Pssssshhhh your loss. I'll take Laser Kiwi any day. Thanks to all the people that sent in stuff from all over the world (even Antarctica!) Enjoy this new episode of Flag/ Fan Friday!
Hey guys, Romanian here, just wanted to translate what it says on the t-shirt - Cat esti inca viu = While you are still alive Kind regards from Romania!
Wow, I have no knowledge of Romanian language but I know my own mother tongue Hindi has roots in Sanskrit (one of the component of the ancient Proto-Indo European Language). So even if I didn't knew exactly what it meant, the sounds and the letter arrangements seemed quite familiar to me until I realised that in Sanskrit that phrase would be written as "Câtham asi incam vayun" which is shockingly similar to how it is written as well as spoken in Romanian and carrying the same meaning too! Mind Blown!
Astro Neel our Language and most of the european Languages except Hungarian,Finnish,Estonian and Turkish, have Indo and Ancient iranian descendence.it’s true the Languages always adapt to change, but one thing îs certain:it al started in Asia!
you forgot to mention why the southern cross is used so much! or maybe it was hard research idk, but the southern cross is important because it is what guided the Māori to NZ, because Polynesians used the stars in the sky to navigate the sea!
@@amarni8117 Tongans and Samoans are related and essentially the same people, Polynesians, and similar in looks and language and culture. Cook Island and New Zealand Maori are related to each other and very similar in looks, language and culture.
The Maori of New Zealand are Polynesians they are related to the Samoans, Hawaiians, Tongans, Easter Islanders, Tahitians, Cook Islanders etc. Their ancestors were voyagers who user the stars, sea and wind to navigate the Pacific.
Come to think of it, if New Caledonia had been got independent, that would've been the country Paul would've been covering this time, and we'd have to wait for New Zealand until next week.
Am I the only one who really likes this setup for the Flag/Fan Friday’s? Seeing a bit of the main cast having fun opening packages and reading letters.
hey Barbs, you actually still looks like very tired.. are you okay? do you need more resting time? i do love Geography Now! but if you are willing to take a bear nap, please feel free to do it ('cause it seems you kinda need it) that being said, i love the fact that Hannah became part of the crew. she's amazing and she has a beautiful voice.
@@cheesecakegnome1 So there's still radiation but not deadly, only equivalent to a hand X-ray. Thanks man! I thought that place would be dangerously radioactive for a few decades
@@cypherbrittainnethegodofsl4988 there are some places still off limits that will kill you, but if you stay with your your guide and dont act like an idiot, its totally fine, and one of the coolest tours I've ever done! I highly reccomend going!
@Defild is a Noob Yesss. Actually I wrote something like this: "I love your channel and you are cool such as this strong highlander". And visit Scotland! It's amazing!
That flag thing was so stupid. No one asked for it and no one wanted it, it was basically just a dumb political stunt by the former prime minister John Key at the taxpayer's expense. Thankfully we have a much better Prime Minister now :)
@@gowthamm2262 I teach in Korea. When I went to see the Olympics, there was an area with postcards and mailboxes. I'm just surprised that it took so long to go out. My family and friends also got theirs late.
Yay! My postcard from Nashville's Parthenon replica finally made it on the podcast :D Loved the New Zealand episode and the recent inclusion of Hannah. She'll get my next postcard from hopefully Colombia.
Hannah, we love you but just a little note from a Chicago native... We have a saying here "There's no 'noise' in Illinois." The 's' should be silent at the end of the state name. It's a common mistake most non-Illinoisans make. We love you gals and guys!
Romanian here. The band is called E-An-Na(pronounced Eh-Ahn-Nah). "Viu"(Alive) is the name of one of their albums. They're jokingly referred to as shepard metal because they like to use that as a theme in their songs.
I'm a new Subscriber, I just subscribed around 2 weeks ago, And I finished watching every single episode From Afghanistan To Flag Friday New Zealand , And I'm feeling I'm having a geography information overload in my head hahaha... So much information and so much things to learn about, This is such a great Channel... I'm so glad I subscribed to this channel. Can't wait for the next episode.
Everyone in Geography now should start a world-wide movement to push for the laser kiwi flag. There's even a RUclips video showing the laser kiwi and the anthem. Just imagine, a flag that makes you smile.
I’m fairly certain that the tattoos you featured were predominately Tahitian rather than Maori. Maori tattoo generally have koru throughout, which represents the new growths of the fern, which is often used to represent New Zealand.
I’m part Maori and I don’t care if people who aren’t Maori get traditional Maori tattoos as long as they understand what the tattoos mean, I think most others will agree
There is a MicroNation in New Zealand that is a popular tourist destination, starts with a W, I can’t remember it but all I know it that it’s in the northern island and it had a few animals as mayors
Dammit Barbs, you forgot about the red ensign flag of NZ, also called the red duster, flown on non-government ships and on occasions of Māori significance
I put this comment on your other video but I'm really curious where your pronunciation for Māori comes from. I've never heard a Māori person pronounce it the way you do. They've always said "Maa-ree", (with a rolled 'r') and not "Mow-ree" like you say it. The macron (the line over the a) indicates it's a long "a" sound, is in "car" (and there's an iwi where I live who do not like using macrons and actually write Māori as Maaori too). I've also Googled multiple pronunciation guides online and they say it the way all the Māori I know say it - "Maa-ree" not "Mow-ree". So if you ever read this comment would you mind telling us your source? Cheers!
A lot of you are disappointed we didn't change our flag; I am too. But if you knew us for any real length of time, you wouldn't be surprised. We're a practical people to a fault. We're the kind of country that has the stroke of inspirational *GENIUS* to name our main islands North and South. We're anti-intellectual, boring and uncomplicated.
Here you have a country that recently voted to change their flag, and you barely mention it in a video dedicated to discussing their flag. As someone from outside NZ who is actually interested in it and the country, I really wish you talked about it more: what its design signifies, what were some of the other (non joke designs), and when will this new design be adapted? Pretty disappointing as a Patreon supporter of yours who was looking forward to learning about NZ's new flag. Will it not be adapted now?
I'm not a Kiwi so take this with a grain of salt: I would redesign the flag to include the Southern Cross contsellation on the hoist side, with a Maori symbol in the corner. Colors would be red white and blue like the old flag
Chad Kiwis: Wins war against 12 foot tall brid monsters. With sharp sticks and rocks. Virgin Aussies: can't beat a 6 foot tall bird things with machine guns and trucks.
Yo barbs I’m gonna day this before you can’t se it but you are the reason I have a an interest in countries and memorized all the counties in world. So thanks
How can they call 4 stars in a cross shape as THE southern cross- that’s just a geometric cross shape. It needs a 5th (or more) stars to be a representation of the southern cross constellation specifically.
man... imagine the Syrian kid would win at the end of the video. I'll tell you right now boy, you've gotta be the bravest mail man on earth in order to drive into battlefield Aleppo to deliver a note pad and a botton
thats a neat idea! They could a pin in the locations that people mention in the postcards and packages and have it in the background of future episodes
Great Videos. I enjoy learning more about Geography and various cultures around the Earth. I really enjoy Noah, good sense of humor, very smart and damn handsome!
Many people did think that it was time for a change, a flag more indicative of our place in the South Pacific etc... however the process was too hasty and flawed. However, one day a change will occur.
well, I'm the guy who send this from Port Klang....... by the way.....I feel sorry for the flavour of Kit-Kat is tasted gross lol (I haven't tasted it before) I just live in the same city with that guy who submitted the video

Nice try though.

actually as a new zealander the southern cross is not used that oftenly

they also did so without a lin manuel miranda song playing in the background
Come to think of it, if New Caledonia had been got independent, that would've been the country Paul would've been covering this time, and we'd have to wait for New Zealand until next week.

Ok but real talk: Where do you put all of this stuff? Do you guys have a storage locker or something?
