Always the poor created a situation, check out is 10am you are checking out at 3pm What she is telling you by you checking out late they miss the cleaning Wageni matapeli nyie, you know she is working and if you don't pay the late fees is going to cost her job, pay the late fees the cleaning money I can even here the people around they said they even knock the door for you to leave the room, wageni wahuni
This is the most absurd video about South-Africa. It is clear his perception is biased and show his very limited knowledge. I often bike packing this country, never ever experienced violence. Every country has dangerous areas, the same in South-Africa. You should come back and I will show you the true South-Africa, friendly nation. This is a bucket list country to visit.
That's quite a fearless adventure you are on. Just curious why you are trying to speak in Dutch at times. Your accent appears to be wholly English, neither Dutch nor Afrikaans. Furthermore, your wife appears to be Swedish?
Hey, thank you! I am English but speak some Dutch, and my partner at the time is Dutch. I was using Dutch so i could speak privately to the camera to talk about the place we were staying without being overheard
@@oscarejdonovan Ah I see, sort of, it's just that I saw you meeting up with your cycling partner, your wife, in Sweden, presumably, then, that was a brief sojourn from your African odyssey...
Ah yes, am very lazy & slow with editing so it makes far apart events seem right after each other, but yeah at that time she was working in Sweden over the winter while I was working in the UK as Brexit made both working either side of the border impossible
The song that starts at 1:27 is fire... sets up an unexpected plot twist describing the despairing truths about some places in the world. It's always good to keep an open mind and let the experiences speak for themselves.
pretty lame video tbh. also you're profiting off of the shock value, so really there's no ethical consumption under capitalism no matter how much mia culpa you through out there.
Lovely to hear a foreigners coming in and generalising... bit of a yikes to look at a town and generalise out about the whole country like this. (I am in no way defending oranje, that place has no place in our country)
I do admit I should've been more specific when talking about white south Africans - everything I said in the video was true based upon what I'd experienced but doesn't represent the white south Africans living in cape town, for example. Will mention in the next video. Was there anything else you feel I got wrong?
Yes, it's not a whites only town, it's Afrikaaner only. You can be as white as you like if you are not an Afrikaaner Christian who adheres to their culture you ain't coming in. A close comparison would be Amish in the USA or Hasidic jews around the world.
@@davidjones3712 Everyone who lives there is white though - it could be in principle that one wouldn't have to be white but so far only whites have been allowed in to live there
Brave to cycle through South Africa. We left for Australia in 1994 and whenever we returned to visit family it reinforced why we left. It is just so dangerous. I'll make a point though. Apartheid we formalised in 1948 when the National Party took power in South Africa. There were not hundreds of years of oppression.
Racial discrimination in South Africa dates back to colonisation. Black people were oppressed for hundreds of years before apartheid. The oppression didn't just suddenly start in 1948.
It's great to see you and Nadja back and looking well 👍 That was an extremely interesting video and a real eye opener! Great accent too btw 😁 Is there a story behind why you have a cargo bike? All the best and looking forward to your next video 🚲🙂👍
Thanks Tony! The cargo bike is for the next big adventure... am planning to be the first person to circumnavigate on a cargo bike 😁 leaving for Pakistan to start in the next few months!
@@oscarejdonovan oh wow, that sounds like another great adventure from you! I was thinking it was maybe for Nadja to sunbathe on whilst you toiled along in the sun 🌞😆 I will eagerly await for this next series 🚲⛺ Cheers 👍
They were correct, because in Tanzania the check out for all hotel it is at 10.00 am to allow cleaning. I understand that, other country checking out is within 24 hours from the check in time.
In your defense I see where you are coming from. I’m black and I come America and dude there’s a culture of extortion that exists within that country that is never discussed. Unfortunately I witnessed it happen to white people mainly but come on. You walk in a shop and people try to prevent you from leaving until you give them free money!
@oscarejdonovan - I have never encounter a hotel that can do check out later than 14:00 in this life, for free. Usually I have to ask at reception if they can allow for a late check out, and off course will be a fee.
Ohh Pole Time here is read the opposite way to be precise: The day starts at 6AM (with sun rise) and ends at 6PM (with sunset). This means 12 is 6 and 3 is 9 and so on. Though directly accusing the whole country for a single experience isnt fair and you should have done your research. kindly change the Title, Tanzania is an amazing travel country especially by bike, Suggest get involved with local clubs and get the necessary info/Contacts needed for your travel, we have a network all over Tanzania precisely to help make Tanzania tourism experience better and the advice comes free of charge.
When you are traveling in Tanzania using a local bus, when you get off the bus, ask the bus conductor to lower your luggage for you and do not allow someone else to lower it, because such people do not interact with the bus, they do it to make money and not only for you, but even we Tanzanians do not use them. to carry our luggage, your videos show that you have rushed to make the trip, you should investigate first
This sister is not wrong, in Tanzania if we say 4 that means 10am and not 4pm, now that you have increased the hours being late, her boss will surely charge her more money because you will be staying for two days and you were asked to check out at 10am in the morning
Saa nne is NOT 4PM World clock - it’s 4pm KiSwahili time which is 6 hours in front of world clock, meaning check out was 10AM 🤷🏽♂️ They were NOT extorting you and this issue happens a lot in Tanzania IT IS NOT A SCAM but a cultural difference that most travellers do not respect. It’s certainly not a “horrible” country as I’ve lived in UK for 40 years and I’ve known far worse Racist Opportunism and violence from locals for simply being different from them. Whilst living in UK I’ve had many positive experiences but on the flip side had also been told that most Europeans /Caucasians think Afrikans are stuck in the Stone Age, are Primative or generally stupid… the media fuelled insidious racism is perhaps most shocking when found in government policies targeting Afrikans by race ie The Windrush Scandal insisting that Afrikans must be deported for literally no reason!
Swahili time - 4 O'clock means 10 O'clock English/Universal. That's swahili time. Even in some coastal towns in Kenya they use swahili time, the clocks there tell swahili time.
Sir i am Portuguese, i am considering to move to Netherland or Switzerland or Denmark, but i am very confused to choose between these, which country is better for live and work, your advice will be highly appreciated thanks
I've travelled Tanzania extensively and they're generally very kind people. There might be some misunderstandings due to the language and culture but as long as you have a positive mindset, you will realise that most situations can be resolved amicably. If you start off with the mindset that you're being scammed, it's usually downhill from there. It blinds you from being able to see the facts. In this case the swahili time difference. Also, the staff probably didn't want to talk to the boss because they were afraid. There is high levels of unemployment and this results in insecurities. I understand not paying on principle due to the misunderstanding, but in the overall scheme of things $15 isn't the end of the world for guys who are travelling for fun. This could have have prevented the sour interaction and thus prevented the negative bias from forming in the first place. So if someone said that Tanzanians are taught that they can make a lot of money off white people, that's what you'll hold on to. In other words, every interaction is selectively filtered to prove your point. Change your outlook and you'll experience a whole different side of the world. This video hasn't dissuaded me from visiting Tanzania at all. It has demonstrated the need to step back and reassess my outlook on life. Thanks for that.
