How is ...?

How was Africa ?

I don’t know really. I was only in Guinea. I can tell you my take on that particular country but I can’t really say much about the rest of continent. Us PCVs always can't get over how funny this question seems to us. You wouldn’t ask someone who spent sometime say in Bulgaria, how was Eastern Europe? or someone who was in Uruguay for 2 years, and ask how was South America? N’est-ce pas? (right?)

How is China?

I don’t know. I am only in Beijing.

How is Asia?

I hope and I don’t think that I will get that question. Because I am finally in a more well recognized country. China is not all that is in Asia. People won’t lump Vietnam or Indonesia to China.
