Just skip to 10:15. You're welcome.
This time I fly "Solo"-mon. Actually not. WE GOT A SOLO to Join us! Meet TERRY! (Thanks to geograpeep Josue for getting me in contact with him too) Huge props to him for being in this episode, he was a little anxious because he had no camera experience and English is his 3rd language (after Isatabu and Pijin) but I was NOT going to let a unicorn walk away. You rock Terry! ALSO, we only BRIEFLY mentioned the history, and didn't have enough time in this episode for Famous people, So I'll add it in Fan Friday.
Ok
Second
Okay!
Love your videos Barb!
no way
Absolutely Loved Terry as a guest, you can tell he’s not used to being in front of the Camera but he put in 100% effort
I told him, "just talk!- you can check the teleprompter for notes if you need to but honestly...Just have fun! It's YOUR country! "
@@GeographyNow Looks like your advice was quite effective 👌🏿 💯
@@GeographyNow next Episode: Geography Now Sri Lanka 🇱🇰❤❤
@@GeographyNow what will you do after you done all countries in the world? Will you check autonomous regions in the world alphabetically too?
Ok
"Bloody Ridge"? I can only imagine that when the british came along to colonise the islands, one of them found this spot and said "That's a big bloody ridge!" and that name just stuck lmao
Let's just say the "Bloody" part of the name gives away why it's called that
Colonise*
@@jacobrawlinson12 the spelling with a Z is accepted as well.
The British probably made people *disappear* there
I have bad news bloody ridge used to be known as edsons ridge but it was renamed my us marines in the 1940's. I will let you guess why.
Moral of the story: Solomon Islands is truly an underappreciated country.
Yeah and the whole region of islands
It is an amazing place I was brought up there been back a few times and would love to go more
Most melanesian countries are 😣
@@cerebrummaximus3762 americans dont even know more than 10 countries
but it's good that way! They don't have mass tourism damagin their ecosystems and their culture
They killed the snake but he’s still alive
He’s too powerful
Basically they destroyed its physical form, but did not destroy its soul.
@@demonetized7803 sounds like Sauron... quick throw his ring into the volcano!
@@demonetized7803 Voldemort??? He is from Slytherin and he has a pet snake.... and... people thought he was dead.... but... no... because he had horcruxes... ooooooo
Probably gonna get thrashed for this but is his power level over 9,000?
Terry is such a chill sweet dude, I love him
Yes indeed
@@vrba243 yup..
He has a really cool accent too lol
14:28 He act like an adorable kid😭😭

This is how to study without feeling like it.
In other words, how I learned everything growing up - studying without feeling like it. :)
To me it's not studying x) it's purely entertainment. If studies were that easy it'd be boring and in the end we wouldn't have learnt much
Edit : I forgot to say that I'm a geography/remote sensing Master student, so my viewpoint on this channel is a bit specific
I agree with Chris
Much haven't been said in detailed and i kinda still wanted to hear more randon facts and the history of my country that weren't mentioned above😅
That's how i study every geography
I wish I had tests on this stuff
Terry is a star. Keep him for future episodes.
Hi Paul and GeoNow Team.I am Melanesian from West Papua Province of Indonesia.I am so glad that you mention us Papua and West Papua Province of Indonesia as a melanesian in this episode cuz we didn't get the recognition as we should.We always categorized as a South East Asian by culture,meanwhile we have nothing in common with any other South East Asian Nation.
We also share the same physical trait and similar culture( also *beetle nut )with PNG,Vanuatu,Fiji and Solomon Islan.
@Ryne 4S if we wanna talk abt Papua Politic and the connection with Indonesia,topic abt papua politic itself arise in 2000's after long years of failed integration.And if you care enough to read abt papua's politic then you'll find that politic culture in Papua and other region in Indonesia is as diferrent water and fire.The history of Colonialism and integration in 1963 shape the way Papua's politic occur in this modern time.
@Ryne 4S you seem to be like break other countries. i am sure as an indian too that papua can't sustain without indonesia because unity only can make you rich and if we talk about recognisation, kazakhstan,uzbekistan, turkmenistan andother pacific islands till now many people don't know. so i don't think anyone can get recognisation by independence because everyone will forget you after some years if you don't develop like singapore.
You are from a very interesting part of the world!
Blame the Dutch
The Netherlands treated their East Indies colony as a unitary state ruled from Java so it's not surprising that the independent rulers insisted on the same model
I think the British or French would have done it differently
This country seems like the country with the chillest people on earth
All small island countries are like that
Except for the skull island place
legal weed ;)
Philippines : let me introduce my self
I don't know, they had a civil war and riots.
Damn, this one may be one of the best episodes of all Geography Now period. You have brought guests before but on way more known and famous countries, but bringing a Solomon Islander? This was epic.
We must protect that Solomon Islander at all costs
Art is soooo HOT🔥
I Like Terry. He seems like a really nice guy. I hope he will appear in more countries episodes.
How can he appear again when this is the country he is from lmaoo
@@Islandman776 Right.
Like Vanuatu 🇻🇺
This is where King Solomon used to mingle and chill. No wonder why he had so much enthusiasm.
Bro king Solomon was a king in the Middle East
@@arik2492 I know, it's just a wordplay joke bud.
He is mentioned to be possibly the smartest person ever to excist
@@marcelo1458 Enlighten me if you may, What's the wordplay?
@@cashmoney8855 if he did exist.
The fact that their longest river is called Lungga is funny to me as a romanian , since in romanian the word "lung/lunga" means long.
Greetings from the UK 🇬🇧🇷🇴
Replace the u in "lunga" for o and we get a Portuguese version of long.
The Yangtze/Chang Jiang River of China translates as "Long River"
Replace the a in "lunga" with o and it's long in italian
@@angelocicognini6174And replace the u in "lunga" with å and it's long in swedish
Drinking game: Take a shot every time they mention that Bougainville is an autonomous region of Papua New Guinea
They have to keep saying whilst they still can! Independence beckons!
This comment is attempted murder
Well I played, now my liver is failing...
I read this right as he mentioned it the first time
Nah, I want to live
My hometown in Spain is called Guadalcanal too. Cool.
Very excited for Spain episode, but Somalia has to pass first 😄
Guadalcanal's discovery by westerners was under the Spanish expedition of Álvaro de Mendaña in 1568. The name comes from the village of Guadalcanal, in the province of Seville, in Andalusia, Spain, birthplace of Pedro de Ortega Valencia, a member of Mendaña's expedition.
You,re right. Spanish Explorer Alvorede Mendana discovered the Solo Isles
What a crazy transition that we went from Balkan Europe to Melanesian Oceania with the most underrated country of all that region, Solomon Islands 🇸🇧. Like seriously underrated since it has beautiful beaches and islands overall!
It it an amazing place so much to see I would love to go back one day
Why ya saying its crazy? Thats offensive dud
It'd probably be nice for it to stay underrated tbh, we've seen what happens to place like Bali when the world knows about their lovely beaches
@@sonja5058 in hindsight, I feel that since the country before was Slovakia, I feel that both Slovakia and Solomon Island have stuff in common from starting with S and being countries with lots of beautiful things yet fly under the radar
When guadalcanal comes to mind I still remember the battle of guadalcanal during WW2
Me too. My grandfather survived that battle.
I have two uncles fought in the battle of Guadalcanal , one was one my fathers three older brother who served and the other was one of my mothers three older brothers who fought in WW2 as well ,he received the first of his two purple hearts at Guadalcanal .
Same, I heard of that battle, but never knew it was the Solomon Islands. That was truly an epic naval battle. The last major naval battle to be fought in close range using old school naval guns. There must be a lot of unexploded shells and bombs littering the sea floor posing a hazard to scuba divers.
The misserable starvation island with rampant disease and malnutrition that took a toll on both side most likely Malaria and diarrhea.
@@bangscutter especially the battle between battleship Uss Washington and South Dakota against the IJN Kirishima
I was very surprised a few years ago when I found out that the Solomond Islands are bigger than my country Macedonia, considering they are in Oceania. I hope you qualify for the FIFA World Cup one day Solomons, because you are getting very close! 🇲🇰❤🇸🇧
How's like living in a small country? Do you go vacations always abroad as it's easy to travel ?
By “Macedonia” you mean north Macedonia right?
Btw I’m half Greek from the Greek Macedonian region
Brooo...we are SOCCER CRAZY!!!if that happened there'd be a month long public holiday...haha..
@@encryptic8676 so what
As an Aussie I always look forward to seeing our neighbours represented. As a very close neighbour I enjoy seeing the many varieties of Melanesian culture that are represented here in Cairns FNQ. Especially love seeing how patriotic Solomon Islanders are as they always proudly ware their colours.
Man Oceania really is the most mysterious place on earth it's simply magical
It is bro as an Aussie i've been to many islands most have a bit of western influences but if you want to live the simple life it's so easy to go off the grid.They really community based and poverty really doesn't exist cause you can basically live off the land and sea with very little need for money.
@@GL-ys8je As an Islander that is 100% fact about us even though some of our low-class people find it difficult to get money but we are totally rich on land and sea resources for survival.
One of the amazing things here in the solomon was that in rural life, you feel like you are in paradise. Almost everything is free. People were very friendly with strangers and were more welcoming. As compared with the Western world today. It is very frustrating if you don't have money. What a life.

I was literally watching the Slovenia episode when this came out and I only noticed when I finished watching
S h u t
@Alexa Tri Welcome to visit anytime☺️👍(From a Solomon Islander)
This is one of the most interesting episodes I’ve seen in Geography Now!
Having a native from the country, specially when it’s a country most people know so little about, makes such a difference.
Great stuff!!
Lmaoooooo...
I almost choked on a tater-tot while watching the animated pregnant woman shoot out the twins 😂🤣😂🤣
Only 3 oceania countries left: Tonga, Tuvalu, Vanuatu.

Love to Solomon Islands from the Philippines
🇵🇭❤️🇸🇧
Kamanda, Terry! Tagio tumas, Geography Now, for making this video about our country. 💯
Warm greetings from Solo. 🇸🇧
I love Terry’s chill vibes, please keep him for more episodes
Stolen
My Grandfather visited Guadalcanal once but the Marines told him to "get bent" so he went to Bougainville, where other Marines told him to "get lost". So he went to the Philippines and did just that.
How so
@@professorrosenstock5026 Oh, He became a prisoner of war there but managed to run for his life, with a few others. Find a cave stashed with weapons and make it to the coast, were they would be rescued by Seabees.
Terry is so precious we must protect him at all costs
Some music you missed is the local pidgin hymns, as featured in the Hans Zimmer soundtrack to “The Thin Red Line”, and more recently sampled by Vampire Weekend.
Terry is amazing. Please
Keep him. Love from 🇹🇿 Tanzania.
We're getting closer to the end and I still wonder what Barbs will do after the Zimbabwe episode...
I think he will be like drew binksy and travel around the world
Or maybe he will just restart the series because information may be outdated
I think he needs to do the disputed areas and hopefully the States of the US individually
@@lorenzjudeceloso2444 I'm kinda scared for the US's video ngl... Just all the info and everything and diversity and everything else... Biggg yikesss-
@@shadowpuppet7964 plus the drama in Politics like wat da hell
That snake story is so wacky i love it
Somalia next....I’ve been waiting YEARS for this, since episode 1!
Sow Dawoow!
Yeah can't wait. Woow.
@Greater Somalia it's not easy Somalis are different creatures
Same
Who cares? This country is way more interesting and unique
When Keith said, "Buy my shirt, not Hannah's", it was the first time he showed any dislike of her in these videos. I always felt the Hannah-Keith "rivalry" was one-sided; Hannah would call Keith disgusting, then Keith would show up, burping or hog-calling.
In the Fan Friday episodes Keith has responded to the rivalry a couple of times. I think the rivalry started because Keith likes the Gators and Hannah likes the Crimson Tide.
Ayee thats my Country 🇸🇧! This is one of the best informative geographical channels out there. Awesome job Terry!
Seeing alot of positive comments about my home country Solomon Islands 🇸🇧 here really melts my heart🥺 like yes we are far from modernization but we're thankful for our beloved beautiful country 💙😍white Sandy beaches with natural air to breathe ❤️yeah that's right a tropical gateway 😌🌬️🌴 the colours from our national flag also hold deep meanings 🇸🇧Blue: The Blue Seas💙 Yellow: The white sandy beaches that always reflects the forever summer sun💛Green: Our forever green Tropical rainforests rich in flora and fauna💚 the Five Stars: The five main islands🥰. Solomon Islands is amazing. When the Covid-19 is over please come see Solomon. So Solomon So Different 🇸🇧🤍
It sounds like such a cool country. I think I want to visit
Is it in africa
@@hanankhadar3166 no asia
@@hanankhadar3166 bruh
Btw follow 8 limbs of yoga mate 🙂
My grandfather was stationed during WW II and said it was the most beautiful place he ever saw .
I’d love to see Terry on here again, such a cool guy
My mom always referred to the blonde hair blue eyed Melanesians as “those little surfer children”
how ignorant
ehMontiiro yeah but not everyone is an anthropologist.
..they probably wouldn't mind being called that..most natural blondes are 'salt water children',and are pretty darn good at 'canoe surfing'..
arrogant thinking
Ranjan Biswas who you?
These are always so relaxing to watch. Considering I’m a huge geography/history fan, I love these!
Also Terry is a super chill guy, I hope we see him in other videos!
My grandfather was a photographer for the New Zealand Air Force during WWII and he served in the Solomon Islands, specifically Guadalcanal.
I just discovered Geography Now last week and been binge watching... Some of your episodes make me cackle with joy, literally laughing out loud (history/geography nerd humor is the best!!!!). Keep up the amazing job. Peace from France !
It must be pretty rare to meet a person from Solomon Islands unless you live on the West Coast.
Love you Solomon Islands from Australia! It's sad that there are many Australians who don't even know about our neighbouring country's existence. 🤦♂️
I hope I can visit one day! 🇦🇺❤🇸🇧
Hey @Barbs, I love the fact that you're giving most of the introduction to Terry. You were encouraging him... so noble of u 😊😊
You did great ! Thank you! We love seeing people talk about our country with proper knowledge! 🇸🇧❤️
Yes Yes☺️🇸🇧
Greetings from palau 🇵🇼🇵🇼🇵🇼🇵🇼🇵🇼🇵🇼

un saluto dall'Italia, thx guys for this incredible channel, never give up when a project is so great!
2 year life in Rennell Island.. great moment!
This episode was one if the best yet! Wow, you guys rock, keep it up!
You missed your opportunity to talk about Tikopia Island in Temotu Province, an island observed for its sustainability
So far this is one of my favorite episodes good job and keep it up much love from Kansas 🇺🇲
Wantok 🇸🇧👍🏽
greetings from PNG 🇵🇬
Thanks, Terry! It takes a lot of courage to be on a show like this and you did great. ^.^
OMG, now i started to love this country so much! 😍🇹🇷❤️🇸🇧
My contry is boring (a bit)
I love your country too Turkey
I really want to see a movie or a cartoon about the twins fighting the diamond headed snake
always amazing to have the perspective of an actual native. great episode as usual, keep it up!
Much love to our beautiful cousins of the Solomon Islands. Wonderful humble people.
YOOO THE SUDAN EPISODE IS NEAR IVE BEEN WAITING FOR YEARSSSS
Yay for you (im portuguese)
Next 2 months?
0:07 For all who do not know, the flag is of Vanuatu, a country south-east of solomon islands.
Greetings from Solomon islands.🇸🇧
Love this
Wow, Solomon islands has some great looking food and their culture is so diverse and intresting
Greetings from Nepal 🇳🇵 to Solomon Islands🇸🇧
Terry is a great representative of the Solomon Islands! I really enjoyed this episode. :)
great job! It was great to have Terry co-host with you! I've been long-time watcher - I collect cookbooks and try to get one from each country you do but I have to say i've had no luck so far finding one for Solomon Islands. But I won't give up! Cheers, 2sc
Video gives me so many memories of Fiji, Micronesia, Marshall, and Papua New Guinea! Melanesia extremely under-appreciated region of the world! Vanuatu episode is going to be awesome.
This is one of the most interesting episodes for me so far, I didn't know anything about this country before by it's name at least.
This was perfect.
Dark people with blue eyes and blond hair?! So lovely looking.
Thank you Geography now. We learned a lot
I just made it to the end of the playlist! Wow! Lotta content, a lot of good work! I’ve learned so much!
studying Tunisia now and I just realized you haven't done all the countries yet! keep up the good work! we love your shows.
If Hannah has a hard time to pronounce the word “rural”, imagine for us foreigners trying to combine those “r” sounds 🥴
Not bad! From a (Malaitan) Solomon Islander in Tokyo: well done on getting a wantok to co-present :). Gud wan Terry bro!
BTW...I love those little tapa maps for gifts: I've given away heaps to international friends lol.
Ehh brother mi skul lo Indonesia 🤣
Its really good to hear stories about our home(SI)and seeing terry my little brother co hosting the show,gosh.... Im very proud of u bro,god bless
A country that I wish to someday visit! Underrated indeed, I got to meet the niece of Prime Minister Manasseh Sogavare since am with same church as hers along with her friends and family. Solomon’s Islanders are such beautiful, wonderful people and wish to return favor and visit them.
I love how much y'all changed from Afghanistan, better definitely, but it's just nice to see where you came from. 👍👍👍
@@ramallahmapping6651 please stop self promoting
Let me share a story of mine from Solomon Islands. I was traveling from Honiara to Auki by ferry. It was one of the smaller & faster catamaran boats. Anyway, about 20 minutes into the journey I saw a fish jump up from the water and fly just as fast as the boat. It flew around 30cm above the water for over 30 to 60 meters at a 45 degree angle away from the boat. I was by myself and had never seen something like that in my life. I even had doubts if it was real. I thought I was hallucinating due to the heat. In fact, I was so shy, I stopped myself from asking any of the locals on the boat if they had seen one before. I was worried that they would think I was crazy. It didn't take long however to see more and more of these flying fish and I was confident that I wasn't the only one who could see them.
Just recently subscribed!! I love your videos!!
When Terry stepped away for fear of reprisal from the Queen, GOLD!
love solomon island from malaysia 🇲🇾❤️❤️❤️
After 4 years of watching the show,
Finally my country 🇸🇴
ku soo dhowow dalkii wax kasta.
Afar sano baa la sugaayay ila Afghanistan
Nobody cares about your country
My great great uncle, Robert Adams Downing was shipwreck in the Solomon Islands during World War II. His ship was called the USS Helena, and it was torpedoed three times by the Japanese. He was helped out by friendly natives and was sent home a year later in 1945. Thank you to the Solomon Islander people for saving and taking care of him. Love from the United States.🇺🇸🇸🇧
Thank you Paul and everyone involved for the impeccable work!! Keep it up, you have another geogra-peep :P

What a nice guy this Terry. Very cheerful person. ☺️ Also intro for demographics part kicks ass! Greetings from Serbia! 🇷🇸🇷🇸🇷🇸😎
Hi Paul ! Thank you so much for this cool and instructive episode ! It’s cool that you brought Terry, a guy from the Solomon Islands. It’s a shame that this part of the world isn’t talked about more in western media, so once again, thank you. You said that the Solomon Islands were part of the South Pacific Commission, but it is now called the Pacific Community (SPC or CPS in French). I’m really looking forward for the Vanuatu episode. Good job 👍🏽
That was awesome! Huge support for Terry I want to visit your beautiful country someday!
Terry Should do a whole guitar solo for us
The Vatican City, Zambia and Zimbabue be like: 🕐🕑🕒🕓🕔🕕🕖🕗🕘🕙🕚🕛🕜🕝...
I am from Rennell Bellona, and i love my Country so so much. This is great stuff. Thank you.
When he said "wantok", I thought it's spelled as " One talk", like in, 1 language to unite people.
That's where it came from. You are wantok with someone if you have one talk (same language) with them.
Love you guys of the Solomon Islands!
Love from Hungary!
We love you guys too Hungary!
Terry is amazing! Big love for him! :) We want him in the future episodes!
Terry was great! Thanks for having him on the show
really love the guest hosts from the country! Terry did a great job :)
Solomon Islanders, if you read this, thank you for being the ones who saved our 35th president. Without you the history of the whole world would be different. Your Biuku Gaza and Eroni Kumana initiated the rescue. A small nation, your step into history nevertheless changed history. So the geography we all share bids us to ask not what your country can do for you but what you can do for the world.
I almost fell out of my seat when he said guadalcanal that is where the USA took its first offensive of ww2 and marines held out there against Japanese attacks for weeks until reinforcements arrived. They said they were dyeing in some far of land they never heard about and that statement is still true today .
I love this channel and what you guys do
I was fortunate to live and work in The Solomons way back in the 80's in the Western Province. Watching this video makes me quite emotional as a more beautiful and unique place, people and experience is hard to imagine. If I were to choose one experience (adventure a better description) that shaped my life and am thankful for, it would be The Solomons.
