Well, which one should I chosse?... for Southeast Asia.
Probably, East Asia. Thailand, to me, is more eastern than southern.
by the way, you should have Oceania instead of Australia because it will include Australia and nearby countries like New Zealand, and Fiji.
pepoluan
All countries on the Asia-Pacific rim is Asia/East.
Asia/South starts from Bangladesh westward.

Yes my bad, I should've written Oceania there :/ ... however technically Oceania is not a continent or subcontinent smile.gif

LOL biggrin.gif ... Russia and all countries west of the Caucasus Mountains can be safely called Europe.

It's Turkey that I'm not so sure... huh.gif

Well. I wouldn't say that. There are some provinces and halfly depended republics where the language is totally diferent from Russian ( mostly turkic dialects and of course Muslim religion). Crazy mix of turk(mongolian) and slovenian tribes. It's not Europe neither Asia. It's Eurasia. wink.gif

No spice here. I'm not living in the city centre, but the our city centre is showing the sad truth of 70/80s concrete jungle style of architecture. But there's a solution for the city: pull down all buildings and rebuild wink.gif

I'm from Adelaide, South Australia but will be moving to Buxton, England next week!

Edit: After seeing some users post links to info on their cities I thought I'd do the same.

Adelaide, where I was born and raised, is a lovely city and I'll miss it very much. If you're ever in Australia I strongly suggest you visit.

Buxton, my future home, is a wonderful almost rural town. I look forward to spending quite a few years there.
