  • Hey Geograpeeps!

  • So today is Fan Friday.... (with utmost enthusiasm)

  • Not a lot of you guys really care to watch these videos

  • But I still like to make them 'coz I like to show you guys what you guys sent.

  • So, this week was a little strange

  • Because I didn't think I was going to get a lot of mail (like that'll ever happen)

  • Because my videos haven't been getting as many views.

  • Usually the smaller, more obscure countries don't get as many views

  • as the more popular ones like Germany or France (and Bandiaterra)

  • However uhh, a lot of you guys sent 'stuff'.

  • Let me show you.

  • *In disbelief* So this entire table is all the stuff you guys have sent.
