Where are you based?

[quote author="ucomesdag" date="1302696495"]To make it more complicated I'm living in South America and Europe at the same time ;-)
Living in French Guiana between Brasil and Suriname and part of Europe :-)[/quote]Being part of a country that has (its major) part in one continent, does not make you live on that continent, IMHO. Otherwise, you'd also be living in Africa and, I think, Asia. And I would be in one of the two America's too. That is nonsense, of course. There are many countries spread over multiple continents, either by having overseas territories or by just being on the edge of a continent.

Thanks for the precious lesson, but I was just joking as you where discussing the definition of a continent with Gerolf ;-) -
Even the small number of people participating I haven't expected such results. At least I don't feel alone here in Europe ( sorry South American person :P ).
-
Not only am I the only North American here so far, I'm about as much in the center of the US (and North American continent, fwiw) as you can get! But, fortunately, it's not that lonely when we're all virtually here together!
I love how our community is close, even though the world is large.

Where are people from Russia supposed to vote?
-
I was wandering for Russia too making the poll :D You are welcome in Europe.
/offtopic @florent.revelut Why I see you as a Lab Rat ... this feels like a bug to me, but maybe you know better (after all you are entomologist) :)
-
Yes, that's right. Take half of Europe and half of Asia and you got Russia :D
-
Yeah...actually 40% of Europe and around 30% of Asia. But roughly 80% of the entire Russian population lives in the European part. Thank you wikipedia.

Not that it applies to me, I'm from Switzerland.[quote author="secretNinja" date="1302726405"]

I'm not sure that Russia is european country at all, but I've voted as Europe :) For me Russia is neither Europe nor Asia. It is Russia :D
-
Definetly :) All I was talking about was only geographic territory and continents.

Ah! +1 for South America. I was away from the Internet when this poll was created.
Greetings from Brazil ;)
