[Update: Fixed Pronunciation of Curaçao. There was an array of "correct" options to choose from (cure-ah-sow/ker-ah-so/cure-ah-so/ker-ah-saow) I went with the US version here (which seemed to be one of the most common). My original attempt was nowhere close to any of these. Upside down smiley face emoji]
