Istana Bogor merupakan salah satu dari enam Istana Presiden Republik Indonesia yang mempunyai keunikan tersendiri dikarenakan aspek historis, kebudayaan, dan faunanya. Salah satunya adalah keberadaan rusa-rusa yang didatangkan langsung dari Nepal dan tetap terjaga dari dulu sampai sekarang. Saat ini sudah menjadi trend warga Bogor dan sekitarnya setiap hari Sabtu, Minggu, dan hari libur lainnya berjalan-jalan di seputaran Istana Bogor sambil memberi makan rusa-rusa indah yang hidup di halaman Istana Bogor dengan wortel yang diperoleh dari petani-petani tradisional warga Bogor yang selalu siap sedia menjajakan wortel-wortel tersebut setiap hari libur. Seperti namanya, istana ini terletak di Bogor, Jawa Barat. Walaupun berbagai kegiatan kenegaraan sudah tidak dilakukan lagi, khalayak umum diperbolehkan mengunjungi secara rombongan, dengan sebelumnya meminta izin ke Sekretaris Negara, c.q. Kepala Rumah Tangga Kepresidenan.

Asia is the biggest continent on Earth, a darling little gem floating around in space.
Hm, what is Asia? Who's in on it?
China and India are safe bets for Asian nations. Korea, Japan, Thailand, you're fine.
Europe? No. Europe would sort of be on the "Asian continent" if not for those pesky Ural mountains dividing things up in the middle, and then also the whole lineage of kings and wealth and nations and the EU and all that "give me my respect" stuff.
Russia would probably be happiest as its own continent, so for now we'll leave it in "Eurasia" and just hope the natural gas supplies keep flowing.
Pakistan and Afghanistan are dang close to Asia, but politically they show up in "Middle East" news stories an awful lot. Verdict: Eurasia.
I guess we'll actually have to consider everything from Turkey on eastward to be "Eurasian", although the moniker seems overlappitory of the territory.
The Asian economy is now officially raging like a wild furnace of lava that consumes everything in its path. Japan has had the largest individual economy in Asia for decades, but it is forecast that both India and China will outstrip Japan within twenty years.
China is the largest holder of United States debt and is positioned to become the world's next superpower, provided that Godzilla doesn't return and decide to stomp everybody back into the Shang Dynasty.
