Asia is often described as the largest continent. But in fact, it is actually the eastern section of an even greater landmass called Eurasia. The conventional boundaries of Asia encompass a vast area from the Ural Mountains, the Caspian and Black seas, the coasts of Asia Minor, the eastern Mediterranean, and the Red Sea to the island chains of Indonesia, the Philippines, and Japan.

"Getting Away With Jim Bruner" - your first stop for travel information on Asia! Click on your country of interest on the map below or on the list at the left. (In years of late, it has become difficult to sometimes distinguish between if a country is in Europe, the Middle East, Pacifica or in Asia as you will probably note by both the map and the list at the right. Jim.)
