Is australia in the orient? |
Travel Info Is australia in the orient? Travel Tips Technically, yes. "Orient" just means "east" as "occident" means "west". Australia is the same longitude as parts of eastern China and Japan. The word, however, has come to mean just eastern Asia just as Middle East includes parts of western Asia and north Africa. This is a European view that has been adopted by the Americas. From Australia's point of view, terms are meaningless. Others No, is in the south. How about using Yahoo Maps to find out where it is? No! It's south of Asia and New Guinea and north of Antarctica. No. it is the land down under. |
