As a European in Kenya (coast) on and off for 13 years, have noticed one thing about reactions to videos and the videos about Kenya .... Africans and Kenyans are nearly entirely positive about what they see. Presumably because they know little about other places. And if someone dares point out flaws, justified or less justified, they get criticized, heckled and chastised no matter what. As the video maker, you better make sure that you praise and sugarcoat things, turn the blind eye to the obvious, r uh will get tons of unserious comments, refusing to deal with what you present but rather any, any kind of (constructive) criticism. Now let me give some constructive criticism here, whether you like it or not: Clean up your town! Tourists don't like to see dump sites everywhere. Nor do they enjoy the stench. At least do a minimum amount of maintenance on your buildings. A little paint works wonders. Have some pride! Stop differentiating prices between locals and tourists! It is immoral and indecent. And does cost you clients. The corruption within the police can be shocking to a mzungu. Africans seem to be quite okay with it. Police officers are usually rough and rude, totally unlike in Western countries. But Africans seem to expect it. The shockingly unstable supply of power can be a huge challenge for a mzungu. Africans know no otherwise. It does, of course, affect things as WiFi- unless yo are in a big hotel or apartment complex with the essentiel generator Some of the above points are not confined t Malindi but are Kenyan issues in general Other than that, Malindi is a bustling town with plenty of life .... until about 9 pm Big, wide beaches and occasional blue water. And usually quite lush.
True brother I've taken time to read this and I 100 per cent accept what you've just said. Most people tend to hate constructive critism. For instance, MOMBASA is really growing so fast but the centre of the town is really dirty, filled with un maintained buildings and old electric poles and wires.
