CONTACT US if you are from a country that is coming up! Teach us! Email: GeographyLater@gmail.com
Stay cool Stay tuned and remember, this is Earth, your home. Learn about it.
No way, U-ganda be kidding me, #Uganda is up? Well "U" will have to ride a "GANDA-la" here once you see how cool Uganda is, and soon "U" will be "Gone"- duh"! Okay but for real. This episode was so fun. We LITERALLY shot it on Christmas morning and had a nice lunch with my mom afterwards. Lol. Thanks to all the Ugandans that helped with this episode and Enjoy this episode ESPECIALLY Kimi and Pihon, our guest hosts!
ENJOY THE PEARL OF #AFRICA!
Uganda will be most densely populated country soon
First reply.
stay tuned, Ukraine is coming up next, *uncomfortable russian noises*
31:37 the pause you did when announcing Ukraine as the next episode 😭
very funny
It was a blast filming this Paul, thanks for having us!! And thank you for representing Uganda so well. 🙏🏾🔥🇺🇬
🇺🇬
You were awesome!
Really love the flavor that you added to this episode
Kimi! I cant believe it was actually you! Ive been following you for a while now, so keep making good content
hi
I wish the old episodes can be redone in same format as this😁
I hope so! They still have to get to my beloved Zimbabwe first
Yeah, the A episodes are in desperate need of an update.
China
The new Afghanistan would be interesting..
Well I was wishing a movie about the whole series after publishing every episode. (same comment said in the Tuvalu episode)
31:36 The fact that Barbie sighed before saying that Ukraine was the next episode shows that he knows it will already be out of date by the time it comes out.
Not only outdated but it will also attract hordes of Russian shills
He's also very concerned about diplomacy, just watch the Israel episode to see what I mean
Because Barbie knows that he must cover this episode during difficult current events. It has been a year later and the timing still couldn't be anymore.... yeah. :/ But Barbie and his team had covered war-torn countries and countries that were hit with the latest tragedies before. I'm sure they'll be able to pull this episode off in a delicate matter and still provide the same GN atmosphere!
And how CZcams will demonetization it or pro Russian bots pile in the video.
True. I've rewatched some episodes that are years old and they are still pretty accurate, but no matter what happens Ukraine is going to be obsolete soon after it coming out.
I am from Ukraine, currently living as refugee in Switzerland and I cross my fingers for the next episode to be as impartial and transparent as possible. Otherwise I can already imagine how the commnent section will turn into a total mess.
I hope it won't,
_currently_
Kinda hard to be impartial when Russia is without question in the wrong when it comes to that situation.
@@Sparx632 Indeed.
I have complete faith in Barbs. He managed Israel without causing another war in the comments; he'll do Ukraine justice ❤
As a Malaysian, I have discovered fews similarities between Uganda and us
1. We are the former British colony
2. Have Minorities of Indians group
3. One of the fastest growing economy countries in the world
4. We have many Animals
5. Love football
6. One of the country positioning right in the Equator Line
7. And the Rollex was almost similar to Roti Canai Telur
And Every Uganda know Kung Fu!!
And please don't eat German Tourist 😂😂
🇲🇾❤️🇺🇬
I guess the major difference is the religion.
@@Samual.adis.Najmani yes
@@elkingoh4543 Malaysia is cool ngl
If I visit Malaysia at one point in future, where do you recommend?
@@Samual.adis.Najmani Go to Kuala Lumpur, the capital of Malaysia
@@elkingoh4543 right
Have a nice day.
Im a Kenyan and am proud of Our Neighbour Uganda...God bless Uganda 🤗
God bless Kenya!!
I'm from Australia. The first time I ever went overseas was to Uganda. It was amazing. Some of fhe friendliest people Ive ever met and a lot of fun. I've been to heaps of other countries since but Uganda will always be special for me.
🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
They literally pay to get a woman.
The next 4 episodes in line are countries that appear a lot in the news for me (Ukraine, UAE, UK, and USA) and I know that this far into the channel, the team is going to put nice episodes together for them all.
All that being said, I'm already excited for the Uruguay episode that's coming after those big ones, since it's an obscure country to me and much of what I know about it comes from Wikipedia or surface-level trivia of its bordering nations.
Uruguay looks like a really cool county to visit. Extremely underrated as well. I think Barby visited there fairly recently.
And don't forget football.
I only know uruguay due to football, them winning and hosting the first WC, and players like suarez nunez cavani and forlan
Uruguay is mostly famous because of its football players like Suarez for example. It’s crazy how a country with such a small population and area has been one of the most successful nations at the game historically speaking.
@@tannerwilson4843 Yeah everyone wants to visit Brazil and Argentina when they come to South America but no one ever goes to Uruguay or they think it must probably be the same as Argentina which isn’t true in the slightest. Uruguay while being similar on the surface to Argentina and sharing a lot in common they also have a lot of differences which of course aren’t immediately evidently obvious on the surface to us outsiders of course lol.
I got the opportunity to go to Uganda last fall, it was the trip of my life, I loved everything about the country, the people and the culture. The most memorble thing was when a friend told me ”You see, here in Uganda everyones smiling, and you guys are not. Here in africa we have nothing but are happy all the time, in Sweden you have everything but are sad all the time. Your bar for happiness is to high, just relax and see that anything can make you happy during your stay here.”
Denmark: We've literally been trying to tell them that forever now.
Stfu with this stupid story
Germans please take notes.
Do you know the way?? Do you know the way my brudda??
Are Swedes really sad all the time, though?
OH Uganda 🇺🇬.. It was amazing being a special guest on this channel representing my country. Thanks Paul and great Job Kimi and Pihon 💫💖
You did great, very impressive.
@@stemuganwa1626 thank you
Some you left the guy lie or mispresent
I wish you were the one there with him, you did better than the others
Rose your presentation was lovely and your energy is infectuous!
Love to Uganda 🇺🇬 from the Gambia🇬🇲
Wow, a Gambian, now that's rare
@@raviolithebest8644 thankyou much love
Ugandans are basically my cousins, a fact I learned on a heritage trip with my Dad to Kenya this past christmas in 2022. My dad was is from a village in central Kenya, in an area called Murang'a.
We previously visited when I was 4, but I'm 26, going on 27 now and have to say, it was a life changing experience and the source of a whole new admiration for where I'm from. Africa doesn't get as much credit as it deserves, especially East Africa, but Barbs and the Geography now crew never disappoint!
Love Uganda from Ethiopia 🇪🇹💙🇺🇬
Ekekdkdjdjdjdjdjrjdhdhfhrhrh
Nah bro I dont think so
@Red Star Playz aka Toad75 archive not at all
"I hope you get to enjoy Uganda if you're ever lucky enough to visit." I know that's right, Rose. It's a privilege for people to see this beautiful country. ♥
@Comic Field no you would be fortunate to lay your eyes on such a beautiful place.
Yes you know that's right 😂 PERIOD!!
@@RoseBasemera Rose! you were so beautiful in the video! hope you’re well
I visited Uganda in 2018. I came to love Uganda and the Ugandese people. You guys have the world so much to offer. Go Uganda 🇺🇬 your star will rise!
"ugandese"
😂😂😂
@@shortsforu160 lol it got me too😂🤣🤣🤣
Jesus Christ. The nationality is "Ugandan" 😂
I am not Ugandan anymore, I'm now Ugandese lol
Though I am Ugandan l have learned quite a few things. Everything is well articulated & educative. It has helped to put the country on the map in a positive way instead of picking the worst which gives a negative picture of not only Uganda but Africa as a whole as most people view it as a country as opposed to a Continent. Guys who haven't visited Uganda known as the Pearl of Africa should do so. Thanks all of you guys. Very well done job.
Next episode is going to be extremely difficult given current events. Good luck on the Ukraine episode man!
there is nothing difficult if you call things what they are ;)
Ukraine will be an insane but interesting episode nonetheless.
@@stan9389 I think the difficulty is just how fast stuff is changing nearly every day. It's almost a guarantee the episode will be out of date in a matter of months.
Did a good job with Israel, might get more hate comments doe and nasty language
@@raptonsoul2557 Nah I don’t think so. Only from some Russian trolls probably but otherwise not really hopefully.
Two Ugandan people on the opposite sides speaking openly and intellectually about the history of a controversial time of a country’s history
You love to see it
Wait to we get to the USA.
Gonna say, that's not the kind of approach that should be taken to a military dictatorship.
Love the episode, like all the earlier ones. One thing I found very interesting - they call a makeshift stove (mentioned at 12:08) a "Sigiri". I'm from India and guess what we call a stove in Hindi - a "Sigri" or "Sigdi" and in Marathi (my mother tongue) we call it a "Shegdi". Amazing to find similar words for the same thing in cultures so far away!
I wouldn't be surprised if the word Sigiri, actually came from the Hindu word, considering how influential Indian culture has been in Uganda. For instance we call tea , Chai, yes, that's our traditional word for it, and on other parts of East Africa. We also prepare it similar to Indian Chai. We also eat samosas and chapatis which are undeniably rooted in Indian Samosa & Parantha origin.
Love Uganda from!!🇵🇭 ❤️🇺🇬
Filipino ka? 🇵🇭
Kenya and Uganda are like brothers that share the Swahili language, various foods and a lot of things. Love from Kenya 🇰🇪❤️🇺🇬
British history isnt Something to be
proud of 😹😹😹😹🤦🏾♂️
@@user-bd1mp1zz1d of colonialism
We also share tribes & money 😀
@@user-bd1mp1zz1d it gives some elements of shared culture, it’s the colonialism itself nobody should be pourd of
In Uganda we don't speak Swahili, it's only spoken on the borders with kenya and congo.

I like everything about Uganda
They gave us Wakaliwood Films
Even the paying for women?

First episode of 2023! Love to Uganda 🇺🇬 from Texas in the USA 🇺🇸
Love Uganda from Malaysia. 🇲🇾 ❤ 🇺🇬

@@elkingoh4543 Kan. 😂😂😂
Thank you for all that you do, sending love from Shanghai. ❤
The sigh before saying Ukraine... That will be one of the episodes of all time. Also, hope you liked Brazil, Barb! Next time you come I want to meet you
anna from ukraine should co host the episode
Love Uganda frm Sri Lanka!! 🇱🇰♥️🇺🇬
Love love love your guests! One of your best episodes. Well done, Barbs!
Finally after many years of waiting, my country is here. Great work Barbs and team. Uganda is one of the most beautiful countries in the world, though small in size, but has a lot to see, lake Victoria(World's second largest lake by area), Mount Rwenzori(3rd tallest mountain and the only with glacia in Africa), Source of the Nile(World longest river), Africa's Big five animals, 10% of the world's birds, Mountain Gorillas, Rain forests, 20 primate species, over 1200 butterflies and so much more.
Come and I take you on a trip 🇺🇬🇺🇬😊😊
Uganda is indeed beautiful. Love the country.
@spindleteaBoth countries are very beautiful and have similar cultures and landscape. You can come when ready, we are very friendly people here.😊
Spent a month in Uganda during the summer, honestly the friendliest, most welcoming people iv ever met and most beautiful landscapes iv ever seen. Sipi Falls felt like the floating mountains in avatar
i got engaged last year with my ugandan girlfriend , i looked pretty dapper in my kanzu as a white guy and my interpretor and friend of my girlfriend is also a prince, ugandans are superfriendly people and the gingertea is deliscious weird they didn't say anything about the gingertea
Looking good in that shirt! I love Uganda, it's so nice to learn more about this beautiful country. ANd thank you for promoriting my business I really appreciate it :)
Yeah it's a really beautiful shirt. Nice work
I've been watching this series since it started its really exciting to see it nearly finishing and how much it's grown
Love Uganda from Djibouti 🇩🇯❤️🇺🇬
Visited my school’s partner school near Kampala, absolutely lovely, was the biggest and best trip of my life. Ddunda akunyweze, Uganda!🇺🇬🇺🇬🇺🇬
'Idi Amin is like Hitler'. Nailed it.
A good friend of my father's got thrown out of Uganda aged about 20 for the crime of having the wrong skin colour. His family may have come from the Indian sub-continent, but he had never lived anywhere other than Uganda. Suddenly he was removed from the only country he knew or had ever lived in. That's called racism. It's also brutality.
He gained asylum in the UK and ended up living a pretty successful life.
Many of the Asians who were brutally expelled by dictator Idi Amin in the early 1970s have returned to Uganda 🇺🇬 since the 1990s, and are now successful business moguls (and bona fide citizens)❤😊
I have so much to say but to round it all up
DAAAAAAMMMMMNNNN I definitely want to go to Uganda.
I also love how you two have opposing views of this one ruler from the 70s and not only settled but actually reacted in a very comfortable relaxing way with little to no ax-to-grind undertone.
still cant relate to that dude justifying amin.
U guys are doing a great job. Through these I was able to know much more about the countries that I think I would ever know.
Yes:)
Uganda has to be one of the most memed African nations in the world
Why are you gaey ?
Eating da poo poo like ice cream.
We got uhhhh Ugandan knuckles
Their accent is great
Why are u gae
Kimi and Pihon were awesome!
Amazing episode as always
Hello Uganda!
-From the USA
🇺🇸❤️🇺🇬
Excellent episode. Really learned a lot and the two guest hosts are amazing.
Next episode is going to be really something to be done carefully but definitely will be done well.
The best content as always Barbs and the team, congratulations.
Love from Tanzania 🇹🇿
More than varisu and thunivu theatre release, I was waiting for uganda episode to be released from this channel ! I love this channel ! Love from Tamilnadu ♥
You should do an episode on Antarctica. I know there’s not much down there but I don’t know the geography of it like at all other than there’s ice down there and I’m sure most other people don’t either!
It he really cool to have a short geography now filler week video on where the amount where the mountain ranges and all the biggest scientific research stations are
Its not an UN-recognised state, so he wont do it, but he might do it after Zimbabwe
AWESOME guests! God bless you on the next one, brother...
I've been waiting for this episode for so long
Thanks for the presentation 👌
Love from Uganda 🇺🇬
I’ve met alot of Ugandans here in Qatar and I have noticed that most of them have very serious face like they will never smile at you first but they are good.
Uganda is really cool, I went there with my family because my dad was raised there and born in Rwanda, it is naturally beautiful and the people are amazing, I also met the Archbishop of Uganda and you will notice when visiting it is a strongly religious country if you are Christian.
Currently spend whole november and part of december in Uganda. Currently in Kenya (originally Czech Republic). Uganda is so diverse and beautiful, every part is like different world. It is kind of Slovenia or Georgia of Africa (but without sea). I have climbed Rwendzori mountains and saw that glacier is getting so much melted, hell! And those languages? Even south of Kasese town says good morning differently then north! Crazy :D
How’s the poverty in Kampala? What are the roads like?
Ugandans are some really good looking people! Hope to visit some day!!! Cheers from the US.
And I gotta try some rollex!!!
@@jflatley38 really, thats to die for. I've eaten Rolex and kikomando for years but I've never got tired
Interesting that my last name means Fried Grasshoppers in Uganda. There is even a whole town called Senene. I wonder if there was a migration down to South Africa 🇿🇦 in the past 🤔.
Lots of that has to do with the banquet as that word comes from the banquet speakers of uganda
Awesome to know so much about Uganda❤️ love from India
WAS WAITING FOR THIS GREAT JOBS AS USUAL BARBS! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🙌🏾
Love Uganda from Uganda! 🇺🇬
Seems like yo in Uganda, how a u enjoying yo trip
Wc part r u
@@Rike64 currently am not home
Am excited hearing about Uganda ! I never thought you'd talk about Uganda but you possibly nailed it -lol!
I really love learning about these overlooked countries instead of big ones like they r so much more interesting
I agree, it's cool!
The big ones aren't any less interesting either.
I loved these guys, they were very knowledgeable, and fun and entertaining, too.
Ian always with his coffee mug.
Love Uganda from 🇸🇴
Thanks for bringing this beautiful country closer to those who don't know. Atleast someone has got another view of it in mind. Most people have hard of Uganda but they've not know it's positivity. Small as it is but it's precious to us, besides being a home it's also worm. Uganda is always a friendly and loving country that welcome everyone. For God and my country 💕 🇺🇬
Love to UG from Mombasa 🇰🇪❤️
Despite your short comings, I love you and l am proud to be an African Mashariki (East African) of Ugandan descent. Long live the African Pearl...
This Uganda episode is really interesting.
What I learned throughout all these years is that there are many hidden places and interesting things to know we can't imagine in every country in this really big Earth. Even in my own country I thought there was nothing in some places and I was surprised.
Uganda had great host love there vibe ❤ from Trinidad and Tobago 🇹🇹
Love Ugandans from sudan 🇸🇩❤️🇺🇬
Honestly, the discussion about Idi Amin, who expelled several minorities and ordered executions for others shows a lot about how easily autocrats can sweep their crimes under the rug. Kimi literally sees Idi Amin as Hitler (whether that’s justified or not I can’t say, but he definitely used public executions as a brutal method of suppression or even cleansing, and Wikipedia says that he is “considered to be one of the most brutal despots in modern world history) but for Pihon, that’s all good because Amin brought home the body of their king. That’s it. Not gonna dispute the importance of having the remains be returned to them, but apparently that’s ALL it took for the king’s people to completely support Amin and his gruesome ways. Goes to show how easy people are sometimes; give one kid a small cookie, and he won’t mind you breaking another’s nose for lunch money. He’ll just turn around and eat his cookie, pretending he didn’t see anything (or worse yet, acting like him getting the cookie was more important than the victim getting his nose broken for some bucks).
Great comment. Kinda sad that this episode has a whole minute dedicated to defending a mass murderer. His perspective was really interesting but not at all rational or ethical.
@@christophermccandless8352 yeah… Hat off to Kimi though for keeping calm during that part, I honestly don’t know if I would’ve been able to do the same
This was such a fun episode! Great job and I love the guest ugandians on this episode!
24:25, “Soccer” was coined by the English as a shorthand name for Association Football because the term “Rugger” had been coined for Rugby Football. “Soccer” comes from the word “association”. When Association Football began to spread in the US, we already had American Gridiron Football with a lock on the shorthand name “Football”.
I didn't know this, thanks for that information.
I enjoyed this episode. Great guests from Uganda 5*****
Hey Barb's, in Aurora Illinois is a coffee shop called Endiro where they use proceeds to support Ugandan Farmers. When you guys mentioned the Rollex eggs this reminded me of the place. I live a half hour away and the next time I'm there I will try the Rollex dish. Great episode!
Yes Endiiro coffee has branches in Uganda.❤
this series has been going on for so long i cant actually see it coming to an end. like theres no life without another geography now episode
Love Ugandans much love from Kenya
can’t wait for the USA episode
Yoooo awesome episode. Guests were so relaxed and funny.
i’ve been waiting five year for this episode barbs! love from uganda sir! 🇺🇬👆🏾
such a wholesome video :), well done!
Excellent episode as per usual, Barbs! I can't imagine how difficult it must have been to resist referencing that old "Ugandan Knuckles" meme - it's like when the Nostalgia Critic reviewed _Little Nemo_ and didn't make a single _Finding Nemo_ joke (unless you count the joke at the end where he's congratulated for not doing so, then he asks "Does that count?").
Also... good luck with the next episode. I bet this'll be Israel 2.0, but with even bigger eggshells to avoid.
I want to visit Uganda so badly. It's such an interesting county.
You are welcome
Will be glad to take you around the country, we have a lot for you to see.
Incredible video... Are they all like this? Love how you actually have knowledgable people from the area on with you
I'm from Uganda and this is good coverage keep it up
Thank you, Barb! Best episode ever. Makes me proud more to be Ugandan 👍🏻🇺🇬🇺🇬🇺🇬🇺🇬🇺🇬
Oh man can't wait for next episode 😂😂
Same
Months*
Love from Kenya as usual ♥️♥️🇺🇬
Love Uganda from Bosnia 🇧🇦❤️🇺🇬
Finally U countries I have been waiting for this for a long time
31:39 For Ukraine, please mention Ochis' coffee eyeglasses: Ochis takes used coffee grounds and makes eyeglass frames out of them. Art should also mention the pole-vault dominance of Sergey Bubka.
His real name is Serhiy. Sergey is a ruSSian version.
Thank you guys for an exhaustive dive into Uganda . I expected a great video but this blew my mind .
For those who would love to visit Uganda ,we’re happy to have you . Uganda is blessed with some of the most beautiful wildlife , birds , landscapes , mountains and waterbodies in the world .We have diverse cultures and tribes and lots of amazing food.We are friendly people and love to party so please carry your dancing shoes 😊
For God and My Country 🖐🏽 🇺🇬
I’ve waited for this episode for years!
I got the opportunity to stay in Uganda for a month and a half last summer for study abroad. It was amazing! We mostly stayed in a campsite in Kibale National park where we went to Fort Portal from time to time to buy groceries. We unfortunately didn’t get to see the capital but the river safari at Queen Elizabeth National park made up for it. The food kinda reminded me of some of my food (i come from an afro-latino background so lots of plantains and rice). I would def go back if i can
31:38 it seems Paul is not looking forward to the next episode.
Wow this came at the perfect time because I found out a couple days ago that I’ll have the opportunity to go to Uganda this summer . I’m learning all I can before I go and this video was so helpful. Will definitely check out the music!
My best friend from high school is a wildlife photographer from Japan 🇯🇵 and he’s working in Uganda 🇺🇬 as right now so this episode is very amazing scene he’s there for that Gold-Crested Bird
I heard Bishop Kivingere speak inPittsburgh while in theological studies. The whole room was moved to tears as he talked about his experiences with Amin. Very powerful speaker
Great performance by the two guest hosts
Love you Uganda 🇺🇬 from Ethiopia one Africa 🙏💪🇪🇹
Kaleb aka. Gary's part is still and always be my favourite part, he is so funny😂😂❤
GERI HA-LOW HERE!
This is very interesting, thank you guys, Thank you for telling the ugandan story the good way.
so the dude have a soft spot for Idi Amin for being "patriotic" and all about "Uganda for Ugandans" yet he lives 8000km away in another people countries..
how stereotypical, the dictators fans and nationalist live abroad while minorities (and the populace at large) suffer under the cruel regime !
