asiaDefinition from Wiktionary, the free dictionary Jump to: navigation, search See also Asia, Ásia, asía, Asía, asĩa, and ԱսիաFinnish(index as) From Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. Asia is the world's largest and most populous continent, located primarily in the eastern and northern hemispheres. It covers 8.6% of the Earth's total surface area (or 29.9% of its land area) and with approximately 4 billion people, it hosts 60% of the world's current human population. During the 20th century Asia's population nearly quadrupled. Asia is traditionally defined as part of the landmass of Eurasia — with the western portion of the latter occupied by Europe — located to the east of the Suez Canal, east of the Ural Mountains and south of the Caucasus Mountains (or the Kuma-Manych Depression) and the Caspian and Black Seas. It is bounded on the east by the Pacific Ocean, on the south by the Indian Ocean and on the north by the Arctic Ocean. Given its size and diversity, Asia — a toponym dating back to classical antiquity — is more a cultural concept incorporating a number of regions and peoples than a homogeneous physical entity (see Subregions of Asia, Asian people). The wealth of Asia differs very widely among and within its regions, due to its vast size and huge range of different cultures, environments, historical ties and government systems.

GNU Free Documentation License What do you think was the European trade impact on Asia? Q. "Europe's trade impact on Asia: first impressions" From the very first, European interests and colonistys have always declared that trade with Asia brought considerably more benefits to Asia than negative impacts.

Asked by Jassy - Fri Jun 15 14:34:25 2007 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments A. It is hard to generalize lumping everyone together as European. Early countries such as Portugal and Holland made fortunes off the spice trade, and had little regard for the natives. However the British invested heavily in the infrastructure of modern day India and Malaysia, this helped both succeed. While countries like Vietnam and Indonesia failed, because of the lack of investment and training by their colonial rulers.

Asked by mayfairkitty - Wed Mar 5 15:29:21 2008 - - 5 Answers - 0 Comments A. I have flown to the Philippines from Bangkok several times. Getting the plane ticket in Bangkok was no real problem at all. Purchase a round trip ticket to Bangkok, spend about a week or so there and then fly to Manila and visit there for a while, then fly back to Thailand for the rest of your trip. You could also fly to Manila first and then hit Thailand but I think it is easier and maybe cheaper to do Bangkok first.

The discount airlines may land at Clark Airport at Angeles City not Manila. Thailand is a little bit easier for getting plane tickets to other countries, lots of travel agencies… [cont.] Answered by karazyal - Wed Mar 5 16:41:40 2008 From Yahoo Answer Search: "asia"  reuters.com Wed, 01 Sep 2010 07:26:15 GMT+00:00 Reuters LONDON, Sept 1 (Reuters) - European shares are expected to open higher on Wednesday, mirroring gains in Asia , with a manufacturing rebound in China and ...
