The world's #1 or #2 least visited country. LOTS of mystery to solve. Our last "T" country, and last Polynesian country (one more for Oceania though!). Also Thanks KERI - she is officially the RAREST person we've ever had as a guest host the show (only about 13,000 Tuvaluans in the world). THIS is an episode you don't want to miss. ENJOY!

I’ve always had this fascination with these tiny island nations in Oceania ever since I visited Hawaii. Hawaii is cool, but I don’t think you really get the authentic island experience when everything is so tourist-y. Now enter these tiny island nations that go completely unknown by most of the rest of the world; there’s pristine beaches, coral reefs, islands to explore, and rich culture somewhere here, the only issue is well… trying to get there in the first place.
@mygetawayart Жыл бұрын
and there are plenty of islands (maybe not Tuvalu though) that have a much better balance of touristy and authentic than Hawaii, where you can enjoy your luxury beach cabins and pay with credit cards but also be extremely close to the traditional islander lifestyle

@mate Yes, it should- because it's a US state. As much as Oklahoma, Utah, Texas, or North Dakota. You say " Americanized " as if it's bad ( it isn't ), and as if it's a country- which it isn't. A US State. Also funny you mock tourism, given that whole nations depend on it for their economy. Or that it stops you from having the " authentic island experience ", which for some IS tourism. There's always...Guam, I suppose, if you want somewhere more rustic

34 Now, after the pyramid top, where I was standing, comes the Capstone and the Capstone is the Seventh dimension! And on the other side, it was in this seventh dimension that the constellation of all the celestial beings stood above the waters, this was the Capstone that had come down there on the pyramid top, above the waters, while I was standing there on sand of the sea, on the pyramid top. And this corruptible body could not get into the Capstone, as the body of William Branham could not get into the constellation of the seven Angels when he was receiving the seven seals. As also the body of Moses could at no time get into the seventh dimension when he was receiving the tables of the law. Who I am then, I, Prophet Kacou Philippe? Have all these great messengers who came before me built the pyramid, age after age, for me to come and stand on it? Who is this one who has received a so great grace? Truly, this one is the celestial door of the pyramid of ages whose bases are the waters. But it is humbly by the underground door the mankind will meet me and will meet Salvation.

No wonder you call people like Carrie, Terry from the Solomon Islands, and Malika from Turkmenistan "unicorns".

29:45 They do deserve longer episodes, dude. No but seriously, I understand that for now you only focus on getting to Zimbabwe. And I am all for it, there are some really known and interesting countries coming, like Zimbabwe itself, all "United" countries (UAE, UK, USA), Venezuela, Yemen, Uruguay, and I personally already can't wait for my birth country Ukraine (only one more episode left before it, yoo-hoo!) That being said, I do hope that in some 8795 years, after you make videos about all UN countries and all UN observers and unrecognized countries, you will find the time, resources and, most importantly, the desire to redo at least the A and B countries into current format. Regardless, that was a great episode)) Really amazes me how such a small country with barely any land has so much going for them)
