Costs in Central African Republic are exorbitant for foreigners who plan to maintain a lifestyle similar to those in their origin country. Costs in some restaurants, hotels and supermarkets match or exceed those in the United States and other Western nations. Much of the commerce and goods must be flown or shipped into the nation, explaining the high costs for many goods. "Local" goods that are imported into CAR from regional nations such as Democratic Republic of Congo and Cameroon are slightly less expensive (rice, beans, water, etc.). Finally, many of the supermarkets in Bangui and other cities are owned by Lebanese people and families, so there is abundant Middle Eastern food imported into the country, although these products are ... very expensive. - Catholics in England -- Roman Catholics
The number of Catholics in England increased in the 1840s when many Irish immigrants came over from Ireland because of the potato famine. New churches were built around this period. St Chad's Cathedral in Birmingham, the first Catholic Cathedral to be built in England since the Reformation, was built in response to the growing Catholic population. For a long time the Catholic Church was seen as the religion of foreigners and not of gentlemen.

Newman was eventually made a cardinal and lived and worked around Birmingham. - The Red Hot Chili Peppers -- Bands

Senegal is one of the few African states that has never experienced a coup d’etat.

Senegal’s principal political party was for 40 years the Socialist Party (PS).

Historically France and the French language have had an enormous influence over American society. France was the United States' first ally. French thought played a dominant role among the founders of the United States in the 18th century, and it continues to shape America today through the influence of such intellectual currents as post-structuralism and post-modernism. In the humanities and the social sciences, many of the most important writings have come from France. Students and researchers who know French have access to these works for several years before they are translated into English. Many significant works are never translated and remain accessible only to those who know the language. - Tom Adams -- Years

In the bay fronting Marseille are several islands, including the islet of If, site of the 16th-century Château d'If, mentioned in The Count of Monte Cristo (1844), by the French novelist Alexandre Dumas père. Several forts protect the harbor, and on a high strip of land projecting west into the bay is the 19th-century Church of Notre Dame de la Garde, surmounted by a gilded statue of the Virgin Mary. The main shopping district is along a broad boulevard called the Canebière. Marseille has few relics of the ancient period, although it is the oldest city in France. In the late 1960s archaeologists uncovered parts of the Hellenistic ramparts of the city, and a section of the medieval Cathedral of La Major still stands. In the 11th-century crypts, over which the Church of Saint Victor was built in the 13th century, is an image of the Virgin Mary supposed to have been done by St. Luke. - Libya -- Countries
