Continent of Asia

“This is my advice to people: learn how to cook, try new recipes, learn from your mistakes, be fearless, and above all have fun!”

The Continent of Asia is the largest on the planet, both in area and population. It is home to forty-eight countries, including its most populous, China, which is where I was born! Asia is home to 60 percent of the world’s population and 30 percent of the world’s land. The Pacific Ocean, Indian Ocean, Atlantic Ocean, Arctic Ocean, Arabian Sea, Bay of Bengal, South China Sea, Yellow Sea, and the Bering Sea all border on Asia. Fascinating sites such as the Himalayas, the Gobi Desert, and the world’s highest and lowest points on Earth, Mount Everest and the Dead Sea, are all to be found there. We will begin our explorations in the northernmost country on the continent.
