Is Australia in Asia?

Posted on Wednesday, Apr 18th 2007

When I first arrived in the US, I was once shocked by a fellow freshman in college asking me, “Is India in China?”

This morning, Business Week, the Nation’s premier business magazine, shocked me once more. It has released a highly viewed story called Asia’s Most Liveable Cities, in which numbers 1 through 7 are cities in Australia and New Zealand.

My knowledge of world geography says, Australia and New Zealand are not in Asia. In fact, Australia is considered a Continent, as far as I knew.

I guess, Business Week now manages to confuse my sense of geography as well!
