Geography Now u
These "blood of those who fight for the freedom" animation have gone so far that I had to return to the Afghanistan episode just to hear Barbs saying it normaly .
Talašika lol
i backtacked and grows exponencially, and also there are some compilations videos about the animation part and are mostly short, there are not all the animations.
We actually have a joke in Austria, which is about the Latvian flag: Everytime you see a Austrian flag, you say that it's the Latvian flag, and when you see a Latvian flag, you say that it's the Austrian flag
That`s cool :D
So basically i'm latvian when i was little i thought that Austria's flag is Latvia's flag . 😂😅
Our flag is older than the Austrian flag so eat it copycats :P
@@habermanmusic your making yourself a disgrace
@@silursmq5511 Love me or hate me, Im spittin fax
I'm actually happy my country is in the later end of the alphabetization, because Geography now just keeps getting better with every country that he covers
Samuel Carbonel Zimbabwe’s video is going to be perfect.
Hopefully he starts all over after he finished to update with current events and higher quality
Sparx632 Don't forget Kosovo and Vatican City :p
What country are you from?
Poor Afghanis
Curly guy for president 2020
I agree, he will make a law for Geography in School!
Curly guy is already boss!
I actually expected the flag portion to be 2 solid minutes of "blood of those who fight for the freedom" since it is all the flag is. Also note how the origin story of the Latvian flag is just so much more dramatic and melancholic than the Austrian one.
Austria: Some noble dude went full Rambo during the crusades and showed off his dirty shirt.
Latvia: While fighting off crusaders a great hero was mortally wounded. He bled out on a white sheet which was drenched in his blood but for the narrow stripe in the middle. His people carried that sheet into next battle and won.
To add to this: In Latvia it is required by law to fly the flag on every building for 9 specific days in a year. On five of those the flag is flown with an additional black ribbon as those days are days of mourning.
Oh and since Barby's joking commentary about flag plagiarism might be misleading:
The first reliable mentioning of the Austrian flag dates back to 1230 and supposedly recounts events from the very end of 12th century. The first mentioning of the Latvian flag dates back to 1270s and supposedly recounts events from the very beginning of the 13th century. So the flags are both basically equally old and their points of origin are separated by a few thousand kilometers.
The first instance of the Latvian flag was around 1180, could be later, which means it's actually older than the Austrian flag
Love Latvia from Albania!
You are from Albania?
@@dr.zoidborg7293 No I am Patrick
Yes Latvia 🇱🇻!!!!!
I see Latvia I like
LITHUANIA SOON!!! I HAVE BEEN WAIT 3 GODAMN YEARS FOR THIS!!! YEESSS SO CLOSE!
Hi my Latvian flag brothers, greetings from Austria.
greetings from a latvian in germany!!
Many Finns buy their alcohol from Estonians who buy their alcohol from Latvians who buy their alcohol from Lithuanians who buy their alcohol from Poland and the import of alcohol from Poland comes mainly from Russia
In each country it is cheaper than the previous
So why the Finnish dose not go to buy alcohol directly from their neighbors ?????????????I
Since when did Latvia buy alcohol from Lithuania? Wtf, i dont think so
2:18 BLOOD OF THOSE WHO FIGHT FOR THE FREEDOM!!
norhayati mamat 😂
what a cringe! unlike just for that BS
MrVugis you clearly haven't been watching Geography Now since the beginning
Sooner or later, somebody will have to make a compilation of those.
DXOS3 there already is a compilation about that
Fun fact, in Latvia it was 12:30 PM when you uploaded this.
GalaxyDragon Not very fun...
BsT_Kumquat a.k.a IHeartFootjobs a.k.a (former) iT_Onza fun facts are not supposted to be so funny-_-
HEY I DONT UNDERSTAND Latvians dont use PM and AM
Wolfy the Great he means thaf this was uploaded in midnight
So hyped for the Philippines Episode!
Alp I’m from the Philippines and I’m still waiting for it......
I think about a year.
Alp Wait around 2-3 years
I'm pretty sure the Philippines will be under water when the episode finally arrives.
SAME XD
I have been waiting for 2 years
I just wanna say that, although I love all of your episodes, your Latvia episode was amazing, you have raised the bar on that last video. Perhaps the best made video as of yet.
when you are watching this latvian episode, in same moment being an latvian and being located in latvia
True
*Stay cool, stay tuned*
Great Geography lesson! Hello from Riga, Latvia! With love))
Hey, this animation was awesome (and kind of funny, too). Kudos to Ken, nice job.
I am Latvian and I am always surprised when somebody mentions potatoes as something special for Latvia. Yes, we eat potatoes, but I never noticed potatoes had some kind of cult status in Latvia, also Latvians have no jokes about potatoes (Though, I have seen some totally sick jokes on internet about potatoes that are claimed to be Latvian, but they are not, and most probably were invented by some sick person.)
So, can anybody explain me, where this potatoe thing come from?
Sahn U They say potatoes are our second bread.

Hey Barbs, make another Geography Go video!!! I like the way you show different places! Greetings from Poland!
Greetings from Latvia! Great video!
Hi from Estonia :D
Hey Neighboor
I grew up in MN too (Eden Prairie) and was also mocked for my accent when we moved. Thanks as always for the episodes!
I’m from Latvia and the way you pronounce the names of everything is so funny 😂😂😂
Ikr I love how he pronounces Kurzeme as "Kurtzeme"
Man the way you pronounced the Norwegian word "stavkirke" is actually the best thing I've heard XD
SantomPh yeah, both Minnesota, Wisconsin and the Dakotas have a lot of Norwegians in it. In North Dakota over 1/3 of the population is of Norwegian ancestry
I had never heard of Niue until today. Thank you!
Oh man! I love this channel
I love geography so do I like the channel ❤️
Amazing video as always! Latviesu valoda
Mans vārds ir Jānis.cau
Welp... I love my contury. DIEVS SVĒTĪ LATVIJU!
Latvia!
Ραnςεχυαl Ραηκακε Dat name tho
Ραnςεχυαl Ραηκακε, Greek or Cypriot?
Guessing neither, trying to use the greek alphabet to have a unique name. Username would be correctly written as Πανσεξουαλ Πανκεϊκ
I’m from Latvia and we are now obsesed with protaties!we are obsesed with cheese and bread
thank you for everything love you and you got it right love my country
latvia has the second oldest flag in the world
It's actually Denmark (known as) 'Dannebrog' or 'Danish cloth,' in Denmark, the the current design of a white Scandinavian cross on a red background was officially adopted in 1307 or earlier. The Flag of Denmark also holds the Guinness World Record for the oldest continuously used national flag.
get your facts straight, Scotland (832 AD) and Austria (1230 AD) invented their flags before us
The second oldest flag in Europe, not the world
Thank you Ken
Latvia for life!
wow. excellent Geo! Greetings from Latvia!
Love you!
Only "I watched Geography now before the Cuba episode" kids will remember: "let's dissect the flag"
Yees, I love this!
Love from Latvia!
I always love those “fight for freedom” animation
Yo Barbs you did basically the reverse of what I've done in my life so far (I grew up in Chicagoland but currently go to school in Minnesota)
I'm Danish and i actually have family in North Dakota :)
Dude! You totally got a new camera. I can see the picture quality here is very crisp and the colors are really good. Depth wise. Either that or Barby got a different editing software.
I'm so excited for the Philippines episode XD
My Birthday is two weeks from today, Cool logo [I think it short for Geography Channel 😁👏]. Keep it up!
Oh hey! The niue flag looks kinda cool! that yellow base with the stars in the union jack. I'm interested.
We've arrived at the meat of Geography Now. Lebanon, Liberia, Mexico, Morrocco, Nigeria, Nicaragua, damn these new episodes are gonna be great.
West coast of Africa. It was founded as a place where free blacks will go to from the US. This place was also one of the three countries where Ebola was
William Levy Liberia is The first American African Colony... And the only one. It’s Near Ghana and Stuff
Trust me you probably know less about Nigeria than you think.
And Norway
DON'T FORGET LIECHTENSTEIN!!!
love you man
the letters L, M, N and then S are going to be lit
Hi! Thank u for your super videos!:) When will be Serbia?
The guy on Barbados' $50 note is Errol Walton Barrow, is also known as the father of independence in Barbados.🇧🇧🇧🇧🇧🇧🇧🇧
I just scrolled through looking for this. And he was a cool dude.
Lot's of Minnesota pride in this video, LOVE IT! :D
I'll be honest - I kinda wish you'd go back and re-do the earlier pre-Flag Friday episodes... or at the very least give them their own Flag Friday episodes - if nothing else, I want to see what Ken does for Canada's "THE BLOOD OF THOSE WHO FIGHT FOR THE FREEDOM"
That shirt, the red one is so sick B! Maåse nu y video.
yeah i remember waking with a latvian flag in a music festival and some austrian was shouting Osterreich at me :D
Actually Latvian’s flag is kinda everywhere when you think about it. Because of the “no entry” road sign 😉
Can't wait for the Liechtenstein episode
I'll be honest I was really exited when you said you were going to do a Minnesotan accent! #mnnative
The new blood animation is the best in the channel
Hey barbs, do you think you will EVER get anything from very closed of isolated places like Turkmenistan, Tajikistan or Iran (just to name a few) I'm really interested in those kinds of places and I hope to visit them in the future, btw you channel is amazing! (I'm guessing you probably won't because UA-cam is banned in those three countries, even though you can bypass them with proxies)
There's already an episode about Iran. Just look for it.
Oh, I'm sorry if you misinterpreted my message, I asked will he get mail from those places, but thank you for your answer, I know he's done videos of North Korea and Iran
Greetings from latvia great vid!!
I love the Latvia blood flag story.
Hey Paul, I’m Karen (that is ethnic group) originally from Burma and have its own state. But I was grow up in Thailand, refugee camp during Burma civil war. In fact, some Karen has settled from Burma to Thailand for centuries particularly in rural areas refer to as tribal group. But I don’t referred myself as Karen tribe instead Karen ethnic group because I was born in Karen State, Burma. That clothes you wear is very popular in Karen culture. Keep up the good work Paul!! Can’t wait to Myanmar and Thailand episode.
This story of "school" and "torture" in Lithuanian makes me think about French... The word "travail" (work) comes from the Latin word "trepalium" which was a torture instrument!
It works!
your story makes me think of Latvian word "strādāju" (working) and Russian "страдаю" (suffering)
Paul!
If you're gonna invest in a new microphone, I'd suggest you get a directional mic people use for TV broadcasts and theater productions. Like the Countryman E6. I say this, because, you tend to move your head around a lot, and it kinda makes the volume go all over the place like this. Look into it, it's a bit of an investment but it will benefit you a lot!
Do Montenegro geography. It maybe is small country, but it has really old traditions and history. And its geography is so cool too! ON A SMALL AREA LIKE MONTENEGRO WE HAVE: MOUNTAINS, BIG RIVERS, SMALL RIVERS, SEE, PLAINS, HILLS, FORESTS AND THE CLIMATIC CONDITIONS ARE SOOOOOOO COOL TOO. Perhaps on the north of Montenegro we have like -30 degrees CELSIUS! But in the south in WINTER the temperatures are like +20 degrees. So please do this for my country. It is small but its interesting!
P.S. Sorry for bad English!
Are you high in this video!? XD or maybe just tired, you seem whacked! :P Regardless, I enjoy your vids! The wait for UK is so long but every week I look forward to your videos. God bless you x
If you ever find yourself in Portland, or you should check out the Mauritian foodcart Chez Dodo
Check out the Mauritius Bank Note it has the Dodo Bird on it!!
6:31 係時候學地理啦 [It's time to learn geography. (NOW!)]
You had a few specs of dust (I assume) stuck to the camera while filming. Almost gave me a heart attack when I first saw them since I thought I had dead pixels in my screen.
Oh...and Manitoba also uses the bison on the provincial flag.
Niue only has 1 thousand people there so that's really lucky of you to encounter a package from there!
Ohh I love flags which have the colour red on them:-D
And btw the expectation of screaming "Blood of those who fight for the freedom!" makes friday even sweeter than it is without
I'm exited for Bulgarian episode$
Dude after you saying Mauritius I realize I have been saying it wrong the whole time 😂
Love lebanon
any1 scrolling through the comments have a nice day you deserve it for your hardwork
Jus a lil ting to help you guys out
This just makes me wanna travel to obscure places and send Barby mail from there😂
1:53 i am also from cēsis. I love you're videos. :)
I want to know Pauls thoughts on the two Koreas entering the Olympic ceremony together.
I'm gona call Human rights court, Ken i'll save you!
What a coincidence; I just finished reading Niue: A History of the Island. You can see my lone review of the book at Amazon.
Yeah, new vid
i hope you will mention both Lithuania's flags (national and state or historical) in Lithuania episodes
Nice to see 60FPS :D
fun fact, the Latvian flag as used today was adopted in 1923, but variations of it have been used since the 13th century, which is centuries before the Austrians ever had a red-white-red flag, so i think what we should really be asking is : "Did Austria plagiarise the Latvian flag?"
"you've just been flagged" every youtuber watching gets PTSD
Hey!! Shape of the country looks like a heart (with a flat bottom), but none the less a heart
When you posted that instagram post, i already thought: there will be niue in there. I am the biggest fan of Niue. Like actually.
I really like the idea that the white band represents Daugava
so, what's your favorite coat of arms/symbol/emblem?
Me: Wakes up and goes on youtube at 5:00 am.
Me: looks and sees that a new flag video.
Me: realises that timezones exist.
There is a flag wth a hedgehog for one of the provinces or something. Just search up “Latvia hedgehog flag” and it pops up. It’s really cool
Does any other country make balsam liquor? We have it in chocolates from Riga.
Just when I thought it wasn't. It was....BLOOD OF THOSE WHO FIGHT FOR THE FREEDOM!!
I'm named Mauritius, so i'm glad that you enjoyed mine things xD
