Checking out the rules on fewmiles, I'm rather confused when it lists the stopevers permitted:

AFRICA 4
ASIA 5
EUROPE/MIDDLE EAST 4 - NO MORE THAN 2 OF WHICH MAY BE TO/FROM THE MIDDLE EAST
NORTH AMERICA 6
SOUTH AMERICA 4
SOUTHWEST PACIFIC 4

But then it goes on to say:

NOTE -

1/ A STOPOVER IS A BREAK OF JOURNEY IN EXCESS OF 24 HOURS.

2/ THREE FREE STOPOVERS PERMITTED IN EACH CONTINENT OTHER THAN THE CONTINENT OF
COMMENCEMENT OF TRAVEL.


Is it 3 or 5 in Asia?

Thanks,
