Blind guess on first one: I will give this one 5 stars

A Climbing lane is usually another lane that opens up on a hill so cars can pass slower trucks.

Japanese kanji are borrowed from China, a lot of them look the same. China does not have katakana and hiragana thou, so only when you see thous you know the language. It's no surprise that you get them confused NL

[@Dragoniar39]

And I believe both katakana and hiragana are derived from chinese characters, while hangul was constructed by one person and isn't even influenced by chinese

[@OfficialPikadex]

The best way to distinguish between Japanese and Chinese without knowing one of the languages is probably the presence of Hiragana and Katakana. They tend to be pretty simple characters and are only used in Japanese, though you'd need practice to reliably recognize them over Kanji (which are often taken from Chinese and thus tend to look similar).

I stayed like a block down the street from that HK guess. Recognized it was the island immediately.

If you don't have enough to do while visiting Iceland, you are doing to wrong :P So many amazing sights and nature walks to be had. Just driving in Iceland is amazing and fun if you rent a 4x4 :-)

9:56 litterally means "anger" in danish.

[@leyaro99]

It means 'peace' in Dutch. 😄

[@lifeproofminds]

I wrote that word in google translate to hear the pronunciation. Don't get me wrong, but it sounds so amusing to me haha, a classic "potato in the mouth" sound.

[@sweetwheatsy]

@@lifeproofminds Oh absolutely, hah

[@sweetwheatsy]

Hmm, for once I felt slightly stumped; how were you able to so easily tell it was Hong Kong instead of a busy street in the largest city (Taipei City) in Taiwan? Any specific indicators? I know it really looked like NY City, but that could also have been aforementioned, perhaps

[@gwaptiva]

For me it was the "too much English for Taipei" at first, before all the "of Hong Kong" names

[@badams52]

He was guessing at first, then he saw the "#hkifcmall" on the bus which gave away that it was in fact Hong Kong. But having that amount of English is a good sign that it's Hong Kong instead of Taipei.

[@nikkob1252]

For me it's easy because Taiwan drives on the right and Hong Kong on the left

[@badams52]

@@nikkob1252 driving on right v left is very helpful when you are not perusing one way streets.

[@sweetwheatsy]

Nice, all very good indicators. Thanks

You're able to visit north Korea with a tour guide

[@killersquad670]

Aye, but you are straight up supporting everything that is happening there right now by going on one so it's not the greatest of business ventures.

Oh boy. It's Brazil again. I'm impressed Enelle chose the correct country for once. Has he finally learned the difference between Portuguese and Spanish? Edit: There were multiple signs that indicated the state, but I do not expect a foreigner to notice it.

[@positronnn7300]

Ooooooh hello comment section.

[@FaylunaRaRa]

NL doesn't know what an idiom is... An idiom is basically like a phrase where the meaning is completely different than what the phrase would suggest... So like, saying "you look like you are up a creek" is an idiom for saying "you look like you are in trouble"... What NL described about no publicity being bad publicity is more of a saying... And also it has kinda been proven to work in some cases like with GTA where they intentionally tried to get the bad publicity to get people talking about it and these days it's like one of the biggest video games out there... Like if Bill Cosby didn't get arrested and managed to get a TV show again then people would totally watch it after all the stuff that happened... The publicity wouldn't have been bad for Cosby if he was continuing his career, but the bigger issue with that for him is that he was being arrested pretty much for the remainder of his life basically (and also by this point I'm pretty sure he was basically in retirement anyway...)

[@nik_narcotic]

Japanese kanji are literally Chinese symbols though aren't they? If you know how to look for hiragana and especially katakana it's easy to distinguish though.

[@kurrpurr]

I think Sinvicta might have trouble visiting North Korea unless the US has recinded it’s travel ban, but you can totally just go there? Whenever? Like it’s not actually that hard to travel there at all

[@JulioRodriguez-bu9vl]

Can we talk about how Geoguessr's 'free' aspect of the site has been absolutely ruined? I refuse to use the site now.

[@lusamio2378]

Yeah it was ruined for me as well. Its a great game, but im not letting them scum me into buying their premium

[@TheBilaras97]

to be fair it probably takes time to develop like other games and people expect it to be free,yea it is using googles maps but shouldn't we pay them for their time?

[@JamesV1]

@@TheBilaras97 People only want stuff for free.

[@JulioRodriguez-bu9vl]

@@TheBilaras97 My operating system is free and I'm almost certain it took much longer to develop than a game that uses an already existing Google API to utilize how it works. I understand them wanting to be paid for their work, and that's acceptable, but the site functioned for 2+ years perfectly fine via Ads, just a little curious as to why the switch occurred so late into the lifespan of the site itself.

[@TheBilaras97]

@@JulioRodriguez-bu9vl maybe because they barely made any money and it wasnt worth the time any more or maybe not idk .What i am saying is people are fine paying for way worse games that took less time to develop and bitch about gg not being free
