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.
Tatarbunary, located in the Odessa region of southern Ukraine, near the Danube delta on the Black Sea coast, is a small city full of history. Its name is derived from the Tatar word for "Tatar spring", reflecting the cultural influence of the Tatars throughout history. The city's proximity to the Danube-Black Sea Canal makes it an important location, having served as a node for regional trade and navigation. The area is dominated by agriculture and fishing, and has a unique steppe and wetland landscape that attracts tourists to experience the Black Sea in the summer. Despite its small size, Tatarbunary is a blend of multi-ethnic cultural imprints and epitomizes the multiculturalism of southern Ukraine.
