Overview of Sao Tome and Principe (note on "Java")
São Tomé and Príncipe is an island country in west-central Africa, consisting of the islands of São Tomé and Príncipe and the surrounding islets, with the capital, São Tomé, located in the northeastern part of São Tomé. Located on the Gulf of Guinea, about 200 kilometers from the African continent, the country was colonized by Portugal in the 15th century and became independent in 1975, with Portuguese as the official language and an economy based on agriculture (cocoa, palm oil) and tourism. It should be noted that "Java" is not a city or region of the country; Java is the main island of Indonesia, with cities such as Jakarta and Surabaya, and has nothing to do with São Tomé and Príncipe, possibly due to a confusion of names.

Asmara, the Capital of Eritrea: Africa's "Little Rome" and a Treasure of Architectural Art
Asmara, the capital and largest city of Eritrea, is located in the northern part of the East African Plateau, at an altitude of about 2,300 meters above sea level, with a pleasant climate, and is known as the "Little Rome of Africa". The city was founded in the late 19th century as an Italian colony, leaving behind a large number of buildings that are a blend of ancient Rome, neo-classicism and futurism, and has been listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Asmara's straight and wide streets, intertwined with colorful Italianate architecture, vintage cafes and independence monuments, display a unique blend of colonial history and indigenous African culture. As the political and economic center of Eritrea, Asmara is not only a transportation hub, but also a pilgrimage site for architecture lovers around the world because of its well-preserved modernist buildings, which have been described as "Africa's most unexpected artistic treasures".
