You say that newer eSIM-only iPhones don't work in Egypt because they don't support eSIMs. Then you say that you used Airalo to buy data, but Airalo uses eSIMs too (when I traveled to Italy, I purchased data through Airalo which installed as an eSIM on my iPhone). My wife and I both own newer iPhones that don't have physical SIM card slots. And we are both on an unlimited international plan. Will we not be able to use our phones in Egypt?

3:32 - “Ray”? That’s hilarious. When I was there decades ago, it was common to get around by hitchhiking, for which they borrowed an American term that was easier to say-“ride”. Evidently, the tendency of Nicas to swallow their d’s, plus a change in the spelling to make it more phonetic in Spanish, resulted in “ray”.

Note to women interested in chicken busses: I took one from Managua to Estelí, and during the entire ride, we were packed like sardines and some pendejo kept trying to position himself so that his groin was up against my behind. I squirmed away several times, and he kept squirming after me. That was three decades ago, so maybe things have improved on that score-can anyone give an update?

The way the tampon situation was explained to me when I stayed with a family back in the 1980’s was that pads were for “chicas” and tampons were for “mujeres”. Make of that what you will (I guess nobody wants them because buying them marks you as “una mujer zángana” …? 🤷🏻‍♀️). Fortunately, I knew to bring an ample supply because, in those days, it was just expected that there was a shortage of EVERYTHING.

Kuching is definitely underrated. Not a party city but does have a number of concerts! I dare say Kuching is a city that knows when to rests. 2:15 No. Kuching is not “discovered” by Brunei sultanate. They tried to rule Sarawak but the people rebelled. After helping Brunei official to fight against it, Brooke was given the land to govern. Brooke DID NOT represented British. He ruled as a private citizen of British. British only ruled Sarawak AFTER the WW2 and roughly for 17 years before Sarawak formed Malaysia together with Sabah, the fed. of Malaya and Singapore (left the federation in 1965). 5:09 Sarawak has 8, the peninsula Malaysia has 10.

@@GringoNation, foreigners usually equate the Brooke with the British empire. The biggest mistake people who come to Sarawak made because of its uniqueness. I don’t think there is a white Rajah ruling other “countries” in the world that lasted for three generations as the Brooke. So, many people probably couldn’t relate… The fact is… Sarawakians had been fighting against and pushing back Brunei rule even before Brooke came into the picture. Sarawakians don’t hate Brooke. He was the founder of modern Sarawak.

Thank you my friend for addressing this complicated topic. It’s such a double edged sword: tourism money vs tourism degradation of cities. As a visitor to any country I want to respect and support local people and economies without tarnishing the beauty of a place. I feel it’s always a few bad apples, those who only visit to party and take advantage of an exchange rate that makes them feel “rich and powerful” and those of us who long to meet knew friends and learn about a new culture. What’s the answer? I fear it will come down to governments putting caps on the number of “tourists” or instituting fees for “tourists” which almost turns a place into an amusement park. Great video as always. Safe travels✌🏻🙏🤙🏻
