I'm not entirely sure what the hell "Oceana" is composed of. All I know is they're not at war with East Asia and never have been. 
 
Alright I googled. Yeah, Oceania takes it by a mile. Just island paradise after island paradise.  Asia's going to win the poll, though, cus its a game forum and Japan is in Asia.

Antarctica.... while seemingly the dumbest answer, the reason I choose it is because it'd be like visiting the Moon in some way. Very few people have seen much of the continent, much less the secrets it must hold and the places that can be discovered there. It'd be like walking on ontouched ground that no one has ever explored before.  I think next up would be Asia, then Europe. 
 
Btw, the poll is kinda open-ended. I was originally going to say "magically". That is, if you could magically visit ALL parts of the continent and explore all there is to see. Therefore, with Antarctica, I think you would get to see much that very few people if anyone has ever seen before. Not that I'm a history expert or anything, I know it's been fully explored (or at least, I assume). But you know what I'm getting it. 
 
Btw Oceania is just so Australia has a chance. lol. So if you pick "Australia" you get to visit all of Indonesia and New Zealand too! :D

That's why i almost picked it. Do you know how many islands Indonesia has? It's insane. Also volcanos! Annnnd New Zealand is GORGEOUS. Not to mention Australia would be interesting too. 
 
I agree. Eveyrone here wants to see all of Japan. Much less China, Korea, Vietnam, etc.

Greenland is part of Europe and essentially it would be the same experience as Antarctica. Except without penguins.

Greenland is in North America. It belongs to Denmark though.

Africa seems the most interesting, combination of wildlife and natural beauty wins it for me. 
 
S. America was my close second.

That's awfully confusing. I guess cus the Canadian northern territories and Greenland basically have the same wildlife. Well scratch that. Come to North America! Polar bears.

Worst question ever. 
 
Asia is the largest of the 7 continents, why would you not go there? 
 
Not to mention it has a huge amount of variety when it comes to culture. It has all those religions you hear about all the time but never really look into because they aren't trying to kill each other.

People have given plenty of compelling reasons to not go there. The "bigness" doesn't come into play because a good chunk of that is the middle east, yuck, and inhospitably cold areas of Russia.

At first I was going to say Europe because you get such variety between Spain, France, England, Germany, Italy, etc.  But then I remember that Mount Everest and all of the Himalayan region is in Asia. Combine that with my love for Japan and it's gotta be Asia. I fell in love with Everest a few years ago after reading Into Thin Air and have been addicted to reading everything I can about it ever since. Likewise, Japan has just held my curiosity for so long. I hope to make it to both places someday.

Already seen't the shit out of Europe, and North America is... kinda home, so I'll go with Oceania. Asia and Africa don't interest me very much.

Nobody cares about the Amazon rain forest? Surprised at the general indifference to South America. If you took Spanish you can nearly get by (Portugese is surprisingly similar) just about anywhere on the continent, which can't really be said about anywhere else other than North America.

I feel like I can physically go to any of the major continents and islands if I really wanted to for really no trouble to myself at all. 
 
Antarctica on the other hand, would be incredibly difficult to trek through. This sounds like a hypothetical/wish so I don't want to waste it on something I could do one summer after saving up for a bit. 
 
Though I don't want to play down how dangerous some war zones in the world are. Yes, they'd be very difficult to really take in, I'm sure.

I agree completely.  The rain forest, the Andes, the coffee, the amazon river.  Jesus, I'll see the whole thing and stay forever.

It was a pretty hard decision, but because of it's history and elegance, I vote for Europe.

Since I'm Europian and have seen all countries (of my interest) therein, I definitely have a predilection for Asia. 
India, China, Japan etc. I'd really love to see at least once in my life.

I picked Africa because I went there over the summer and it seems to have a fair amount of variety and, at least in Zambia, and friendly people. But, yeah, Asia is tempting just because of Japan.

I can't see why the answer wouldn't be Asia, simply for the massive variety between countries. Russia, India, Japan, etc.
