  • In today's video, my challenge is to guess the famous landmark while looking the other direction. This will test both my Geoguessr and geographical knowledge, as I'll have to work out both the country and what the famous place is likely to be.

    As a German, I immediately realised it was Berlin, but to be fair the Brandenburg Gate and the whole district are modelled after Paris, since the late 18th century/early 19th century Prussian kings were big fans of French culture and felt Berlin had to look more majestic for Prussia to be able to compete with the other big powers and their Viennas, Parises and Londons. On that note, it's also funny that you would mention Bucharest, which of course also took after Paris and is sometimes called "Paris of the East".

    The star wars set in Tunisia is a crazy one for me. I was there more than 10 years ago and I immediately recognised it even if it's not such a famous location. I think the salt in the sand which makes it have these white areas mixed with more yellow ones is pretty unique to that part of Sahara. It's this area that's famous for mirages because from the distance it looks like water in evenings because of how the salt reflects the sun. I might be talking out of my butt and it could be super common in desserts.

      All people have rather similar (similarly bad) peripheral vision - unless someone has an actual defect, like „tubular vision”. Those who can scan well know had bad our peripheral vision is, and purposefully move their point of fixation around the scan area. Those who are bad at it, simply assume that they’ve seen everything on their screen already, while in fact they only saw the centre properly.
