    The world's #1 or #2 least visited country. LOTS of mystery to solve. Our last "T" country, and last Polynesian country (one more for Oceania though!). Also Thanks KERI - she is officially the RAREST person we've ever had as a guest host the show (only about 13,000 Tuvaluans in the world). THIS is an episode you don't want to miss. ENJOY!

    I’ve always had this fascination with these tiny island nations in Oceania ever since I visited Hawaii. Hawaii is cool, but I don’t think you really get the authentic island experience when everything is so tourist-y. Now enter these tiny island nations that go completely unknown by most of the rest of the world; there’s pristine beaches, coral reefs, islands to explore, and rich culture somewhere here, the only issue is well… trying to get there in the first place.

    • @mygetawayart
      @mygetawayart 2 роки тому +20

      and there are plenty of islands (maybe not Tuvalu though) that have a much better balance of touristy and authentic than Hawaii, where you can enjoy your luxury beach cabins and pay with credit cards but also be extremely close to the traditional islander lifestyle

      Also funny you mock tourism, given that whole nations depend on it for their economy. Or that it stops you from having the " authentic island experience ", which for some IS tourism. There's always...Guam, I suppose, if you want somewhere more rustic

      34 Now, after the pyramid top, where I was standing, comes the Capstone and the Capstone is the Seventh dimension! And on the other side, it was in this seventh dimension that the constellation of all the celestial beings stood above the waters, this was the Capstone that had come down there on the pyramid top, above the waters, while I was standing there on sand of the sea, on the pyramid top. And this corruptible body could not get into the Capstone, as the body of William Branham could not get into the constellation of the seven Angels when he was receiving the seven seals. As also the body of Moses could at no time get into the seventh dimension when he was receiving the tables of the law. Who I am then, I, Prophet Kacou Philippe? Have all these great messengers who came before me built the pyramid, age after age, for me to come and stand on it? Who is this one who has received a so great grace? Truly, this one is the celestial door of the pyramid of ages whose bases are the waters. But it is humbly by the underground door the mankind will meet me and will meet Salvation.

That being said, I do hope that in some 8795 years, after you make videos about all UN countries and all UN observers and unrecognized countries, you will find the time, resources and, most importantly, the desire to redo at least the A and B countries into current format.

    Hey, I've been there, to Funafuti. The Pandanus fruit was interesting, the coconuts were good, the crabs were great and the coconut crabs were amazing.
    I remember one of the days I was there, it was raining really heavily and I had to go out to get some fishing line for something. I could have waited until the rain stopped, but my clothes were due for a wash anyway. The path I took from where we were staying to the shops, I ran both ways about 380m, brought me along the side of the air strip for about 140m, running through water that was nearly up to my knees. All in all, a very memorable experience.

    Shipping info could be a bit more accurate. Tuvalu sold Nivaga II way longer than 9 months ago (video's release date). Currently, the islands are services by the Nivaga III, Manufolau and Moeiteava as the main scheduled vessels and a couple smaller vessels that are sometimes chartered for specific purposes.

    If I had the opportunity I would visit to both take in the island vibe but also the Japanese wartime wrecks. It’s like some Indians Jones/Lara Croft/Nathan Drake mystery exploration.
    They should sell tourism by perhaps embracing that ‘theme’.

      34 Now, after the pyramid top, where I was standing, comes the Capstone and the Capstone is the Seventh dimension! And on the other side, it was in this seventh dimension that the constellation of all the celestial beings stood above the waters, this was the Capstone that had come down there on the pyramid top, above the waters, while I was standing there on sand of the sea, on the pyramid top. And this corruptible body could not get into the Capstone, as the body of William Branham could not get into the constellation of the seven Angels when he was receiving the seven seals. As also the body of Moses could at no time get into the seventh dimension when he was receiving the tables of the law. Who I am then, I, Prophet Kacou Philippe? Have all these great messengers who came before me built the pyramid, age after age, for me to come and stand on it? Who is this one who has received a so great grace? Truly, this one is the celestial door of the pyramid of ages whose bases are the waters. But it is humbly by the underground door the mankind will meet me and will meet Salvation.

    As someone who wants to visit every country in the world one day Tuvalu is really high on my list. You seem very sweet and warm people and I would love learning how you guys live. The islands look very exotic for me since I'm from Europe, beautiful to see. The fact the country is very hard to visit because of the limited flights, small space, being far and very far apart spread and the limited hotels, I only find it more fun and adventureous to visit it. The fact you guys are welcoming to visitors to stay because the hotelrooms are very limited only shows how guest free and warm you are. I think Tuvalu is my favorite Polynesian country and I really hope to visit it one day.

    25:32 Cotton and linen _are_ "cellulosic fibers", in that, like most plant fibers presumably are, they're mostly (>50%, though definitely not entirely) made of cellulose, although wool is not, being an animal fiber made more of proteins like keratin (which is apparently about a third of wool).

    Sailed on the postal ship for a few days around the atolls there, rode on a motorbike with a local on Vaitapu to feed his pigs, shared drinks with a weight-lifting champ on Funafuti, visited a family with a captive sea turtle, and watched the flying fish glide across the waves in front of our stern. Also, I hear half the population has diabetes due to importing foods they didn’t evolve to eat regularly.
