Travel may be discouraged for most of us this year, but that doesn't mean we can't explore some fascinating destinations. So, to make the world a bit more accessible and fun, let's discover one "no-way-it's-true", fascinating fact about countries you may not know -- even if you've travelled to them before. In a nod to one survey creator who has mastered the art of the multi-part survey (always enjoy those ones), here's part 2 of your world travel trivia.

There are more uncontacted people in Brazil's portion of the Amazon than anywhere else on the planet, with the number of isolated tribes believed to be more than 100. Uncontacted peoples are communities or groups of indigenous peoples living without sustained contact to neighbouring communities and the world community, and includes "indigenous peoples in voluntary isolation". With the threatened development of the Amazon, these tribes are threatened, by illegal land grabbers and loggers. Have you ever visited the Amazon in Brazil or another South American country?

The Yoruba people in the southwest part of Nigeria, in Africa, are known for giving birth to more twins than anywhere else in the world, at a rate of 50 per 1,000 births. The best explanation so far is that Yoruba people eat a type of yam that contains an ovarian stimulate that might release more eggs. To celebrate the town hosts an annual festival, that draws hundreds of sets of twins from around the country. Are you a twin, or multiple?

In Vietnam, one of the top attractions in Hanoi is the Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum. Here you can view the embalmed body of the country's most beloved leader, known as Uncle Ho, who was encased in glass (against his will). Started in 1973, the construction of the mausoleum was modeled on Lenin's mausoleum in Russia and was first open to the public in 1975. The granite building meant a great deal for many locals as it ensures that their beloved leader 'lives on forever'. Have you visited Vietnam?

Everyone who lives in Germany, even foreigners, can attend college tuition-free. In 2014, Germany abolished tuition fees for undergraduate students at all public German universities. This means that currently both domestic and international undergraduates at public universities in Germany can study for free, with just a small fee to cover administration and other costs per semester. Do you think having university free is a smart move?
