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.
Jablonné nad Orlicí is a quiet town in the Pardubice region of the eastern Czech Republic, situated on the banks of the Orce River, next to the Polish border and about 30 kilometers from the city of Pardubice.

The town is known for its well-preserved traditional wooden houses and peaceful riverside landscape, making it an ideal place to experience the rural culture of the eastern Czech Republic.
