When I was in Cyprus, I regarded it as Europe. The guide even made os go to Cape Greco the most south-eastern corner of Europe.
 
But flying home it stroke me, as we flew over Asian Turkey, that Cyprus then had me to be Asia as it is very east compared to the Bosperus Strait.
 
Cyprus is regarded Europe when it comes to soccer, the European Song Contest and the European Community, but that is just man made decissions. Look up any encyclopedia and it will say Cyprus is Asia.
 
Anyway, if you went to Madagascar - would you say you went to Africa. Or if you were in Greenland, where you then in America?
