ShockD lol, they had a lot of time on their hands back then, I'm Bahamian and only know a handful of the other islands, albeit they're the most important islands
The boy carrying the conch shells at 6:51 is actually one of my best friends,this photo was taken on exuma at a place called "chat and chill" in 2009, I remember it clearly because I was there. It's funny as hell seeing it here in this video
A lot of tourists see Atlantis as the "Disney world" of the Bahamas. That mega resort look and feel get's a lot of cliche tourists, but some tourists find their way to the other islands to get away from the typical commercial mega resorts found in New Providence/Nassau. -And yes, we get tourists that get mad and complain to us when it rains.
I was a tour guide in Niagara Falls for a long time and always had tourists (mostly from the US) get angry and complain to us whenever the weather was bad.
+geo taylor I think more its likely thats she's from one of those twins Abaco and Grand Bahama. Because these are the whites by this video. Greets from less sunny the Netherlands.
+Joeri Groen i'm actually from freeport island myself, or i guess Grand Bahama is the propper term, and theres way more blacks here than there are whites, and he actually missed out alot of islands and alot of info, i figured she was from eleuthera, or abaco, because there white population is probably the highest, but there are white ppl on all of the bahamian islands
+geo taylor cool I've never met a Bahamian. I didn't know that. I tought rich buisnessmen from Europe and the US live in Grand Bahama. I think I might add my own youtube channel about vairious countries. Geography Now is so inspiring for me. Do you know her?

@@urangames457 So funny to see that comment from 7 years ago, and now the channel has a whole cast of recurring characters. Geography Now out here with a damn extended universe at this piont, but you can tell even back then that Paul has always had a passion for what he does, and it shines through then and still now!
You briefly mentioned the embassy in Japan. For about a decade, Bahama's ambassador to Japan was actually Sidney Poitier, the world-famous Oscar-winning actor (and sometimes director). He was actually born in Florida, but his family was Bahamian and he was mainly raised in the Bahamas, so he has dual-citizenship.
I feel like history teachers should use videos like these to show to students: make it a way for students to be entertain whiles receiving insightful information. Really liked this video!
After watching this I feel like when your gonna get to New Zealand you will call us the Hawaii of Australia. We are not Australia's Hawaii we are Australia's Canada.
although this video is old and it is 2019, after the passing of hurricane dorian q devastated this beautiful country. I still have a huge dream of knowing the Bahamas
I love the Bahamian accent. To my ears, it's 1/3 Afro-Caribbean lilt, 1/3 British, and 1/3 American Deep South. It's unlike anywhere else in the region.
@@MM-gp9mb Genuinely, as someone from the Bahamas, it's high-pitched and sounds like ignorance, but I do like the African words mixed in with the english.
Loraine Codrington lol we get that but they are literally horrendous pronunciations...literally words he can just use plain phonics on he adds a foreign accent to which throws off the name eg. Acklins Island is pronounced just as it is spelled Ak-linz , but he gives a soft c sound and says Ask-Linz or Bimini is Bih-mih-nee but he says Bee-mee-nee
Having spent about a month this past spring in Freeport, I really hope that Grand Bahama and the rest of the country can overcome Dorian. I'm from Chile and loved the island and the people.
Great video! Being from The Bahamas I am super happy to see my country being represented - however would have loved if you looked into pronunciation before making the video the way you said Bahamian (you said ba- haa -mean sounds more like bahAmian (really pronounce that middle a )) was incorrect and thats pretty important also the names of islands can be pretty confusing but never hurts to ask for help! All in all though great video glad to see you representing the great 242
Hey Paul, I just wanted you to know that I've been to Bahrain many times, (Manama is a beautiful city) and If you need me to clarify anything, or if you want me to help add information, you can email me at bennyboy317@gmail.com.
Worth it, but aim for Exumas, preferably South Exumas, just amazing. They have tiny sandspit like islands at the ends of some of the sandbars too, worth putting up a tent and enjoying the night.
erika Campbell so what's stopping you?Come visit our country any time.My name is Sheree Neymour I live on Andros island and as he says its not a slum.Tourist from all over the world choose coming to our island to relax and enjoy nature
erika Campbell if u ride down to Florida u can catch a ferry for about $150 Then that'll take u to Grand Bahama If u don't want to stay there u can't catch a ferry or plane to Abaco Or Nassau for less than 100 bucks If u go to Nassau u can catch a fast ferry just about anywhere and stay in a bonefish lodge (google it) or use airbnb(yh we have dat) I suggest coming in the summer cause that's when regattas happen or coming in the winter for Junkanoo This is a guide from an andros nativ btw
I was thinking about starting up a learning channel as well. Pitching ideas off the wall here, but my idea was a channel that would explore the relations between two groups of people throughout history. Basically, I would do videos on the historic relations between the Aboriginals of Australia and the Indonesians, or the relationship between the tribes of Japan and the tribes of Korea and China, or the relationship between France and England throughout history. Just throwing shit at a wall here and seeing what sticks. Does anyone think they'd be interested in such a channel idea? I ask because Geography Now is a recent "learning" channel, and I love it, so I thought I could go into more detail about the conflicts of groups that form the nations today.
My Geography class just made it to the B’s and wanted to send a thank you for allowing them to yell, in class, at the top of their lungs, the Geography NOW song! 😂 🇧🇸 🇧🇭 🇧🇩 ... #LMCHS
You may want to add that Columbus landed on San Salvador (which he named himself) making it the birthplace of the new world. (Granted that it was already inhabited but that's a different argument)
Just went to the Bahamas. Checking out this vid again, and holy crap has your channel come a long way! Almost need to start over from scratch and update.
@Kj_mast_er There is a lot of stigma against them with them coming in and becoming 25% of our population. Overall a lot of older bahamians have a distaste for them. That's what I meant
Fun facts (well not fun but whatever) "Andros" is an island in Greece and "Eleuthera" means "the free-one" in greek. Although I have no idea why they would give these names to them... still amazed :D
Robert I Baratheon Eleuthera was named by the Eleutheran adventurers, who were a group of people from Bermuda seeking religious freedom! you can read more about them online
Andros, Bahamas, also, ironically, was the place where many Greek-Bahamians first went to work on the sponge-diving boats. I do know there's a connection - Our Andros was named after the Greek one, but it's been a long time since I've thought about that history.

Good luck to the Bahamas in their recovery from Dorian. Hopefully Geography Now showed many people just how unique of a country it is, and that in their greatest time of need, they are worth helping.
Interesting fact. New Providence is the same size and shape as Menorca which is where my family bought property when we decided to come back to Europe.
As a Bahamian I got too say.....This is all true. Should have talked more on the relations to other Caribbean Nations but you were spot on. Although you mispronounce some of the island names wrong but like I said, you were spot on.
They couldnt withstand Hurricane Dorian,its totally destroyed..i hope and pray that every country helps then now..all those rich and famous people that have homes there should be the first to help.. I pray for the people there..
This is really a great starter get to know a country. For those living in the country of course you know more information and pronunciations. He is quite good to have so much great information. I really love this format. Children can learn much from this and even though it is fast paced it moves in such a way that retention is good. Keep up the good work . We need more of this. Political correctness need not be main point as the truth is most important. Conveyance of the information is most important. Thank you for your contribution to The Bahamas. We could use this to help our own know more abut their country.
Bahamas have 2 Greek named regions....Andros is also an island in Greece (with etymological connection with the Greek word for man..andras..άνδρας) also...eleuthera is ελεύθερα in Greek meaning free or freely...fact!!
As a Bahamian and an educator I find this video very informative. Although there were some pronunciation issues (lol) It was good. I find it sad that we as Bahamians did not see the need to put out such an informative video about our own country in great simple details. But overall it was pretty good.
There are probably a couple (like 2 😂) Bahamians in Azerbaijan... And I wouldn't mind visiting your country.. it looks as amazing in its own way as I think The Bahamas is... 🇦🇿🇧🇸
Yes perhaps it would be interesting to learn about the worldwide contributions of one of the earliest black activist who inspired the likes of Marcus Garvey...his name was Dr. Robert Love, Surgeon, Clergyman. and Activist, a BAHAMIAN and one of the FIRST to Champion the cause of blacks starting in Caribbean in particular , Haiti then Jamaica and across US in 19th century...(he coined the concept of 'emancipation of the mind"
You’ve got it wrong, I live in The Bahamas myself, the yellow represents the sun . We have pink sand beaches not golden , the blue represents the skies and the seas , and the black represents the color of the people
The Bahamas, known officially as the Commonwealth of The Bahamas, is a country within the Lucayan Archipelago of the West Indies in the Caribbean. It takes up 97% of the Lucayan Archipelago's land area and is home to 88% of the archipelago's population. The archipelagic state consists of fewer than 700 islands, cays, and islets in the Atlantic Ocean, and is located north of Cuba and Hispaniola Island (Haiti and the Dominican Republic), northwest of the Turks and Caicos Islands, southeast of the US state of Florida, and east of the Florida Keys. The capital is Nassau on the island of New Providence. The Royal Bahamas Defence Force describes The Bahamas' territory as encompassing 470,000 km2 (180,000 sq mi) of ocean space.
”Sometimes you just gotta punch somebody in the face to develop a good friendship with them.” Funny that you should mention that, because it *HAS* happened to me. Once in elementary school, this one kid came up to me with a gang of sixth-graders and started attacking me, so, knowing, who the leader was, I literally punched him in the face, and that was the end of that, his gang broke, and he became my underling. True story.
I have a lot of corrections for u the yellow actually represents the sun and you said Bahamian,Bimini,abaco,Acklins,and mayaguana wrong and we don't have 661 island and cay we have a lot more than that p.s lm a real Bahamian 👍🏾
I am a Bahamian and I think you did a wonderful job. Very well researched. Don't mind the idiots getting on you for mispronouncing names, you know more about the country than them. Bravo and thank you for covering my country
This is a lie. A lot of us know more than this AND can pronounce the names.... 😂 But we can can forgive Paul because we know he loves us... 😂😂 242🇧🇸🇧🇸🇧🇸

I have heard of this islands 7 years ago. I truly want to visit the Bahamas anytime soon. Much love from zambia 🇿🇲❤️🇧🇸
would love to have you!
New Providence has a similar shape as Jamaica.
As a Bahamian and an educator I find this video very informative. Although there were some pronunciation issues (lol) It was good. I find it sad that we as Bahamians did not see the need to put out such an informative video about our own country in great simple details. But overall it was pretty good.
Yes he does great reviews. And he respects the people.
I have a hideout in Inagua
I noticed that there is a Korean traditional mask dancing in the ending credits in the episodes of 'B' countries. A small fun as a Korean watcher.
Your production has gotten better. Maybe a Bahamas fundraiser after Dorian on your next dead week?
The Bahamas is the only country outside of the US I've ever been to. My family went there for a Disney cruise in 2007.
I like the improvements... but I miss the polar bear
MartinSabatonFan I killed him with my diesel sorry :(
9:53 lol he says "Illegal aliens"
Hi from Azerbaijan! Maybe the Bahamas is one of the best summer touristic places in the world. I hope that I'll travel to here.🇦🇿❤🇧🇸
Dude I love ur love for the Latin American countries.
There are probably a couple (like 2 😂) Bahamians in Azerbaijan... And I wouldn't mind visiting your country.. it looks as amazing in its own way as I think The Bahamas is... 🇦🇿🇧🇸
Many History Relates to Bahamas... Thanks for Describing
Yes perhaps it would be interesting to learn about the worldwide contributions of one of the earliest black activist who inspired the likes of Marcus Garvey...his name was Dr. Robert Love, Surgeon, Clergyman. and Activist, a BAHAMIAN and one of the FIRST to Champion the cause of blacks starting in Caribbean in particular , Haiti then Jamaica and across US in 19th century...(he coined the concept of 'emancipation of the mind"
When I was a kid, I went on vacation to Florida; and I remember my parents went to the Bahamas, while me and my sister stayed on mainland.
And no one identifies as Afro Bahamian we are just Bahamians
They still descend from Africa though. They arent native to the Bahamas either.

.. Many tainos were Black
You’ve got it wrong, I live in The Bahamas myself, the yellow represents the sun . We have pink sand beaches not golden , the blue represents the skies and the seas , and the black represents the color of the people
Not the colour but the strength and vigor.
Can you make the videos longer
The Bahamas, known officially as the Commonwealth of The Bahamas, is a country within the Lucayan Archipelago of the West Indies in the Caribbean. It takes up 97% of the Lucayan Archipelago's land area and is home to 88% of the archipelago's population. The archipelagic state consists of fewer than 700 islands, cays, and islets in the Atlantic Ocean, and is located north of Cuba and Hispaniola Island (Haiti and the Dominican Republic), northwest of the Turks and Caicos Islands, southeast of the US state of Florida, and east of the Florida Keys. The capital is Nassau on the island of New Providence. The Royal Bahamas Defence Force describes The Bahamas' territory as encompassing 470,000 km2 (180,000 sq mi) of ocean space.
I’ve found my new goal, watching the swimming pigs in Bahamas 😂
8:45 starts punching all my friends in the face
”Sometimes you just gotta punch somebody in the face to develop a good friendship with them.” Funny that you should mention that, because it *HAS* happened to me. Once in elementary school, this one kid came up to me with a gang of sixth-graders and started attacking me, so, knowing, who the leader was, I literally punched him in the face, and that was the end of that, his gang broke, and he became my underling. True story.
Are you not aware that your UA-cam profile emerges to be among one of this lucky winner

I am a Bahamian and I think you did a wonderful job. Very well researched. Don't mind the idiots getting on you for mispronouncing names, you know more about the country than them. Bravo and thank you for covering my country
This is a lie. A lot of us know more than this AND can pronounce the names.... 😂
But we can can forgive Paul because we know he loves us... 😂😂
