Emmm... No it isn'. Oceania is the continent in which Australia is in.

 Depends on where you are from.  Wikipedia has this.  They say Oceania is used in SOME textbooks.

There are numerous ways of distinguishing the continents:

I grew up being taught it was called Australia...and that's pretty much acceptable in most of the world as far as I'm concerned..

^^ Sorry then. In Greece we call it Oceania and I thought it was the same with the rest of the world as it's the same in the UK. Sorry Ben :(

Atlanta's educational system is one of the worst in the entire country, I'd hardly call it a shining example of the American educational system (although Public schools all lag far behind).

There are many bright Americans and there are many bright Europeans, and just as many idiots in both areas. (I've been in Europe, I know it exists.)

Blame the British.

I studied that it was called "Oceania" too... For me, Australia is a coutry, as it is new zealand... both of them are from oceania.

Curious things...

PS: I Blame the Brittish too...

PS2: Konnichiwa... tired? far from it... 

I've in france for 20 days this summer). For example, I had to cover my nose in the subway, as no one seemed to had a shower in the morning (and this does not happen in america!!).

==> the subway smell bad,
not 90% of the french people !!!! lol

and yes, I'm sure france wanted to protect her place in middle east, it is why they were against the Irak invasion.
but I'm sure USA wanted to improve their place, it is why they wanted to invade Iraky.

personnaly, I still think Irak invasion was bad, whatever you refer to petrol or not.
Invade a country WITHOUT any plan for the "post-war" peace exit is senseless.

I mean,it smelled like a dirty and sweated amrpit... I was not talking about "bad smell", or "trash smell", but "human smell"

We were 4 people, and we all thought the same... Here in madrid you can smell it int the subway sometimes, in france you smell it 3x times more xD

Maybe are just anti-french illusions of my dirty mind...

PS: In lafayette galleries too...

yes the subway in madrid is better
I found it too
(I spend 4 day 3 months ago)

but it is not the people that smell shit in the subway (paris), it is more the place itself that smells .... the subway lol.

the subway can smell dirty human if you come in the summer, in the late afternoon, when people come back to home..
