“I will stand in one state. Fire a gun in another. The bullet will pass through the third state, hitting you in the fourth, and knocking you dead in the fifth. No single act is against any law, but their sum total is the greatest crime since Snape killed Dumbledore!”
My mom and her friends went on a sightseeing vacation in northern Poland to see Gdansk and the old castles of the Teutonic Order. While driving around the countryside, they ended up being stopped and escorted out of the borders of the Kaliningrad exclave by Russian police after unwittingly crossing the border.
I think you have to: eat food that traditionally comes from the place, talk to someone from the place, and spend a minimum of 8 waking hours there (not including being on transport). That rules out "going to 5 countries" on a Caribbean cruise just because you visited the tourist trap shops outside of some port for a couple hours, but not the type where you cruise to a destination and stay there a while.
I'd say you have to go and actually immerse yourself in the place. You don't necessarily need to eat the food, talk to someone, etc just actively exist in the place. It can't just be like you went to the hotel and stayed there or you went for work where you just went from the hotel to the job and nothing else. As for cruises, my mom has gone on one where they went to Italy and Spain. It went to a few different ports and they got to go out on excursions seeing different places. A little tourist trap-y but you could also just go out wandering around if you wanted. They had a few hours to just go around doing whatever they want. I'd consider that as visiting at particular place. Like she didn't visit *Italy* per se but she did visit an area of Italy. I also think that there are larger countries like the US where just saying you went to like LA doesn't mean you visited the US even if you stayed there for the 'requirements' we've mentioned. That really just counts as you explored that area of the state of California. The US is so large and massively different in all areas that it'd be disingenuous to count like just one place as ALL of the US.
@@Eventide215 I lived in Japan for 4 years. That was immersion. I spent 2 weeks in France, 2 weeks in Korea, 3 weeks in Australia (mostly in Tasmania), and a week in New Zealand. None of those were immersion, but I did get a good sense of the culture. I got a much better sense of the cultures from talking to locals & having local cuisine than I did from tourist traps. Though visits to natural history museums provided a lot more context, of course. Regardless, none of these have to do with simply "existing in a place." Similarly I'd say there's a big difference between "traveling *to* a country," "traveling *through* a country," and "visiting a country." I'd call the minimum reqs I posted "traveling to a country." "Visiting" I'd put somewhere between that and immersion (too fuzzy a thing for me to put a concrete conditions on). Regardless, I'd say Americans should spend at least a year immersed abroad. It changes your thinking in so many regards.
@@RubelliteFaeIssue is, and this is by your logic, if I just talk to locals online and cook a traditional dish for that place I've technically visited there. What you consider immersion will be different from other people. Yours might be all about the food and people. For others it'll be the local art and architecture. For others, like me, it'd be seeing the land mostly. As for saying: "Americans should spend at least a year immersed abroad" it's like you flat out don't understand anything about America and refuse to look at all the comments about this exact topic. Also, not everyone wants to travel. The odds are though Americans know a lot more about many different cultures than you do just from being in America. Hence why you feel the need to immerse yourself in others and travel to others. We have so many different influences from cultures all over the world practically everywhere we look.
@@Eventide215 Well no, because that wouldn't have included 8 hours there. Moreover, you're rules-lawyering instead of understanding the spirit of the qualifications. I specifically didn't define immersion. My sense of it comes from anthropology which notably includes the linguistic element. I.e., that language acquisition is distinct to language learning. Yet, even having studied this, I didn't really grok it until having gone through it. That is, I don't think it's truly possible to understand a culture without understanding not just the language, but how the language came to be what it is (e.g., etymology). With regards to my comment that Americans ought to travel more, I am American. And I said this knowing that it's not everyone's desire to. People don't like going to the dentist either-it has no bearing on it being good for them. Of all the people I have met, Americans have the least flexible minds, save those who have spent significant time elsewhere. Doesn't even matter where. Your presumptions are fascinating, tho. Still, I posted a comment for the fun of it and now I suddenly feel thrust into a debate I never desired. No thanks. 👋
I live in the US and have only been to Canada and Mexico Both of those were just day trips though. Lewis was thinking of the Four Corners monument where you can stand in Utah, Colorado, New Mexico, and Arizona at the same time.
I think it's fairly common for people in the US to not really travel to other countries as much as other places. Probably because we already have so many different influences here already. Each state is basically a different culture itself. It makes sense from a size standpoint too.. the UK you can literally drive from the east coast to the west coast in like what I think 14 hours? A 10 hour drive in the US you *might* go through like 2 states. The point being that you can easily see like all the UK has to offer in just a few days. It'd take months to see everything the US has to offer. I think that also falls into what Lewis was saying about "visiting" a country and what that consists of. If you come to the US for like a convention and that's it I wouldn't say you've really visited the US.. you mostly visited that building and maybe a few surrounding buildings.. I'd say you need like a week minimum in a place actively going to places to say you really visited it and going by country is disingenuous - especially with larger ones like the US and Canada. Like saying you went to LA so you saw the US is kind of rude. You saw one small subset of the US. I'm from the US born and raised in PA and have never gone elsewhere except 1 trip to Ohio once. I wouldn't even say I've "visited" the US.. only PA really.
Yeah the US is huge and with it's diversity you can experience a lot of different cultures without leaving the country. It's over 1,200 miles from the northern most city I've lived in(Minneapolis, MN) to the southern most(San Antonio, TX) and the cultural backgrounds are extremely different.@@Eventide215
Theres a whole job around locating places through pictures, its a part of OSINT (Open Source INTelligence) used in police work and investigations. basically paid geo guesser XD interesting as hell =)
The constant battle of keyboard or controller on GTA is so true. As a PC gamer I do prefer keyboard and mouse. I will use a controller for games I feel need it, and I can adapt to controller very easily (I grew up using both interchangeably). However, the problem I have with games like GTA is driving and such is by far superior on controller but aiming is superior on keyboard and mouse.. it's one of the many reasons I don't play GTA. I'd have to basically use controller while driving then when I get out switch to keyboard and mouse and it just sounds too annoying to do.
We also have a sort of munchie box here in Ireland, we only have em from Chinese restaurants and they’re usually called selection boxes with a shit ton of chips and stir fried veg in spices with a fuck ton of dead fried food
I live in England and ive only been to Majorca so Spain for a week over 10 years ago. And else ive only been to Wales. Im waaay to working class to even afford a train and hotel to Scottland let alone other countries.
@@johntong9743 Yeah not a big fan of people. But scenery and nature and wildlife is a big reason to travel. Architecture can be great too. But i fear lots of places are getting modernized and losing its soul.
@@johntong9743 While there are many similarities, I don't want to be in a vehicle driven by a Greek or Turkish driver ever again. No wonder there are so many memorials along their roads. Stopping for pedestrians also seems an entirely alien concept to them.
wait do they not have munchie boxes down south??? im from near newcastle and literally every takeaway does them and yeah Nilesy's description is essentially spot on, just a big box of scran taped together, my local gives you the chips in a seperate box too so its an absolute pile of food.
I thought Zylus was talking about Geowizard at first. He's one of my favourite youtubers, and he's super local to me too. He was the first one I know of to do the whole "finding where a photo was taken without any clues". He has admittedly gotten rustier at geoguessr though since doing the real life "missions". They're fantastic too though.
I've never been outside of the USA, even though I've been close to Canada once when I went to Upper Michigan and Macinaw island. I've also been to Illinois for Chicago, the twin cities on the Minnesota side and the River Museum in Iowa. I live in South Central Wisconsin.
If that's the case as an American, I've visited America and I've also visited the Netherlands specifically Amsterdam. Ireland and Scotland too if you count the boat I was on. It was a lot of fun.
Rarely well? Get one from the spar and you can get a box of 6-8 items for £4 or one from Aldi and get a few days worth of food for £5. It's seriously helped my broke ass out a few times, It's also about time supermarkets and shops start putting unsold products to use instead of dumping them in the bin.
When Rythian was talking about getting the same pasta dish, I was hoping he'd say carbonara 🤤 good man! "Just get a tank, forehead" - words to live by!
Not sure if Zylus was serious about his sister visiting Myanmar or just listing off southeast asian countries she might've visited. But that's a pretty crazy checkmark to have on the list. It's one of the countries with the most serious travel advisories for western tourists. Nothing like visiting the other southeast asian countries.
So, I literally just realized I haven't been on a Yogscast video binge in months, when I used to watch every upload.... Saw this one, and it called to me!
I've been to the Netherlands, England, Ireland, Germany, Belgium, Luxembourg, Spain, Italy and the US. So 9! That's more than I expected haha. I'd love to go to Japan sometime.
I'm lost count on how many countries I've been to. I've also removed some from my list, because while I've been there I was 2 years old which means I have no memories from being there. But I think my list is pretty long. I've been to all the nordic countries, Sweden (where I'm from), Finland, Norway, Denmark and Iceland. In the UK I've been to England (multiple times) and Scotland. I've been to Ireland. On the european continent I've been to France, Germany, Switzerland, Austria, Liechtenstein, The Netherlands, Belgium, Greece and Italy. I've also been to mainland Spain along with three of the Canary Islands (Teneriffe, Gran Canaria and Lanzarote) and Mallorca. I've been to Madeira, but not mainland Portugal. Outside of Europe I've been to 4 different states in the US and Canada. I've been to Japan, Hong Kong, Australia (Sydney) and finally New Zealand. I don't count countries where my plains has landed as having been there. I have more locations I want to go to, but no longer can. I had a trip to Prague planned when the pandemic hit and never got there. I didn't even get all my money back.
So FaceJam just had a recent episode where they talked about Graysies brothers restaurant idea called “The Feeding Trough” lol 😂how do I hear the same concept within a week or so of each other? Uncanny
I'd love to travel to the UK and Europe, but it's not exactly like I can afford to pay for that. On a side note, is it possible to pre-apply for asylum? The upcoming election in America is already looking pretty dicey.
Huh now I'm trying to remember myself, been to Germany, Poland, Denmark, Netherlands, Belgium, Austria, Italy, Bulgaria and Japan. I think I was in the Czech Republic as a little child? And spend five hours in Paris' Airport 😅
Honestly homing missiles are the dumbest thing in GTA as they're rarely ever balanceable. Even back in the day with jets I'd recommend a house rule of 'no homing' they're worst than prox bombs to me as atleast you have to place a proxbomb in a bottle neck or specifically trafficked part of the track, and you can BARELY avoid a prox bomb.
As an European (Czechia) I've been to: Germany, Austria, Italy, Netherlands, Spain, Croatia, Montenegro, Slovakia, United Kingdom (both England and Scotland and a wee bit of Wales), USA (Massachusets and Washington and California), Canada (Toronto). Have I forgotten anything? :) And driven through France, USA (Oregon), Bosnia & Herzegovina... I probably forgot some though :)
I'm just no good at FPS aiming with controller, because I am too old for that shiz, and only ever played shooters on PC. I also can't stand trying to fly a helicopter or plane with a keyboard and mouse (not impossible to drive with KB&M but not as fine controls either). I played GTA5 with a controller to drive/fly, only to drop it in my lap, and jump back to the mouse & keyboard as soon as I was back on foot and needed to aim. The hybrid of the two is just the only way for me. I need analog controls for vehicles, and an inverted mouse for fast twitchy aiming. Yep I am also the inverted mouse guy, for completely ironic reasons. Playing Battlefield & Decent & Rogue Squadron and whatever else with keyboard & mouse back in the day, and me and my friend deciding that we would keep inverted flight sim controls for first person shooting as well in order to unify the two control schemes in our teenaged brains. Now it's just muscle memory and I can't do it any other way. For the same dumb reason if I have to do accurate drive-by shooting for a mission or whatever then I have to drive with WASD and aim with the mouse, but technical non-combat driving requires the controller LOL.
i like how ben mentiones during the geoguesser bit (also is someone making sure he isnt just... casually doxxing people on the internet?) that he doesnt feel like thats a skill that really helps in reality.... ben please. the dude makes a living of off it. how much more of a "usable skill in reality" does it have to be?
So you have to wonder, is this a Legolas vs. Gimli moment, does the United States still only count as one, or does each state count, considering a large number of states are larger than or at least comparable in size to European countries. This is important, because my number goes from like, 4 all the way up to about 29 if we start counting individual states in the US that I have been to
Munchy boxes are a godlike invention, why the English and Welsh do not have them, I do not know. They’re perfect for that night when you just want grease. But Lewis has no idea what is in a real muchy box. Satay chicken? Naw mate. Chips. Donner. Pakora (all kinds). Probably some mixed kebab meats. Then other brown foods, if it’s a more expensive one. Often some garlic bread as well - the weird round stuff you only find in Scottish-Italian Fish and Chip / kebab shops. Nilesy is right, though, it totally depends where you get them and what you pay - if you say ‘munchy box’ to someone in Scotland though, they’ll assume a kebab/chippy style one.
Also, traveling to other states in America is often like visiting a completely different country, with only mildly similar variants of English speakers
America is rich with natural beauty, and Europe is rich with cultural beauty, I think that's the difference. North America is definitely better for seeing a wide variety of landscapes and biomes, it's great! But nothing compares to the history of the Old World
As an American I've been to a dozen different states, but by the countries standard I've only been to 3... The United States, Mexico, and the last one starts with a 'C' and I bet you can never guess which one it is... That's right... It's China. (Sorry Canada, but I'm scared of your geese!)
I've not traveled much, but if you're transferring planes you don't need to show your passport to do the plane change, right? I think that might be a good barometer. If you had to show your passport, then you've "been to that country". Unless you DO have to show it for a plane transfer... P.S: I'd be at 3. I live in Canada, been to US and Mexico.

There is a restaurant that serves all its food in a trough. It's called Tragg's Trough.
I think you have to: eat food that traditionally comes from the place, talk to someone from the place, and spend a minimum of 8 waking hours there (not including being on transport).
That rules out "going to 5 countries" on a Caribbean cruise just because you visited the tourist trap shops outside of some port for a couple hours, but not the type where you cruise to a destination and stay there a while.
I'd say you have to go and actually immerse yourself in the place. You don't necessarily need to eat the food, talk to someone, etc just actively exist in the place. It can't just be like you went to the hotel and stayed there or you went for work where you just went from the hotel to the job and nothing else.

I've also been to mainland Spain along with three of the Canary Islands (Teneriffe, Gran Canaria and Lanzarote) and Mallorca. I've been to Madeira, but not mainland Portugal. Outside of Europe I've been to 4 different states in the US and Canada. I've been to Japan, Hong Kong, Australia (Sydney) and finally New Zealand. I don't count countries where my plains has landed as having been there. I have more locations I want to go to, but no longer can. I had a trip to Prague planned when the pandemic hit and never got there. I didn't even get all my money back.
Kirsty: I've been to Belgium
Lewis: I'm sorry for you
wtf Lewis :o
What you do with a dump meal is put down butcher paper or something similar.
26:40 you could make some kind of joke about killing someone on top of their teammate's corpse
Zylus! baby! if ever you're in the canaries again, let me buy you a beer!
Ive spent enough time in Sweden's customs that it should absolutely count as being in Sweden.
He did use to be twirlyswirly, nilesywilesy. it goes together in some ways.
If the wider world knew about munchie boxes, America's reputation for gluttony would suddenly start looking relatively tame
What a coincidence, a trough based restaurant came up on an episode of the Facejam podcast like last week. XD
So FaceJam just had a recent episode where they talked about Graysies brothers restaurant idea called “The Feeding Trough” lol 😂how do I hear the same concept within a week or so of each other? Uncanny
6:00 well Ben has been marked for death in Luxembourg.
i moved around a lot as a kid - by 9 years old id lived in 4 different countries lol. malawi, tanzania, france and then england
Bruh Rythian lives in Sweden. How come he doesn’t know how the cruise ships work in the Baltic 😂
He's from Skåne. They only got ferries to Denmark and Germany
Most of the ferries go from Stockholm
24:28 Bleugh!
15:37 (affeftionate joke) Zylus putting the whole Yogscast on the spectrum
I'd love to travel to the UK and Europe, but it's not exactly like I can afford to pay for that. On a side note, is it possible to pre-apply for asylum? The upcoming election in America is already looking pretty dicey.
Huh now I'm trying to remember myself, been to Germany, Poland, Denmark, Netherlands, Belgium, Austria, Italy, Bulgaria and Japan. I think I was in the Czech Republic as a little child? And spend five hours in Paris' Airport 😅
Honestly homing missiles are the dumbest thing in GTA as they're rarely ever balanceable. Even back in the day with jets I'd recommend a house rule of 'no homing' they're worst than prox bombs to me as atleast you have to place a proxbomb in a bottle neck or specifically trafficked part of the track, and you can BARELY avoid a prox bomb.
As an European (Czechia) I've been to:
Germany, Austria, Italy, Netherlands, Spain, Croatia, Montenegro, Slovakia, United Kingdom (both England and Scotland and a wee bit of Wales), USA (Massachusets and Washington and California), Canada (Toronto). Have I forgotten anything? :)
And driven through France, USA (Oregon), Bosnia & Herzegovina...
I probably forgot some though :)
everyone: visited the world.
me: never left my hometown
☹
Not too late!
For the record intelligence services does hire and use people who are really good at geoguesser.
I'm just no good at FPS aiming with controller, because I am too old for that shiz, and only ever played shooters on PC. I also can't stand trying to fly a helicopter or plane with a keyboard and mouse (not impossible to drive with KB&M but not as fine controls either). I played GTA5 with a controller to drive/fly, only to drop it in my lap, and jump back to the mouse & keyboard as soon as I was back on foot and needed to aim. The hybrid of the two is just the only way for me. I need analog controls for vehicles, and an inverted mouse for fast twitchy aiming. Yep I am also the inverted mouse guy, for completely ironic reasons. Playing Battlefield & Decent & Rogue Squadron and whatever else with keyboard & mouse back in the day, and me and my friend deciding that we would keep inverted flight sim controls for first person shooting as well in order to unify the two control schemes in our teenaged brains. Now it's just muscle memory and I can't do it any other way. For the same dumb reason if I have to do accurate drive-by shooting for a mission or whatever then I have to drive with WASD and aim with the mouse, but technical non-combat driving requires the controller LOL.

Also, "Spaghetti on board" is a wonderfully fun time, fuck y'all :P
i like how ben mentiones during the geoguesser bit (also is someone making sure he isnt just... casually doxxing people on the internet?) that he doesnt feel like thats a skill that really helps in reality.... ben please. the dude makes a living of off it. how much more of a "usable skill in reality" does it have to be?
So you have to wonder, is this a Legolas vs. Gimli moment, does the United States still only count as one, or does each state count, considering a large number of states are larger than or at least comparable in size to European countries.
This is important, because my number goes from like, 4 all the way up to about 29 if we start counting individual states in the US that I have been to
Is that really faint KSP music at 17:00 as Kirsty launches herself up too high
24, not counting airport stops. Favorite country is Iceland.
10+ years since the game came out and they still don't have the controls figured out lmao
The Yogscast Guarantee!
Im pretty sure a bit of land in Devon is classed as Canadian territory.
We have munchy boxes in my local Chinese and I live in the Midlands of England
I was in Europe and Asia in the same hour. Went to Istanbul and landed at the new airport on the Asia side, then took a bus over to the Europe side.
toogoodtogo isnt too bad, it just depends where you go, some places you can get a whole lot, others, not so much
It's a bike race and since most of them have maxed out their characters stats at this point it means they have infinite stamina
Poor Nilesy
Hey....the skies over Idaho are gorgeous, seriously though.
Asking how many european countries you've been to is like asking an american how many states, it's basically the same amount of effort
Everyone is talking about visiting multiple countries, and I'm sat here only going to France with school as a kid and Wales for Camping...
Munchy boxes are a godlike invention, why the English and Welsh do not have them, I do not know.
They’re perfect for that night when you just want grease.
But Lewis has no idea what is in a real muchy box. Satay chicken? Naw mate. Chips. Donner. Pakora (all kinds). Probably some mixed kebab meats. Then other brown foods, if it’s a more expensive one. Often some garlic bread as well - the weird round stuff you only find in Scottish-Italian Fish and Chip / kebab shops.
Nilesy is right, though, it totally depends where you get them and what you pay - if you say ‘munchy box’ to someone in Scotland though, they’ll assume a kebab/chippy style one.
Also, traveling to other states in America is often like visiting a completely different country, with only mildly similar variants of English speakers
America is rich with natural beauty, and Europe is rich with cultural beauty, I think that's the difference. North America is definitely better for seeing a wide variety of landscapes and biomes, it's great! But nothing compares to the history of the Old World
When going places, I collect patches to sew onto my bag
Is luxemburg like the old person on the corner everyone says doed it count?
Jack in the box here in america has a munchie meal. They started that like 11 years ago.
Nilesy Wilesy should do a collab with Rumble Tumble.
"I have been to 20 different countries" ... I wish I could go to 1 other country.
I’d like to see Duncan bring back Robin!
We all know Ben has been to South Africa
As an American I've been to a dozen different states, but by the countries standard I've only been to 3... The United States, Mexico, and the last one starts with a 'C' and I bet you can never guess which one it is... That's right... It's China. (Sorry Canada, but I'm scared of your geese!)
To be fair the sky in Idaho is really pretty. As I live there. Feeling called out here.
NilesyDub implies the existence of NilesySub
the pains of being an American, and the idea of wandering Europe is just not a day trip thing XD
You gotta spend more time in other countries to do the side quests bro. You know you want the Loremaster achievement.
It’s crazy how similar a munchy box sounds to a HSP
I still can't believe that they don't know you just have to press caps lock to start using stamina on a bike.
Can’t wait to here hello everyone welcome to gta 6
I've not traveled much, but if you're transferring planes you don't need to show your passport to do the plane change, right?
I think that might be a good barometer. If you had to show your passport, then you've "been to that country".
Unless you DO have to show it for a plane transfer...
P.S: I'd be at 3. I live in Canada, been to US and Mexico.
BEN. I count them I'm not rich. I gotta find some way to make myself feel better.
