Snag Only:
Italy is called "il Belpaese" (Italian for beautiful country) by its inhabitants, due to the beauty and variety of its landscapes and for having the world's largest artistic patrimony...
The name France originates from the Franks, a Germanic tribe that once occupied the region... More precisely, the region around Paris, called Île-de-France, was the original French royal demesne...
The characters that make up Japan's name literally mean "Sun's Origin" (Nihon) - thus Japan is known as "The Land of the Rising Sun" a name that comes from the country's eastward position relative to China...
Africa is a land of many names and tribes, but one name has long fit all of them well - The Dark Continent... Dark for it's wild and impenetrable jungles, dark for it's lovely ebon peoples, and dark for all it's mysteries yet to be uncovered...
I'd like to make a few more of this series, but haven't decided on which countries... If you have suggestions, leave a comment...

Greets from a belgian photoblogger!
I stopped by to see if you had logged on to A fallen Angel...
But your blog has been deleted. I just wanted to know that even though you are probably done with blogging, I enjoyed reading it.
Take care,
Charles
Charles - it was flagged for some reason and I'm in the process of having it restored... Sorry about that... :(
