Hello mongolia,

"Sinai Peninsula - the corridor between the African and Aisan
continent."
SOURCE: http://www.safariegypt.com/hotels/#sinai

"Africa is linked to Asia in the northeast by the Sinai Peninsula and
separated from Europe by the Mediterranean Sea."
SOURCE: http://www.nhm.org/africa/science/intro.htm

"The Sinai peninsula is located between the Nile valley in Africa
and West Asia." 
SOURCE: http://www.millenniumassessment.org/en/assessments/c.sinai.htm

In summary, it appears that the Sinai peninsula is a land bridge
between the continents of Africa and Asia.

-------------------------------------

For Merci, if you are talking about Merci, Haiti, it would be on the
North American Continent.

Search Strategy (on Google):

"sinai peninsula" continent
haiti continent
mongolia
mongolia continent
haiti continent

Also looked up Merci in World Book Atlas (book) and found that it was
in Haiti.

Now wouldn't it be funny if Merci Mongolia meant:

Thank you, 
  Mongolia

Dear tisme

  As I happen to live in a French speaking country , sometimes I accidentally 
  slip back to 'La langue diplomatique' i.e. French. However it is nice to know 
  that Merci is also place in Haiti.
  
  Dear Bowler 
   
  So I assume the answer to my original question is  ASIA ?

  Thanks

Hello mongolia,

The embarrasing thing is that I live in Canada were the second
language is French. I had just woken up -- that is the best excuse I
can offer. :)

Yes, Asia would be the answer.
