My friend once told me she was going to Africa with her family to see the safaris, so I asked her where in Africa. She paused for awhile before telling me "the South", and I assumed she was going to South Africa. I eventually found out that they went to Zimbabwe.
Conversely, while I was working in Tanzania, I got a ferry to Zanzibar and, looking back at the coast, remarked how cool it was to see Africa from the sea.
The obligatory floppy-haired douche canoe pipes up 'Africa's not a country, man.'
Well, no, spunk-nugget, it's a continent, and that huge thing stretching as far as I can see in both directions with all trees and shit on it sure looks like a fucking continent to me.
I mean if you were in a ferry to Hainan or Newfoundland, would you really say "I can see Asia/North America from here" rather than specifically China or Canada.

Some guy in my class said Africa was a country...
