles out and 50miles back to the starting point. We often do this when we commute to and from work.
The North Pole.

I say any point on the globe. Since the earth rotates on its N-S axis. So the questions really depends on the speed of such travel (200 miles South, East, North)
