Which means this is gonna have to be a filler week. Today's episode is gonna be one that was requested the countries of South America

Explained okay

we're not gonna talk about political issues in this episode because although government does play kind of like a big role in their portrayal to

The world stage governments tend to fluctuate and they don't necessarily stand for all the stuff

You need to know about a country and as usual when I make videos like this

I like to have natives in the video with me to help out

So without further ado you remember them the two people from the Colombia and Ecuador episode Cindy and Diego

Are you guys ready to make your country's proud are you are you ready to critique the other countries and possibly get criticized?

First country I'm Tina now a lot of Latin American countries have their opinions on Argentina

I heard a joke from an Argentinean wines

They said all the Latin American countries hate Argentina because Argentinians think they're better than everybody but then Argentina

Responds by saying well, we are so what's your point? No, but in all seriousness

Argentinians are really cool. Nice. Sweet people just they're kind of uh,

They're very proud of their country Argentinians tend to be way more

Connected to their European roots as opposed to the other countries over half. The population is either Italian or has roots from Italy

You're also more likely to see blond-haired blue-eyed people

Of course, they are known for their passionate tango steps mate' and yeah, really cool people just be careful about talking about this

All right, Cindy Diego. What are you gonna say about Argentina? They have the best barbecue like ever

The CD is beautiful. Thank you CDs is just amazing

Okay, so do can you do an Argentinian accent? I'll try. Hey guys. Don't judge me, please. I'll try my best

Chanakya, I think I said let him Dina

Yeah

Surely should be that I got Sheena. There's a shit sounds Oh Livia now, this is a unique one

I've actually been here Bolivia is kind of known for being like the indigenous one

They have the highest percentage of their population being Amerindian in descent mostly being I'm Mata or Quechua

They're kind of like the mysterious

Mountain that dressed differently at family reunions many of the women still wear the traditional dresses and the bowler hats and

Wrestle seriously, you gotta see truly to wrestling if you ever go to La Paz. It's like the coolest thing ever

La Paz is disputed ly the highest capital city in the world

If you go there you're gonna like run out of breath because the altitude is so high. Keep in mind though

Bolivia also has parts of the Amazon rainforest

And they also have a desert in the Atacama

If you go to the rainforest though, you can pass through the youngest road the world's most dangerous road

Sometimes it's only 3 meters wide you could die. So fun. They're kind of known for having a government

That's like really kind of anti outside influence, you know, all the McDonald's were banned there

Although they do have KFC and subway and Starbucks

Oh and because it is the lowest GDP per capita country in all of South America. The exchange rate is

Amazing not even joking. You can buy like a whole meal for 80 cents

I bought an entire like army sack of souvenirs for like 20 people. I ended up spending only like $80

Anyway, Bolivia cool place. Check it out guys. What do you think about Bolivia?

Yeah

Believe people have made their pretty cooler so down to earth brah. See you

I feel like I don't even really have to say too much about this but you guys all know Brazil. It's the big guy

It's the largest country the largest population the largest economy in all of South America South America could not function without Brazil now

there's really no one way to summarize all of Brazil because all the regions and states are so completely different so many different types of

People but overall it's kind of like the dad of South America like it plays such a key thicker role and it speaks Portuguese

Brazilian junk people Nadia says Spanish is like a choppier version of Portuguese. But without the ship ship and Oh,

Sounds country super diverse. You have white black Asian

they have the highest Japanese population outside of Japan and it's interesting though because it doesn't matter who you are like at the core of

Their hearts they're Brazilian first

I mean Brazilians they know how to get down to it and work really hard if they have to but I mean when you're surrounded

By so much natural beauty. It's really hard not to relinquish the Samba from your soul

That's kind of Brazil, you know, Brazil what comes to mind?

Other people they're super cool like you just want to party with him

What are you how much Portuguese can you guys understand when they speak it?

I mean, I would say I will get like 20% 30% 20 30 40, maybe even 40

It's Spanish with an accent. Yeah. It depends analyst of the pens the region goes fertile. Is that happen heavier accents

how Paulo not so much

I gotta look this up Chile. This one's interesting because geographically speaking they are pretty isolated from the rest of the continent

It's like the only country in the world where you cannot do a horizontal landscape layout of the nation's image

Chileans are kind of like the bougie stoic Ralph Waldo Emerson

Writers who drink wine they have like the best wine in the entire continent

It's been known that they are probably the fastest talkers in all of South America and they have a weird accent

They have a ton of weird words. Some of you guys have said that you can understand Portuguese better than you can understand Chileans

That's how thick their accent is and it's interesting because they're kind of like the only country that really has to deal with intense

Earthquakes they are right on the Pacific Rim and they get a lot of penguins but overall

Yeah, it's like they're kind of like the slightly rich uncle with a pipe in his hand

But you just can't understand what he's saying. Chewy what comes to mind for Lowell Lewis

And they're famous for their festival that they have a venue than mine, yeah

Can you do a Chilean accent palatable?

Sorry guys, that's that sounds so stereotypical. My bad is there such a thing as poorly are in Chile

I don't know like to make a boyfriend or girlfriend like a verb

And now

Diego's time to shine Cindy you're gonna have to sit this one out for a little bit

All right, South America was a family. How would Colombia fit into it?

They said we're the troublemakers, but Lenny cleared party-wise. Yes. We are the troublemakers party-wise party

Yeah, first of all, we're a country that you know

We don't give up like against or like with adversity like facing adversity. You got a lot of yeah

We've gone through a lot. It's interesting. You guys are kind of like the twin of Venezuela, right? You're like very similar, right? Yeah

It's funny. Cuz we like we have this like love and hate relationship. Yeah in the 80s and 90s

Colombians were going to Venezuela. Yeah, they were running away now

It's the opposite Venezuelans are coming into Coulomb. You know, you're right

There is like a unity between you guys no matter what happens exactly

You're always gonna be there for each other in Colombia has taken the most

Venezuelans out of any other country in the world young persons that you know, it surpassed like y'all the million

There's a lot of great food great music

Beautiful girls beautiful women and by the way, guys, we have the original rapist

Venezuelans are gonna argue about yeah so many musicians and artists, right? Yeah

For example, Jay bother you he's been killing it off

You know Shakira horn is everybody knows Shakira and Elise goes on and on

I don't know if it's weird to you guys were like we love to do like cheese queso Quahog is a campesino like into hot

Chocolate and it melts. It's the best thing ever. Alright. Well Cindy, what is it Ecuadorians perspective on Colombian?

Yeah, the chocolate actually was pretty good. I can't I can say that I really liked it and they're pretty cool people. I mean

They're pretty awesome and it's interesting to note that also these countries as well as Venezuela and Panama weren't one country at one point

Ron Colombia

so you're gonna see a lot of

Similarities and you know cultural traits that kind of tie in with each other within all four of those

Countries may be less Panama though because they're kind of a little separated Colombia Venezuela Ecuador. I call it the echo of a

Alliance and now Ecuador, which means Diego you gotta get out of here

Alright Cindy if the South America was like a family how would the Ecuador play into the mix? I don't know

I'm a quitter is very chill. We're very nerdy

We do love education and like all our schools are bilingual like everything is focused in education

We are a very friendly country. We don't like to fight very agricultural kind of like the

Sidekick best friend. I will say totally that. Yes, the second language was official

Um the cat to our language was in 2010. They made it a matter of fishel country

but yeah, now a lot of schools are actually teaching Quechua and the

Darwin Center is actually in the Galapagos. So it's a lot of research. She's a lot of you know a lot of science you see

Okay, sir. Cuenca is a very

Colonial place. It has become like the number one retirement place in South America

Well, uh Diego from a Colombian perspective. What do you guys think of Ecuadorian Chile? You know, we've never had a problem with them

No, they're kind of like the nerdy brother, you know who like never messes, you know you all right guys

Uh, what do you think about the Guyana as in Guiana and CERN em?

Basically these three are like the quiet kids down the hall at school that you didn't even know went to your school and like you

Meet them for the first time at graduation now for a Guyana Suriname and French Guiana

I'm just gonna kind of do them all at once cuz these three just kind of generally go together

Diana speaks English sir. Damn speaks Dutch

Although English is very prevalent there as well in French speaking French Guiana is an overseas region of France

Which is why some people kind of use it as like a backdoor entrance into the EU otherwise, yeah

Guyana and Suriname are also very similar. They're the only two countries in South America that drive on the left side of the road

They both have huge Indian

Populations people that are descended from the indentured servants that were brought over during colonial times

This in turn makes them some of the countries with the highest Hindu populations per capita

You can see Hindu shrines and Hindu temples all over basically in a nutshell

it's kind of like a place where a ton of different people from all over the world were dumped into one spot and had to

Kind of figure out what to do these three areas generally identify as Caribbean in their culture and identity rather than a South American

I talk to my French friend William who was born here Tom Donohue potential in Oakland is a YouTube Belle doc seven

Yeah, we're buddies. He was actually supposed to be in my France episode but you know life stuff happened and he couldn't make it

Oh, yeah, we still keep in contact

anyway

Doc seven wanted me to tell you French Guiana was started out as a prison colony where some of the worst criminals in France were

Sent similar to what the British did to Australia it's super diverse

They have whites blacks Creoles native Indian tribes surprisingly a lot of Hmong people that were brought over after allow had a big war

They're famous for their Space Center the shootable tam

He actually made quite a few videos explaining about this place most of his videos in French

But some of them do have English subtitles, though

So if you don't understand French just turn on the subtitles Paraguay Paraguay is kind of like the middle black sheep

Daughter that doesn't get a lot of attention putter body has two official languages Spanish and the indigenous guaraní language

and it's interesting because more people actually

Understand what I need then Spanish here

If you go outside of the cities into like rural areas

You might even have trouble communicating because the people just don't speak Spanish culturally

They are kind of like more rural and rustic you're known for being good horse riders. They love drinking today

They love playing that bouncy guy Lopez and Wadena is country music and finally the women are famous for doing the danza de la botella

Or the bottle dance, it looks really cool

Like they balanced bottles or jars on their head and sometimes they stack them up like ten I pretty cool very underrated

I say go visit. Alright guys. So what comes to mind when you think of park ride if I'm not mistaken?

They're pretty good like Lorde playing harp harps. Yeah

What kind of comes to mind when you like me or like see Park white people on TV or what do you think

Peru Peru is kind of like the big brother who took a risk played his cards right in business and marketing and

Exploited the crap out of all his tourism spots and made a lot of money it worked
