Geography

Only today I realise that Russia is the biggest country in the world. Canada is the second.

This map is right in front of me every day but it's only today that I took a good look at it.

I know Russia is a transcontinental country but never did I know that it extends all the way from (Europe) Norway... Finland... Ukarine... Turkey... to (Central Asia) Kazakhstan... Mongolia then (Asia, or East Asia) China... & finally North Korea. It's very close to Japan & the US (Alaska) too. And I used to think it only connected to Finland, Kazakhstan & Mongolia.

I am so ignorant..
