Lol took me a while to understand

If only he had an orange jumpsuit lying around to return in.

I was afraid the joke would get old now that he's doing it like the third time, but Tom made it it funnier than before somehow! xD

I dont get it lol anyone care to explain?

@@Legpierna There was a police siren outside his house so he acted like they were looking for him.

He did seem paranoid like he had a reason to believe they were after him.

I thought that was the look of a wanted man!

OH NO 😳

I thought the joke was getting old, but I guess not everyone has seen it. First I remember was just after the police had actually just been in touch with him about the railway crossing in the Scotland mission.

What's the name of the video

The correct term is "Cyrillic"

Poor Mapna

I was so hyped when I saw my city, but then hearing this for the gazillion-th time....

I'm Russian and there are people in Russia who just straight up calling any language with Latin writing system an English, but those are usually people who saw other countries on pictures at best, every time i'm surprised he's still calling Cyrillic languages Russian while obviously knowing about other countries better than average person.

​@@sonyablade3001 I have a question for you - do you understand Bulgarian completely? Because I know Russian somewhat and many times it's hard to determine which one is it. In my mind Bulgarian is Russian but some words sound funny and some words have different endings.

Basically Africa is China's China

@@davidwalker3626 yeah i was actually shocked when i learned of many crimes he committed, thought he was a good guy who was developing China, laying a fundament for its economic boom. The truth is the opposite, he somehow managed to destroy any potential it had during his reign and making the country even less developed, literally trampling it into African level, keeping it a third world country for as long as he could til his death.

@@sonyablade3001 He was worse than Hitler.

Here my innocent arse thought it was tourists....

@@sonyablade3001 who?

I was so proud of getting st lucia right because of the flag, I didn't even see the giant "Bank of Saint Lucia" there

I'm pretty proud that I thought the exact same thing as Tom there thinking that it couldn't be that south

@@luangomes2143 lmao

I mean there was an obvious license plate on that bus, but yea if you’re not into your licence plates it could’ve been harder

@@indiebekonn it says qatar on a sign

upload variety i have been waiting weeks for a video that isnt capital cities...

Unless he makes a fire while camping on someone's land...

Tom will find the location of the policemen before they find him

If you saw which direction he started running in, you're sorted lol

This thread took a turn

Yes but mission videos are larger and so much more packed with original and funny content

I think you should buy a ticket, visit that place and have a haircut or something asap! And it would be nice for us if you share your experience right back here if you don't mind :)

Bulgarian Sofia resident here. I've walked on that street quite a few times in my life and I always find it quite bizzare as well. The owner is absolutely everything else but not Swedish. But yeah, whatever pays the bills I guess.

Trodde fan inte att en swedish barbershop skulle ligga i Sofia

Jävligt märkligt!

@@astragalusson well they're obviously not going to do that are they

Xin chào!

Ni hao!

Same being American

@@S-Nova0 🤣🤣🤣🤣

👊🏾👊🏾👊🏾👊🏾

whats with all the country Rd names? seemed odd

@@daud1543 the African countries have very little locations sometimes; just look at the Chad round from a while ago.

It was frustrating to play too. I was sure it was one of the tiny Asian/pacific nations like Tuvalu or Brunei. Normally I would have went right to Africa, but so many things were pointing towards it being Asia. Asian people in the foreground, Asian person's name on the photosphere, Asian writing on the nearest building.

@@DECODEDVFX Welcome to Neocolonialism! 😂

@@DECODEDVFX but then it was really flat and reasonably built up which ruled out any of the islands. I ended up looking over africa for less developed english-y countries before finding Juba and realising what the sign said

I have fewer than 1 friend in the World. That's right. Everybody disses me for making bad videos. I think they are perfect though. Who is right? My dissers or me? Which side are you on, dear bit

@@AxxLAfriku sad

@S O F I A Hey why are you named after the capital of Bulgaria?

Is that definitely the earliest documenting of Cyrillic? I believe it's been speculated (although never proven) that the Cyrillic alphabet has existed earlier. Considering how closely Cyrillic resembles the Greek alphabet, it would make sense that it did originate in the south of Europe.

@@Razaak666 Yep, it is as far as I know. Cyril and Methodius were born in Thessalonica, in the eastern Roman empire. The eastern Roman empire influenced Bulgaria (and the Balkans in general) in many ways, most famously for the conversion to orthodox christianity. Bulgarian nobles even learned greek. No wonder Cyril and Methodius were influenced by the greek alphabet. Though their creation was the glagolithic alphabet. Then, their disciples, Kliment and Naum further worked on it and developed the early cyrillic alphabet in Bulgaria which had even more similarities with the greek one.

@@Razaak666 Lets put it this way the original Glagolitic script was created by Cyril and Methodius who were sent to Moravia when Rastislav of Moravia requested teachers from the Eastern Roman empire who would be able to educate the moravian priest while using the slavic language. Thats why the brothers created the Glagolitic script. Later on the students of the brothers who were expelled from Moravia reached Bulgaria where they were greeted by Boris I and were put to the task of educating the Bulgarian clergy thus allowing us to conduct the religious ceremonies in our language and not Greek like it was done before. During that time two of the students, Kliment and Naum finalized the first version of the Cyrillic script. The reason the Glagolitic script was replaced was because it was a lot more complicated then the Cyrillic script. And the Cyrillic was adopted by most slavic nations. But it has to be kept in mind that every nation had its own version of the proto slavic language even before the new alphabets were created. TLDR. it looks Greek because it was made by two "Greek" linguists.

Kiril and Metodiy were not Bulgarian 😂

@@danicazavojcevska9618 They are. In fact, Macedonians are also bulgarians, you just won’t admit it. МАКЕДОНИЯ Е БЪЛГАРСКА

It's more nuanced than that, but that's the gist of it. "We determine “areas of interest” [orange/yellow areas] with an algorithmic process that allows us to highlight the areas with the highest concentration of restaurants, bars and shops. In high-density areas like NYC, we use a human touch to make sure we’re showing the most active areas."

I was thinking the same thing!

I'm guessing he thought the compass direction was incorrect so he chose a road that came from a different direction.

I think he meant that he couldn’t be so far North as it was too close to the water, so if he was in that area of the city he needed to be further South, further from the sea

I saw the Colombo signs before Tom too, but I certainly didn't find the street as quickly. I had to scan the map for bloody ages to find that street. Colombo is _not_ a small place.

@@WillemHebbe Sri Lanka has 2 capitals

And Cyrillic in invented in Bulgaria ;)

Orr We can just say it is in Bulgarian. We know its Bulgaria and saying it's in Cyrillic, while correct is like looking at what I just wrote here and saying it's in Latin.

I'm not good at Cyrillic but even I could read Maria.

An HOUR? More like many days. Unless you're on the autism end of the brain spectrum and love code. I've played around learning the Cyrillic letters for quite a while now due to this game, and still don't really remember most of them. Memorization or arbitrary squiggles isn't something I'm good at at all.

@@thewiseturtle Wtf does autism and code have to do with learning an alphabet... It's not even that every person with autism is a linguistic genius or loves coding lol

@@Itza-Me The autistic brain is the one that is hyper detail oriented and focused on code. It's why we have brilliant mathematicians and linguists and programmers and engineers, because they really love studying the detailed patterns of basic systems, especially artificial ones (human made stuff). All kids are great at learning alphabets, at very low levels of consciousness, as the very young brain is very open to everything like a blank slate (with obvious genetic variations), but as adults, some brains love to study such things more intentionally at higher levels of consciousness to make theories about the patterns. Also, note that folks in the autism corner of the multidimensional spectrum of brain types are very common, maybe up to 1/3 of humans. Very few are ever labeled as "having autism" as that tends to feel extreme, as compared to the more normal level of geekiness of those who just like to focus on studying small details in systems (especially artificial ones).

Though if you're just learning the Cyrillic alphabet and not a language, you can only "transliterate" it, not "translate" it. So that reads as "Bul knyaginya Mariya Luiza"-the "princess" part would be totally lost on you. Fortunately there are many words in common with English so you can sometimes guess a few words, and personal names are usually spelled just like they're pronounced.

What was that about? I didn't catch that... Human trafficking, drugs?

@@Tsuma_Vento all of the above

@@Tsuma_Vento crossing a motorway on foot, I think.

Same result here and same two mistakes. *insert Spiderman gif*

I was able to pick it up from the Juba Airport sign but if you don't know capitals I can see that one being difficult

I checked every Asian capital city multiple times because I was convinced it must have been one of them. Might've faired better if the image wasn't so poor quality and I was able to make out more details on the signs.

I saw the juba sign but didnt know where it was. looked all over asia like tom till I saw the african people on the road and realised its in africa somewhere. I clicked in the middle of the continent and got 4k

Sounds similar to me. Perfect score on the last, decent scores for 3 of the others, and then about as far away as possible on round 3!

@@liambuckingham3337 right !! I got so confused by the quite obvious African environment but then a Chinese store on the third round ?? Caught me off guard!

Sounds similar to me. My text would be: my best challenge so far ! 20,250 points for me ! Round 1: circa 4988, Round 2: circa 4998, and then a shamful circa 360 points on round 3..., Round 4: circa 4998, and lastly i ended on a high note with a perfect 5000 on round 5! super pleased with myself ! gotta admit though that I googled the .lk domain (Sri Lanka) which obviously was cheating ...

Yeah, "obvious". For a country that exists like 10 years :) The name of its capital hasn't fully reached the public conscience around the world.

@@MouseTai1 True, but for people doing a lot of geography quizzes etc its obvious - probably not as much for geoguessr players :D

If you turn around from the barber shop there's also a "agency for security and security" (i guess the meaning of the words is more nuanced in Bulgarian) called "VIKING" and a sign on a wall that says "GALERY VIKING". I wonder if this is just a coincidence or if this place has some significance with regard to Sweden.

Rent spontant känns inte ”swedish barbershop” speciellt lockande

@@sopphi Oh that’s right! Hmmm, but still very weird hahahah

@@toffe9914 Njae håller med, vi är ju inte direkt känna för det… hahhaah

I reckon a Turkish barber shop in Bulgaria doesn't carry the same mystique as it does elsewhere in Europe. Bit like opening an English pub in Ireland!

You have to be lucky or cheating to get 25k on this one because of the Juba one not being labeled correctly on the map

@@suhasdara3040 It's labelled close enough that you get a perfect score if you guess correctly. Tom was one block too far to the south.

Yeah, it's my first time beating him as well. Good job!

My first time as well. 15 minutes total with about half of that being Sofia.

ok power.

Not really copied. It was meant to be an alphabet for slavs all around eastern Europe. It's just that Russia is more known to foreigners and so they think "russian" when they see cyrillic letters.

Saints Cyril and Methodius were slavs from Macedonia.

@@rnabo031 Slavic Macedonia didn't exist back then. The region was under byzantine rule, then bulgarian with periods where it was conquered and reconquered. For some time, Ohrid was the capital of the Bulgarian Kingdom. Besides, Cyril and Methodius were born in Thessalonica in the Byzantine Empire.

@@hex_6590 yes but no there are multiple occasions where Russia acted or thought that they created the alphabet

Likewise - I remember seeing a Swedish barber before (and thinking it weird). Yes, probably with GeoPeter.

I remember seeing it too, and I don't watch GeoPeter, so it had to be Tom.

I was looking for this comment. I knew I had seen that swedish barber shop before!

you beat me by just 20 pts! congrats on beating Tom, although he definitely seemed a bit off his game today! Round two is what got me as well. Just couldn't locate the right part of town, and even placed my point at a "Gate Mall" which i thought referred to the archway. ah well, great game!

Definitely a joke, he did it in a previous video too lol

If you need to explain the joke, then it's way less funny. But I guess, Poe's law, go strong.
