I just found out about this place and it was so random. I was watching videos of Barack Obama admitting he was born in Kenya, and in one of the videos he said he was the first sitting US president to come to Kenya. So I Googled it to see if it's in fact true, and I found a Wikipedia list of "US Presidential visits to Sub-Saharan Africa." On some of the presidents it said they visited Gorée Island in Senegal. I was like, "What is this Gorée Island? So I did some more Googling and found THIS...

I digged a little deeper and found that the island is just 45 acres and home to just 1600 people, but is rich in history. During the colonial days, slaves were allegedly held here while they awaited shipment to the New World. Cars and crime are probited on the island.

Which would you prefer to visit?

Beijing China...

or Hong Kong?

Worth Noting...

Beijing is the capital of China. Hong Kong is a former British colony (before 1997) and is now a semi-independent Special Administrative Region (SAR) of China. Each is a modern city, rich in history. The native language in Beijing is Mandarin Chinese, few speak English. The native language in Hong Kong is Cantonese Chinese, though Mandarin is also recognized; many locals also speak English.

Which would you prefer to visit?

Perth Australia...

or Melbourne Australia?

Worth Noting...

Each city is the capital of its Australian state; Perth is the capital of Western Australia (WA), Melbourne is the capital of Victoria (VIC). Each is located on the water and is rich in Australian history. The native language in each city is English, with an Australian accent and idioms.

Don't be surprised if a local greets you with "G'day mate."
