    No, not to do with sport. To do with the labour camps where dissenters against Imperial Russia and later the Soviet regime were sent. Fairly major part of 20th century history. Also, Siberian tigers who are now an endangered species.

    I know that, I have read Anne Applebaum's book Gulag. But is Sibiria part of Europe? Hmmm? Didn't make the connection with tigers and prisoners, really. How do you connect those two?

    But for information, the quest counted, even though it was started early.
    Which means - when I was supposed to choose Siberia, Major Quimby was alredy there. But when he finished, the quest was also finished. Good to know.

  • And yet, rather ironically, it's done nothing for your language skills...

    What - me? Don't understand.

    Siberia is part of russia. Russia is both in europe and asia. The whole continent is alled eurasia. This includes Europe, asia and the middle east.
  • Some of the clues are clever, but none have been particularly tough.

    Ok, don't know where you are from, but I have never heard of anyone here in Scandinavia saying that we are living i "Eurasia". Whatever. Not that important.

  • Wikipedia says: " The division between Europe and Asia as two different continents is a historical and cultural construct, with no clear physical separation between them; thus, in some parts of the world, Eurasia is recognized as the largest of five or six continents. "
    Whoa, whoa, whoa – I only accept cash, bitcoin, or GameStop stock.

    I had a teacher who usually referred to Afro-Eurasia when he talked about Asia, Africa and Europe as only one continent lol

    I have the running with the bulls flight. I'm not learning anything, always been a Huge map buff, but I'm loving the clues-very clever writing :)
    Nothing as loud as the silentmiaow.
  • I'm glad we got back into this. 420 pounds....why was it tobacco and not a more "timely" substance?

    The way the Oceanic islands blend right into it maybe Afro-Eurasia Islands would be appropriate? Lol.

    I'm sure that was for me, OP. The title says "learning" instead of "edumacating". I've been laughing myself silly at the comment. No worries.
    Here is my signature. Or maybe it's not.
