American Texan Reacts to Geography Now! | Slovakia | PPPeter's here! | Part 1 

Other countries : Ski lifts Slovakia: Lol, Amateurs

PSA: Slovaks don't eat frogs. I've literally never even heard of that "edible" frog in my whole life.

To be fair, as a Slovak I just want to point out that idk from where they got the infromation that we eat frogs, it is not true, we are not a France lol

The car cable way isn't actually usable by the public. Its used in a factory to transport cars between the manufacturing area and a test track

Another crazy thing about Slovakia: In 2012 Slovaks voted for the name of a new pedestrian and cycling bridge connecting Slovakia and Austria. The public poll won "Chuck Norris Bridge" with 74% of votes. God knows why, but Bratislava regional assembly didn't like the result so they renamed it to "Bridge of Freedom". Fortunately, Google and other big companies have already published the name Chuck Norris to their maps (and it's there to this day:). I guess we beated Chuck Norris. We're crossing him daily.

I am proud of you for this reaction of my country. 😁👌

Please do his Slovakia series its really fun and informative

Re Petržalka - i think usually mountain peaks and rivers were used to define the borders therefore it's a bit "off" as it is on the other side of Danube 😉 re alcohol- I'm surprised he mentioned borovicka but not slivovica. Re czech visiting mountains it's more like - just dont wear slippers if you go up there and you'll be fine. You'd be surprised how many people are going to mountains dressed like to shopping center..

1) During WW2 the not so kind man from Germany claimed Petržalka and it belonged to Germany. 2) The cable car for cars is actually in a VolksWagen (VW) auto fabric. They are transporting new cars from a couloring station thing 3) We make jokes about dead Czechs in the Mountains because many Czechs injured there.

My country: 🇸🇰

Fun fact in Slovakia we have build tall place for Storks in i guess every village and every yeah some come there and live there until summer end

So in Slovakia about 2 years ago in 2018 RU-vidr named Duklock made two groups of Czechs the good Czech/-s = Čech/Čechovia and the bad Czech/-s = češko/češkovia So anytime Czechs will call us Northern-Hungarians or Maďari in Slovak we would just say to them Češko

About the confusion between other countries: My grandpa worked at Žilina airport (NW Slovakia) and he said that foreigners would regularly arrive at this airport, but with tickets to Zlín. Zlín is in Czech Republic maybe 80km from Žilina.

About Petrzalka, the border was firstly set by the river Danube but during the war Bratislava was getting shot by cannons from the other side of river Danube, so the border is now set as it is and Petrzalka and the other land is under Slovakia (at least I believe I’m right) Btw, greetings from Slovakia 😊

Never never never pre-drink before you go out with Slovaks... :D

I'm watching from Czech and this is really good🤣🤣🤣

in the east of Slovakia we have lot of "kapurkova" (last shots) - before leaving you have to go through a lot of doors and behind every door there must be a "kapurkova" :) - in the East Slovak dialect is "kapurka" - the door

I was waiting for this lol

I didn't know ,,kraje" have flags lol and I'm Slovak

4:23 Probably he said it's not Austria because in Petrzalka there is a tri-point border point that traveled around the area all time. During the WWII it ran across the current center of the city. Before the end of the WWII the area of Petrzalka was called in german Engerau but it consisted of several small villages that provided the city of Bratislava with agricultural products. After the WWII the area of Petrzalka fell to Czechoslovakia, and the communists probably wanted to claim the new lang by building what is now the biggest housing estate in the Central Europe made of "panel houses". The panel houses are known as "khrushchyovkas" and "brezhnevkas" adopted from the Soviet Union model. Today, when you are approaching Bratislava from Austria by highway you start seeing Bratislava's castle with a panorama of Brezhnevkas, that is not to say "look how beautiful we build", it is to say "this land is ours"

Great Video, bro! Keep up the good work

Your reacts is so good. Hellos from Turkey!

Eating frog part is completly wrong, I mean COMPLETLY. If you would tell the frog can be eaten to some old slovak guy, who never heard of France, he would think you are mental.

Bro I love your videos about PPPíter and my country❤️

they forgot potato sausages = Droby and alcohol with peaces of bacon = Hriatô.

Hey. Kapurkova isn't just the shot for the road. It's the last shot before leaving. Last as that there already was some drinking going on before leaving :D

We don't eat frogs, we sent them to our friends in France, no offense 😁

Love your content Hi from Slovakia

The thing with Petržalka borough (Engerau in German) is on the other side of the Danube river and the state border is literally hundreds of meters from the blocks of flats. Like there's a Slovak building, a road, a piece of a field and BAM Austria. The Danube used to be the state border, in fact it was a state border for quite some time and a strategic place during the wars. Bratislava was a part of the kIngdom of Hungary. The first bridge of Bratislava (then Pressburg) was opened by Emperor Franz Joseph (in 1889).

About that meadow with "ground squirrels" - last year there was such a storm there that the rain water tore down a road that went around that meadow and flooded the meadow so most of the squirrels were drowned.. but volunteers managed to save some of them and now the meadow is again a paradise for these little animals (which are primarily the food source for eagles :D ). The reconstruction of the road should be finished later this year.

Amazing video. Even though we are carefull with drinking before driving a car if i know right. I kinda miss my city there. It was totally burn down 3 times and it still stands. Thank you for your video. I'm happy that someone from USA know about us ( and PPPETER ).

During ww2 Hitler tore off Petržalka and gave it to Austria

Funy story about how the other side of Danube river became part of Slovakia, by the end of WW one when the Hungary was almost defeated one czecho slovak general took his troops and cross the bridge and with out fireing single bullet the exhausted hungarian soldier that were guarding that part of land surrenderd and from that day it bacame part of Czechoslovakia ...

Awesome video!

The car cableway is located within VW automotive plant. It was used to transport new cars from the assembly line to the test track. It´s out of order for now.

The joke with Czechs dying in Tatras - Since they don't have mountains and our brother are passionate travellers they are often visiting our mountains. Passionate does not mean skilled unfortunately. Most deaths in Tatras belongs to them. We are so used to hear it on news that we started to be callous towards it This is our dark humor. Enjoy

That cars cableway is in VW factory. It is for new cars to transport on train and then by train around the world

Ahem '' commonly eaten frog'' that i never heard of... Now im scared of whats in that hot dog.

Im from slovakia and my city is Trenčín

4:29 maybe because it is over the Danube river and Danube is the border in that place from Devín till Karlova Ves (parts of Bratislava district)

I'm from Czech Republic and my husband is Slovak, when I started driving in Slovakia I just feel pretty save... It's because of police in every Bush around 🤣. So they don't drink so much when they are going to drive, I don't even see so much of speeding. But my opinion might be wrong because in czechia there is low amount of police around roads... I have driving license for 6-7 years and they don't even stopped me 🤣🤣. So u could imagine how it's looks like on roads 🙂.

Today is a game day :D Slovakia- USA, quaterfinals od IIHF WC 2021. I hoping the Slovakia goes to win. Slovenskooooooooooo

Car cable way is used by Volkswagen Automotive used to transport newly manufactured cars.

I moved to Banska Bystrica from Dallas.Fantastic!!! I never want to go back to U.s.a.I love both countries,but here id finaly home.Please come and visit...my Slovakia.

Petrzalka is on the other side of Danube from Bratislava. The same side as Austria is (and Hungary). There was Austrian settlement there named Engerau before and also during WWII that part was actually taken over by Austria = Nazi Germany.

Dang you should visit Czechoslovakia, you already know so much about us 😌❤️.. Love from Czechia 🇨🇿..

13:35 Kia Motors Slovakia, the first Hyundai Group plant in Europe ! Close to Žilina, behind You can see Small Fatra mountains with castle of Strečno

About Petržalka .. the reason its pointed out is that basically the whole Wester and the Western half of the Southern border are located on rivers. except at the south west tip where the border suddenly leaves the rivers creating the enclave belonging to Slovakia

The thing about monthly meetups between Slovak and Slovenian embassy even I didnt know about that :D and I am from Slovakia.

7:30 "That car cable thing" is in Volkswagen Slovakia, Bratislava. about Czechoslovak fortification : en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Czechoslovak_border_fortifications

the cable car for cars is due to the fact that it is cheaper to transport cars the way it is to refuel everyone

Please two part 😅🥺

Petržalka is the part of Bratislava. Its something like parts in New York. Queens, Brooklyn and more.. Bratislava has Petržalka, Ružinov, Vrakuňa and more…

ofc, that part of Bratislava named Petrzalka belonged to Austria, it was a war field front of the city, than it was bounded to Slovakia, i dont remember the conditions now, its a only piece of land on the right side of Danube river, as usually, the lefts side belongs to Slovakia and the right side to Hungary and so on...and car cable lifst is located in volkswagen facotry to move cars from the factory to the parking field only, i think this is a common over the world, not only here :D

Us Slovaks are used to drunk driving, one friend of mine was drunk as hell and drove 40miles all the way back home lol

You don't only take a shot before you leave... last one but not the only one :D

4:28 yep, right before WWII, that part of Bratislava was captured by Hungary

Can you react to The Napoleonic Wars - OverSimplified

In the second world war the city-part of Petržalka was under German controll ( since Austria was too, many misunderstand that as being part of Austria for several years during the war ).

Regarding the joke about the tourist death in the Tatras... I mean it's a running joke, because like maybe 70% of accidents always happen to czech people or at least those are the more televised ones. That's where the point of the joke comes from. The point is: If someone died in the Tatras... it had to be a Czech :D

Most of a records "the best in per population" are caused by a small population. 287.5person/sq mi. Which is very little for Central Europe.

oh man thanks i am from slovakia and pppeter is an friend of ducklock that is our youtuber

Please next video - geography now Czech Repulic

Well... if you are (un)lucky you can see a bear pretty much from close - last week or so one was going around the station of cable-way in High Tatras, they had to lock the doors so it would not go inside... one of the tourist even asked if that was a pet bear and who is taking care of it... but it was a wild bear. The towns in High Tatras have their garbage cans in cages so the bears won't rummage through them.

The last shot before You go is "to the third leg"... 😉

To be more correct Czechia has a lot of mountains too. Mainly around whole our border. But they are not as tall as Tatry. That's why Slovaks makes jokes about Czechs. Our highest mountain is just 1602m high.

Very interesting video but We dont eat frogs!!!😂

I was In Levoča, omg that Cage….

Kapurkova ("last shot") is actually slightly misinterpreted. "Kapura" the base of that word means gate, so when your guests are leaving you customarily accompany them to your entry doors, in rural areas you would accompany them to the edge of your property where... you guessed it!... the gate is located. So the "last farewell" you said to your guests would be at the gate,... and since we slovaks are in fact very thirsty, we drink, so the "last goodbye/last farewell" would turn into last drink before you leave - gate shot - kapurkova. Then it turned to any shot you'd drink when leaving ... the drinking event. So yes,... not to drink it would be like refusing to say goodbye before leaving, probably why its considered disrespectful

cable car was in car factory and I knew it because I am from Slovakia

7:32 i see it almost every day

Im from Slovakia

Hey hey hey shut up! I looked up statistics and Polish hold the first place when it comes to tourist deaths in Tatars sooo... Czech mate! We are not the worst, I guess...😂

What are you talking about? I love the christmas carp! :D

We do NOT eat frogs.

Petržalka is the biggest "ghetto" part of town with lots of apartment buildings

Omg i'm from slovakia 😂

"kapurková" heh :D

You should react to geography noe norway

4:10 NO PETRZALKA is near the border of austria so a lot of peoploe claim it belongs to austria but it is not like that

I would say that a frog meal can be some delicacy in a luxury restaurant, but most Slovaks do NOT eat frogs at all. I am 39 years old and had not eaten a single dish with frog yet. I had not seen a frog dish in any menu in any Slovak restaurant, actually. Snails, yes, but no frogs. :D Gary, did not do his homework well, LOL! :D

lol i got this in my recommended and im slovakian

He stressed that it belongs to Slovakia just because some Danube and Morava rivers are natural borders, so in few parts of the West.. You can be on Slovak side of river but receive like Austrian / Hungarian reception

I come from Slovakia

In from Czech republic

Im slovak 🇸🇰

I am from Slovakia

Hello Mathew, I am Egyptian, and can you make reacts about videos about Egypt, not necessarily from Geography now, just any video about Egypt like say videos about Moahmed Ali Pasha

Slovakia was part of hungary for 1000 years

Austria doesn't care about lost Slovakia which technically belonged to Hungarian part of monarchy. In past we fight with Hungarian because southern part of Slovakia had bigger hungarian population then nowday.I think we have better relationships today.

I m Slovakia - Nitra - Levice - čajkov

Oh my god im from Slovakia but there were thing i didnt know 😂

Niekto zo Slovenska?

4:35No

There is a joke that goes like this: If you have 0,5 promile in West Slovakia then you are an alcoholic but if you have 2,69 promile in East Slovakia you can stilll drive

There is a saying in Slovakia that goes like this: There is nothing that average Slovak person couldn't steal, burn into alcohol or fry. (Nie je nič, čo by priemerný Slovák nedokázal ukradnúť, vypáliť alebo vyprážať v trojobale) 😂😂😂

I'm from Czech Republic 😂😂

Lies - last shot is inccorect not one but 5 glasses is the approximate number

🇸🇰🇸🇰🇸🇰🇸🇰🇸🇰🇸🇰🇸🇰
