Maps That Make Me Smile 

In Ireland red squirrels are recovering because our pine Martin's are recovering. The red squirrels are harder to catch than the grey. Go team red squirrels!

I'm Turkish and I'd describe our relationship with Greece as very brother-like. We hate each other's guts and fight a lot but at our core we're the same, we share a lot of our culture, cuisine and values. We just speak different languages and in hard times I like seeing that we support each other as well.

That farmer needs to build a tiny island on Neitokainen that's a to scale model of the pond.

I just hope the guy who dug the lake makes a little tiny landmass in the centre of it that also looks like Finland. and then a body of water shaped like Finland in the centre of that, and then...

9:50 Shoutouts to The Tim Traveller

Alright, entitled frenchman here. Let me explain and confirm those expressions at 1:05 : "To take a scottish shower" (prendre une douche écossaise???) ==> never heard of it. Might as well not exist. "The english have landed" (Les anglais sont arrivés) ==> I've heard it said once, definitely not common. "To slip away the english way" (filer à l'anglaise) ==> Friendly banter, nothing more. (I swear è.é ) "To talk like a spannish cow" (parler comme une vache espagnole) ==> The real expression is "To talk english like a spannish cow" (Parler anglais comme une vache espagnole), used to denote of the peculiar French way of refusing to speak English properly. "Spannish wanking" (branlette espagnole) ==> Exactly as advertised. Us french have a lot of vocabulary for a lot of very specific acts. "A spannish inn" (Une auberge espagnole) ==> Yeah, exactly that. Somewhere where everything can happen. Also the title of a cool French movie about an Erasmus student in Spain. "The russian mountains" (Les montagnes russes) ==> Ok this one is a bit off. "Montagnes Russes" is our french term for "rollercoaster", we don't have "Rouleurs-côtiers" or whatever the fuck the quebecquois translation is. So, this expression is **tangeantially** related to Russia, because it's an expression derived from an expression. "To be drunk like a Pole" (Saoul comme un Polonnais?) ==> never heard of it. We used other expressions, like "rond comme une queue de pelle" (Round like a shovel handle) to describe sunday afternoon. "A german quarrel" (Un conflit allemand?) ==> Wut? Never heard it in my life, but I definitely can see it used in northern France, especially Normandie. "A Roman's job" (un travail à la romaine? Une tâche/corvée à la romaine?) ==> never heard of it. Seems like something very old people, forced to learn latin in elementary school, would say. I cannot see the other ones, you're blocking them with that dazzling smile of yours toycat.

The thumbnail is gold.

I think it'd be cool if you went to Argentina, just to visit the Welsh-settled towns in Chubut

Greenland doesn't just seem big because of the Mercator projection; If you include it as part of Denmark, then Denmark almost makes the top 10 list for biggest countries and is the second biggest European country.

There is a black squirrel near where i live. Black squirrels are really weird to see, they're jet black all over.

In Russia we use an expression "leaving the english way" meaning "leaving without saying goodbye to anyone". Feels similar to the french one on the first map.

Ah yes, toycat’s vendetta against France continues!

That no sign on the French flag made me smile.

2:23 Honestly Brittany is funny to see in a way there, as it does mean Little Britain.

Mini france reminds me of Madurodam in Holland. We have one of those too!

The no-W map still has Western Sahara.

Very good thumbnail

I was given the nickname squirrel in school, and i have red hair. So technically, there is still 1 singular red squirrel in the Midlands 😂😂😂

The thumbnail looks like your hand naturally went into a thumbs up when you saw there is no France.

16:33 So you are saying Wales isn't a country? Finally the British have come to their senses.

Come to Argentina Toycat! We are exceedingly cheap right now and I can give you advise.

ibx2cat videos make me happy :)

Its Either Beans and Toast are Canon, or France is Canon. You cant have it both ways for the Live Action Anime Adaptation.

Finally a map that interests me

i love you're videos plese never stop

If you go to Argentina you can visit my grandpa there, he's got lots of stories to tell, but don't tell him you're English. Greetings from Germany

3:33 Funnily enough we say in Switzerland to slip away the french way. (Französischer Abgang)

where Toycat sits, is always blocking out Australia & Oceania. Is there a map or projection, where Toycat sits and doesn't block it out?

Gotta laugh at "to slip away the English way", since the English use "French exit" for the same thing

You need to make a video explaining why the Dymaxion map or Fuller map is the best map projection!

1:19 - the Polish one wasn't properly translated: It should be "(to be heavily intoxicated but still able to fulfill one's obligations}". It comes from Napoleonic wars, where Poles under Napoleon were known to always accomplish the heaviest military tasks around. And drink a lot at any other point.

4:30 - No, it's named after the famous Lord Sandwich, which is what sandwiches are named after.

Phub ads tomorrow: "All Real Live Scottish Showers! No English Landing."

in germany we have both the saying 'Poland is still open', meaning you still consider doing something mean, and the rather common 'poland is not yet lost'.

At some points I felt that maybe there's more nuance to be had, but my conclusion is this has been a joy to watch without it. Hell yeah map man, your smile is contagious 🎉🎉🎉

Me, a Norwegian intellectual: "Red squirrels? Gray squirrels? What do you mean, all squirrels are brown!"

15:06 Does Liechenstein even have a MCD? Edit: Yes it has one in Vaduz.

If you don't wan argentina or chile colapseing on you go to Uruguay it won't colapse plus i'm here so that makes uruguay epic

The mc Donalds pricing map does not include the cost of healthcare resulting from it;)

how day you get access to the countries I've visited map?

The thumbnail really made me smile😀

When you brought up the map of sandwich I saw my house

Have you ever eaten a sandwich in Sandwich? New third-channel video idea!

6:10 Actually, that's not the case for Turkey, the truth is that during Ottoman times, there was a huge mixing happening in there, so even today, you can see very fair skinned turks, with light eye colors like green and blue, same thing with hair colors, but there are also a lot of darker skinned turks, with dark hair, brown eyes. This is also true to Bulgaria, but at lesser extent. So since turks want to be considered more European, the darker skinned people are more likely to do whitening to look more European and the really light skinned ones, are likely to want to tan to follow the trend and stand out more, lol

You mentioned Cyprus, my life is complete

Has anyone ever told you that you look like a young Otto Witt from the film Zulu?

You forgot to mention at 4:30 that there is a place called 'Ham' near sandwich and there's even a sign post that points too 'Ham' and underneath points to 'Sandwich' 😁

9:54 Ooo, Toycat watches Tim Traveler!

Toycat does what Mapmen't.

17:10 is there similar map but more detailed? With sub-regions for every country.

“Covered in squirrels” 😂😂😂

In Brazil we say "Pra inglês ver" (for englishmen to see), when something is made just for looks, but no one cares about it like a useless law or something

My mom loved Argentina. For what that's worth lol

how the fuck does this man just sit in front of a camera for 20 minutes and talk without any cuts

16:35 Western Sahara! (Not recognized though but on the map it's there)

We can only be truly happy when France is gone

TALK ABOUT TURKEY TALK ABOUT TURKEY TALK ABOUT TURKEY TALK ABOUT TURKEY TALK ABOUT TURKEY MMMMMMM YEZZZZZZZZ

Fun fact on Poland, they call German "no speak" language aka barbarians. So because of WWII and other invasions they consider them barbarians. Also, Italian is called the hairy language since they are so hairy. LOL

Chile, because I've never seen a Chile vlog. Everyone goes to Rio.

Did you ben to Lithuania? Did you liked it?

Total Grey Squirrel Death... NOW!!!

Come to Argentina Toycat, i would make the best Asado for you, digital nomads love it here

The only time ive ever seen a squirrel was in London, i think it was red lol.

Wait you´ve never arrived in Calais and never been to Paris? Surprising!

17:35 Why don't they divide Switzerland in their Cantons? The only real travel achivement I got, is visiting every of the 26 Cantons. I mean I haven't seen a Sea in my live yet and I turn pretty soon 18, just saying.

Mexico mention hype!

A British person was complaining to me that he couldn't get good cajun food. Does that mean we also have to have Louisi-max-iana? If you go to Casablanca, do you have to watch the movie first? If you go to Chile, you'll have to visit that one desert in the Alps. Atacapa, something like that.

the UK was done dirty in that partition of France. Think of the old Angevin Empire!

I think i'm the only french that watch his videos

Why you always cover australia

but how do you say them in french

The sandwich was named after the English politician John Montagu, a.k.a. the 4th Earl of Sandwich

what do you mean you never saw a red squirrel? I went to the UK last month for only the 2nd time in my life (1st one was 1998) and I saw multiple in the 2 weeks I was there. Maybe not in London but man, just go outside? Edit:Ps: I'm from Germany. I didn't even know grey ones existed. Lol.

corsica: AM I A JOKE TO U

Fucking spat out my food at MAXICO hahahahah

he visited twice as many countries as I did...

5:00 ever heard of pfarthome in germany?

An Irish goodbye… am I speaking Greek?

People in Brittany are technically from Cornwall so really the uk should own that and Normandy if france didn't exist

One of my map is there

Great video. Sorry the US didn't work out. You got to marry some foolish girl there; that's the trick, then stay I think 7 years.

You've got to go to Brazil

What if france was partisioned after the napolionic wars

Within 4 hours!

when you have been in Slovakia?

Thumbnail so marcron has used all his a-booms to suppress protests, unfortunately the whole of France is now beneath the waves! LOL

Not gonna lie the france does not exist and belgium triples really hurted as a dutchman

Come to Brazil

Are we just avoiding the subject of the French phrase "Spanish Wanking"?

You've never been to Paris (ile de France)?

Denmark and Norway didn't send aid to Turkey and Syria?

don't give up on your dreams bruh

The thumbnail map used to be my school account pfp lmao

15:10 that’s incorrect bc I went there and a hamburger costs 4 francs

i love argentina and the city of buenos aires is very pretty! they just might not like you because youre british hahah

visit south africa!

We may all have different values and political views, but we can all agree the a world without the French is perfection.

16:36 what about Wales?

15:00 this is bad colored map. Difference between 1% and 10% is enormous, and this map is showing it as the same color. One outlier of 70% destroyed whole color pallet and made this map useless.
