Continuing from where I left off...
Cuba- The cigar is a lasting symbol, though the economy went up in smoke a long time ago.
China- Their English is funny or music to the years, depending on how you look at it. But their political aggression is not.
Indonesia- Good 'bad'minton players- a paradox? And lots of earth-shakes.
Australia- People of dubious ancestry who managed to spoil the gentleman's game with rough play- and the virus has caught on.
Sub-saharan Africa...where is that exactly? Except in reports on poverty, nobody talks about it.
South Africa-Mandela is absolutely the most forgiving man who ever lived. Hats off!
Kenya- the most famous giraffes in the world live here.
Brazil- The Samba, Pele and the annual jamboree on the streets make a heady combo.
Bhutan- They measure the Gross Happiness Index. Could they be the most sensible country on earth? Possibly.
Norway, Sweden, Finland- There's light at the end of six months here, so everyone who lives there must be an optimist!
Egypt- Barring Hindi films (older ones), the only place where Mummies get the respect they deserve!

then there is this whole linguistic jargon to define places - did you know that the Mid East is property around Jerusalem but then the Mid West is St Louis?
Go figure!
