Turkey is Half-European (got the European side and the Asian side separated by the Bosphorus river).
Thought Russia and Georgia were Eastern Europe? Not 100% tho - coz different people think differently.

I know for a fact that a lot of Americans think Florida is in Asia tho.. hahhahaha.. if you're a Leno fan, you'de know wat i was on about.

I think Egypt is African, but most of the Middle Eastern countries are part of the continent of Asia so technically they are Asian, yes.

Geographically speaking, yes, those are considered "Asian" countries.

You don't have a clue what you are talking about. Egypt is an island off of Italy and is part of Europe. Please don't chime in on topics that you have no personal experience with. It makes the forum look bad.

Go back to that peninsula in the south pacific you call Colorado and go play in the sand. Your rude comments make the forum look bad especially when coming from a moderator that should be held to higher standards and represent this forum. I don't know how you became a mod but do us a favor and ban yourself!

Middle East and Persian Gulf are not continents. I think a lot of people need to dig out that round thing called a globe.

Egypt is in Africa. Most of Russia and Turkey are in Asia.

Cyrpus is not Asia. Used to be part of Greece. A part is owned by Turkey now, some is English and some independent but they will get in the EU soon.

Egypt is not Asian...
