Hey Tom got a tip for you. That last guess that went to Manitoba was funny for me . Because when I saw it I thought man that looks just like it does around where I live. And look at that tit was only 30km away from our farm. A tip for you to help identify gravel roads in Canada : They are ALWAYS Raised with a Slope of 3-1 (most of the time) . Also one side or the other will have a bit of a gravel ridge from where the machine grade the road. Usually in the late fall the grass on the side will also be cut back just like it is in that picture. This is done so when the snow blows it catches in the ditches and we don’t get snow drifts.

The Netherlands one with "oant sjen" was actually rather cool. Being from the north of the Netherlands myself, I'd recognized it instantly. It translates to goodbye and is the Frisian language. Which is from the northern province Frisia or Friesland how we call it. However, they do say the Frisian language is comparable to the Danish, so you weren't far off.

**Helpful advice** For your last attempt there. There was a mixed Forrest. Coniferous and deciduous trees (evergreens/softwood and broadleaf/hardwoods). This isn't a common occurrence. Its limited to the Canada/USA border (Saskatchewan and eastward to the Atlantic). Also this occurs in some of Europe, but it is easy to distinguish as Europe is much much more mountainous (or even hilly) than the eastern half of North America. Here you can see very flat terrain typical of Central Canada maybe northern USA. I have an unfair advantage recognizing Canada being from here, but just some helpful advice for next time Good luck on breaking that record!!

[@Brainfear91]

Hi Tom. I'd like to give you a bit of inside information regarding the second guess of the video, for future endeavours. The northernmost province of the Netherlands, called Friesland, has its own, officially recognised language: Frisian. You can even find it in Google Translate. The language you see on the sign is Frisian and would be a dead giveaway if you're familiar with the language. It basically reads 'goodbye,' as you're leaving the municipality.

[@kottusultimus1765]

"driving on the right - must be northern Argentina" :D

[@GigglingChinchilla]

@3:08 That sign is in Frisian, if you think you are in The Netherlands and the words look more Scandinavian, a good bet is that you are in Friesland province. (Frisian is an official language.)

[@slendydie1267]

The last guess scuffed it. I'm not good at this but the firs second i saw the last picture i said canada never even been there it just felt like canada. I knew it wasn't Bulgaria since i'm from there. We usually have more evenly distributed trees on roads like these left and right side would look about the same and when traveling small houses are seen very often. Also fences or cultivated land is also seen very often. But it isn't a bad guess since in the winter it does kinda look like that when traveling. Wanna add that the Turkey guess was amazing.

[@willywilliams9913]

3:30 in the Netherlands there is a province called Friesland, they have a.different language then Dutch, they speak"fries" so the sign that you where seeing said, tot ziens/see you later. It is in "farmer language"
