Asia
Asia is the most populated continent and probably by far the most diverse. I
can't even begin to imagine how many languages are spoken there, the list
under Facts on Asia is made up of only official languages. Asia has all types
of unique wildlife from the rainforests in India to the frozen Siberia in Russia.
It also has more history than anywhere else from the thousand year old
temples in Japan and China to the ancient city of Babylon in Iraq, plus the
holy city of Jerusalem in Israel. Regardless of what kind of activities you
enjoy, it can be done in Asia.
