The site to which you are running the traceroute may use a CDN with an 
IP geolocation mechanism.

So, for example, if you query a DNS server on the US East Coast, you'll 
likely be routed to a CDN cache server located somewhere in the Eastern 
US; likewise, if you change
the resolver you query to one in Japan, you are probably going to be 
routed to a CDN cache node either in or geographically close to Japan.
