I TOTALLY can relate to this pros and cons list! I have literally all the same praises/ gripes about TZ on my vlogs as well. These things were a major adjustment for me coming from The US. But the pros DO outweigh the cons and I still love it and call TZ home. Peace and light!

[@onewapani]

I feel like my very DNA is drawing me to Africa. Everything is lining up, internally, to make that happen. I'm experiencing a spiritual evolution/revolution within myself, preparing me for the unknown. I'm cleansing myself from materialism and living a more simplistic natural life. Tanzania came to me when I was watching a documentary about something else. Ever since then, all things Tanzania have been popping up. Do I want to move to Tanzania? Possibly. I do want to visit to test the waters. I don't want to romanticize my experience. I need to go in with my Eye wide open. I must take into account my income, residency, and all aspects of migrating. Your channel is informative on so many levels. Thank you.

[@tinasarafinas4962]

Thank you for sharing Tina great video. Regarding the customer service it’s almost the same in any country that doesn’t depend on tourism for their resources. Do not get offend it by customer service in Africa that’s the way it is, is real and natural no fake smile or fake treatment everything is real. I love Tanzania great people and beautiful country one of the most stable , peaceful and democratic country in Africa. My dream is I hope my black brothers all over the world to put into their priorities one day in their life time to visit the mother land and discover it for themselves. There’s something sometimes you can’t explain it you need to feel it, smell it , explorer it and live it on your own and find it out. God bless Africa. From Sudan

That customer service scenario is the absolute truth -- and I've never been to Tanzania. Unfortunately that kind of customer service is just African. I love it when you have to wake the girl up and she comes to the table dragging her feet and wiping the crust from the side of her mouth. However, when I was in Ghana, I saw tv commercials demonstrating the difference between good customer service and bad customer service. So at least Ghanaians recognize that there is a problem. But yeah, other countries need to follow suit.

Ohh thats a hard one because there are so many countries on the continent that I haven't been to yet but I would say that If you visit Tz it is quite easy and cheap to move around the east african region either by plane. You could see Kenya, Rwanda, Uganda, Malawi, Mozambique. Flying from east to west can be quite expensive but if you plan ahead of time it works. I learned the hard way that traveling around africa is not as spontaneous as Asia back packing, you will need more planning due to visa :)

I keep hearing about customer service and wait times for food. Is this bcos they actually cook your food as opposed to precooked food that is just heated up in your typical restaurant Europe/North America?

[@jar1239]

Everything is not precooked, you can’t possibly think other countries don’t cook their food

[@cdb48340]

I think that is why

[@susuilu]

Yes, in most African countries we eat fresh, cook from scratch and that takes time, but once the food is ready to be eaten, you won't regret the wait. Another plus is also the fact the nutritious food is not just delicious but healthy (your everyday medicine) Most Africans have a very strong immune system due to tge way of life and the healthy food.

[@yvesderival634]

This is correct. In any country, you will find the ways they approach things are different. personally ,I don't like the fake smile .

The customer service problem...is easily solved by saying a simple joke or buy her a soda (which is like cents in $)....😂😂😂😂😂😂.... i am Tanzanian in russia, i am trying to write a paper on blacks not born in africa, visiting there and must say this video made me miss home😌

[@tinasarafinas4962]

Haha, glad it put a smile on your face! And yes you are right, a joke or buying soda always does the trick, I even filmed myself saying that but cut it out when the whole video got too long. Thanks for watching :)

Really low wages for workers here, no laws or rules to protect workers, most establishments are by white/arab/indian who treat native black people really bad, use up their time and pay them barely enough to stay above water as they pass down wealth to their own, racism and classism at its finest, the few black owned businesses dont do as much harm but play along to the systems. That woman who brings you the soda, barerly gets paid 100-150 thousand, in which 50 is rent (somehow needs and gets paid 6 months at a time), and 70 is transport back and forth to work, and 30,000 Tsh(13$) is left to eat a whole month, so life for anyone who works lower paying jobs is just to keep surviving. You do this for 5 years, then dont drag your feet, people are a victims to these systems, its not their fault, there is no hope for most.

[@blackafricano6469]

mic lon We must work hard to make our earnings until we are able to stabilish our own business and be strong rival to Indian, arab and the white,,, let us learn from them and make our own business. Also government must interfere to upgrade minimum wages to those private labours who are working under the white people ( Aarab, Indian, European ).

[@irenedavo3768]

mic lon watch video of John StLucien re Featherstale

[@miclon]

Government has to, don mean government will. Open your eyes rich getting richer and poor getting poorer, google it, it is because people like yourself believe everyone has a fair chance, forget racism, nepotism, sexism, biases and every other factor, just work hard.

[@miclon]

watched john stLucien. inspiring vision, following to see where they get.

[@jtorie1]

mic lon i hate to hear this! Why aren't there more Black businesses?? How can Arabs and Indians rule in a Black country?? I don't understand. Take bk your land and your economy! Refuse to utilize non- BLACK businesses and show them who the country belongs to. Support and help build Black businesses. When I come there next I year I plan to only utilize Black merchants.

[@andersgullberg]

Jambo! Habari? I did lived in Dar Es Salaam between 1976-78 when i was kid. I was twelve years old when we moved to Tanzania to support and helping phone company to building up AXE system. You have right Tina that there is pro and cons. I was sick sometimes there cause of mosquitoes. But i was happy too see and feel difference culture in Tanzania. You are beautiful and i like your smile!

[@MpangajiTIsaya]

Tina Sarafina, Big ups for your videos. Love to your country(your root).

[@elkeaytoun6176]

I grew up in Dar es Salaam in the nineteen fifties and sixties and remember the people as being very friendly. I live in South Africa now and your description of the waitress applies to most "civil" servants here. Trying to apply for a passport or birth certificate is the most frustrating experience. I find waitrons usually react well to being greeted wirh a smile and how are you. Tanzanians are generally friendlier than South Africans. The best service here comes from Zimbabweans. Dar es Salaam has obviously changed from when I was there, we had few buses and only one traffic light in what was then Independence Avenue. The tallest buildings were the 2 churches until just before I left when the Kilimanjaro Hotel opened. It will always be my home though.

[@bayekefarijala5042]

Thank you :)

[@philipojosephlukumay3965]

Ooh, excellent honest review. Thats my home country. Its has to be remembered Africa and other developing countries were first disrupted by colonialism and finally left confused culturally. Now we are trying to do western things which were not part of our blood, thats why the reasons of all those cons. Anyway, we are not supposed to give up....i can see some cultural transformation in cities, i assure you it will take some more or less time to experience depending on various factors. All in all, most of these African countries are still very young

[@chigsbhatt1402]
