Hello. Could you give me a background on Asia? 
 Wow, lots of information to give on Asia. That is quite a broad topic! Let's start with the basics. Asia it the largest continent on Earth. It's connected to Europe and collectively they are known as Eurasia. It is the foundation of some of the oldest known civilizations in the world. 
 Cool. I bet since it is the oldest known civilization tourism is extremely popular. What can you tell me about Tourism? 
 I would think so, too! MasterCard did a study. 10 of 20 tourist destinations are in Asia and areas of the Pacific Region. Bangkok was top ranked with over 15 million international visitors! 
 Wow. That's phenomenal. Is there a specific structure that people like to see? 
 Does the Dalai Lama count? If so, yes! 
 I'm not familiar with the Dalai Lama. What can you tell me about it? 
 It's a person. I guess you could say a spiritual leader. The current one has received approximately 84 awards over his career! 
 Oh cool. What can you tell me about the political geography? 
 I don't have any information about that, but I can tell you where some of it might have come from: Sumer, China and India. Asia also had the Persian Empire, the Mongol Empire and the Ming Empire. 
 Any other fun facts you can tell me about Asia? 
 The Russian Empire took over Siberia ad most of Central Asia by the end of the 19th century after invading in the 17th century. 
 Thank you for the information. 
 You're very welcome!
