FLAG/ FAN DAY TUNISIA! (Geography now)

[@GeographyNow]

Let's be real. These videos perform the worst on the channel, but I don't care they are so fun to make. Like whoa never realized I was living paradox that shouldn't exist. Crazy what Tunisa can do to a guy. Also my mom is in this video so if anything just watch it for her not me. ENJOY!

[@miridium121]

I enjoy the flag section (the flags was why I first started watching the videos in the first place when they were still included in the main videos), and also the corrections and additional facts. Not super interested in the section reading letter and receiving gifts, but I think that serves an important part for the community as a way to have a two way communication and to be able to show their appreciation! Unless these videos require a lot of resources, I would like to see them continue until the final country!

[@MalkBloxYT-v3]

As a person from a non-touristic city in tunisia sfax, I'd like to say that, the tourist places are most likely overpriced because of tourists, but non-touristic cities like Sfax doesn't have specific prices for tourists, but it doesn't really have anything to travel to, except for the Medina, the Mall of Sfax, casino (it's a beach not an actual casino), and maybe some other places but there's not much to do, but it's cheap, nice and enjoyable honestly. There's also hammamet, it's a nice place in Nebol it's a cool place for tourists and even citizens of tunisia, a place I'd recommend to stay in; Mrezga, it has a nice beach, the hotels don't take over like the whole beach like some hotel do and much more. There's also douz, tozeur, tunis, soussa and much more! Those are cities I spent summer with my family in (includes hammamet). And I also made this detailed message just so I can help those who didn't visit tunisia before and want to visit it as a tunisian.

[@murphwarships3749]

One thing you should've mentioned when talking about Star Wars is that it almost caused a real war between Tunisia and Libya. Description: Libya (under the rule of Muammar Gaddafi at the time) threatened the Tunisian government that if they didn't remove a military vehicle from their border then there would be a conflict. Turns out that military vehicle was a Jawa Sandcrawler

[@SnabbKassa]

"Gadaffi declares war on Jawa. Empire vows to keep out of it" would be a good headline

I think Tunisia's episode was one of the most unique and amazing ones by far especially with Sami and Ahmed and the amazing crew

I feel totally the opposite. No history section, no famous tunisians (with exception of the music stars)? One of the weaker episodes.

BUT YOU'RE AFRICAN

[@Rayza82]

YES ! We are still watching and love these. They are very informational and the flag/coat of arms of every country is fascinating and unique. Plus the mail is always super random and interesting every time! Can't wait for more FLAG FAN DAYS! Maybe you can set up the camera and mail to open in some interesting area of LA? Like the beach, the Venice basketball courts, Getty Museum view, Hollywood sign, The Queen Mary in Long Beach, Staples Center (or whatever its called now)... Maybe get someone to do some mild security to secure the area with some ropes or something so nobody bugs you in the filming. Plus you could talk about where you are? Might be a cool change up?

[@alanwatts5445]

Yes, I do watch these. Mainly for the corrections, the things you couldn't fit, and of course, THE FLAG. But I usually drop when you do fan mail.

[@frostyw]

Same. I enjoy the flag and coat of arms explanations, but I tend to tune out the fan Mail section when it comes up. (It’s got every right to exist; I’m just not interested in that part.)

I live in small town America, I need constant reassurance that someone cares and is paying attention to the outside world. Please don't take that away. 😂

[@Umkarz]

African Romance still persists to this day. Here a few examples of it in Tunisian Derja: Overn = Foorno Chicken = Fell'oos (Only for chicks) Pennyroyal = Flayy'u. It is a STAPLE tunisian candy that you can usually buy for 5 cents or less. Cat = Gattus. But then again "Cattus" itself is derived from Arabic... Seaweed = Talga And many, many, others... Also: August in the Southern Littoral of Tunisia is still called "Awussu", but my understanding was that "Awussu" overlaps August and is actually mainly used by farmers in their work. It is more of a season than a month I think.

[@Nazmazh]

Honestly, I love vexillology and enjoy seeing the corrections and extra info, but the fanmail stuff does absolutely nothing for me. I always click off once that section starts. If it were purely "flag Friday/whatever day" and the fanmail stuff was separate, I'd be much more inclined to watch the entire video, and people that are truly interested in the fanmail stuff can watch that on its own. Admittedly, I'm not a youtuber or anything, so I have no idea how engagement metrics work, but I can say it would be a lot easier to share the flag info videos for relevant discussions, knowing the extra 10 minutes/however long of irrelevant content for that topic isn't there after the stuff I really wanted to share.

Also, the Geogra-FANMAIL time is very special to me because we get to see the crew interact themselves like real people and not just like professionals reading the teleprompter. And it's very wholesome to see how much GN means to a lot of people around the world. So, if the GN crew wonders if someone cares about the Flag/Fan Day video. Yes, some of us do :)

You should cover HS2 when you get to the UK episode. The first phase between London and Birmingham is currently being built and the second phase is approved as far as Crewe. The rest of the second phase was to have two branches - one going to Manchester and Wigan and the other to Leeds and York, but the link to Wigan has been dropped, as has most of the eastern branch, which will now only go as far as Nottingham, although the rest of the route has been safeguarded
