Giant Dinosaur is Drumheller Alberta! There’s there a dinosaur museum there too with a massive collection of fossils, it’s what the town is mostly know for tbh.
yeah Smithfield is close to Farringdon, walked past it a bunch taking a shortcut through to get the DLR from Bank. London is both terrifyingly big and terrifyingly small.
13:13 You missed the Alberta flag next to the Canadian one (giant T-rex) 17:26 The thing the horseman and the dragon are standing on is an outline of Ukraine, no plates necessary
I didn't even notice it when I played the round! When he zoomed out while I was watching his game, I realized it was the shape of Ukraine 😆 The coat of arms is over Kyiv, too
That Jeddah coverage looks like it was before the circuit was hastily built in 2021, I may be wrong though! The circuit is actually planned to be temporary (for F1 at least), as a permanent track is being constructed as part of the Qiddiya entertainment megaproject happening just outside of Riyadh, which will also include a Six Flags, and various other smaller projects. I don’t have a good grasp on all of the details as this is just what I read off of Wikipedia and a few other websites, but it’s an interesting piece of city development. Aside from that, it’s so cool to see the creativity of everybody, it feels like there will be a map of pretty much anything at this point!
14:05 The axe was mainly created because NB has a longstanding history of logging/forestry and towns like Nackawic only really exist because of the mills that use to be the most importabt part of town.
The one that you’re like ‘this doesn’t feel way up there’ on the reindeer one isn’t Sarvinjemi, it’s Inari! I’ve been there a few times, my ex actually lived just out of town from there! Only place I had reindeer on pizza.. you’re looking at Siida, an amazing museum of Saami history, and just around the corner is the Saami Parliament!
I have seen that place with the people dressed as animals before, maybe on Geowizards channel or something. But I could not remember where it was, apart from somewhere in Texas...

I once saw a baby deer while riding my mountain bike on abandoned roads in the mountains near my city. Didn't even know deer lived here. Wish I had taken a photo of it, but it ran away so damn fast 😢
The identity of the last statue is relatively simple to decipher if you enjoyed thorough universal education. In most cases a depiction of a man on horseback slaying a dragon with a spear is St. George. St. George is a legendary Christian saint and martyr, said to have died under Diocletian around the year 300. His story and its historical roots are unclear. A legend about a dragon slayer by the name of Gregor who rid the land of a tyrannical dragon in exchange for the people to get baptised stems from the 12th century and can be found in the medieval text collection _Legenda aurea._ Saint George is one of the arch martyrs in the Orthodox Church, which fits to Ukraine. Interestingly, he is also one of the patrons of England - in fact, the flag of England (red cross on white) is the Saint George‘s Cross.
Holy crap! I called that Qatar round! I said they look like Indians with the Hindu statue but I thought they were migrant workers in Qatar for the World Cup.
