  1. Anyone on here been to Russia? My cousin went ages back when it was less easy to get in there, sounded really fascinating.

     

    I have always wondered about the is it in Europe or Asia thing and after hearing about them in the first game of Euro 2012 found this:

     

    Russia is both in Europe and Asia. Most of it lies in Asia but more people live in the European part.

     

    Western or Central Russia is in Europe,

     

    40% of Russia is in Europe.

     

    Russia's biggest cities Moscow and St Petersburg are both in Europe.

     

    Russians living in the western Asian part don't consider themselves Asian. .

     

    Culturally, Russia is European, but most of the country is in Asia.

     

     

    So they can be in Europe when they want to be and Asia when they want to be. Cool!
