Africa is not a country.

If you were going to the U.K., wouldn't you say you were headed to the U.K.? Same for Italy, or Finland even?

At first I thought you were being vague for OpSec.

Sadly, I haven’t actually been to any of those places. I’ve been to some places very close by and just referred to it as Europe, mostly because I was working and going to a few of them in quick succession. In the article above, I mention a place kind of close to some of these spots as well, but as you probably saw, it’s also just mentioned as Europe. So, maybe, but probably not. Haha

That said, I certainly don’t mean to give any credence to some idea that all African countries, or even many cultures within state borders, are the same. In fact, I’m hoping this post put in perspective some of the silly stereotypes westerners have about other parts of the globe.

Keep good notes ... you (too) could even write a book about it!

The UK is not a country - it's 3 1/2 countries, hence United Kingdom.

Certainly, I could have picked a better example.

But referring to internationally recognized (sovereign) countries, the UK fits.
