Re: Oceania
I've always known it as Oceania, with Australasia as part of it.

Re: Oceania
I'm with xaccers though I thought both where applicable.
I never new Bombay was renamed Mumbia though I thought they where 2 seperate places (off-topic but only realised very recently)
Does that mean I have to munch on Mumbia Mix?

Re: Oceania
How about this for an idea -
We could start a campaign to name the region between Britain and France. Let's see, we have England, Jersey, Guernsey and Alderney. How about "Channel 4"?
Well?

I think that is an example of what 'we' call a place and what the indigenous population calls it like Beijing and Peking

After the British gained possession, it was anglicised to Bombay, although it was known as Mumbai or Mambai to Marathi and Gujarati-speakers, and as Bambai to Hindi-speakers.[4] The name was officially changed to Mumbai in 1995, but the former name is still used by many of the city's inhabitants and famous institutions.
