Totally mad I missed the opportunity to make a "Order Lomé-ein To-go" joke in the food section. Oh well.
This was an episode I had to do on-location. Togo has something very unique happening right now, and (despite the incredibly frustrating bureaucratic registrations and getting arrested for flying a drone) I had such an amazing time and saw the huge potential this small country has to thrive. Plus I totally ran crossed the narrowest (Accessible) Salient in Africa. HUGE thanks to Gilles for everything!
Thanks for knowing the craziness part of this country. Everything is controlled by the government. It's all dictatorship. No drone no binocular allowed 😂😂
Unfortunate that the government is kinda cringe, Probably part of all the border and drone recording issues (And why you could get around them so easily).
Shoutout to Faure "I don't feel like a dictator" Gnassingbe on another constitutional rewrite.
My country !!!
Togo, the archrival nation of Forhere.
Gary is SO ANNOYING with that accent. Please make him stop with that distracting accent. You can't even concentrate on what is being said with that fake accent. Merci.
As an American, Togo seems fascinating and awesome to see Paul actually went there. Looks very nice!
Interesting how it's a French speaking country in Africa landlocked inbetween Ghana and Benin.
African accents are so captivating to listen to, I loved your co host!
love your show-thx!
Since I have done McDonalds togo multiple times, I like think of Togo's flag as french fries laid horizontally with a red hot small mocha at the canton saying I am loving it so heres the white star. I hope to remember this!
One of my best friends is Togolese. Very fascinating history!
0:37 Tarcin was later apprehended by Interpol for war crimes against humanity
the ewe aren’t bantus
Would have been interesting with a landlocked country having a colony
2:28 what are those craters? They make the coast look like Swiss cheese.
3:30
First heard of this country watching cricket with my Dad, where they played against Australia.
Picked up an encyclopaedia to look at this country, the internet wasn't as pervasive yet.
Interesting little country.
5:29 Germany is not Yemen upside down.
love that you actually went to Togo to film this episode! very authentic and immersive
My uncle was born in togo
You don’t have to put the captions for the French words I already understand it
As an Ashanti I need to visit Togo.
Je ne m'attendais pas à ce que l'épisode de Togo soit le 4ème de Barb
