Can I name all 12 capitals of Oceania? No, I can't. Definitely not. I reckon I could name nearly two
0:04
possibly three. But by the end of this video, I'll be able to name all 14. Last month, I learned all
0:09
47 capital cities in Europe. They've all started shouting at me again, so I'm starting on Oceania
0:13
simply because it's got the lowest number of countries. Alright, what can I do? Enter the
0:17
capital of Samoa? I don't know that! I'm gonna do a bit of skipping, please. Yes, New Zealand. There
0:23
we go. That would be Wellington. Ha ha, that's one. Fun bit of trivia for you. Wellington is the most
0:28
southerly capital in the world. There you go. Okay. I feel like I maybe do know Papua New Guinea
0:33
I feel like it's Port Moresby. I just think I've seen that somewhere. Port Moresby. Oh my God. There
0:38
we go. Okay. Where's Australia? There it is. That would be Canberra. There we go. That is the extent
0:43
of my knowledge. Yeah. I literally don't know any of the others. Oh wait, wait, wait. Fiji. Fiji
0:47
Is it Narao or something? Naro or Naru or Narao? No, it's not going to come to me. I think Fiji
0:53
begins with N. Let's give up and find out. Fiji does not begin with N. Oh my God. Look at some
0:58
of these names. Njurulmud. What are you doing to me, Palau? How do we properly pronounce that
1:03
Garulmud. Garulmud. Okay, Garulmud. Garulmud sounds epic, to be fair. Suva, we should be able
1:08
to remember. Port Vila, I should be able to remember, because it's kind of like Port Moresby
1:13
but it begins with V for Vanuatu. Nauru's is Yaron, which is Karan with a Y. Kiribati
1:19
Tarawa, that's not too bad. Solomon Islands, Honira. Tuvalu is Funafuti. Martial Islands
1:26
begins with an m that's helpful marjuro all right let's go again and get more than three palau um
1:32
i've forgotten them all palau was the difficult one wasn't it was that the
1:37
goob i've forgotten it oh it may or may not still be open in another tab but don't mind if i do
1:43
gurul mud ha ha all right micronesia don't know pap new guinea i could do that one port moseby
1:49
where's vanuatu that was port villa wasn't it yes earlier it's just canberra not sydney some people
1:55
We'll assume it's Sydney. Fiji was Siwa, was it? No, Silla, Siwa
2:01
Oh, why have I forgotten it? Suva, okay, okay. So yeah, I'm just getting them all in my head
2:05
by basically doing this quiz a bunch of times. And by the end of the video, I should hopefully be able to say all 14
2:10
Some more I've forgotten. Kiribati was something. Was that the Karen with a Y
2:16
Yaron? No, it's not. Was this one Yaron? Which one was Yaron? I think it was Nauru
2:21
Yaron, there we go. Marshall Islands began with an M, but I don't remember it
2:25
New Zealand's obviously Wellington, and I think that's it for this round
2:28
That's 7 of 14 we managed to get. We're halfway there already. 50%
2:32
Setting the bar low, huh? All right. Average score, 75%. 75 of the global population do not know that Nuka Loafer is the capital of Tonga Do not be mean Sparkle All right enter capital of Tonga I just said it and I literally can remember it I giving up again Nuka Loafer Okay Nuka Loafer That sounds unreal
2:50
Okay, Tonga, Nuka and then there was a little one of these
2:54
Loafer I've spelled it wrong. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. It's Nuku Loafer Nuku
2:59
Loafer what? Nuku Alofer. All right fair enough. Alofer what am I doing wrong
3:06
There we go. We did it. I don't know what I did wrong, but let's just pretend it never happened
3:11
Right. I'm gonna have to start coming up with some new monics because I'm struggling. All right. How do I remember
3:16
Nuka loafer well in the Tonga you do the Congo and you've been dancing doing the Congo for so long that you end up quite
3:23
Aloof and tired nuke a loofer Wow and then in Tuvalu or Tuvalu
3:28
Apparently that's how the locals pronounce it. It's such a fun fruity place
3:32
BuNafooty! Okay, so Nauru and Yaron. I'm thinking of Nauru more like
3:37
Naurud, Rude, Karen, Karen, Yaron. No offense to any people call Karen watching. I hate the stipulations surrounding Karen
3:44
But here I am pushing it further. Alright, Marshall Islands. A guy called Marshall has to go on jury duty
3:50
Marshall, Juryo. If any of these stay in my head with these stupid reasons, oh it will be magical. Okay, Micronesia
3:58
Micro, really small. Palestine is also pretty small as countries go. Palestine, Palikr
4:04
I do not think that's going to stay in my head. All right, Palau and Garulmud
4:08
People love getting muddy with their pals in Garulmud, Palau. Sure. And then Samoa
4:15
Let's just try and remember the A is in both of them. Maybe that'll work. Let's see
4:19
Okay, let's see how we get on. All right, Australia, we already knew. Canberra, Nauru
4:23
Okay, hang on, hang on. So Nauru, Naurud, Karen, Yaren. Yaron, there we go
4:28
Martial Islands. And is that the martial going on jury duty? So that's Majuro
4:35
Majuro. Oh, is that all right? It's just Majuro. I added an extra A in there
4:39
Majuro. Okay. Samoa. Did I come up with one for Samoa? I think it was just the Apia
4:44
Yes. And then Tuvalu was, it was Fun and Fruity, wasn't it
4:48
Fun and Fruity. Something like that. Fun and Fruity. I got it. Tonga is people are doing the Congo and then they're Aloof
4:55
It ends with aloof, doesn't it? But I can't remember what it starts with because that wasn't part of my little thing
5:00
It's Nuku aloof, okay. Right, how do I remember Nuku? Imagine me saying, yoohoo, to someone while I'm doing the conga
5:07
Micronesia, that was pal-something, wasn't it, for Palestine? Palatina or something like that
5:13
It's Palica, okay. Fiji, we can get. It was Siwi, wasn't it
5:17
Oh, is it not? Suva. I got there, I got there. Panuatu we had something for that but I can remember it Oh I overcomplicating it It just Port Vila the one that we should hopefully be able to remember Right well remember that Papua New Guinea which is Port Mosby points to Vanuatu Port Vila Easy there we go
5:32
Kiribati, can't remember. Palau, something about getting muddy with your pals. Oh, yeah, yeah
5:37
So it starts with that silent N, and then it's Garulmud. Garulmud
5:42
Oh my God, I must be so close. Yeah, I just missed the L, Garulmud. And then New Zealand is Wellington
5:48
and I just noticed... Oh, Port Mosby. Oh, just run out of time
5:53
But that's not bad. That's progress. On that one, I genuinely remembered like bits of the word rather than the whole thing
5:58
Let me try again. Tonga is Congo Aloof Nuku Aloofa. Yes, that was good for me
6:05
Oh, Vanuatu, that is jmwshop.core.uk. Oh, no, it's sorry. That's just where you can get this very limited edition geography merch
6:14
What a cool design. Is that the world on my back? Very nice
6:18
But in all seriousness, Vanuatu is Port Villa. Thank you very much
6:22
Palau is, it's Garul Mud. This is a turning point. Here we go
6:29
Nauru, that is Yaran. Yes. Martial Islands is Majuro. Yes. Australia is Canberra
6:37
Papua New Guinea is Port Mosby. There we go. Micronesia is Palpalikur
6:43
Yes. Tubaloo is, it's like Funfuti. Something like that, isn't it? I can't remember right i'll try not to do any cheating in this one
6:52
I just want to see how far we can go so more is a lip pair or something like that, isn't it
6:56
Paliya Alia something like that. We're close, but we're not quite good at Fiji is
7:00
Suva yet new zealand is wellington Uh, kiribas. Can we get kiribas? No, I can't quite remember solomon islands
7:08
It's not coming to me. Okay. Well, that's 10 but this time with no cheating at all
7:13
I didn't google anything, but we're nearly there. What did I forget? We've not done
7:17
Honira, which I've just literally not learned anything for. So that makes sense. Samoa, we were
7:21
so close to, and so was Tuvalu as well. Fun and fruity. That's how I need to remember that. And
7:27
Kiribati, I've not created anything for either. Tarawa. Okay, Kiribati, more like Tarawati
7:33
more like Tarawa. Sure, that'll do. Solomon Islands, we've got Solomon, more like Hon
7:39
Iara. All right, brace yourselves, everyone. Here we go. Capital of Palau is Gurulmud. Yes
7:45
Capital of Samoa would be West Samoa, it's over there. Apia, yes
7:50
Capital of Solomon Islands. I've just done something. It was Mon-Hon-I-E-R-A or something like that
7:57
Oh my God, Micronesia. Palikar, there we go. Capital of Marshall Islands would be a guy called Marshall
8:03
Majuro no Majuro it without the R isn it Yeah Capital of Fiji is Suva Capital of Tuvalu would be Funafruity Funafuti Yes capital of Australia is Canberra Capital of Tonga is Tonga Congo
8:21
Aloof, Aloofa. Oh, huku is it? Huku, Aloofa? Oh, is that not right? Oh, that's so annoying
8:28
All right, well, I guess I'll just leave it. Capital of Vanuatu is just Port Ville. So
8:32
Kurabas spelled Kurabati. And then I did a stupid rhyme, didn't I
8:36
Nah, I can't get it. That's annoying. All right, that's Wellington. Papua New Guinea is Port Moresby
8:41
And Naru is Yaren. That would be Tonga. Come on, I can get Tonga in the next two minutes
8:46
I'm sure it's Huku Alofa. I really am. What have I done wrong there
8:50
That must be ridiculously close. I'm going to Google it. Oh, it's Nuku Alofa
8:55
Oh, there we go. All right, let's give up. What was I forgetting there
8:59
Tarawa. Yeah, it's just not a very good rhyme that I've got, is it? So let's say that tara goes on holiday in kirabas, but it's just not as nice as she thought it was
9:07
So she's going wah wah wah tara wah. Okay, this is the one palau that would of course be
9:13
Gurul mud. There we go. Everyone knows that australia is canberra. New zealand is wellington
9:19
There we go kirabas is of course tara wah. Yeah, there we go tonga is nuku
9:25
Here we go alofa. Yeah Siwa no, no, no suva papua new guinea port
9:31
Moresby, there we go, Vanuatu My mind has just gone completely blank
9:35
I just can't think of it, oh for god's sake It's Port Villa, why do I forget that one
9:39
Samoa, that would be, Apia Of course, Tuvalu, Funafuti Thank you, Naru is
9:45
Yaren, there we go, Micronesia Is Palikir Palikir, there we go, Marshlands
9:51
Is Majuro, Solomon Islands This is the final one, that is of course Hon Ni Ara
10:00
It's all come down to Solomon Islands again Oniagra Something like that
10:06
I'm so close Right, I give up again What is it? Oniara One last time
10:11
Speed it up slightly Suva Oh, here we go Solomon Islands, right Oniara
10:18
There we go Right, from here I mean, I must have it, surely All right, down to the final four
10:23
Martial Islands is Majuro Kiribati is Sarawak Tuvalu is Funafu And finally, Papua New Guinea is Port Moresby
10:35
100%. We've learnt all 40 capitals of Oceania. And now I just need to learn how to pronounce them all correctly
10:40
Thank you very much for watching. I will keep practicing so that these come more naturally to me
