[@Andr3ization]

U r doing a great job, keep it up I love it. I would like to reassure you that the 10 Dollars they asked for is cheaper for a stadium tour. It is a universal practice even here to get into Man U’ stadium one still has to pay even if the game is not on. It is expensive than going to watch the game because you will have access to different corners of the stadium: trophy cabinet, players charging rooms, laundry, T-shirt’ shop, manager’s office etc which you wouldn’t access when going in for the game alone. Thanks.

[@jeannotprosmart]

Which recording device are you using ? S I can check the mic price.

[@jon_s]

Why you were treated differently at the stadium is because you look different. Whenever you visit an African country, the first thing to do is observe the women of that country and try to fit in as them (do their common hairstyles and dress like them) and talk less. In that way, no one will pay special attention to you. Good luck

[@africanstoryteller]

@@jeannotprosmart I use Sony RX100VII. The microphone (Rode Wireless Go II) is compatible with it and the price is approximately $300

[@africanstoryteller]

@@jon_s I find your comment derogatory and discriminatory. I'm an African of Bantu descent, as a matter of fact my ancestors migrated from the Congo basin to Nigeria so here (Congo Kinshasa) is my home and I look no different from them except that we speak different languages. So no, I wasn't treated differently because I looked/look different. Your comment is ridiculous

You just won a new sub here (Congolese living in Belgium). I really enjoyed the adventure, it was so funny and informative. Love that advice about taking steps, that's universal and very true, I've experienced it myself on different occasions, at different places. To come back to that 10$ at the stadium all I can say is that you can negotiate almost anything in Kinshasa, and like in many places people will always try to take advantage once they know you're not from there. Last time I was in Kinshasa (August 2019) I stopped a taxi, the driver literally looked at me from head to toes then asked me 10 dollars for a trip that cost 4000 Congolese francs (2$). He could smell that I was a diasporan. I ended up giving him 6000 Congolese francs. Funny is that I wasn't even dressed flashy (T-shirt, cargo short and sneakers). I wish a pleasant stay in Kinshasabut please be careful with your device when vlogging : don't know how it is in Lagos but pick-pockets are very fast when it comes to phones. Even when you're inside a car windows down. Last week a girlfriend from France got her 12 pro max robbed while talking on the phone, that was on the boulevard du 30 Juin. She's already back in Paris. That happens everywhere, my country is no exception. Last but not least : a big THANK YOU for showing the DRC to the world.
