Hey Jogger freaks great news, so I thought this video was gone forever because I accidentally deleted it
But [jogger] [Peak] mark soon recovered it so without further ado here's researching eretria
Hey Jagger, phoebe's welcome back to Round 2 of the research Journey
So when I made the last video apparently a lot of you guys even over
500 of you guys emailed me requesting to give information about your countries, [and] oh my gosh
I'm just looking at my email right now look at this
We got people from Serbia Estonia philippines and new zealand even one guy from Tibet look over here
Where was it to bet he emailed me? And he's like hey, I could help you with to bed guys
I really appreciate all of the emails, but I I can't go through 500 of them. That's crazy
[I] didn't even realize a lot of you guys would email me after I made that [video]
But I will eventually save all your emails in the side brackets
And then I may or may not respond to some of you guys
I'll try to respond to as [many] as I can but there's so many of you guys, but thank you
Thank [you] for wanting [to] help out with the videos so anyway today's episode is on eritrea
So I know a few things [about] eritrea funny because we actually have an ethiopian Eritrean community here in Los [Angeles]
It's in the Fairfax district. They got great restaurants
I actually took my interns there when they visited here
But what I do know is that their [their] similar culture wise to?
Ethiopians like I think they kind of speak similar languages, not exactly the same but kind of similar
I know that they were taken over by the italians [um] and I know that they had a big war with, Ethiopia
And I know that they bordered the red sea, and that's about it. So um let's go and explore
Eritrea together shall We and by together I mean just me as you guys watch
Fascinating so I'm going to check my emails from you eritrean geographies so as you can see here on the sidebar
Here's the eritrea tab. I'm just clicking on it and as you can see over here. Let's see
How many I got like one two three four five six seven eight nine, okay?
So 10 10 of you guys from eritrea watch the showing you like it enough to help me out with the video
So thank you [so] much to all you ten eritrean geographers
Let's read some of [the] stuff [that] you guys wrote so geography person letter a who goes by sem t
wrote A
Big huge list of great things about Ethiopia [even] [got] some pictures here these different styles of coffee pots
Really cool stuff the flag people culture landscape stuff. That's really cool. I'm gonna put a lot of this stuff in the script oh
Retreat you do pretty well with what is it cycling? Oh yes cycling, okay?
I learned that cycling is big out here in eritrea for some reason let's see Jordan Jordan wrote a lot of good stuff here
[I] asked a bunch of questions that was one question
I really asked was what is the biggest difference between
Ethiopians and eretrians and a lot of them said you know honestly there's not that much of a difference
They're pretty similar, but there are a few and most of the biggest ones are just political
I really like how Jordan also sent me this really cool picture of all the ethno demographic regions of eritrea. There's nine of them
That's a really good picture. I'm probably use that in the video
Oh, really
[so] I just found out [um] they actually have mandatory conscription for both males and females everybody has to serve in the national service
Military and so it's one of those
conscription countries, I didn't know that see cool-looking building's logical beaches [ah]
Well, let's see Sammy
Sammy wrote me some good stuff
I asked a lot of [questions] a lot of people in the west kind of refer to eritrea as the North Korea of Africa however
All the eritrean geographers have said that's not exactly completely true going to learn about every tree
Yeah, the country that
People call the North Korea of Africa, but a lot [of] people that have emailed me
Have said it's not a lot of semitic influence
Oh, that's probably the coolest thing about eritrea fascinating the war war war war will independence war and there was the border war
Eretrians man you and Ethiopians. It's not some great stuff. I'm gonna read all [of] the emails great content and then -
Okay, I get it was my manager
From [Studio] 71 he's all like Paul
Are you working but work not you? He was just responding to a text
I sent him earlier without asking him if I should start doing giveaways which by the way
What do you guys think should I start doing giveaways on this channel, and if so?
What would you like me [to] give away question time for you guys right back to eritrea?
I'm going to read the rest of the emails later a lot of good stuff
Totally going in the script you guys are so ah I really appreciate it
You guys are phenomenal love this stuff that you guys are writing me. [thank] [you] eritrean geography. Let's move on time to watch
Videos on YouTube about eritrea got no rhythm okay, so you know what? I'm [just] going to type in eretria
[oh], and what do we got here the very first video is eritrea?
Africa's North Korea [blackout] of course Vice news you would do a video like [that]
I knew you would just for the fun of it
I think I'll kind of watch a little bit of it
But I'm pretty sure [all] you eritrean geographies are just like rolling your eyes like oh come on vice news you really [alright]
So they start off by showing North Korea, okay, Vice news young yeah
That's [totally] vice news it is you can't imagine what it's like being in here in this horrible horrible place
Where were those [people] like hackers? Why are those people wearing masks also? He's like a revolutionary, okay, people do everything behind closed doors
[oh] my gosh, just making everybody. I'm just making the [whole] place look scary, it's oh
Wait, this is just the intro. Oh wait. No. It's not okay wait. So those are eretrians
Wait that hold on let me back up. Let me back up
Where was it [Dara] Tria is the North Korea of Africa, so there's an Eritrean Lady protesting eritrea?
You know I I do commend vice news for getting really
In-depth hardcore controversial stories out in the open and documenting them in phenomenal quality and yes, I'm not
Devaluing the controversy I do acknowledge that it is there but at the same time it's like come on [State] control TV
and Francois hollande of course he would get involved because
France is totally in Eritrea is
About everything that they do seems like a lot of eretrians abroad are documented to be complaining about eritrea
But a lot of the air trains in eritrea are not really complaining that much hmM okay, so that's one side of eritrea
Let's look at another video the next video literally says a visit for eritrea of the African North Korea
See every is everybody just going to call this place with North Korea of Africa seriously
You know what let's [write] [a] look at something that doesn't call eritrea the North Korea of Africa, okay. What do we got here?
What's this [leah] by by [Rue]?
[Garrett] [Di]
Ok it's by [Helana]
Eritrea, [okay], it's a music video
He's an eritrean music video. I've never seen one of these before okay
Whoo all right okay? She's singing she's on a couch. She's having a good time
This is eritrea. This totally exemplifies life in eritrea sitting on couches and digging in [hole] and and
wearing Flashy fashion outfits
So fun such a great life we have here in eritrea. [oh] my gosh is musically it was on for like seven minutes
Okay, I get the point I get the point [it's] lavish, and it's beautiful next [Arabica] and it's eritrea
We'll try to get some like grounded solid facts and not just like
subjective editorial pieces whoa
what is this new Eritrean Comedy 2016 well fuss eritrea by Hobby a
Comedy I guess the aerotrain comedian okay, so it kind of starts off with like you know some nice music Little pond Creek
Oh, he's working. He's working on [that] stick think [about] the most out okay, so apparently you know
I don't understand any of this because it's spoken in the I'm guessing. That's the tigrinya language that guy the bald guy
He looks like he's probably gonna do something really funny really soon. He looks like he's the community he he is okay
You know he's gonna be the spotlight of the show all right [a] lady with a baby walking okay? Who he's spying on them
Oh, he's spying on the lady and the guy and the lady
Yeah, look at her hair. She goes. She's got pretty cool looking hair, okay?
Now the guy is a stroking his beard and talking to the lady again
She looks distraught downcast
And they keep talking to each other and she leaves
And then he's like mad or something, and that's it. That's the end of the video I
Maybe that's eritrean comedy
I don't I don't quite get it um
I guess I had to have understood the language or I don't know maybe it's not funny. I don't know
What was that? [uh] here? We go. There's a great video called Eritrea, Motherland beauty by Super gay bar
Let's see this looks like it could be kind of like a tourism video. I like tourism videos
Hey, I don't know what's going on that a washing machine would San Francisco to eritrea. Oh, it's a guy traveling, okay
That was the baggage
Conveyor belt thing or Trio Africa all right, so we're getting a look at the streets
I'm guessing [asmara] the capital that's probably the capital that's usually where typically everybody starts when they go to eritrea
All right, got some people on the streets kids and the [mal] it's really nice
It's really cool camels people riding [Camp] is it safe to ride a camel [all] the way in the back like that
Oh my gosh, is that how you that's not how I wrote a camel when I was in Saudi, [Arabia]
But then again my camel had a saddle [all] right oh kids jumping off of that building wall think whoa
That is a high jump dang [where] is that that looks pretty cool? It's eritrea
Coastline nice beaches this was actually really well done
I mean the camerawork and the depth of field and [the] lighting and the iso [and] all that other stuff
That's it kudos to you kudos to you super gay bar for making this video

Laptop screens and try to learn stuff. There's no Moral to this video
