Once, the Prime Minister of Australia swam out into the ocean, and was never seen again.

[crazeelazee]

For anyone wondering, no we don't actually spit on people for good luck in Greece. It's more of an expression, similar to "break a leg".

[elyalvarz]

As a Mexican person I’m thankful you included a Mexican fact so Mexicanly accurate. Mexican kudos to you.

[phoenixblade]

Koreans have abolished the year tradition.

Another weird fact would be the final high school exams. On the day of exams, no cars or planes are allowed to be driven or piloted respectively as it can be a “distraction” to the students.

[TacoTurkey]

I'm just glad they didn't mention the emu war...

[bronwiegobller]

"Singapore's capital is Singapore."
true

[realbobby]

In Thailand, the name Bangkok is actually a district's name, 'Bang Kork', the name of the city is the long ass name but we usually just use the first two word of it's full name, "Krung Thep' or 'City of Angels'...I think foreigners call it Bangkok because it's funnier or it just reminds them of the activity they had while staying there

Most of Europe: *Mostly lighthearted facts like wine fountain*
Eastern Europe: *History of misery and suffering*

[anfeneeharry]

As a Guyanese i can confirm. Its like u spawn in a Jungle biome and while traveling u find a Savannah and mountain biome encapsulated by the Jungle.

[CutestDogs]

9:17 "A South American country in South America"
Quote of the year

[werewolf]

Also a little fun fact about the Netherlands, we say our numbers backwards
Like 45 is "forty five"
In the Netherlands its "five and forty" (yes, including the "and")
saying 1945 is "19 5 and 40"
Absolutely awfull when also speaking english and switching back and forth 🎉

[EthanEskenazi]

Fun fact: South Korea recently changed their age system to the normal way that's used around the world. 🇰🇷

[Yerzio]

no actually the liver isnt the organ of love in morroco its just a cute little metaphor we use when describing how much we love someone "I love u so much you might as well be my liver" because the liver is always literally by your side and its a vital organ for your well being!!

[zddxddyddw]

We have bagged milk in Argentina too. I don't know why it's such a wild concept for people from the US, it's really practical and makes the packaging cheaper thus decreasing the price of milk overall.

[thegamebirb]

fun fact
the word kangaroo actually means i dont know in some local australian language. when the british first arrived at australia they saw a kangaroo and asked the natives what is this animal. they said kangaroo because they didnt understand english

[kamatariedgar]

The SNES music, the good jokes without being mean to cultures, the speed... everything is good about this video, you won a subscriber.

[ottomakinen]

New Zealand hasn't owned Samoa since 1962. Samoa is now its own independent state.

I remember visiting Monaco for a school trip.
There was a guy who killed the engine of his Lambo so he ordered someone to drive another one to his location while the previous was getting towed away.
