I actually have heard of this country before. Back in 2007, while using the Wii Forecast Channel and listening to the beautiful music, I noticed several points over the Pacific, those being the Oceanic nations, including Vanuatu. I learned the capital was Port Vila there. I went on Wikipedia and looked up more things, like the Oceanic regions and flags. Also, this was on a season of Survivor that I never watched. The Oceanic nations fascinate me because people don't talk about them unless it's about WWII.

However, when someone comments:” I am Hawaiian, I really love your country”, no one will shout and say :”you mean the American which live in islands that belongs to USA?” So you guys trying to correct a peaceful and non-political comment maybe just make things more skeptical.

Not only have I heard of Vanuatu, my aunt and uncle used to live there. While they were there, there was a massive typhoon (I think in the 80s or 90s) and their house was destroyed around them. They survived by huddling in a small cupboard, which was the only bit of the house left still standing. Very dramatic.

Including Norfolk Island in Melanesia is a strange one. The island was uninhabited at the time of British settlement but appears to have been inhabited at some point before then by Polynesians.

I'm not sure if anyone is gonna see this but kinda still wanna post it here. It was in 2010 at Shanghai's World Expo. Me, an elementary schooler, and my mom were wandering around at the "Pacific Countries United Pavillion", and we bumped into the Vanuatu section in the very corner. It was a small place with only some pictures of the country and very few visitors, compared to some larger sections with fancy animal specimen. And only two staffs were there, one Vanuatuan and one Chinese assistant. They saw us walking into their section, and passionately handed a bag of gifts to me. I expressed my gratitude, but I didn't stay in that section or even talk to them. However, when I returned home, I discovered with surprise that there were a full set of fish postal stamps, a banner of their national flag, and a little book introducing their country. I felt guilty for not even talking to them, listening to their intro, or maybe just exhibit more curiosity. I started learning by myself more about the country, and have always wanted to visit the country. I just want to let the Vanuatuan girl at Shanghai Expo 2010 know that she has spread very positive image into a Chinese boy's heart, and let anyone from Vanuatu know that you have a friend who's passionate about your country in China. Thank you!

I totally agree with your intro. I made a comment in your community section yesterday about not knowing about it and the weirdos on the internet found a way to be offended over the slightest thing as usual. I literally said ''no shade'' but that didn't stop them.

0:50 I know its flag immediately by heart, its name by heart, its next door to New Caledonia and the Solomon Islands, and is sometimes considered to have one of the more hostile attitudes toward people coming to visit/vacation there of the Pacific/Polynesian island chains, for which I've never cared about myself and been somewhat hesitant to believe. I don't know why, but I've always been drawn to Vanuatu throughout my adult life. Maybe its because they're so unknown by even many geography nerds. Their flag is one of my own personal favorites. I genuinely do not see much if any differences between Polynesian and Melanesian peoples and cultures, so to me, they're all just Polynesian, plus poly meaning more than one/multiple further backs that choice up. I had no idea the Hebrides was Vanuatu! See, that's new to me!

I noticed you didn’t explain the meaning of the flag: Vanuatu means- “our land” in Shefa province language. Red- blood Green- the islands Yellow - Christianity Black- skin color Namele leaf- peace Pigs task- customs & traditions The ‘Y’ shape in the middle of the flag- the shape of the islands

Ok, answering the question about what I know about Vanuatu, before watching the video (and without Googling). It is an island nation in the Western Pacific, south of Solomon Islands and west of Fiji. It is comprised of several volcanic islands, including Espiritu Santu and Tanna. Tanna has an active volcano which is a tourist attraction. The capital city is Port Vila, which is a tourist hub and cruise ships dock there. The people are Melanesian. Not sure of the population, but I would guess less than 100,000. I think it was a French colony at one time. One of the traditional activities of Vanuatu people is jumping from a tower with a rope made of vines attached to their ankles. This was adapted by AJ Hackett, a New Zealander, to become bungie jumping. There is a remote village on Vanuatu where the people worship Prince Phillip (as in Queen Elizabeth's husband) as a god. I think another region of Vanuatu does the same regarding Captain Cook and many of the villagers there name their children "Captain Cook". How did I go?

The only thing I know about Vanuatu before watching this video is that they exist, they are part of Oceania, how their flag looks and the fact that their national football team is probably the best in Oceania if we exclude Australia and New Zealand so it's great that Barbs exists :D

In Port Vila, there's also one of the University of South Pacific campuses, an interesting intergovernmental institution.

I've been to Vanuatu 🇻🇺. I arrived the day after an eruption and port Villa was covered in black powder! The currency at the time was coloured beads you wore around your neck. I saw most of the island and some neighbouring also.
