Jamestown123: Brother, yes Russia is a transcontinental country, one of the few that are partially located in both Europe and Asia. The others are Azerbaijan, Georgia, Kazakhstan and Turkey. Armenia and Cyprus are as well geographically located in West Asia. 4 Likes 1 Share |

In my opinon, the countries in the Middlesic East are to be considered transcontinental as well, if not completely African. For instance, Israel/Palestine ought to be considered both African and Asian. 2 Likes |

India is major power that ought to become powerful still. My criticism about that mini continent is multifold, the first is in common with global democratic systems that are unfit for purpose. The purpose of government is to provide affordable elivating and uplifting service to the general public, security and defence of the realm. India meets majority of the requirements of good governace except for the democratic system that is unfit for purpose, although that is by no means exclusive to India, that collosal in terms military and security driven capabilities, a regional and major world power. Furthermore, we have to address the persecution of the untouchables and their rights to self determination. Apart from that, India is a succes story, which started off well, hard setbacks, dusted themselves down, and cracked on where they had left off. Now, they are trying their best to fulfil their own expectations. |

i was extremely thirsty , but i would never drink from the publich faucets. i forebeared my thirst from 6pm to 12pm. the last water boy past by me with some uninteresting drinks . i thought i would find a better choice from the next boy. but there was no next one. he was the last ! they just off duty. i arrived at the south tip of india at midnight. too dark to snap any photo. but i would take photos the following day when i returned in daytime. i was ripped off again , i had to stay in a lousy homestay with a grumpy old hag owner. for one thing good was, she escorted me back to the station to by a coca cola, she fended off the wild dogs for me. 2 Likes
