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.
Located in the northern part of Liechtenstein at the foot of the Alps, on the border with the Swiss canton of St. Gallen, Schellenberg is one of the smaller of Liechtenstein's eleven municipalities, with a population of about 800. The town is known for its tranquil nature and deep history, and boasts the ruins of the medieval castle of Sint Schellenberg (Burg Schellenberg), once an important historical landmark in Liechtenstein. With German as its main language and a slow pace of life, the local population has retained its traditional Alpine cultural identity. Despite its small size, Sint Schellenberg, with its convenient location near the border and unexploited nature, is an ideal destination for hiking enthusiasts and travelers looking for tranquility, and epitomizes a taste of the slower life in the small country of Liechtenstein.
