Why is Europe considered a separate continent while India is considered part of Asia?
Q. Europe and Asia have been together for much longer than India and Asia and the boundary between Europe and Asia is less substantial than the boundary between India and Asia. KT Dyke: did you just make that up or do you have some support for your statement?
Asked by TC - Sat Mar 14 12:42:44 2009 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments
A. The accepted boundaries of Europe and Asia came about for cultural reasons, not essentially geographic. It began with the ancient Greeks who recognised a boundary between their cultures and others in Asia Minor. As the geography of the region became more understood, the arbitrary division of Europe and Asia extended along cultural lines, between societies viewed as 'Asian' or 'European'. Some of the boundaries follow geographic features such as mountain ranges and lakes, but that's because it also it marked tribal boundaries. The accepted boundaries were established before the advent of modern geology and the understanding of plate tectonics.

Where in Europe should my husband and I visit in March in Europe?
Q. My husband works with the United Nations and he has been gone from the United States since last May.

A. I really liked Dubrovnik in Croatia...its right next to the sea and has stunning coastlines with crystal clear waters!! The town is quite small so only a few days is needed...if you want Split is only a few hours up the road and also on the coast. I was really surprised at the history that these places have...like Split has the earliest or one of the earliest cathedrals dating back to the 4th C or something like that! I went in April and found the weather warm, so I would say that it will be plesant I guess in March and maybe a little cool. I really loved Croatia...I hear the islands are wonderful there ( I missed out on them) and the National Lakes are great too ( again I missed out on them). if you don;t mind travelling the area, then… [cont.]

A. Almost every college and university in the US accept international students -- most even have a special office for that purpose. They will have to pay out of state tuition fees however. She'll also need to take the TOEFL test in Belgium. Some colleges may also require the SAT. You might have her start looking at colleges she'd like to attend and then contacting their international student offices directly. Once she has been accepted, she'll use that acceptance to go to the US Embassy and apply for her F1 visa.

What is the cheapest airline to go to Europe?
Q. I'm planning a trip to Europe in May. My roommates and I are planning on flying into any city in Europe (whichever is cheapest) and traveling around Europe for a month before flying out of the same city. We are trying to find the cheapest flight possible. Could anyone tell me which airline is cheapest, and which city is most likely to be the cheapest to fly into? We're pretty flexible, but we'd like to fly into a bigger city--Athens, Rome, Frankfurt, etc. Any city that is also somewhere that would be a good place to see while we're in Europe.

How is Europe going to affect uk inflation in the near future?
Q. EU-15s inflation is 1.8% according to OECD. Does inflation in europe and other economic factors in EU affect CPI inflation in UK? if so, what are these other factors and how might they shape our consumer prices?
Asked by hazelmarie - Fri Oct 26 14:36:32 2007 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments
A. The main reason why European inflation can affect UK inflation is due to the mass trade in goods between countries leading to interdependency. Basically if prices in European good rise these increase prices will be translated in the UK market when these goods are exported there. As a result UK consumers arent pressured to keep low prices by low priced imports and thus this gives them more room to "breathe" in terms of the prices they charge consumers. As a result higher EU inflation will lead to UK inflation because UK producers no longer have to keep prices as low to compete with imports or indeed with exporting their goods in the EU market

The modern democratic state is always attributed to Western Europe and its history by books, professors, history, government, etc...I understand that the founding fathers of America come from Western Europe, so that is why.

A. There's a lot of guff spoken about this idea of democracy. Our modern representative, inclusive democracies owe nothing to Ancient Greece but the name. After the fall of the Roman Empire, and the rise of the Feudal system, limited governments emerged and they developed by the 19th century into the modern sort of democracy. As for republics, well the Maya had a type of government in the Post-Classic period called a multepal, a sort of republic.

How does universal healthcare in Europe work?

A. I am English and now live in California. Like most people I thought that there was a huge tax burden in Britain, but after coming here I now think that's not the case.We pay two forms of tax from our wages:Income tax and National insurance. Your income tax is tax like everywhere else, national insurance pays for your pension and healthcare. I have lived in England all my life up till now and I will fiercely defend our healthcare system, the NHS (national health service). In thanks largely to the effort of our heroic doctors and nurses (and all other staff) the NHS survives...the healthcare is nothing like as bad as people make out, and there are no long waiting lists anymore (now if you're waiting more than six months for routine surgery… [cont.]

A. The thing that is great about Europe is all the trains that connect from major city to major city, so i would look at that as my get to from place to place. First off, i would narrow it down to the main cities you HAVE to see. So pick a few, maybe Paris, Rome, Madrid, Brussels, Amsterdam, and then figure out how you're going to get from place to place. And while going from place to place you can see all the places inbetween them, like going from Brussels to Amsterdam, pick some places to stop off. yess, it seems very confusing, but the main point is narrow down the places you have to see, then start thinking of how to get from place to place and where you are going to stay.

How do flight taxes work from USA to Europe and why do they change depending on location?
Q. How do flight taxes work from USA to Europe and why do they change depending on location? For example, most flights have around $200 taxes on them, but some have up to $400. Why? Is this changeable? Also, is it possible to find a summer flight from USA to Europe for under $800 from a legitimate source?

A. Some taxes are imposed by the airport operator-- and as such they will very from airport to airport.. Others however are national taxes and are the same regardless of where (within the same country) you depart. With international tickets you also have to remember that there are two sets of taxes: departure as well as ARRIVAL taxes.. For example, on a UK-USA ticket, the UK government imposes departure taxes as well as taxes set by the UK airport operator. The US government also imposes taxes on all passengers arriving into the US to help offset the costs of Immigration, Agriculture and Customs handling.. Remember that ticket taxes are not set nor controlled by the airlines-- they are set by the government, local taxing authority and/or… [cont.]
