I grew up around a bunch of Liberian refugees in the 90s, and one of the cultural things that I picked up from them is the snap-handshake thing. That is, when they shake hands, they snap their fingers, but it's a shared snap. You apply pressure with your middle finger against the other person's middle finger during the shake, so when you pull back it makes a snap. If you can do it, it's a fun way to show off cultural competency to other Liberians.

Guam suffered brutally during World War II at the hands of the Japanese, but the native Chamorros stayed loyal to us despite the occupiers' attempts to change them by force. They even did their best to keep the few surviving soldiers hidden and alive until we returned, at the risk of their own lives (sadly, only one American soldier was still alive by the 1944 recapture).

@9:33 no!!! Im a native Liberian. my family was living in Liberia during the rebel war, and rebels attacked native Liberians, Muslims, and government officials (who were native Liberian). That why my family had to escape to a refugee camp in a different country.

This is the most Chaotic episode I have seen on Geography Now

Wow I am so happy watching this in Liberia.

Isaac Witherspone that's cool

I know he was mentioned as president, but I think that for a big chunk of the world, George Weah is the most famous Liberian person who ever lived. A football legend.

Very interested and I like how funny you guys are.

You guys nailed this Liberia thing. Nice presentation. OOOooohh Liberia was one of Africa most respected and look to country; but, unending crisis strangled its respect; now, it is one of Africa forgotten and less significant countries.

YEESSS! I've been waiting for the Libya episode for so long.

This has to be one of my favourite episodes

Splendid fantastic Break Down. I love it!!!

Very interesting! That was quite impressive information. Thank you!

To be honest the Africa episodes are really my favourites.

Thanks for the video😊😊 I’m a Liberian and I’m really glad you did it... Will be willing to provide more information if you might want to do an updated version.

I give U an A for his video. I think its one of the best video out there on Liberia. Well researched, great job. Btw, I'm a Liberian currently residing in the US.

And KZread sent me you and now I feel like I got a 100000% better idea of what I'm getting into and am even more excited.

How'd it go?

While growing up in Costa Rica, we had to learn the capital cities of each province. Coincidently, there is a city in the Province of Guanacaste called: Liberia. So, after moving on to learning about other countries in the world, I came across that indeed there was a country named Liberia. I had thought somehow that there was a connection with the people from Guanacaste or the Liberians. I don’t know where the name Liberia originated from (whether it was Spanish, Portuguese, English or Other). I don’t think Barby discussed it in this episode; but the fact that Costa Rica’s Second International Airport is located in the city by the same name as an African Country with no relation to each other is quite interesting.

Liberia derives from the Latin word "Liber" meaning free.

Oh, I remember Liberia! On the last summer holidays, I got really interested in units of measurement (for some reason) and especially American/Imperial units (I'm European of Swedish and Russian decent). So I read up about the Imperial measurement and remember reading, that they were also used in Liberia. I did not understand that at the time, but now I most certainly do (and I also understand the flag now). Thank You, mr. Barbato!

very funny love the positive energy and great info.

I love this great work you're doing, Barby! Keep on! :D

2:11 Greenville is the #1 growing city in the south, if you count an actual city not just a residential city in Houston or Dallas it is the number one growing city, tons of people are moving here and the county updated the population of the city from 48,000 to 60,000 based on parents with enrolled students and the students them selves in the city that go to public schools.

Very well done summary. 😊
