It was time to explore Mombasa, Kenya's major port on the Indian ocean and it's most interesting city. I didn't have a plan, but I knew I wanted to explore the history of the city. Along the way I had some nice Swahili food and met some friendly locals, while avoiding any trouble...or did I?

He’s like Bald & Bankrupt, adventurous and multilingual, but more chilled and not laddish. I really enjoy much of Mr. Bald’s channel, but sometimes, especially with Harald Baldr, he gets a bit silly and churlish. I like Sabbatical’s maturity in how he deals with people, and he clearly respects the cultures he visits.
@osiris3103
@osiris3103 3 года назад
Bald lacks elementary human respect towards others and completely disregards the culture of the country he is in. I tried watching his stuff and I cringed hard and often. It's no coincidence he had troubles because of his behavior in Chechnya. I have always been saying that if you are respectful and decent, you will rarely have problems no matter where you go.

As I mentioned before as an Indian born in East Africa our forefathers were brought by the British to East Africa in the 18th century to build railway. Mombasa was the entry point. Then some moved inland to Uganda &Tanzania etc. so lot of Indian influence there like chapati was adopted by locals which Indians cooked every day. Even Indian language was adopted by East Africans. You will find lot of Indians influence in East African cuisine. Been to Mombasa umpteen times since I was a baby. My mother was born in Mombasa

The history taught in Kenyan schools is that the Indians were brought by the British to build the railway. However , the truth is that the Indians used to be in east Africa before the Portuguese. They used to trade with the swahili people and the Arabs. It is very sad to see history being distorted by these Kenyans.

Not because it could be stolen, but because the people will always look at you if they see you with a video camera. It is an unconfortable feeling when you trying to record content. Also, I know the police can easily bother you out of tamaa (greed) or mistaking you for a bad guy. By the way, great pronunciation on your Swahili. I miss Barkaa restaurant.
