Hi from 🇳🇵

[@YourAverageMongus]

made me chuckle

[@justinh.7846]

Paul, I dont care if the videos get too long. I always love learning more things about different countries.

[@0dayswithoutincident934]

Same here. I probably would know very little about somewhere like Mongolia or Kyrgyzstan if it weren't for these videos. They may take up more time, but that only means that there's more interesting things to learn about the country. On top of that, if the videos getting longer means there's more to learn about the country, then I'm all down for it.

[@tdotrtz2107]

In fact once he's done all the countries. I want him to do an update video of the earlier countries he did where it was like 15 minute or less or the big countries he didn't get the chance to make a 30+ minute on.

[@tobi6891]

[@j.woodbury412]

I totally agree. Especially the more obscure countries.

[@vusherman1125]

well you don't like US so that's why you complaining why the video is too long

[@meowmeowmcpurrington2480]

Also, isn't the point of Geography now supposed to be long and informative? I think the Russia and American Episodes are great considering how much information they put on there. I like having the videos long and perfectly fine if they were longer, I mean can one describe a culture in one word? Not to mention there is so much that a country you can mention food, nature, natural geography, political geography, the many cultures the country has (also immigration in the country or the situation of it's refugees), I'm only listing a few here. I love geography and I am a geography enthusiast, I find the argument of making videos shorter bizarre considering what this channel is for.

[@KabalFromMK9]

Mostly people from the "early-in-the-alphabetical-order countries" as their country episodes are way shorter, some are less than 10 minutes.

[@lachlansmart2373]

I have always felt that the US has a beautiful flag. It's a bit busy, and red, white, and blue, are a bit overused. But its such an iconic design.

[@bigboiganiga8356]

Its only overused cause its America. Hate it or not, USA produces is current generation iconic country.

[@meowmeowmcpurrington2480]

I think the US's flag is well designed for the most part but how the 50 stars are aligned always kind of annoyed me as they aren't in rows of five but that's a minor gripe. But yeah it certainly is overused but on the other hand there are many who love the flag and some like to demonstrate it to others.

[@jhonyermo]

@@bigboiganiga8356 overused by ameriKans and brain-wormed MAGA-roids

[@JessiesWellies]

It's beautiful and never overused.

[@PARK-sy3tf]

The symbol of freedom has every right to be overused lmao. Best country in the world, much love from a Canadian immigrant.

[@osheridan]

The USA flag is odd because it's very simple and recognisable, but also extremely difficult to draw right

[@meowmeowmcpurrington2480]

It's mainly the stars, that's the most difficult part to draw.

[@MonkeMountain]

Said every kindergartner trying to draw the flag for flag day

[@loganleroy8622]

@@meowmeowmcpurrington2480 The biggest problem is they need to be white stars, so you can't just draw a normal star shape with cross-crossing lines and then color the stars in. Then if you can get that right, the configuration of the stars is hard to get to line up in the alternating rows and columns.

[@benthomason3307]

yeah but when half of europe's flags are just pallet swaps of the same three tricolor or bicolor patterns, it's at least distinct. I can never tell when I'm looking at Russia's Luxemborg's, or the Netherlands' flag

[@jordinagel1184]

@@benthomason3307with Russia at least you can remember that white is on top. Luxembourg and the Netherlands, though, they’re basically the same; I mean, how many people are gonna remember that the blue in one is a single shade lighter without them being juxtaposed? It’s nuts

[@TheVioletMagic29]

I love how your show has developed over time. I hope perhaps you can add to the earlier episodes one day like my country Australia.

[@JereyStonearm]

THIS! Revamp the old video's!!

[@Sam-pv7bd]

I hope he doesn’t redo any episodes. Because he will have to redo every episode multiple times whenever something significant happens

[@antontait4515]

@@Sam-pv7bdnot necessarily. Just change it to be more up to date of quality that he has now. Honestly, the amount of his videos that need a revamp aren’t too many imo. But like, it could be a way for him to continue the channel in a different direction after finishing this series.

[@sprodersprack4257]

@@antontait4515 even so, it's more that he has to remove some segments and add the new segments and he's good to go. Possibly even including his fans in the videos.

[@Vemberwost]

As an Austrian, I wholeheartedly agree! 😄 I'd love to see the early countries with more information and better production value, it'd be great!

[@christinashelby6083]

I guess my handwriting isn't all that great--I crocheted those things, not knitted! I'm so glad you liked Little Liechtenstein! It was fun to make. I LOVED this episode--your mom is hilarious. Who is parenting whom nowadays??

[@lamayassine5402]

its so cute!!!!

[@christinashelby6083]

Thanks!

[@Invinoveritas85]

Actually I am personally pretty content that the videos are longer, it is a pity that this was not the case in the beginning as there a few countries which could have their food, sports, culture, music, etc. segments as well. But hey, we all improve each day so big up for the great work!

[@saagisharon8595]

Hopefully, after a party episode following the last country of the alphabet, he'll start all over with updates and make the older episodes a bit more entertaining

[@krisburgess7757]

I rewatched the Afghanistan video the other day and OMG how much you’ve grown! Your videos are longer because your content is greater and it’s just the way it is. I cried in the beginning after the intro when you showed your mom. What a beautiful way to open our country’s video. And it was just long enough. People are rude. Why can’t they just watch a video and appreciate it or live on? Rude.

[@antons5302]

The longer videos are GREAT! Impossible to satisfy eveybody but I'm sure most long-time viewers appreciate more content

Small correction: the us’s Jewish population isn’t greater than Israel’s entire population, but rather bigger than Israel’s *Jewish* population

That's not accurate either, but it's pretty close.

Not to mention Barb uploaded it on the 4th of July. It was the independence day of the USA!

[@momrazuddin381]

they should do a sub series just about USA

[@Ekollie]

I’ve been watching your videos for years and I’ve noticed and appreciate just how much more in-depth they’ve become. Generally speaking, I find that an organized video with clearly defined segments makes skipping around a viable way to still enjoy in small bits an otherwise long video. Perhaps reminding the viewer that they *have* the option to skip through without missing anything crucial to enjoying the video would reduce the complaining about its length (it also subtly hints that how they feel about a long video is *their* problem and not yours).

[@emmanuelroyhipe8181]

I expected that red in US Flag stand for "blood to those who fight for freedom".

[@wheeliebeast7679]

[@quentinpedersen]

I think it's better to have long videos, because then there is more interesting stuff to learn and I can spend more time watching them :)

[@idealironyify]

Thanks for including your mum in the video! She is a STAR!

[@ShakoTheCanadian]

For whats its worth, ive been watching every episode from Canada and the development has been great, I like the way its going! I will be so sad when this series ends.

[@dinolil1474]

I love the longer episodes! They offer a really fascinating insight into different countries, and the US episode was really well done; Admittedly, I didn't think I'd learn anything new, but I stand corrected

[@Vissaius]

Just for the record I love the longer videos! I'm okay with each video being 1 hour or more.

[@grigorisstylos1805]

I love the fact that the videos are now longer than they used to be. My suggestion is that you should revisit some of the older episodes and add some sections and interesting facts, if you want to do justice ... Keep up the good work 💪

[@TheBlueKnight5]

I don't care if the video is long, I love geograohy and the history of the country!

[@bryanmcgowan8449]

Dude, your videos could NEVER be too long. They are great just the way they are. Screw anyone thinking these vids are too lengthy.... The fun insight you bring to all the subjects you cover in each episode is not found elsewhere. The way you go about covering things is done in SUCH a captivating and respectful way.

Barbs, I'm happy the videos are longer. When I saw the USA video was over an hour long, I was so happy. I don't know if you have heard this suggestion before, but i think it would be a really good idea if you went back and added the extra topics you added to later countries to the earlier countries. Thanks for running a great channel. I've learned so much.

Barb I enjoyed the longer videos. Been around since the beginning of this channel

[@kiarashkeshvari2164]

Longer videos are a treat I like the dedicated segments gives it a more rounded feel

[@bh3779]

i love the longer videos! I feel like country videos are a repository of all the info you need about a country, and including every aspect of a country is very crucial for the video to not be a narrated factsheet. I would just spent just a little less time sports/music/dance because I want to know more about the day to day life, culture and most importantly the brief geographical/historic/cultural information about the major cities in that country! From your videos we get a good idea about the country as a whole, and from provincial videos we get to know about the provinces, but most people don't know what the difference is between major cities in the country. For a foreigner, Las Vegas and New York city may seem the same because they're flashy, or they could know absolutely nothing about what the difference between Mumbai and Delhi is, or have no idea about the history of European cities...

The USA-your home country as well as mine deserves a long episode. It was done well and always things to include like so on flag fan day Friday.
