On a good day Icelanders will show you where the boundary between America and Europe crosses the Island. They tell you at that time that the western half of the country is in America and the Eastern in Europe. They would also tell you that Greenland is the first American country settled by Nordic people. If you look at the coordinates you will find that Greenland surrounds Iceland. Does that make Iceland part of America?

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? Jesper
