Do I like to think of Cyprus as Europe? Yeah, but the
decision by UN to chose them as Asian is very logical.
Think about it. Cyprus is between Egypt, which is in
Africa and Turkey, which is in Asia. Why shouldn't
Cyprus be considered Asia. By the way, saying Europe
is a cultural entity is almost laughable. Brits,
Australians and Americans are probably closer
culturally than Brits and those Frenchmen. Since when
is Australia and America in Europe. Is there a happy
medium between the two ideas of physical and cultural
geography? Maybe, or maybe it is an unhappy medium.
By the way, Mike(s?), I updated my county oddities
pages a little. Besided the fragments I had from
before, I included the ones Mr Joseph Keene has found
and corrected some Colorado enclaves.
