    I was expecting Amsterdam to be much higher because of what the Red Light District sells

    Even though most of Kenya's land sits at much lower elevations than Nairobi, the majority of the population lives at altitude. Eight out of Kenya's ten largest cities sit at elevations higher than 1500m, and only one, the coastal city of Mombasa, sits below 1000m.

      Not counting Russia coz it’s on two continents and would be the biggest country in both if we’re just counting the part that is on each continent for each

      If you ask the local Tibetans in Tibet, they would not want the bald man who ran away to India to come back to govern Tibet. Religious personnel have been persecuting people in Tibet for thousands of years. When it comes to brainwashing, no one is more powerful than them, not even North Korea. Before Communist China, 90% of Tibetans were slaves. Until now, many devout Tibetans still believe that eating the feces of the so-called "living Buddhas" is useful when they are sick. If you really care about other people's so-called "democracy and human rights," you won't make comments just after reading news reports from some extreme Western newspapers. I advise you not to be mean until you have seen the truth for yourself.

    La Paz has a massive agglomeration city (now one of Bolivia's largest cities on its own) called El Alto (the heights) which is even higher than La Paz (it is right there even higher up in the mountains from La Paz). The city's average elevation is over 4,000 meters.
    Also, nothing to do with capital cities but the sizable mining town called La Rinconada in Peru is the world's highest city over 5,000m and also one of the least liveable cities on earth, with living conditions arguably worse than in North Korea.

    I love your videos man, I do. But I hope you'll try to pronounce place names correctly next time (example here is Brunei capiral). I know it's not easy but it'll make your videos way way better.

    You say that Lhasa is the one with the highest altitude if we consider autonomous regions, then Bolivia continues with the title since El Alto, a city that is part of the metropolitan area of La Paz, is at 4,100 meters, there is the stadium where the Bolivian soccer team plays its matches

    I lived in both Bogotá and Quito for a combined year, and they are both great cities. Bogotá has 8-12 million people and it is very dirty and has lots of pollution. Quito is a much nicer city, more nature and green. Bogotá is still my favorite though because it is a very lively city.

    Things can't be "kind of" interesting. They are either interesting or not interesting. No half way. Actually I lived in Baku for eight and a half years and have visited Amsterdam numerous times. Also you should learn how to pronounce names as well.
