The continent that Thailand is in is Asia. It borders Laos, Cambodia, and Mandalay. The South China Sea touches Thailand. "In Thailand it is pretty humid and it is a lot hotter than it is here in Fremont," my friend told me. I agree with him. When I searched it up, he was right, it is very humid there.
Good job Andrew Tan, Osi, and Felix. (even if i didn't read theirs, I know it's good)

1. The continent Taiwan is on is Asia. It's sort of like an island at the eastern part.
2. Taiwan is an island so it doesn't have any bordering countries. The countries close to Taiwan are: China, Japan, Philippines, and south Korea.
3. The Pacific Ocean, Philippine sea, East China Sea, and Luzon Strait border Taiwan.
4. In Southern Taiwan, the weather is hot and humid. The Northern part is still humid, but not as hot as the southern part. The temperature is also cooler in the mountain regions. Sometimes, sudden rain may fall frequently. The driest time of the year is autumn(September and October). During the summer, many typhoons strike Taiwan, so it's also called the typhoon season.
