#12 Know Your World: The true size of Africa
▶️ Africa is often poorly understood. Some people think it’s one country, some people think it’s not so big and, worst of all, some people think that this place doesn’t matter much. Meanwhile Asia is ageing and Africa is the youngest and may soon become the most dynamic (=active, developing fast) continent.

Today’s quiz is about a cultural misunderstanding in the following situation:
▶️ Selma and Lars are young couple from 🇸🇪Sweden. For their honeymoon (=a trip right after one’s wedding) they travel to 🇬🇷Greece and spend a romantic two-week holiday on an island in the Mediterranean Sea (=the sea between Europe and Africa). They decide to rent a car to explore the island. Right on the first day they almost crash the car as they drive on a narrow mountain slope (=a road going up or down) and see cars on the other side flashing their lights.

Pretty good!
👍 Traffic is a hotbed (=a place where a lot of bad things happen) of culture clashes. Unlike Southerners, Northern Europeans are relatively gentle drivers who stop at zebra crossings and rarely break rules.
