So remember the Geography Go! episode when Ásgeir took Jason and I to that secret hot spring?

Well the thing is we had to change into our swim trunks

But the problem was there was like a family of Polish people that were like kind of following us

And they were all like around us the entire time. And there were no changing booth.

So I was like: "Ásgeir, How do we change?" and then Ásgeir was like: "We do it the European way"

And I'm like: "What's that" and he's like: "We just change in front of these people" And you know by now

I'm kind of used to this kind of stuff like I've been to Finland and in Finland everybody's naked everybody's naked twenty-four, seven eleven

I'm not even joking it's a true fact [LIES]. However the problem was is that there were like kids playing like 40 meters away.

And that's like when my prudish American side comes out because I'm like oooo

I could totally get arrested for something like this in the United States. But you know Jason

and I were just like let's just get this over with. So we did it in the freezing cold in Iceland

I mean they weren't like staring at us

They were just kind of like minding their own business

But still it's just kind of weird to me that you know you're fully exposed in front of a bunch of weird strangers

and their kids

Ugh, Europe, I love you

but I- sometimes I still have to like process you. Anyway this episode's supposed to be about the flag and coat of arms

of Iceland without further ado

Ahh, Iceland, the land of fire and ice and the name is actually kind of appropriate despite all those memes

So, here we go. The flag of Iceland contains a blue field with a white cross and a thinner red cross inside the parameters of the white cross.

The blue represents the Colour of the North Atlantic Ocean [Wrong! It actually represents the blue of the mountains]

The white represents the snow and ice that covers the island most of the year .

And the red stands for the volcanoes of the island which could be found everywhere. The flag of Iceland is of course also part of the Nordic Flag

Family Group which all contain the Nordic Cross on them. Before they used this flag they kinda used like an inverted version of the

Finnish flag with a blue field and a white cross.

Also it's funny because in Iceland, even though you might not see a lot of people hosting the flag from their homes or businesses,

they take disrespect of the flag very seriously. It could cost anywhere from a fine to imprisonment based off of the action.

Now we move on to the coat of arms

and I'm just going to say this is probably like one of the coolest coat of arms

I will ever cover because, it kinda has like a legend behind it. The court of arms is a shield with the Icelandic flag

configuration on it. Surrounding the shield, standing on a lava block, are the four landvættir, or guardians of Iceland.

There's the bull, Griðungur, Protector of the Northwest, the Eagle or griffin,

Gammur, Protector of the East, the Dragon

Dreki, Protector of the Southeast, and the Rock Giant, Bergrisi, Protectior of the Southwest. Dude, that's amazing.

Four Guardians on a coat of arms

That's how I would make a coat of arms. Also keep in mind

Iceland was under Danish rule for a while so prior to all this they had a bunch of different flags and coat of arms often

depicting a silver falcon and at one time they even had half a fish with a crown. I don't ask

I just report. And that's about it

So you know what time it is Geogra-Fanmail-Time. By the way before we get into anything

I still have this hammer that those people sent from Portugal, and I love it. I can't get enough of it

I love this. So we got some cool stuff this week

And I can't wait to show you guys what you guys sent. Let's see who's country gets to be put on the spotlight this week

Nadia from Serbia. Hey Barb, I've been watching since the Australia episode and I love learning about the Spratly Islands in China

I've also sent you some dinar notes including an old Yugoslavian 50 million dinar note,

a map of Belgrade and the handmade Serbian flag. This is actually really cool look she actually like

handmade this entire flag she actually painted the eagles and everything. Dylan from Florida says I've been watching since Haiti and I would be thrilled

If you opened this on camera, I've also been learning swedish, and I will write this in swedish. Jag är...???

...???... why am I saying this in a Finnish accent. *Gibberish*

That's that's that's what Finnish sounds like to me. This is from Julia from Pennsylvania

Almost every year my family goes on vacation to Aruba and it is awesome. And inside she included these Aruban candies and coins

That's the cool thing like even though Aruba is kind of like a

constituent nation it has its own currency and the coolest thing is the square coin

Thank you to Trenton from Wisconsin, Gabriel who is a Mexican-Chilean that lives in the UK, and a

Boaz from New York, Boaz, I like that name. It's named after the guy in the Bible that marries ahh

Ruth right. Like the Bible's only romantic comedy story. And this's from Zach from Texas

I've watched almost all your videos and thanks for making me happy everyday by making videos. Never stop. Ah, thanks man

Also I sent you some south African rand and Zimbabwe dollars. My question though is Zack

How does an eight-year-old come across the bank notes? You go there or did your family go there?

Did you get this from a family member? OK now, I'm excited for this one because it is from Puerto Rico

Oh, this is so cool

It Barbs I'm Carlos

And I live in Puerto Rico I've been watching your channel since Albania I sent you quite a few things plantain chips,

Bookmarks, various Puerto Rican candies and pastes, you'll also find a lollipop and a gofio eat it carefully

I'm guessing this is the gofio what is it go feel fill your mouth with it and say outloud

Phosphoryl it's our version of the cinnamon challenge ok I'm going to do the Puerto Rican cinnamon challenge with gofio. Okay

*unintelligent sounds*

What the heck is this it's not that kind of tastes like cereal for those of you that don't know anything about Puerto Rico

It's kind of like the unicorn of the latin world like whenever Latinos meet somebody from Puerto Rico

They're kind of like ooh, what really you're from Puerto Rico

Tell me more about yourself. It's kind of like when we Americans meet somebody from New Zealand. We're like ooh you're from New Zealand

Tell me more. And finally we got a package from Brasil. Oh, wow oh my gosh. Hey, Paul. My name is

??? and I sent this from Brazi.l I live in a city called Belo

Horizonte and it is a- it has a population around 2 million people. I sent you some stuff from my state Minas Gerais

A famous church from my city, the white biscuit in a bag is eaten commonly here, it's called ???

and it's made of Mandioca, a brazilian root. The big brown bar is a suite called Pé De Moleque.

Translation is little boy's foot. The small brown pieces is a traditional sweet from my area called Doce

De Leite. Ohh, got to love those Brazilians. So that's it for now, but before we go. You know
