Well, he explained it in a video once. I think he said the end theme song was composed by Ken...? I don't know, but it was either Ken or someone else. But then again, maybe it wasn't him. For some reason, I'm thinking of a name that starts with "K". Keith does play bass, but I don't think it was him. But anyway, Barbs said it was composed by his roommate. (or at least, i think it was his roommate... He played the ukulele and whistled a melody over it, and that became the ending theme! :D I don't remember exactly who it was, but that's one cool thing about this channel. So many channels just use royalty free stock music for their intros and outros and whatever, so it's a breath of fresh air to see the people of this channel compose songs for it and be original! ^-^

Because the Morroco episode is coming up I'd like to bring up something you missed in the Algeria episode and that is the fact that you said morrocans and Algerians don't get along which is false we're like brothers sharing the same history, language and culture it's just the government who has issues with each other. The people love each other (same goes for Tunisia). And I'd like you talk a bit more about the berber/amazigh population in North Africa seeing as it's often something many people don't know about and therefore just assumes everyone in North Africa is Arab which is completely not the case.

One Lazy Boi the ones who are trying to storm the fences of Melilla and Ceuta aren't really morrocans for the most part but rather west Africans (from countries such as Mali and Niger) who usually travel through Morroco to get to Europe. And btw it's kind of an unnecessary fact to point out seeing as it isn't really related to my comment nor anything that geography now usually talk about in their videos.

I was going to point out his mistake before I saw your comment.

[@brokkrep]

We Germans make often jokes about going to Timbuktu when we are actually going to a place in nowhere. I didnt even know this place exists. Thank you Paul, greetings from you-know-where.

[@frazierk300]

In India we have a song whose lyrics say “My village is Jhumri Talaiya, yours might be Timbuktu”. Jhumri Talaiya is a town in India but I never knew Timbuktu is a real place

[@Repent2024-vp9sj]

Of course it exists, that's why people were saying it lol.

Can't wait till you guys get 5o Zimbabwe. It's an amazing place with wonderfull peoples, if i don't say so myself. Oh, and the country is shaped like a tea pot with Victoria Falls -one of the 7 wonders of the world- located at the spout. It just north of South Africa and boarders Botwana, Zambia, Mozambique and Namibia. That last one I learnt thanks to you guys. Great series you bloody legends.
