15:00 whatching this as an iranian is so funny 🤣. First of all we are not arabs and we don't speak arabic. we are persians and we speak farsi, and that upside down heart in number 5 in persian. All cars have blue strip and taxis have yellow plates.
Love when i can somehow beat you in flag knowledge (knowing iraq), knowing full well your general geoguessr and geography knowledge is soooooo much better than mine :D great videos man
There was actually a very good clue in the Trinidad and Tobago round (although I don't expect you to know it): an advertisement for Carib beer, which is from that country.
I was screaming in the Iraq round when you didn't recognize the flag xD Great video and great map as well, all photospheres are pretty clean and in decent quality, good job to the creator!
Suriname WAS originally colonised by the British, then we did a deal with the Netherlands, gave them Suriname in exchange for New Amsterdam, which we renamed New York.
10:46 yes you finally got an Iraqi round ! you didn't guess it correctly but that's fine 😂pan flags can be confusing , also just a random fact you can tell syria apart from Iraq by the building in Syria you almost never see regular family houses you will mostly see blocky and more uniformed buildings kinda like Palestine/Israel/Jordan while Iraq is more randomized .
Pakistan has Urdu, which is recognizable in the very un-Arabic "Nastaliq" font or by the final "E" which is a stroke at the left end of the word going down and to the left and then turning around to going straight to the right under the word. In GeoFessr Expeditions -- AE (United Arab Emirates), I point out an Urdu sign there where it is found due to immigration from Pakistan and India.
I am working on a map similar to this, (on my profile james rehan to test out hint hint) except it mixes the unofficial with official, as well as avoiding photospheres.
On the final Tanzania round you focused on the PO box of the contractor and not the project location. The correct city name was a few rows of text above your focus. May come in handy in the future.
9:18 Suriname drives on the left because Guyana drives on the left so they followed suit

@@stephenclark9917 They probably just drive on the left because Guyana and Trinidad and Tobago do.
@@stephenclark9917 you're saying that Netherlands switched to driving on the right hand side in the late 1700s?

That upside down heart is actually number five 😁 ۵

Ok cool, that makes sense
I find it great with this channel that you play so many different and interesting maps.
Cheers! There are many good maps to play!

Suriname round was tough
Iran speaks Farsi, not Arabic - mostly the same alphabet, with a few extra letters that Arabic doesn't use.
Yeah, whoops, I did know that

I saved it!
I was so lost half the rounds, at least I could guess the continent most of the time
Another great video, keep it up!

Cheers Will, I’ll keep an eye out for that next time
de l'espérance means of hope i think and that was the hospital name
Right hahahaha, fair enough
that heart looking character is arabic numeral 5
The hearts are in an "Arabic" numeral.
15:22 Turkey is not arabic country bro u make me sad :(
He meant that the climate/landscape looked more Turkish so he would guess closer to Turkey, he knew he was in Iran cause of the flag.
Nice
Oa
