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!
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 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.
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.
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.

@@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!
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.
@@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.
@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!
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.
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 :)
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.
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
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!
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.
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.
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
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
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
Everyone in Geography now should start a world-wide movement to push for the laser kiwi flag. There's even a TH-cam video showing the laser kiwi and the anthem. Just imagine, a flag that makes you smile.
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!
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!
I was born in Wanaka NZ and now living in London Uk with the tattoos i half sleeve of the history of my father side and the half a history of my mothers side thanks for the video Paul
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 laugh when Americans pronounce British towns/cities. This coming from a half American who learned the pronunciations by being around Brits. Woe is the one who mispronounces British place names 😆
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!
Flag New Zealand is Problems Flag War, because the Flag is Same with Australia

Get rid of the geography now jingle. It is childish.

Apparently we have to get to the “P” countries first.
The red in Norway's flag isn't for the blood? Oh.

Ema F all I know is that Tongans are not related to Maori but Samoans and Cook Islands have similar cultures to Nz.

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

I love the different approach in flag/fan friday! really nice to see Noah again! (of course love to see all of you today!)
awesome video as always! ❤️
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.
It would have probably been known as _Kanaky_
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.
they also did so without a lin manuel miranda song playing in the background

Carlos Saraiva they’re from Los Angeles, which has that reputation

Lol
Thank you Babry and your co hosts for opening my package for looking at my postcards. And thank you hannah for reading my letter from New Zealand.

Yay you really were aware of the flag referendum. (Btw I'm just an American geogrophy nerd)
I heard about it out here in The Netherlands. It was world news.
Errr.. Isn't this something like everyone knows? - Just an Egyptian geography nerd passing by :)
Hi a fellow American GeoNerd
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 :)
20 million NZD down the drain for it. People here were furious. We're all fine with the current flag now. From a New Zealand Geographer :)
You know way more about my country than I do, well done!
Every one including my brother was looking at Hannah

Hahahaah excellent reference to Eye To Eye, thanks for the intell Noah
Glad to have sent y'all a postcard!
Ok but real talk: Where do you put all of this stuff? Do you guys have a storage locker or something?
Joshua Kramer I've wondered that as well. You could make several blankets out of all the flags you get.
Wow that's really cool..
Amazing stuffs from different country.
I love this.Good educative channel.
Take love from #BANGLADESH bro.🔥❤❤☺🙂😊
Holy cow! That handkerchief is from Lorraine! So am I! I got way too excited over this 😂
Didn’t think that someone from my home country would send something (🇸🇾🇸🇾)
This is a very good video. Good laughs and I had a smile on my face the whole time.
as a new zealander i wish we had just gone back to the united tribes flag after the referendum tbh
5:02 its me!! I also have another postcard I have just finished writing from Wales!
I love the concept of the indigenous flag of new zealand
12:38 Keith absolutely ruthless haha
Man, I was in Nashville just over a week ago! I could've seen that Parthenon!
That ending, brought me back to the 90s
Laser Kiwi Flag and change the national anthem to The Pink Panther Scheme then we would be the coolest country at the Olympics
12:07 "This package is from Leroy..."
Noah: Okay, Leroy, you have my attention.
New Video !!! Best way to spend my time for the next 15 minutes !!!!!!!!!
Who Agrees ???

I don't know why, but I kind of like the Friday episode more. I suppose it's interesting to see all that mail get opened from around the globe.
I like it, when they are all together :)
On the Romanian shirt Keith got it was written something along the lines of 'While you are still alive'
Honestly learnt a few things about my own country
Me too :D
Which is what?
Australia must be really happy now that New Zealand is added to the Oceania playlist I bet they're going to do a fun activity together

We should have a map of how many countries have contribed to fan friday
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
What if every country's flag was just a picture of a laser eyed version of their national animal.
Bald eagle lasering Afghanistan lol

5:20 French Guyana isn't an island though.
I prefer the fan mail segment being hosted on the sofa at home. Its more relaxed and casual :). This time it felt more stiff and less personal.
