Asia is the world's largest and most populous continent. It covers 8.6% of the Earth's total surface area (or 29.4% of its land area) and, with almost 4 billion people, it contains more than 60% of the world's current human population. Chiefly in the eastern and northern hemispheres, Asia is traditionally defined as part of the landmass of Africa-Eurasia – with the western portion of the latter occupied by Europe – lying east of the Suez Canal, east of the Ural Mountains, and south of the Caucasus Mountains and the Caspian and Black Seas. It is bounded to the east by the Pacific Ocean, to the south by the Indian Ocean, and to the north by the Arctic Ocean.

Asia is participating in a special CD for SERENITY HOUSE, a hospice based in the Philadelphia area. Asia contributed an unreleased unplugged version of "Don't Cry" from the Sirius Satellite radio performance in August of 2006. This is a limited release and all proceeds will be donated to Serenity House.
