6 or 7 continents?

Current mood: curious

funny, in the united states we learn that there are 7 continents in the world...asia, australia, europe, africa, antarctica, north america and south america.

i've learned that here in colombia and all latin american countries...there only exists 6 continents in the world....asia, australia, europe, africa, antartica, and america (both north and south).

now i'm not sure if the u.s. is the only country or if latin american countries are the only ones who teach differently. i would love to find out. i will let you know what results from this.

i remember when i was younger saying i was american...south american. i'm pretty sure andres and i learned that from my parents, that america is one whole continent. cheers!
