Trinidad was almost the "Hawaii" of Canada? Alphabet shirts? CBD soap? 10 year old brandy? What is going on? Find out in this new episode of FLAG/ FAN DAY!
After three years of watching Geography Now, I finally get to see my country. thank you geography now gang for putting your amazing talent and love for this show into the T&T episode . I would say any one thing you missed is talking about the leatherback turtles (which are the largest and oldest of the sea turtles) are most known for coming to Trinidad for nesting and that we have the one of the largest nesting population leatherback sea turtles in the world. If any of the geography now gang gets a chance to come back to Trinidad & Tobago, totally recommend going to see them, it is an amazing experience.
In term of wild life, it's probably worth noting that Trinidad has the Green Anaconda, worlds largest snake, and is the only Caribbean island to do so. We are also only one of two Caribbean countries,(along with Margarita) to have the Ocelot.
Saw someone say our flag is a "Tanzania Junior" in the comments. Tanzania may be larger both geographically and poplulation wise than we are but I must point out our Flag was designed and commissioned FIRST. Please do look it up. BOTH flag are beautiful anyways. Thank you. 🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹
Trinidad's Queen’s Park Savannah is Port of Spain’s largest open recreational space. Covered with low grass, the 3. 5 km (2 miles) perimeter of the Savannah, as it is called by locals, is lined with large beautiful samaan and poui trees.
@@Wabeeninc right now the largest depends on the definition of a roundabout. Malaysia and Trinidad are both claiming the largest. S.Korea is no where as big as these 2.
Although I've personally always been annoyed with the concept of a country with two names with the word "and", it's the first time for me to see their coat of arms, and I was just amazed, it's beautiful (just like pretty much any other British-style coat of arms). I mean, dang! The symbolism, the philosophy, colours, the motto; it's just perfect.
hi, im theo (i sent the yorkshire stuff) thank you so much for reading my letter and looking at the book i sent i really appreciate it all. i know i wrote quite a lot in the letters but where im from is something that i am very proud of. thank you again.
If you really look at the Trini flag, it really look like a bone passing through red flesh, wherr the black is the Marrow. I used to believe that's where they get the phrase, "Trini to de bone."
Lol you’re almost correct. The red represents the fiery spirt and passion of our people, the white represents the white sands and purity of a new nation, the black represents the oil and fertile soil of the lands.
Hey Barbs, maybe you could even do a special episode - or maybe even several episodes - on the natives tribes of North America. It is something people outside the US and Canada have probably very little knowledge of.
Nice! You must try a dash of Trinidad's Angostura bitters when mixing drinks. There's even cocoa and orange flavoured bitters too. Also Trinidad snacks are the best. Just make sure to come back for a 2nd and proper visit, either Carnival or Christmas time. Is vibes! 🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹
Glad to finally see a T & T video as a national and resident of this country. Maybe someone already correct you but combined demonym for people from each island of “Trinidadian + Tobagonian” is Not “Trini-Bagonian” but rather “Trin-Bagonian”. Just a lil fun fact about our carnival, it is The Most Replicated style of carnival in the world/inspired and birthed other carnivals in the world. A lot of other Caribbean islands draw a lot from what is produced in T&T for the festival, but major global cities where a large Trinbagonian /West Indian diaspora resides have some of the largest carnivals there. Toronto’s Caribbean Carnival, formerly called Caribana is the largest street festival in North America. New York’s Labour Day parade is also one of the other largest festivals. London’s Notting Hill Carnival is the largest street festival in Europe. All these carnivals were predominantly started by Trinidadians. The UK alone has over 40 of these carnivals in different cities, as well as other major US cities like Miami, Boston, Atlanta, and very recently Hollywood, have started these Trini-styled carnivals
yes the Food mention was mostly Trinidad but Tobago have Crab and dumpling, oildown, and snack like bennet ball, sugar cake . WIld meat both island.There are many celebration. Tobago Heritage Fest two or 3 weeks before emancipation j. Carnival is a season not just two days in your costume. Competition. Panorama (they is about 100 or more panside under PanTrinbago) Tuco the caplyso organsition, NCC National Carnival Commission. Soca monarch. KIng and queen, Calyspo monarch, Panrang music can be hear 100days before christmas. De march Gras Carib bear lol . time to time Jazz Festival closer to Easter music that was not mention is Trambrin music based in Tobago and many traditional dances reel, pique (french) and Heel and toe etc. Music also include Rhythm section both east indian Tassa group and tamboo bamboo bands and iron and folk drums.
I was hoping that someone would have corrected a slip of the tongue that Hannah made in the leading episode: Not all Nobel prizes are "Nobel Peace" prizes. V. S. Naipaul won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 2001.
Chuckled at the guy trying to explain all the Yorkshire counties. Your buddy Jay Foreman did a fun MapMen on Yorkshire and English counties as a whole.
Love your vids HUGE FAN FROM LITHUANIA come visit I am a cartographer and I drew every country in the world while watching every one of your videos, and I enjoyed every second of it I would love to make a map for you just what map do you want :)
It's never too late to start making beneficial marks. So glad taking risks turned out positively I'm glad about my encounter with Mr Milo never been this better.
We keep bringing up Nikki Minaj but we other entertainers like Grammy Winner Heather Headley; Mishael Morgan the first black woman to win a Daytime Emmy; Grammy Winner Billy Ocean and many with with Trini heritage.
Barbs Trinidad have closer ties to Grenada and St Vincent and the grenadines more so than Jamaica due to the similarities of their cultures. Just saying
I’m from east Africa in a country where we grew up being told that our flag 🇧🇮 is the most beautiful in the world; I think every country also holds that belief😅when it comes to its own flag😊, I believed it until I saw the T&T 🇹🇹 , let me just say, I think 🇹🇹 is the most beautiful in my opinion of course. Many Other flags tend to be similar and confusing to distinguish, but 🇹🇹 just pops up in a see of flags
Just curious, when you did geography of North America, you didn't included the United States. Why not do a video on the country, United States? Thanks!

Have you ever had Bulgarian Rakia (brandy)? Ohh, sorry... ракия Българска? I go there for work fairly frequently. Recently had some 25 year Rakia. Fantastic! Next time I'm there I'll snag you some.
Yes they had an old english language which is a difficult language in a form of poetry. You know we had an English subjects as a second language class subject. And also a form in BPO and business but not all in our country which is not implement in our DepEd.

Official description of the coat of arms: Arms: Per chevron enhanced sable and gules a chevrenel enhanced argent between a chief two Hummingbirds respectant gold and in base three ships of the period of Christopher Columbus also gold the sails set proper. Crest: Upon a Wreath argent and gules in front of a Palm Tree proper a ship's wheel gold. Supporters: Upon a Compartment representing two Islands arising from the sea, on the dexter side a Scarlet Ibis and on the sinister side a Cocrico, both proper and with wings elevated and adorned.
I know we patriotic and all but so many people are mentioning what they didn't put in the vid. The vid is just 30 min long, he can't say everything about T&T in that time 😑.. Even the man who sent the letter said "don't forget nicki minaj" , even though she was mentioned previously.. 🤷♀️ Ease them up nah lol

You forgot to mention Hannah's error about the Nobel Prize. V.S. Naipaul was awarded the Literature Prize, not the Peace Prize.
It was fun to host you during that 12 hour layover and We are looking forward to your second trip here. Trini 2 de bone🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹
Maybe you can carry him to where the taxpayers reside. They didn't portray your country in a factual manner as Anthony Bourdain did before his passing
@@gmailuser3134 u mean everyone? Everyone are taxpayers hun
Trinidad is also a bucket list country for bird watchers, it is renowned for having around ~500 species, very impressive indeed.
U see them around often in busses by caroni usually

I read that in Harlow's voice.
I didn't know Nicki Minaj was repping her country with that song

🇹🇿 Oh right, the shapes are pretty similar
@@VashdaCrash they certainly are. Love Tanzania's flag a lot also, the colours are just sooo BEAUTIFUL together ❤
we had independence 1962 before them
That trinidad so You mean Tanzania cus trinidad got indepence 1962 🇹🇿🇹🇿🇹🇿🇹🇿
Caribbean nations have the best flags hands down; you got iconic bangers like Bahamas 🇧🇸 , Jamaica 🇯🇲 and Trinidad 🇹🇹

Trini here - thanks a lot for the videos on Sweet T&T! Saw you having issues and realized you had an extra “i”. It’s “Trinbagonian” Trin-bagonian
Thank you💯❤️🇹🇹we appreciate you

Can't wait for the next Fan Friday, Amazing Video Barb's! Trinidad and Tobago is such an interesting nation!
Hey Barbs, maybe you could even do a special episode - or maybe even several episodes - on the natives tribes of North America. It is something people outside the US and Canada have probably very little knowledge of.
agreed
Yeah Barby!!! Thanks so much for the shout out. Glad you dig the soaps, my friend!

Come back for the Carnival and Christmas Season for fun times.
Trinidad and Tobago is home to the world's famous, Angostura bitters and the house of Angostura.
One of the most detailed and coolest coat of arms, the flag is cool too. Red, black, and white is an uncommon combination

Barbs Trinidad have closer ties to Grenada and St Vincent and the grenadines more so than Jamaica due to the similarities of their cultures. Just saying
Trinidad isn't reelly that close with Jamaica ,the main reason they said Jamaica is because the co hoste is half Jamaican .
They should have mentioned the Cedula.
@@shelbourneking7068 very much true these two islands were never close

Seeing that the newer videos are 20-35 minutes long, would you think of going back to the beginning episodes to make those longer?
awesome it’s out!!!!!
yay 1st comment
Pretty cool video
Just curious, when you did geography of North America, you didn't included the United States. Why not do a video on the country, United States? Thanks!
We are aprt of the windward islands
Great video.
Thank you for the awesome videos, I thoroughly enjoyed this and the Trini episode.
I ignore the complaints, we tend to “quarrel for everyting”
I’m curious did you do the famous people I was just curious
When are you going to make that Puerto Rico video that you promised 2 years ago?
I think after finishing all the UN member states
hi. You will get to the U's eventually right? For us, UK, and UAE.

we are nearing the USA episode. thats probably gonna be the weirdest
Am I the only one that sees Trinidad totally looking like a letter “J” with serifs? 😂
Actually it looks like a cursive uppercase T. I learn to draw it due to my cursive/script handwriting.
Yes they had an old english language which is a difficult language in a form of poetry. You know we had an English subjects as a second language class subject. And also a form in BPO and business but not all in our country which is not implement in our DepEd.
Is there a sprecifc name for the old English language?

It is a middle age setting like Beowulf or mainly europe and US in high school.
Hello just a correction, "Perlas ng Silangan" actually means more like "Pearl of the Orient" or "Pearl of the Orient Seas".
does this flag some time have a hummingbird on it?
Gagimarjos is Georgian for cheers 🥂
Yes you Pronounced her name right ✅
Awesome
