Why do you keep saying 'we're going to Europe' when there's such a big difference between Paris and Dunblane lol

@StygianKohlrabi Because the states are all part of one country, that's why. It's like, could you point out where Co. Wexford is on a map of Ireland if you weren't Irish?

@StygianKohlrabi Exactly. Each country in Europe is an independent country.

@SW-User so you visit 25 countries you have to say each one
SW-User
@StygianKohlrabi Yes.

@SW-User For example. I've visited UK, Ireland, France, Germany, Holland, Spain, Denmark, Sweden, Italy, Switzerland, Greece, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Romania, Austria, Russia, and Malta in Europe. 17 countries. I've said them all.

stranger: so what are you going to do in UK, Ireland, France, Germany, Holland, Spain, Denmark, Sweden, Italy, Switzerland, Greece, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Romania, Austria, Russia, and Malta?
you: in UK, Ireland, France, Germany, Holland, Spain, Denmark, Sweden, Italy, Switzerland, Greece, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Romania, Austria, Russia, and Malta I'm going to sightsee.
stranger: I hear UK, Ireland, France, Germany, Holland, Spain, Denmark, Sweden, Italy, Switzerland, Greece, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Romania, Austria, Russia, and Malta are just lovely.
whereas you could've just said Europe and saved your breath.

@StygianKohlrabi Each of these countries is a fully independent, self-sufficient state with its own cultures, languages and sights. And btw I didn't visit them all on one trip.

@SW-User nobody is disputing that but I can still recommend the latter way of speaking
SW-User
@StygianKohlrabi I don't actually get your point.

@SW-User saying the names of 25 countries is too verbose
SW-User
@StygianKohlrabi No American makes a trip to Europe and visits 25 countries.

@SW-User I went to 16
SW-User
@StygianKohlrabi cool. In one trip? And how long was the trip?
