Today I'm playing Travel, another daily geography game where your job is to connect two random
0:04
countries in the world by naming other countries that border each other
0:08
And the point is that you're meant to do it as efficiently as possible by naming the fewest possible countries
0:12
And for an extra bit of added excitement, I'm going to be trying to beat Geowizard's
0:17
scores because I've got the same three maps open that he attempted in a video a few weeks ago
0:22
So we're starting off with, I believe that is Namibia and we are heading to, ooh, I'm
0:27
I'm not 100% sure I can like move around and zoom in on it
0:31
I think this is Mongolia, but I might be wrong. It says guess one of 17, so obviously that means I get a maximum of 17 guesses
0:39
Does that mean it's only possible by naming 17 countries or is it less than that
0:42
I would think a bit less than that. But anyway, what should we go with first? So from Namibia, does DRC connect
0:49
I don't think it quite will, but I think I don't have to name them in order
0:53
Okay, so it doesn't connect. There's definitely one between and it's a bit higher than I thought, which is a bit of a concern
0:59
They'll be slightly more Eastern. What if this isn't Namibia? It doesn't say
1:03
I think it is, but I might be wrong. There's only one country that has this much of a panhandle
1:07
So is Angola above or below Namibia? Oh, this is harder than I thought it was going to be
1:14
So there's Cameroon around here, I think. I think we've got Republic of the Congo like there
1:20
What is above this? You think Botswana will connect? I don't think so. Maybe Zambia
1:24
I think Zambia is probably gonna be a bit lower than I'm visualizing. It's perfect
1:28
We've created a connection. That's a border, right? Yes, we are bordering. Good
1:32
Cool. That's perfect, actually. So from DRC, do we have South Sudan
1:38
I'm not sure. Let's try it. We do. So from South Sudan, logically, Sudan
1:43
Let's go with it. Give it a click. Very nice. Very nice. And then Sudan borders Egypt
1:48
I think we need Egypt. That's essential, right? We are away. Look at us flying
1:53
Okay. And then from Egypt, I think Israel borders Egypt, right? Yeah, it must do
1:59
Yes, it does. Okay. So that's 7 of 17. We're still quite a long way, but we have a few larger countries coming now
2:05
So I don't think Israel borders Saudi Arabia, but I think Saudi Arabia is essential
2:11
So let's go with it. Oh, I think I could have skipped Israel
2:14
Or maybe I couldn't. Yeah, they maybe don't actually connect there. Okay. Well, Syria, I think, connects Israel and Saudi Arabia
2:22
Oh, it doesn't. I could have maybe skipped Saudi Arabia then that's perhaps inefficient. All right. Well, I think from Saudi Arabia
2:28
I can do Iran and Iran. Oh, no, it doesn't quite fit. Why are they not next to each other
2:34
Where's Iraq? Is Iraq on the left or the right of Iran? There you go. There we go. Right. Everything is now connected again, and we are quite close to what I think is Mongolia
2:44
Let's do China. China's got to be essential. It just takes up so much space. Yes
2:48
So that's that is mongolia, right? I was worried it was maybe kazakhstan, but I think kazakhstan's here
2:53
So we're pretty close now from iran and china. So I think I could do pakistan or afghanistan
3:00
I think I need afghanistan actually. Yeah, let's do afghanistan. Nice. We've done it. Oh my god
3:06
We did it in 12. The shortest solution was 10 guesses and we did it in 12
3:10
Oh, and we get to see the actual map now as well. Okay, what could I have changed there
3:14
So we got a little sort of panhandle type thing between Afghanistan and China which helped us out I did not realize they technically boarded each other So what would have been the best thing to do I guess we could have skipped Syria if these connect Either way we got there in 12 which I quite happy with Let see if
3:30
Geowizard managed to beat us. Oh, he went Angola first. So I skipped Angola because I was worried
3:36
that it was underneath. So I guess that means you could skip Zambia. Oh, so he went with Chad and I
3:42
skipped Chad. Chad definitely not necessary there. Oh my god, here we go. He's on 12, which is what
3:47
I got, and he isn't quite there. He's on 13. He's tried Russia. What's he bothering with Russia for
3:54
Georgia. Georgia? He's done it. It took him 13 guesses. And it took me 12. We have beaten Tom on
4:05
the first one, which is something I did not expect. Unrelated side note, by the way, I emailed Tom
4:10
about a video idea a few months ago and he hasn't got back to us yet. So feel free to remind him
4:14
All right, let's attempt the second one and hopefully we can possibly beat him a second time
4:18
So once again, the two countries, oh, they're question marks and I don't immediately recognize them
4:25
It looks like a kind of little sort of slightly unborn fetus
4:29
like huddled up somewhere. Is that a weird thing to say? Possibly. Do we recognize the other country
4:33
So obviously this makes it so much harder when you don't know what you're starting off on. I think I do recognize that
4:38
I think that's Equatorial Guinea, which is in a similar area to round one
4:43
So I'm doing DRC again. I think that's going to be really, really useful
4:47
It's not quite as high as I wanted. I don't recognize this though. I'm curious
4:51
What is that? It's like towards Taiwan area, maybe, but it's way too big for Taiwan
4:56
It could be South Korea. I'm not sure. We'll hopefully be able to work it out
5:00
All right. So Democratic Republic of Congo was unfortunately not connecting and I know what will connect
5:05
and that's Cameroon. So I think unfortunately i've wasted a vote there on the drc damn that is very annoying
5:12
But potentially if we can connect these two we can then do the same route we did last time
5:16
So once again, we only have a max of 17 guesses. So I think we need to be somewhat efficient here
5:21
Where could I go from cameroon? Should I try going what kind of latitude are we on
5:26
It's quite difficult to work out how much further north that is
5:30
I'm wondering should I try and go north now or should I try and do more of a diagonal
5:34
I think I need to do the diagonal. So Cameroon, DRC, Republic of the Congo is probably going to connect those up
5:41
So let's go with it. Is that done it? Are we not away? Good guess. Not the shortest route, but it's not far off
5:46
Oh, I didn't see these. Cameroon is the shortest route. So I've let myself down here on the Congos
5:51
Ah, that's annoying. That's really irritating. Okay, never mind. I think Cameroon might connect with Niger, but I'm not 100%
5:58
Oh, no, it doesn't. I'm throwing this one away. I might even run out of guesses. Shall we whack out a china so we can try and work out where this is? I think so
6:07
Okay, so I think that is south korea then so if we do north korea, let's just confirm that yes, it is
6:13
Okay, we have some connections. Okay, maybe it would be better to work backwards
6:17
I think it potentially would so let's do same as previous Afghanistan followed by was it iraq? I think it was. Oh, no, it wasn't was it iran then
6:27
Let's whack them two together. Yeah, they're all connected. Syria was a waste
6:31
I think Saudi Arabia isn't necessary this time. I think Egypt's gonna be essential though
6:35
Good. Jordan might be helpful. Do Jordan Guess Yes Do they not actually connect All right we whack out Israel again then and that help us out Good Oh we so close 13 out of 17 Ah I so annoyed about the Congos
6:49
This would have been a not bad guess and Niger apparently not needed either
6:52
So I think Ghana and Benin and Togo, they're over this way
6:56
So I need to be more here. So I think it's going to have to be Sudan again
7:00
The Sudan board. Oh, look at that. Niger, definitely not necessary at all
7:04
If I can remember what goes between these two, is it Central African Republic
7:08
I'm going to try it. Let's go for it. It is 14 out of 17
7:12
So, Niger, completely not needed and neither were two of the Congos
7:17
So, if I was a bit more careful, instead of 14, I would have managed to get a very nice 11
7:22
Let's first see if Tom recognises these two countries. Right, look at this
7:27
Here, we have to go from Equatorial Guinea. He's worked it out straight away
7:32
To South Korea. Ah, he recognises them. Okay, let's see which way he went
7:36
He worked backwards. Backwards is definitely the smart thing to do there. He's going to beat me on this one
7:40
I think that feels... Cameroon. He's done it. Right to me. Yep
7:44
He got there in just 10. So even with my Kongos and Niger, he still would have beaten me by one point
7:50
So either way, it is now 1-1 to me and Tom. So this final round is the decider
7:56
And what is it? We have got... What is this? Oh, that's Ireland, isn't it? Okay
8:01
Ireland is connecting with... I can't even see it. What is that? Is that Taiwan
8:05
I don't know. I can't tell. It might be way further to the west
8:09
I'm not sure. United Kingdom is the only thing that will connect with Ireland
8:13
So that's essential. Very, very nice. Now, I am curious how we connect to United Kingdom
8:17
Because land-wise, it does only border Ireland, right? Unless you're counting overseas territories
8:22
Which, I guess, maybe we do. I might try working backwards. I'm wondering if just Russia would be a really useful one to get
8:29
I think it probably would. I'm gonna try. I'm gonna try it and it'll give us this idea of scale. Oh my god. No if that's Russia
8:37
Then is it gonna be like Timor-Leste or something or like Singapore just to try and work out where it is
8:42
I think I need to put Indonesia. So let's try it. Yeah, is that area? Oh, it is bordering. It is bordering
8:48
So I think that's Timor-Leste, but I might be wrong. Oh my god
8:53
This is difficult. Indonesia can border with is it Malaysia? It is right. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah
8:57
I was oh, that's not done very much. So from malaysia. I think we can connect with like thailand and stuff
9:04
But I might be misremembering i'm gonna put it. Oh my god I'm on fire and you can see it's got the green tick and everything
9:09
So from thailand it goes up and we've got kind of like cambodia and laos they're out here
9:14
But above it does it actually connect with india? Let's get china
9:18
I'm assuming china is going to be important just with how big it is. Yes. Why is nothing lit up yet
9:23
That's what worries me I guess maybe because I need to be lighting them up from that way. Does China actually connect with Thailand
9:30
No, it doesn't. Okay, we won't worry about it for now. Let's work our way from Europe
9:34
So this is where I'm thrown off though, because I don't quite know how I'm connecting United Kingdom
9:38
because it isn't sharing a border with anything. Hang on, let's check the info
9:42
Oh my God, I've just clicked facts and questions. I hope I've not lost my place
9:49
I have lost my place. Oh no! Oh, it mentions tunnels. So I think maybe UK and France connects via that tunnel
9:58
So France is what I need to go with Let see if I can get back the guesses that I was meant to have So it was definitely Indonesia followed by Malaysia followed by Thailand right Let go with that
10:09
Yes. Then we've got China is what I put. Russia was definitely up there as well
10:15
And then we had UK. And then I'm going to try France just to see if that's how we're connecting
10:20
Yes, it is. Okay. So I don't know if this counts as a connection
10:24
I don't think it does, but we will come back to it. And instead, we're going to try and connect France with Russia
10:30
Now, what is the fastest way for us to do that? It's got to be Germany, right
10:34
So let's do Germany. Nice. And then do we go up via like Sweden and stuff
10:39
Or do we go across via Poland? I think we've got to do Poland, surely
10:44
So let's go with it. Nice. And is that a connection between Russia? No, apparently not
10:48
Okay, so is the one I'm missing Belarus? So far, everything is a green tick
10:53
I think it's Belarus, but I'm not 100%. It is. So is everything connected now? Everything but here. Okay, if I can get this, I've gotten a perfect run
11:01
But that's scary because I'm not actually sure. I'm thinking it's India, but it really might not be
11:06
Because surely India is a bit more over this way. And we're going to have some of the smaller countries like Myanmar and Bangladesh and even Nepal and Bhutan
11:15
Oh, no. I don't think I should go with India because if we're going to fit other countries that I've just mentioned
11:21
India is going to be far more over to the left. Myanmar does kind of stretch down a bit. I'm gonna go with it, but I think this could be wrong. Let's try it
11:29
Oh my god, we got confetti and everything you got from island to East Timor
11:33
Which is two or less in 11 guesses the shorter solution was 11 guesses. We got a perfect run. Oh my god
11:40
I'm, so happy with that. There's so many different routes that we could do It would be an interesting video trying to do as long a route as possible
11:46
I suppose you'd run out guesses. Okay Remember me and tom currently have one point each. So let's see how he gets on on this final round
11:53
I recognize that as Ireland. And will he recognize East Tamar? Because I did not
11:57
And that is Timor-Leste. He worked it out straight away. Fair play
12:04
Wait, how am I going to do that? Yeah, I know. All right, let's skip through and see how he got on
12:09
So he knew to do France straight away. Fair enough. Indonesia as well
12:13
Oh my God, he's thinking about this for ages. He's being really, really careful about it
12:16
Will he work out how to connect these two? This is what I was stuck on. Burma, I think
12:21
Oh, Burma. Burma's the old name for Myanmar. Oh, I don't know
12:25
So he's actually right there. I'm hoping he bottles it and tries something else
12:28
I honestly don't know. Yeah, it was definitely a tricky one. Burma. Oh, no
12:33
Myanmar. Yeah, there we go. He got it. He got it. Okay. Yes
12:36
I guess Ukraine. Ukraine. Ukraine. I didn't do Ukraine. I did Belarus
12:42
Poland. Oh, but if Ukraine does border Poland, then it'll get there in the same amount of guesses
12:48
Technically, Russia borders Poland here. Yeah, see, I thought that, but it did not count
12:52
All right, he's going with Poland, but it's not counting. But it's still most efficient
12:57
Germany's fine. So he has one last guess now. Don't try Belarus. Oh, no
13:02
Yeah. He's gone for it. He's done it. He got the same confetti as me
13:07
He got there in 11 guesses as well. Fair enough. So that means me and G-Wizard both scored the same points
13:13
How delightful. I won one. He won one. We both won one. Let me know in the comments down below if you'd like to see a proper collaboration with G-Wizard
13:19
I think that would be really fun. Subscribe to the DrogoFu channel if you've not already. And I'll see you later
