Only one continent is located entirely in the Eastern Hemisphere: Australia. You are thinking that Asia, Europe, and Africa also lie completely in the Eastern Hemisphere, which is false. The Prime Meridian (0˚ W/E) crosses through both Europe and Africa, as well as Antarctica, another continent some may confuse for being located entirely in the Eastern Hemisphere. The International Dateline (180˚W/E) crosses through Asia. The ID is not truly zig-zag in nature, as it's a line of longitude. It is portrayed this way on a map in economic and trading reasons, because anything east of the line is 24 hours behind anything west of the line.
So contrary to popular belief, the Americas are not the only continents located in the Western Hemisphere. Every continent but Australia is. And all continent but the Americas are located in the Eastern Hemisphere.
