Brazil and Namibia were REALLY close and used to hang out very often till like... 150 million years ago I think. Damn you Atlantinc ocean! Always plotting to split close friends.
As a coniseur of flags, the Namibia flag is a really good flag. It's very distinctive while also being pretty simple with clear strong colors. This is how you design a modern flag.
Catherine Howard is one of my favourites because she was very interesting and she’s really under appreciated! Thanks for putting my letter in the video!!!
markmh835 Anne of cleaves played the conventional helpless woman part, claiming all of her riches from Henry VIII and Catherine Parr, whilst still interesting, had her flaws. Catherine Howard was a feisty, ambitious woman who won the heart of the king through her own methods, not her father’s, line so many other of Henry VIII’s wives.
I gotta say, I like the chill vibe of these videos much better than the rushed, aggressive energy of the main ones. Also, this feels more to the point, while the main ones I feel like too much time is wasted with segues and segue jokes.
I almost wish I could have our flag reinterpreted so by the time GeographyNow reaches it, we can have an awesome animation. Shoutout from the Philippines!
Barbs, quick note on your point at 0:47 - 1915 was prior to the enactment of the Statute of Westminster in 1931 which effectively gave South Africa sovereignty as a Commonwealth Realm. Prior to that is was a dominion under the British Empire which functioned as a semi-independent polity.
The inhaling yes has spread from the northern Sweden to the south, though. I grew up on the west coast (near Gothenburg) and I've used that manner of saying yes my entire life. Mostly I use it when I agree with something someone else says. It's less invasive and interrupting than saying "yes, yes, yes" when someone speaks!
The Serbian hat is called šajkača, a variant of Beret hat. Keep in mind though that the hat ignites a lot of bad emotions in people in Croatia due to the Yugoslav wars in 1990-s, and since then we just can't finish that chapter of history.
Yes i love nambia and all african country because my favorite color is black that why love skinny black people in africa but my skin is so skinny white but I want to be black too greetings from the philippines!!
I stay by Cape Town, South Africa, and have been to Namibia a few times. (And, the USA (Seattle and Florida) and Canada (Victoria and Vancouver).) I also thought that it's South Africa's Canada. In some ways Namibia is like Canada. (All Canadians I mentioned that to, get upset and offended if I say that in some ways Canada is like Namibia. I guess it's because Canada is first world and Namibia is third world. That's not what I'm referring to. It's also due to ignorance about Namibia and Africa.) For instance both are in the shadow of their more populous southern neighbours, in the shadow of big brother, and wanting their own cultural ways. (A difference is that South Africa ruled Namibia for 75 years.) Both have low populations for their large sizes. (Namibia has the lowest population in Africa, and one of the lowest in the world.) Both are regarded as deserts, which isn't true. Canada is regarded as a desert of ice and snow. That would not be true over all of Canada, and all year. Namibia is regarded as a desert of sand. But, that's just in the south and the coast. Both have controversial seal culling programs A case of Namibia and Canada should hang out some time.
Barby, by the time you reach N for Nepal, please mention the national dish, momo (dumplings), and just for fun, please make a "insert Twice's Momo reference here" joke in the video.
The arms and flag of Namibia were designed by South African Herald and Vexillologist Fred Brownell, the same man who designed the current flag of South Africa.
It is completely wrong when you say that the Germans left and then South Africans invaded. It was WWI at the time and South Africa, part of the Commonwealth, so allied to the Entente, invaded Namibia.The Germans just did not have enough garrison to defend against.
Omg so fun that you got a card from Sweden and from Umeå love that city🇸🇪 and yes they inhale as a yes in the north of Sweden😂Right Now it’s -20 there❄️ I love This channel!
Another point about Namibia, is that Walvis Bay was an exclave of South Africa, in Namibia. It was handed to Namibia in 1994. That is along with many of those sanctuary islands that were mentioned. So, for instance from 1915 to 1990, it was part of South Africa, and surrounded by Namibia (South West Africa then) that was ruled by South Africa.
9:159:259:35 It's spelled "y'all" not "ya'll." Short for "you all." -_- I mean, you still get a Like, but I only clicked on the tip of the thumb, not the whole hand!!! :P
I totally think you should make a separate video on Kashmir. There’s a lot to unpack there that isn’t necessarily covered in the China or India episodes.
@@Therongunner yah! The first picture he showed was dune 7 but the second one was actually from sossusvlei (which is the tallest in Namibia, dune 7 is #2)
I got a notification for this and i was so happy :) i can recall the moment im playing roblox I get a notification of this vid I feel like im gonna get first I slap my hands against my kitchen counter with joy it brings me to the vid shows me that there are at least 600 comments i cri

It does, right there with South Africa. 🇳🇦🇿🇦
Lol and the star in the flag is similar to the former ROC flag
Shout-out to all Namibians, i hope we can hang out again after millions of years, you guys are aweosme!

I'll be surprised if Barby was able to find any Geograpeeps from that country to send him information
I think he alrealdy did This episode,nauru is pretty small
The welwitschia mirabilis is not only found in Namibia, its also found in Angola more especially in Namibe province (which borders Namibia)
Now I want to go to Namibia even more
u are welcomeeeeee
Welcome anytime...
I love Namibia from Somalia 🇸🇴
And we love you too?
Love somalia from namibia
Catherine Howard is one of my favourites because she was very interesting and she’s really under appreciated! Thanks for putting my letter in the video!!!
Didn't Catherine Howard get her head cut off? I think 6th wife Catherine Parr is far more interesting. And let's not forget Anne of Cleves!
markmh835 Anne of cleaves played the conventional helpless woman part, claiming all of her riches from Henry VIII and Catherine Parr, whilst still interesting, had her flaws. Catherine Howard was a feisty, ambitious woman who won the heart of the king through her own methods, not her father’s, line so many other of Henry VIII’s wives.

LOL'ed at the memes! awesome video as always Noah and Barbs!
Proudly Namibian here, glad you reviewed my country again🇳🇦
I love you Namibia ❤

Shoutout from the Philippines!

Nepal coming soon very excited!!
And the red stands fooor....
The namibian people...
-Wait they're not red they're bl-
Just good flag innit
8:20 I liked Noah before, but now I fuckin love him..
Was so happy to watch the video!!!! Thank you it was amazing!!
Namibia being a desert does have rare instances of snow. Canada would approve I mean.
Wow, you can notice the difference when Noah was the guest today. Such a calm, chilled out energy. Barbs was ALMOST acting like an adult there. ;)
Your so Lucky, you get all sorts of food and sweets from all around the World. It's so damn nice

The Namib Desert is a wonderful, majestic and vast swath of land along the southern terrain of Namibia.
angola also have part of namib desert
5:37 Rotterdam isn't a part of Amsterdam they are both city's with in the Netherlands.

6:02 lol you did that to bandiatera in the denmark episode !
Lol, we get the last months alot of flags about "And the red stands fooooooor..... something else" haha
I really love how hard you try to give context to every country.
I still love LIMBERWISK...
Hi Bars , greetings from the PHILIPPINES.
Namibia is absolutely South Africa's cousin 🤣 Like Canada they even have less social issues than us.
That is very true , yet we still suffer from South Africa’s problems.
Yes i love nambia and all african country because my favorite color is black that why love skinny black people in africa but my skin is so skinny white but I want to be black too greetings from the philippines!!

Am Namibian and I didn’t know that, that’s amazing, you learn something everyday
I'm Namibian... 🇳🇦 🇳 🇦 Love y'all
Maybe the red represents tomatoes?
I'm an Australian looking forward to the Nauru episode.
I really like Noah now, he's such a chill dude.

Calm down. It’s basically the same thing, this is not History Now.
For a filler week you should do the federal states of Germany.
i love this geogra-fanmail time :3 someday i would be able to send you something from Colombia for sure

Can you make a filler week video about the provinces of China, and another one about the states of Germany? Great channel btw.
2:21 You too Namibia?! Go to the corner and think about what red really means again lol!
Correction: Dune 7 is the longest dune in the world, not the tallest.
The tallest dune is located in Sossussvlei, still in Namibia btw.
I LOVE NAMIBIA ESPECIALLY THE FLAG greetings from argentina🇦🇷🇦🇷

I feel like we all need to appreciate the transition animations in all geography now videos.
Well, when the continents were together in Pangea, Brazil and Namibia literally hung out together.
The cave at 1:19 is in Iceland, you mentioned it in the Iceland episode, i was there, its beautiful.
I totally think you should make a separate video on Kashmir. There’s a lot to unpack there that isn’t necessarily covered in the China or India episodes.
6:00 I knew there was going to be a Limberwisk reference.
Bless the rains down in Africa.
So Noah likes anime, thats my boi.
Rotterdam - Amsterdam :), it was The Netherlands
Definitely sending something in the future
Holy cow! Noah and I have the same favorite foods! How cool is that! 😀
Does anything ever get Noah excited? He is always such a chill guy on screen. LOL
A good meatloaf 😁
@@noahgildermaster8105 yes. A well made meatloaf is a wonderful thing. 😎
That orange white and blue flag was the old South African flag, the SA government adopted it to SWA during the trusteeship

Can't wait for the Nigerian episode!! HMU if y'all need some facts checked. Born and raised in Lagos 🇳🇬
YAY ANOTHER VIDEO
2:22 OH MAH 🅱️OI YOU JUST GOT PRANK'D

The red snack package from Israel is actually my favorite. The one with the bears.
When you are done with Zimbabwe, you should do a short series called Coat of Arms Friday for the earlier countries from Afghanistan to Croatia.
You guys should do episodes about the British, French, and Dutch Overseas Territories.
5:07 malaka, anybody else greek, no, ok
2:34 the union jack is upside down in the flag!
Namibia has snow every few decades. Not much, but the Namib is a quite cold desert, and quite far south.
i'm in love with noah. hello from brazil!
Ken never got threatened with being fired.
Is Barbs ok!?
I love geography and sociology in school
I thought you would talk about the similarity of this sun to the sun in the flag of the Republic of China
