Thank you for sharing this message. About the Alleegies most african countries don,t know about those allergies so they eat everything and they are rarely affected i think its because of adoptation and they start when they are young so it,s heard to tell which or what allergies one have.

7:58 *Stop encouraging locals to overcharge foreigners. Foreigners should be charged same price as locals. If you want bless them , just tip them.

[@umutonipatience8616]

true and when they get used to such habits of over pricing, it becomes their culture. Bargaining is no shame, bcoz it is one way of saving for groceries

[@adventurousmidlifer]

In no way am I encouraging. But we act as though this is not the culture around the world. Why is it that people don't spend the same energy to complain about the fact that to enter a national park, museum etc..in most African Countries as well as other Countries ie: China etc.. Nyungwe National Park charges locals 5,000 RWF and Foreign nonresidents $90, do you think that's unfair, we pay it as a tourist (I personally think its a bit excessive) yet we will haggle over .50 cent or a dollar🤔 I'm just saying make it make sense. You go to the airport and you pay 5 times the cost for a bottle of water, and lots of tourists do, but complain about .50 or $1... We walk around accepting that there are extortion-level price markups in a fancy restaurant where we pay 3x the cost for a bottle of water, but we pay it. I could go on and on... yet we draw the line in the sand for the hardworking moto drivers, waiters, hotel staff etc... The ones who need it most I just don't get it, respectfully. Just help me make it make sense. I was taught "There but for the grace of god goes I"

@adventurousmidlifer 90% of rwanda people are hutu So no need to ask Due to the genocide in 94 that decimated 70 % of the tutsis!! It is better to downplay the ethnicities People still know who they are But they would rather focus On development that u witness

[@Benedir]

@adventurousmidlifer 90% of moto drivers are hutus maybe 95 Bigogwe with the cows u were among tutsis Banana wine u were with hutus Certain jobs tutsis would rarely do If u stay there 6 months U will know our physical differences Which the government is working hard To downplay by telling people To be quiet and encouraging foreigners to move in

[@JlmnVhio-ns5cg]

It's ok you can ask me about my tribe I will tell you who I am that is not a problem,the fact that I am Rwandan does not take away my tribe,but again you gotta have a reason why you want to know that,i think the fact that you know i am Rwandan that's enough for a foreigner because when I go to another african country i do not go around asking for their tribe though i know they have it,i feel like knowing the tribe you are should only stay withing the natives of that country,but again i do not care if you ask me my tribe i will tell you,i know in our country some had made it a taboo mainly because a bunch are not proud of their tribe because of the innocent blood they shed of the other tribe and they do not want people to view them in that mirror calling them killers so they push so hard the narrative of the government that tribes do not exist and get very offended if they hear anyone mentioning their own tribe because that would cancel out the narrative of the non existence of tribes thus would reveal their tribe they do not want others to know but that's their problem,nothing can make me deny my tribe just because someone else is not proud of theirs or just because the government has pushed the false narrative that tribes don't exist,anyone pushing that narrative has an agenda and a bad one for that,there is nothing good comes out of denying who you are,anyways at homes we all say who we are,it is just in public that's where people do not say it but as a foreigner when you befriend someone here and ask them they would tell you especially if they do not belong to the one that shed innocent blood.

[@adventurousmidlifer]

I agree with you 100%. There are things unsaid that will tell you if a person is a tribesman/woman lol. I think when foreigners ask this question it is because we heard or read something, not for any genuine reason other than we are genuinely nosey lol

[@Mr_me_only]

Nothing to be of proud my dear i knew my tribe when i was 17 yrs but it was a mess, seeing everyone i meet with and then classify mn that's shit but a good advice don't be too proud to even encourage your children to get deep in it cz nothing positive inside. at home we didn't have a conversation like that.

Are you preaching that we reward dishonesty due to some Rwandans being poor? Why should I be overcharged as a foreigner? I have visited Rwanda a few times, i love the people and the country. But what i hate is people trying to take advantage of me. I have helped lots of Rwandans and i am still helping even uptill yesterday. Charge me as per normal, and I will tip you for good service. Those who over charge me gets nothing but those who provide good service get x3 to x5 of what they ask for.

[@adventurousmidlifer]

No not at all. Name one place in the world where prices are not higher for tourist. Right he in New York, tourist in the tourist areas will pay 3x the cost for everything. I’m not saying reward dishonesty but why do we expect anything different in developing nations but don’t blink an eye at ALL the ways you pay more because you are a tourist? 1. I preach doing your research and be informed what the price is. 2. Overt/disrespectful overcharging needs to be shut down. 3. If it is the difference between charging locals $1.00 and you quote $1.50 my thing is why argue over .50🤔 there is NO set regulated price (there are general estimates for Rwandans and tourist). 4. If they quote me $3.00 then I know they are trying to take advantage by charging me 3x the cost I am shutting it down. If there were set prices across the board than this discussion wouldn’t even be a convo. I clearly say its the Nickle and dimming for me. Hope this helps❤️
