[Nick]

Hi everyone,

We have a new game, something fun to do over the weekend. From culture to food, to general information associated with the area, the emojis below illustrate 34 different countries. 

Can you guess which ones they are? 

As always, for more people to be able to take part, please post one reply at a time. 

I hope you’ll have fun with it and I’ll be here to help you if you need it 🙂

[Nick]

very close but not quite there 😉@Emiel1 

[Emiel1]

@Nick

OK... i leave this one now to somebody else

[Nick]

@Nick 

Nick, a bit tongue in cheek but can I nominate Zimbabwe as #24.

I have selected this because Zimbabwe is a banana republic, has very volatile leadership and the economy moves at the rate of a tortoise!!!   🤔

On a more serious note can I nominate Morocco as #22!

Being on the Atlantic coast Morocco is a surfing nation, the King is a keen surfer and Morocco has a large citrus industry!

Cheers.......Rob

Welcome back @Robin4 

As you can see, couldn't finish the game without you 🙂

Number 24 is far away from being right, but you're spot-on for 22, which indeed is Morocco.

@Nick 

Nick, I had to have a bit of fun with #24.....cut me a bit of slack on that one hey!! I posted that for laughs okay!

But you bugger, I knew from the start what #15 was but, I would like to think this fabulous land of Australia we live in is  more than just an island inhabited by Koalas and spiders!

Glad I got 22 out of the way, if there is anything left I will have a go at it!

Nick, sort of wish you guys were in our part of the world just now! Covid-19 does not exist here. We are social distancing but there are no face masks, we have not had a community transmission since June and not had a death since April. A guest said to me yesterday...."Do you have a Covid-19 cleaning regime"? I said to her......"Why, every clean is a Covid-19 clean but, we go out of our way to provide an environment we would want to stay in........there is no Covid-19 in this state, there is no point in alerting up front to something that, for us, does not exist".....We are here to provide nice experiences, not fill our guests minds with fear! 

Glad Morocco got the the thumbs up Nick!

Cheers.......Rob

That would be a dream right now @Robin4  With everything happening to France and Germany I think it's just a matter of time before our government announces a new lockdown. Late to the party (as usual) so we can undoubtedly ruin Christmas.

There are 3 left:

24

31

33

Good luck!

@Nick 

Nick, I feel like I am hogging things a bit here, I have had my fair share of nominations, but can I nominate #24 as being Ecuador!

I do know that volcanic activity is having a devastating effect on Ecuadors banana plantations and Ecuador owns the Galapagos Islands (which I have been to) and are home to the giant tortoise. 

A guess, but a fairly educated one!

Cheers.........Rob

[Nick]

That is absolutely right @Robin4 and sorry for the delay - it's all JibJab's fault 😛

There's only 2 left now, numbers 31 and 33.

[Robin4]

I think this thread has run out of steam.....my JibJab featuring @Nick must have gone to his head! We are now at the pointy end of the thread with only a few to go and the info has dried up....nothing since last Thursday.

Hopefully we can see the thread to a conclusion!

Cheers.......Rob

[Robin4]

@Nick 

I am going to leave 33 to someone else, not that I don't have an idea what it is Nick, but I have stolen more than my fair share through this game, but I will have one last nibble of the yeast bun!

Can I nominate Portugal as #31

I nominate this because when we went through there I was surprised by the quality of their wines.....there are bloody chooks running around everywhere and they have a big fishing industry.

Once again, an educated guess, but it's the best I can come up with!

Cheers........Rob
