5:06 that bridge's history is pretty interesting, i will tell you it was first built in the 1960's projected by the same architect that made the bridge in san francisco (you can clearly see the resemblence) and name "salazar bridge" (salazar refers to António de Oliveira de Salazar, which at the time was the portuguese dictator). At the 25th of april, (exactly 50 years ago, in 1974) there was the "carnation revolution" that took over the dictatorship (the dictator had died 4 years prior and replaced with another dictator), which is a very important date for our nation, hence the name of the bridge :)
18:15 Mount olympus, in greek mythology, is where zeus' throne was situated, and where the most important greek gods lived. So yeah, it is pretty famous
@@zi8gzag The worst part is they don’t even feel any dopamine from that 60 likes, what a waste 😢 Also, fun fact I learned about Mt Olympus is that there’s been a few Greek chads out there that climbed it with the intention of fighting Zeus 😂
5:02 so the bridge is named 25th of april because Portugal lived on a fascist dictatorship for 48 years, and on 25th of april 1974 happened a coup, where the portuguese troops made a revolution to end that fascist dictatorship. Its a cool story, my grandma still says it was one of her happiest moments in her life Love ur videos, and GL for the world cup
I have actually been to that exact NZ Curry House place you were scanning for in the KL round. I am from New Zealand so I tried to ask the owner what NZ stood for, I couldn't really understand what he was saying but it wasn't New Zealand haha
I actually walked down that street in the first Toronto location yesterday lol. When he turns around to see the CN tower 3:29, I can see my apartment buiilding
"I don't really know if it's that famous" haha oh Oscar.. Mount Olympus is the home of Greek Mythology, the legendary home of the Greek gods and Zeus. In terms of reality, it's also the tallest mountain in Greece. In terms of fame, it's definitely up there 😂
Unrelated to the video but there has been a Google Car spotted in Costa Rica, adding to the many new countries getting street view. It is the same type of car as the ones in Panama, Qatar, and Rwanda so there will be car meta, but it will still be exciting.
Mount Olympus is definitely famous as it is where the ancient greek pantheon of gods was said to reside, the nearby settlement of Olympia was the site of the ancient Olympic Games
Olympia is actually not near Mount Olympos, the mountain is in Thessaly in central Greece, while Olympia is situated in Elis in the northwestern Peloponnese :)
Portugal were once part of Spain, we got independence in 1143 and then between 1580 and 1640 again. The bridge is named after the date we kicked dictatorship out of power, 25th of april of 1974, 50 years ago!
Hey zigzag ! We actually got coverage in India where it wasn't available before ex my Village (Malan) which is near Palanpur (North Gujarat) so I am kinda happy but it's the trash cam again 😞
So funny that you mentioned the golden gate bridge and san franscisco before in the lisbon location, our bridge was designed by the same guy who did the golden gate bridge 😂
I literally went to Greece in the spring and we went to meteora. The monasteries was so cool to see. It was really crazy to see a place where I've actually been in one of your videos
I recognised the place becouse when I was at my cousins in North Macedonia, they had one of those magnets on the fridge that had meteora on it. I really wanna see it one day and other cool orthodox monasteries in unbelievable places
With the risk of sounding like the ultimate nerd, the Big Ben is not the large building (that's the Palace of Westminster) nor the tower (which is called Elizabeth tower), but only one of five bells within the tower :P
Hey man, just a tip. The videos are awesome and the title is great, but I've always thought that your face on the thumbnails looks very airbrushed. If that's the vibe you're going for, then great. But RUclips really rewards like a more normal looking edit version of a face. I feel like you should at least try having more of a 'natural' looking thumbnail for a couple videos, worst case you switch back to this style.
I did fairly well I thought. Spoilers follow. Easy I got all of them and a score of 24,999. I missed the 5k by a few metres for the CN Tower (the map did not show a building on the Northern side of the road so I discounted it). Lisbon and London I knew the 5k instantly as I've been to both, and I also recognised Pisa after a few seconds. I recognised Malaysia; and since the Twin Tower is really the only famous landmark I know in the country so I zoomed in right to the 5k. Hard was much harder, but I got the three out of five. R1 I thought Northern Colombia first but couldn't think of a landmark. I was about to give up when I saw that the carpets being sold and visible in the screen had the Chichen Itza Pyramid on them. Now finding Chichen Itza on the other hand... Took me almost 10 minutes but I got there in the end. In Greece (which I was not even sure of) I thought the Acropolis was going to be the landmark. It didn't really look like Athens but there was a parc in the right direction so I guessed there. Probably the footpaths were just footpaths and not a road though... Didn't really know about the monastery either. Now I knew that we might have some less famous landmarks. Next one gave me Guatemala City vibes immediately and I also saw the "Alto". I don't know any landmarks there so I checked the two that showed up first when zooming in and the second was correct (the "Centro de Asistencia Social" POI is quite visible). But how come I have never heard of that tower or seen it when playing GG? R4 I had no clue. I went Brasilia and thought I found a matching road South East of the National Congress, but alas, nope... US makes sense though. R5 Figured out Senegal eventually, and then also gathered it must be Dakar. Didn't know the monument but found it after some scanning.
Yeh one time i got the Petronas Towers on a regular round they are actually shockingly very very well known for future reference(lol i know you realized later im just letting you know of their name in general so u can remember it)
For the first location, in addition to mentioning meters, the "20s handwashing mandatory before entering site" sign doesn't look American to me. I don't think an American sign like that would say "20s" that way, it'd phrase it differently. Here in the US you would most likely see the word seconds spelled out and not reduced to a single letter, I think...
How did I only just find out ur from Adelaide cause that’s where I’m from as well and I’m going to talem bend on Saturday and I’m sure you know where that is
@@yugimotobutjacked3231 Yeah so he doesn’t know how to pronounce it, but that doesn’t change the fact that the proper pronunciation for St. Louis, Missouri is with the “s”.
As someone who lives close to St. Louis, I have seen the Gateway Arch several times before, and that is an incredibly hard round to get unless you've actually been to that overlook before, or seen it before. The Arch didn't even cross my mind tbh.
The UK parliament is falling apart and is rat infested (not a political joke). Whilst the outer shell is iconic the interior needs a massive refurbishment.
What is your best 5k guess? Like how many meters where you away from the right place, my best was 4 meters, it was right before the Eiffel Tower (in famous places 😂!) Your my legend zi8gzag or oscar ❤. Love from Bavaria, Germany ❤❤
Brother, arent you living in Australia? Just that in the last couple of videos you are wearing a hoodie and a jacket over it tho. Is your ac stuck or something? :D
Speaking of, when does Galicia lose it's independence from Portugal? I refuse to accept that Portugal doesn't go all the way up and Spain has a west coast.
To be honest, you not knowing Petronas towers, which was the tallest building in the world before Taipei 101 and then Burj Khalifa, was kind of surprising to me.
I like how he used the spelling of meters and not the fact it wouldn't be in meters in the usa 🤣
easy to forget how special the us is 🤣
My exact reaction was that the American spelling of 2 metres is 6 feet.

Great idea this. You’re right, London has some great buildings!!

Good guess on the Pisa round, I've been to the exact spot and didn't recognize it 🤦♀️
I recognized it from a very similar round that Geowizard did a few weeks back.
The Guatemalan tower I'm pretty sure caused Cinnamonique to guess Eiffel bc of his chat in 0.1secs on stream (from the Salvador video)...

Trivia thing: The leaning tower isn't going to fall, it's structurally very strong

i would 'play along' but i don't feel like embarrassing myself in front of myself today so i'd rather not 😃
you should do geoguessr, but you have to roll a random number between 0 and 25000 every round and then have to try and get that exact score.
