Sal I have some bad news, I just created a new country in my house, come visit

[@SalLavallo193]

hahaha on my way!

[@WilliamOunj-ge8th]

If that country is recognized by the UN than I have no problems visiting.

Very informative video, I've never been to the African continent. Fellow KZbinr here, hopefully I can film an episode in Africa one day.

[@SalLavallo193]

god willing! It's my favorite continent to travel to for sure

[@dom_40]

love your positive attitude, sal!

[@SalLavallo193]

thank you :D

[@williamkelly1333]

dude I don't understand why u are not more popular, ur videos are so hype

[@SalLavallo193]

Tell your friends!

[@ShivamSingh-yl7jo]

Your videos feel like therapy session to me. I love the way you speak. Found this channel recently and I am binge watching all the videos 😁

[@SalLavallo193]

I love hearing this! Thank you :D Lots more coming

[@darwinmendoza95]

In my opinion since the African continent is rich in natural resources but lots of poverty, the corporations benefiting from those natural resources will do everything to keep the natives from benefiting from those resources to keep the corporations' profits up and to keep the wages of the natives down.

[@matejhojdar4350]

Great video as always Sal! Really enjoyed listening to this while sipping on my morning coffee here in Luang Prabang watching the Mekong flow by 🙂 have a great day! Looking forward to more videos from this series! Love it!

[@SalLavallo193]

Wow sounds like a paradise!

[@AhmedBayoumy1]

Amazing video as usual. Hard for me to believe that Congo is among the poorest countries. May be because they had one of the most notorious dictators in Africa history. I remember in 1974 Africa Cup of Nations in Egypt (my country), they had a match against the host and Sese Seko called the team over the phone and threaten them if the lose they will be sent home on foot. They won ;)

[@SalLavallo193]

yea it's a massive country with lots of resources but little efficiency

[@WariorKitty]

I can tell from the start that this will be an enjoyable informatics video, even if some of the subject matter is really sad.

[@SalLavallo193]

I hope you'll enjoy it!

[@boochy115]

CAR: the corruption of the diamond industry is horrible.. isn't like 90% of diamonds sold illegally, which means that the government does not see any of that revenue? Sad.

[@SalLavallo193]

it's so disheartening.

[@metalvisionsongcontest7055]

boochy115 I just read today that the people in Botswana are actually benefiting quite a bit from their diamonds. Maybe CAR can learn a thing or two from them? 😉

[@ppacademy2507]

Brother....i guess it is gonna be so much fun if you make the video of that country...how the people live...how they eat...their houses... and explain it all, when you are there.

[@SalLavallo193]

yes exactly

[@AverytheCubanAmerican]

I appreciate one thing about the DR Congo, the Okapi. The Okapi is a fascinating creature

[@SalLavallo193]

hahah true!

[@TheRightTrackPod]

Interesting series Sal. I want to go to Haiti. Really sucks that Haiti rebuilds and then gets battered, and then go through the cycle again

[@SalLavallo193]

It's a horrific cycle - haiti has been unlucky.

Why have you not made a video on your trip to DRC, other than this small mention...?

[@SalLavallo193]

didn't film while there

It seems out of context but god was the Dominican Republic when you visited it? Some people are rude there and I hope you had a great experience there!

[@SalLavallo193]

i really enjoyed it! Stayed a few days up north and then flew out of Santo Domingo

[@Someone-ji2gm]

@@SalLavallo193 Oh thats amazing i'm really happy you had a great time there! I'm from there and some times the media paints it bad

[@Someone-ji2gm]

Why do you have to get generalize a group of people while I said some Dominicans are rude (as a Dominican my self) it’s not all of them it’s a 5% amount that I have met are in the capital which are usually just more higher class people But while I said some people are rude it’s not really the entire country I go to the DR to visit my family in more smaller towns there are some good and bar people I met maybe because you only gone to the resorts or more dense areas you met some bad Dominicans who might come off as bad (mostly because some people have gotten pick pocketed before) sorry you had a overall bad experience with my people because of what ever happened to you in a resort if you ever come back just make sure to not act “rich”

[@number3361]

Sal, have you been to all the countries that aren’t recognised by every country e.g Taiwan or South Ossetia?

[@SalLavallo193]

Not all of them, but many!

yea would love to - think it will be a few years though

[@minihwas]

As an English person, it always confuses me when people don't think the countries of the UK are different countries. They kind of are, but they kind of aren't, it's very confusing, but as an English person I've always seen them as separate. Where are you from?

[@mfvieira89]

@@minihwas when we say "country" we are talking about Independent Nations, and none of the component "countries" of the UK is one, that'd the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland itself. When I talk about Scotland, I'm referring to the possibility of it becoming independent in a near future as a result of they not wanting to leave the EU. If you must know, I'm from Portugal
