    We are working on the next few country videos however literally the DAY after we filmed this, the Venezuela gatherings and Juan Guaidó movements began. After the situation clears up a little bit and more information comes out we would like to do a follow up video explaining the current state of affairs. I will have my Venezuelan friend who has family in Venezuela helping me out as well. Stay tuned!

    - The pronunciation is Tereré, stressing the third syllable.
    - Uruguayans speak very similar than Buenos Aires Argentinians. Interior Argentinians speak different.

      When a Chilean asks "do you want to be my girl/boyfriend?" They don't say "quieres ser mi novia/o?" Like the rest of Spanish people, they say "quieres pololear conmigo?", I would translate it to "do you want us to be in a relationship". So the boy is pololo and the girl is polola. Fun fact, "pololo" is a word from mapudungun, the mapuche language, and it refers to a species of fly, so I guess it was born from mothers to lock the boyfriend of their respective daughters, and it evolved to being used by the whole country, not just the mapuche territories

    Chile is the only country in South America that can be in a week in the mountains with snow and after being on the beach, you can go south and see large green forests with rivers, lakes and mountains or if you want to go further south (Aysen ) It's like being in Alaska. You also have other options such as going north to the Atacama desert which has beautiful views, this place is the best to see the stars around the world. If you want something more tropical you can go to Easter Island and relax for a while with the moais. 🇨🇱

    Aww man Barby, it's too bad that you had to treat Guyana and Suriname as the same country, especially culturally (because ok, granted, physically they're kind of the same). Suriname is way more diverse ethnically, e.g. they have the highest percentage of Indonesians in both South America and the Caribbean. There's more interesting stuff to get into. I won't do that right now. It's just a bummer that you took these countries, which are already relatively unknown, and then crushed the chance to highlight something cool about them.

      Countries of the World Songs I believe Extended Scandinavia includes Finland, Iceland, the Faroe Islands, and the Åland Islands alongside the traditional Nordic Countries (Denmark, Sweden, and Norway).
      I’d argue you may want to thrown in the Republic of Karelia in Russia as well as Estonia (if you’re including Finland, that is, seeing as Estonia is the little brother of Finland). Also Greenland, perhaps, though they aren’t exactly “Nordic” or “Scandinavian” anymore, given most of their population is indigenous peoples.

I'm from Rio Grande do Sul state and I grow up seen Argentineans and Uruguayans in Brazil, so I feel more approached with them, it's quite easy to find someone here who have relatives in these countries, we have some similarities with the culture with Uruguay (in my state).
