Is Georgia in Europe or Asia?
In his "Achenblog" today, the Washington Post's Joel Achenbach discusses whether the former Soviet republic of Georgia is in Europe or Asia. A bit of geography to start your day.
Being a geologist rather than a geographer, I'm of the opinion that it's in Eurasia, but no one's asking me...

I have not read the article yet, but I vote for Asia. If all but the tiny part of Turkey is Asia, then Georgia would be too...ok, there is my opinion.
Is that Eurasia thing a kind of diplomats view? It's not Europe, it's not Asia - it must be Eurasia. ;)
Asia geographically. But Europe culturally. Like Israel.
Silver Fox,
Actually I was going with a contintental bias: "Europe" and "Asia" are cultural designations rather than landmass names.
I'm not very diplomatic, but I'm glad that it worked out that way this once... :)
