If I've got the physics right, such a hole would flood with seawater, but only to sea level on the side you started digging from.

Me too. This did confirm the theory that the singer in the TMBG song Ana Ng would have to live in Peru (assuming that, Ng being a Vietnamese last name, Ana lives in Vietnam)

2000 miles SE of Lesotho when home. When at work, I can't get away from this fuck*ng weather - I end up on the coast of Antarctica.

It's probably a good thing that you're in a cold climate.  Put you where it's hot all the time and you might explode.

There's much in what you say. When I lived in a hot climate (over 100 degrees in the summer) I was very cranky when I had to do manual labor outside.

Just to note: according to this, Argentina is what works if you want to end up in China.

South Indian Ocean, equidistant between Madagascar (which I have head of) and "French Southern & Antarctic Lands" (which I have not). They appear to be real however, with a fancy French name, "Territoire des Terres australes et antarctiques françaises", and Internet country digraphs of .fs and .tf

When Chuck Norris climbs Everest, he starts in La Serena, Chile, swims 1000 miles due west, then dives to the bottom of the South Pacific and starts digging.

La Serena! I think I have relatives there, or something. Maybe I went there? It is all kind of fuzzy.

I'd end up just east of the western Sahara, but I'd swim a bit closer and head for Florida if it means I could visit y'all. Alternately I'd drive across my dang ol' continent to pick you up.
