Africa.

The luminous continent, Bob Geldof called it once. I know it might seem toe curling to think of Geldof when I think of Africa, but it's not how it seems. I don't think about his aid projects or political battles to save the place, I think about his more recent writings of it as a beautiful place with amazing people, of such different and many varied cultures, together. And it makes me want to visit. But such a continent, su huge, where to begin? I'd like to speak to every person there, to here their story, so different as it likely will be to my own, but also how similar their feelings. To me, Africa is forever the luminous continent. That, and the aweful song by Toto. Abysmal.
