This is so cool and creative! Good job Grandpa :)

Scotch on the rocks

Whoa, that's awesome!

i don't see shetland!

It almost looked like Neptune at a brief glance lol

I joined the navy to see the world, what did I see, I saw the sea. I joined the navy to meet some girls, what did I see, I saw the see We saw the Pacific and the Atlantic But the Atlantic isn't romantic And the Pacific isn't what it's cracked up to be

Yay a "map" that has New Zealand on it!

I think I can just about see Atlantis lol

WIth Erdogan still denying it, and calling us germans Nazi's for officially recognizing it as genocide

Please read “Horrors of Adana” by a scholar named Der Matossian. It is a STUNNING book about exactly this genocide.

The word "slavery" evolved from the Ottoman Empire - their vicious treatment of the Slavic nations :: Constantinople now Istanbul/Turkey and further back Byzantium was the Muslim Ottoman Capital :: the Ottoman Empire was on the side of the Germans then Nazis in the 2 World Wars

I have an Armenian friend here in California. It was a thing!

Here we go again. It's never enough to educate illiterate people like you. For those who want to research this, I can summarize it for you: 1. Unlike the bloodthirsty European kingdoms or empires, the Ottoman Empire allowed everyone, regardless of religion or race, to coexist peacefully for hundreds of years. They ensured the protection of everyone’s rights, not just the Armenians. However, when the empire weakened, some Armenians formed gangs and murdered their innocent neighbors and friends, killing Muslims en masse, regardless of age, sex, or status. With the empire's forces occupied elsewhere, there was no official intervention, and only ordinary people fought back. In response, the empire declared the Armenians traitors and murderers and forced them into exile. Some died during this exile. 2. They continued killing Turkish officials worldwide because they love to kill. 3. They silenced every historian opposed to their claims. 4. They and their allies never agreed to fully open the archives to discover the truth. 5. There are Armenians living in Turkey today. Frankly, I would expect the same killings from them if we were as weak as back then. Check the massacres and genocide attemps they applied on Azerbaijan people a few decades ago. 6. The Armenian prime minister declared that no such thing happened in history and that they need to make peace and abandon the lies they live with. There are many reasons to know the truth, but they continue to educate people with that lie. They can't give up easily because the diaspora would cut the support they get from Western allies to weaken Turkey. You will still believe this lie because you like the idea that the Turks did this. Because the Turks are Muslim, you feel compelled to damage them. Don't be fooled and believe the lies they tell. They started a genocide and were exiled to save the people. It's unbelievable to act as the victim when you are the murderer.

I'm sorry, but England to Louisiana.... that's a huge difference in climate in a relatively short distance!

Um...Los Angeles is NOT in Southern Nevada. The name you are looking for is Las Vegas.

So I went from a climate like Louisiana to a climate like Alaska. Big difference

I live in Northern India/Thailand!

The one little bit of Finland lol

Not true. The stereotype of the French that's repeated here is simply not true. I've lived in France (and CH) for more than 20 years and my French accent is still far from perfect, but not once has any French person been anything other than pleased and supportive of my efforts at their language.

I'm always kind with people who try to speak French with me, even if don't understand a single word. Our grammar is so illogical that even exceptions have exceptions!

Nah for France. If you can speak it with any sort of sense (not even fluency), they will be very excited and happy.

I find it so weird how English speakers expect everyone to know the language, and are upset when they realize that not everyone does. There are some pretty stupid politicians in my country, but I have to respect somebody speaking in their second, or even third language publicly.

If you say Bonjour and you ask IN FRENCH if they speak english and then stumble along in C+ high school French even Parisians are lovely. Or at least no worse than anyone living in a big city with more to their lives then helping some lost tourists

A lot of mistakes in this map (geologist here). Not all Spain should be in orange, central and western France should be. Part of UK should be, southern Germany, Sweden. I also do like the idea that the danger stops at a country border, it's so funny.

What are you playing at Luxembourg?

Poor old this, poor old that, nobody gives a £u€# about Romania. Check this out https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/1977_Vrancea_earthquake#:~:text=The%20earthquake%20killed%20about%201%2C578,Popescu.

The only, and very small, earthquake that I ever experienced was about 22 years ago, in the UK. It was around 01:00 in the morning, and we were getting ready to go to bed and there was this vast rumbling noise, like someone bowling a huge bowling ball, and the whole street rushed out yelling "What was THAT?". One and only experience. Thanks be.

Those darn tectonic plates with their crashing and smashing into each other.
