大家好，地理爱好者们！

祝在美国以及其他一些国家的朋友们劳动节快乐！

我想这可能意味着很多同学要开学了！

你们要学习新知识啦！

还有其他等等。我小时候讨厌上学。

好吧，不是讨厌上学，而是讨厌作业。

所以我觉得芬兰的教育体系可能是世界上最好的之一，因为他们几乎禁止了作业。

不过，我只是说说而已。

But, I'm just saying.

对了，正如大家所知，我们刚刚完成了关于萨尔瓦多的视频

和每周国旗秀，这意味着每次完成四集视频后，

我们需要花一些时间研究并准备下一集的素材。

但通常情况下，我会在研究期间让频道暂时空置，

不上传任何内容，然后你们就会开始担心，

“哎，发生了什么？”

为了配合开学季，

我想，为什么不带大家了解一下我如何进行研究

以及制作这些视频的过程——这需要花费很多精力。

我们第一个要研究的国家是赤道几内亚。

说实话，我对这个国家了解不多。

我知道它是非洲唯一一个官方语言是西班牙语的国家。

我知道它的首都位于一个岛上。

我想它叫“比奥科”或者类似的名字。

我知道这个国家拥有石油资源。

就这些了。我真的不太了解其他信息。

那么，朋友们，让我们一起研究吧！

或者，你们可以看着我进行研究。

系好安全带，这将是一段引人入胜的旅程。

我通常做的第一件事，就是查看收到的邮件，看看有没有来自即将出现在视频中的国家的地理爱好者们发来的邮件。

正如大家看到的，我的邮箱里有一个侧边栏，

So as you can see, my email, there's a side bar

里面有很多用国家名称命名的文件夹。

这些文件夹里都存放着来自这些国家、观看我们节目的地理爱好者们发来的邮件。

通常情况下，当我需要帮助时，我会点击其中一个文件夹，阅读大家发来的信息，

有时我会把这些信息用在视频里。

例如，这里是丹麦的邮件。

For example, see here, this one is Denmark.

这些人都来自丹麦，或者他们是丹麦专家——我不太清楚，他们都是了解丹麦的人。

顺便说一句，感谢丹麦，你们的视频获得了最高的观看量！

耶！

不过，正如大家看到的，当我向下滚动时，

只有一个人给我发了来自赤道几内亚的邮件。

他的名字是Jordi。（略微抱怨一下不擅长发音西班牙名字）

当我收到他的邮件时，我激动地说：“太棒了！你是第一个来自赤道几内亚的人，这真是太荣幸了，很高兴认识你，哈哈哈哈。”

然后我给他发了很多问题。

然后他回复说：

“好的。我会在48小时内回复你。”

所以，我只能等着他给我发信息了。

与此同时——

当我不幸没有收到来自研究国家的任何人的邮件时，

我有时会直接致电华盛顿特区的使馆，询问他们是否能提供帮助。

这通常是联系到该国人士的最简单方法。

那么，让我们现在试试看！

好的……华盛顿特区……使馆……啊！

找到了。这里有电话号码。

好的。现在拨打华盛顿特区的使馆电话！

好的，我打开免提。

“您好，感谢致电赤道几内亚大使馆。”

“如果您知道分机号，请立即拨打。”

我不知道任何人的分机号。

“请稍等，我们将为您转接。”

好的，我等待一下。“感谢您的来电。”

好的，我继续等待。

“您已连接到赤道几内亚大使馆的一般语音信箱。”

“目前没有人可以接听您的电话。”

“请留下您的姓名、电话号码和简短留言，我们将尽快回电。”

结果我发现大使馆现在已经关门了！

这让我很沮丧，因为我住在西海岸，而他们远在东海岸，

所以有3个小时的时差，很难协调。我忘了，现在不是下午5点，

这太让人困惑了。

所以我想现在我们只能自己进行研究了。

一个我经常使用的资源是美国中央情报局（CIA）的世界概况。

One source is really like to use is CIA World Factbook.

这个网站很好，因为它对每个国家的各个方面都进行了概括性的介绍。

包括背景、地理、人口、文化、经济、政府等等。

美国中央情报局世界概况，走起！

好的，我们到了。

赤道几内亚。呦呼，耶！

哇哦。地图、国旗，好的。

哦，我得记下来。

背景

“西班牙统治了190年。”

这个要写进稿子里！

“特奥多罗·奥比昂·恩圭马·姆巴索果”

他做了什么？

这是我学到的另一件事。这个国家的首任总统简直太疯狂了，就像

我知道很多独裁者都很疯狂，但这家伙简直是病态。

他基本上把整个国库偷走了，放在自己家里……他驱逐了全国三分之一的人口……

杀害了数千人。然后还有那次他在马尔博体育场让他的士兵们穿上——

这有点过头了！

我把这个留到视频里说吧。

你们就等着看吧。

好的，显然他们是

非洲最富有的国家之一。

我想知道为什么……

当然喜欢石油带来的财富！

让我们变得富有，直到石油枯竭！

（轻笑）这里有一个名为“布比”的部落。

嗯，他们似乎有一个名为2020计划的东西，旨在实现经济多元化，

这样他们就不会完全依赖石油。

海湾国家都在尝试这样做，但……

我们拭目以待。

还能找到什么信息呢？

好的，这个地方似乎是灵长类动物的天堂——有猴子、钻猴

还有（停顿），（停顿），还有猿类、大猩猩。

然而，国家动物却是长颈鹿。

努力了解这个国家！

赤道几内亚！

我没有节奏感和旋律。

还有国际流行歌星Anfibio，他在欧洲巡演。

同时也是一名心脏病专家。

他是一位流行歌星，同时也是一名心脏病专家。

为什么不呢？

当他们跳舞时，他们会在上面撒上白色粉末——什么？

我得找一张图片看看。

好的，你知道吗？我们为什么不看一些关于赤道几内亚的YouTube视频呢？

好的，让我们看看。

“赤道几内亚……”

这是什么视频？

好的，“国家画像：赤道几内亚第一部分”。

由maeci19087发布

好的，这看起来可能有点信息量。为什么不呢？

好的。哦，是的，那里有海滩。

风景宜人，而且，人们把东西顶在头上。

我们努力工作！

每个人都在欢笑！！

欢笑，这是一个有趣、快乐的时刻。

欢乐，欢乐。让我们都讲笑话，一起快乐吧。

在海滩上奔跑、慢跑和演奏音乐。

足球，足球，足球。

¡Vamos a jugar fútbol!（让我们踢足球！）

抱歉，我的邻居养狗，每天都会发生，我有时对此感到很恼火。

好的，这个视频很酷。让我们看另一个。

好的，这里有一个。它叫做“马拉博-赤道几内亚”由Arejo Kun发布。

显然，也是——我在看右下角，

它显示timepro.tv。所以我想他们也以某种方式隶属于这个网站，但

它在Arejo Kun的频道上。所以……我只是在审查它。

让我们看看这是关于什么的。

看起来很酷。

哦，好的，有音乐。

哦，哇。我想这一定是马拉博，首都，因为视频的名字叫马拉博。

我喜欢这首音乐。

开车，开车在道路右侧行驶。

我想这是我学到的另一个事实。

他们靠右行驶。

好的，我喜欢这首音乐，但现在有人要说话了吗？

好的。酷。好吧，我想整个视频只是音乐和航拍镜头。

这没什么问题！我只是说，你知道——

有时我更喜欢人们说话，了解这些镜头中正在发生的事情，但你知道……

随便吧。好的，这个视频是什么？“赤道几内亚——通往非洲的门户”英语版。

哦，好的，至少我知道有人会在这段视频中说话。

由GLTV/全球电视发布。

天啊！这个视频有23分钟长，呃。

我的意思是，我会看的。但我不会让你们忍受观看我观看它的折磨。

[23分钟后]

好的，我刚看完

这实际上是一部相当不错的纪录片。

它都是关于石油、石油、石油、石油、石油！

所以我想我从所有这些研究中得到的最大收获是

这个国家说西班牙语，石油资源丰富，

而且有一个疯狂的过去。

但他们仍在努力让事情变得更好。

但仍然存在一些争议。

而且人们非常具有艺术天赋。

我不知道，我会弄清楚剩下的。

好吧，这很有趣，希望大家喜欢看我

……研究。

因为这绝对是人们喜欢做的事情。

看别人研究。

但说真的，我得到很多有用的信息。

No but seriously, I gotta a lot of good stuff.

我把它写在稿子里了。

现在我只需要把所有东西整合起来。

应该准备好了，当我们拍摄时

也许这周，所以赤道几内亚，我会让这个国家为之自豪。

然后当那个家伙给我发邮件时，他会告诉我所有的一切，与我刚刚研究的完全相反。

但我认为我自己的研究做得还不错，所以——

我们拭目以待。赤道几内亚，准备好了。

好的，下一个是厄立特里亚。

敬请期待。

Hey geograpeeps!

Happy Labor Day for those of you in the US and I think some other countries.

I guess that means alot of you guys and subscribers have to go back to school!

You have to learn things!

And all that. I hated school as a kid.

Well, no, I didn't hate school. I hated homework.

Which is why I think Finland actually has probably one of the best

schooling/education programs, because they kinda ban homework.

But, I'm just saying.

But yeah, so as you guys know, we just finished the El Salvador video

and Flag Friday, so that means now, everytime after we finish 4 episodes,

we gotta take a little time off to research and work on the next 4 episodes.

But usually when I do that, I kinda leave the channel a little empty

and I don't really upload anything for a couple of weeks and then you guys get all nervous,

like, "ah what's going on?"

So, in the spirit of going back to school,

I figured, why don't I just kinda take you guys behind the scenes and show you how I do my reseach

and how I kinda of go about the process of making these videos - it takes alot of work.

So the first country we're doing is Equatorial Guinea.

Now, I don't really know alot about this country.

I know that it's the only Spanish-speaking country in Africa.

I know that the capital is on an island.

I think it's called "Bioco" or something.

I know that there's like something with oil in the country.

And that's about it. I don't really know anything else.

So come along, friends! And let's research together!

Or, you guys can just watch me do research.

Strap in tight guys, this is gonna be a fascinating journey.

So the very first thing I usually do is I read my emails that you guys, the geograpeeps,

send to me if you are from the countries that are coming up in the video series.

So as you can see, my email, there's a side bar

with a bunch of folders labelled with countries.

These are all folders of people that have contacted us from those countries

who watch the show, you guys, the geograpeeps

and typically when I need help, I click on one of the folders and I read whatever you guys send me

and I sometimes use that information in the videos.

For example, see here, this one is Denmark.

These people are all from Denmark, or they're Danish, or - I don't know, they're experts of Denmark.

By the way, shout out to Denmark for being the #1 video with the #1 views!

Yaahh!

As you can see, though, as I scroll down,

I only have one person that contacted me from Equatorial Guinea.

His name is Jordi. (rambles a bit about how he doesn't know how to pronounce Spanish names)

So when he emailed me, I like "YES! You are the first person from Equatorial Guinea and this is a huge honor, nice to meet you hahahaha."

And then I sent him a ton of questions.

And then he was like:

"Okay. I'll get back to you in the next 48 hours."

So, can't really do much with that. I gotta wait for him to send me some information.

So in the meantime -

So, one thing I do when I don't ahve anybody from the country I'm researching

to contact, is sometimes I usually just call up the embassy in Washington DC and ask them if they can help me.

It's typically the easiest way to get someone from that country.

So let's see if we can do that right now!

Alright... Washington D.C..... Embassy... Ah!

There we go. And here's the number.

Alright. Gonna call the embassy in Washington D.C.!

Alright, I'll put it on speaker.

"Hello and thanks for calling the embassy of Equatorial Guinea."

"If you know your party's extension, you may dial it now."

I don't know anybody.

"Remain on the line for operator assistance."

Okay, I'll wait. "Thank you for calling."

Alright, I'll wait on the line.

"You have reached the general company mailbox of the embassy of Equatorial Guinea."

"There's no one here to take your call right now."

"Please leave your name, number, and a brief message and somebody will return your call as soon as possible."

So it turns out I didn't realize the embassy is closed right now!

And it's frustrating because I live on the west coast and they're all the way on the east coast,

so there's a 3 hour time difference, so it's hard to coordinate. I forgot, it's not 5 PM over there,

it's - ah! - confusing.

So I guess now we're gonna have to do some

- personal research.

One source is really like to use is CIA World Factbook.

This is a pretty good one, because they kinda do a general overview on every facet of the country.

They do the background, the geography, the people, culture, and the economy, government, everything, so -

CIA World Factbook, let's go.

Alright, so here we are.

Equatorial Guinea. Yoo-hoo, yaa-haa.

Woo-hoo. Maps, flag, alright.

Ooh, I gotta write that down.

Background

"190 years of Spanish rule."

That's going in the script!

"Teodoro Obiang Nguema Mbasogo"

He made them do what?

That's another thing I learned. The first president of this country was pretty freaking crazy, like

I know a lot of dictators are crazy, but this guy was like sociopathic on another level.

He basically stole the entire treasury and put it in his house... he drove out a third of his entire country...

Murdering thousands of people. And then there was that incident were he went into the Mailbo Stadium and told his soldiers to dress -

That's a little too much!

I'm gonna save that for the episode.

You'll just have to wait and see what happens.

Okay, apparentally they are

one of the richest countries in Africa.

I wonder why...

Gotta love that oil money!

Making us rich until it dries out!

(chuckles) There's a tribe called the "Bubi."

Well, apparently they have this thing called the 2020 plan in which they're trying to diversify their economy

so that they're not completely dependent on oil.

All the Gulf countries are trying to do that too, but...

We'll see how that pans out.

What else can we find out?

Okay, so apparently this place is like a haven for primates - there's monkeys, there's mandrils

There's (?), (?), there's apes, there's gorillas.

Yet the national animal is the giraffe.

Tryin' to learn about the country!

Of Equatorial Guinea!

I have no rythmn or melody.

There's also the international pop star Anfibio who toured across Europe.

Who's also a cardiologist.

He's a pop star and he's a cardiologist.

Why not?

When they dance, they put white powder on th- what?

I gotta find an image of that.

Okay, you know what? Why don't we just watch some YouTube videos on Equatorial Guinea, shall we?

Okay, so let's see.

"Equatorial guinea..."

What's this video?

Okay, "Portrait of a Nation: Equatorial Guinea Part 1".

By maeci19087

Okay, that looks like it could probably be a little bit informative. Why not?

Okay. Oh yeah, there's a beach.

It's so lovely, and og, people carrying things on their heads.

We're working hard!

Everybody's laughing!!

Laughing, it's such a fun, happy time.

Jolly, jolly. Let's all tell jokes and be happy together.

And run and jog on the beach and play music.

Football, football, football.

¡Vamos a jugar fútbol! (Let’s play football!)

Sorry, my neighbors have dogs, it happens every day, I'm so annoyed by it sometimes.

Okay, so that was cool. Let's move on to another one.

Okay, here's one. It's called "Malabo-Equatorial guinea" By Arejo Kun.

Apparently also - I'm looking at the bottom corner,

it says timepro.tv. So I guess they're also affiliated with this somehow, but

it's on Arejo Kun's channel. So.. I'm just reviewing it.

Let's see what this is all about.

Looks pretty cool.

Ooh, okay, music.

Ooh, wow. I'm guessing that's Malabo, the capital, since the video's called Malabo.

I'm diggin' this music.

Driving, driving on the right side of the road.

I guess that's another fact I learned.

They drive on the right side.

Okay, I like this music, but is anybody gonna talk now, or?

Okay. Cool. Alright, I guess this whole video is just music and stock footage aerial view shots.

Nothing wrong with that! I'm just saying, you know -

Sometimes I prefer people talking and learning what's going on IN these shots, but you know..

Whatever. Okay, what's this video? "Equatorial Guinea - the Gateway to Africa" in English.

Oh, okay, so atleast I know someone's gonna be speaking in this video.

It's by GLTV/Global Television.

Ugh! This video's like 23 minutes long, uh.

I mean, I'll watch it. But I'm not gonna put you guys through the torture of watching me watch it.

[23 minutes later]

Okay, so I just finished watching it

and that was actually a pretty good documentary.

It's all about oil, oil, oil, oil, OIL!

So I guess the biggest things I'm taking away from all this research is that

it's a country that speaks Spanish, they're heavy on oil,

and it has a crazy past.

But they're still trying to make things better.

But there's still some controversey.

And people are very artistic.

And I don't know, I'll figure out the rest.

Well that was fun, hope you guys enjoyed watching me

...research.

Cause that's totally a thing that's

...that people love doing.

Watching people research.

No but seriously, I gotta a lot of good stuff.

I wrote it in the script.

Now I just gotta piece everything together.

And it should be ready to go and when we film

maybe this week, so Equatorial Guinea, I think I'll do the country proud.

And then when that guy e-mails me he's gonna tell me everything the complete opposite of everything I just researched.

But I think I did pretty well for myself in my own research, so -

We'll see. Equatorial Guinea, get ready.

Alright, next is gonna be Eritrea.

Stay tuned.
