French and American Guys Become Tanzanian 🇹🇿 (#23)

As I continued my stroll down Coco Beach in Dar es Salaam, I stopped for a short while to get an alcoholic beverage. While there I came upon a mzungu adapted to Tanzania so well, that he had become Tanzanian. I also met some other new friends, some who like matakos and some who don't like religion. What a day.

This video just popped up in my feed because lately I’ve been watching Tanzania videos. I started watching because of the water and kept watching because of the conversations. I’m amazed and impressed with the easy transition to different languages.

it's actually so true about how expats here isolate themselves from locals. they will also stay here for years and will put zero effort into learning the language. but tanzanias need to take an english proficiency test to enter theirs ?? like okay come to our country and make 10 times what a local would make, but at least try to learn the language and culture ...

Are u rly judging the white ppl that avoid the locals? when every local aproach u trying to get money from u? begin for money or even selling u stuff u dont want? Well ofc if they feel that way about locals they should leave, but still i understand them and i would not judge them at all

[@nahidameghji1510]

@@wolololer yes I "rly" am. not every local is a beggar or trying to sell unwanted things. locals aren't just ppl you meet on the streets... locals are also ppl you meet at your work place, schools, social settings, etc. I'm a local and never have I ever approached anyone for money or trying to sell stuff. stop trying to generalise who "locals" are. If you're gonna come to a country and "avoid" locals, just leave. I cannot sympathise with such people. I will judge them. go cry about it :)

@@nahidameghji1510 u realize those white ppl are constanly harassed by the local ppl right? ofc i am not saying every local harrass them, even if a small percentage did this those are the ppl that the white guys experience all the time. maybe u dont understand this because ure not white in an african country, but np u can keep judging whatever u want.

[@cobwebtheorem7538]

Or maybe we should just call the Swahili from the Congo by its other name (Kingwana) and stop the unfortunate comparisons with the coastal Swahili? My radical take is that Kongolese Swahili is purer, broken and laughable as it sounds, since it is heavily embedded in its Bantu origin. Unlike the coastal one, considered pure, yet has way more Arabic loan words and influence.

[@chocon8818]

[@megszentseg6220]

That guy you're talking with at the start is so intelligent and down to earth. He thinks for himself, learns languages, kind hearted and is genuinely interested in others. The fact that he decided for himself to not believe in God in a country like Tanzania is incredible. It is very difficult to change someones perspective/beliefs they have been taught from birth. Only in the most socially evolved places (pardon my bad wording, I don't know how else to describe it) such as for example Europe, has the general population managed to stop believing in God. It's incredible that he came to that conclusion himself.

[@patelowski]

You present the disbelief of God as an evidence. That's shameful and disrespectful. There are a lot of believers in Europe.

[@megszentseg6220]

@@patelowski I'm sorry if I disrespected/ hurt your feelings. In my opinion religion is the cancer of the earth. The cause of most division, wars and the failure of integration into new cultures by immigrants. I am open to discussion, I will change my mind if someone convinces me. Growing up I was extremely religious, Christian, so I don't disrespect anyone who believes! I'm sorry if it came across like that. We can have a discussion about God if you like ! 😊 All respect to you, if it offended you I am sorry, my English isn't great 👍

[@mzeegawany5538]

Its not uncommon just not everyone is as brave to speak, im Tanzanian too and i dont believe in religions nor the God described

[@barbaratardy6284]

As life progresses and hardship and suffering continue many will turn to the One Infinite Creator realizing that there infinite probabilities for good and infinite probabilities for negative. One then realizes they know very, very little about Creation. At this point One turns inward to seek and there you find God. Life is Soul evolution and enjoying the abundance that is provided to us. This dimension of duality is meant to be challenging, we take blows, get kicked around, and find gratitude then we grow. We are spiritual beings in a material body, the body dies, but we do not the soul and consciousness is eternal. We continue on our journey until we are able to reunite with God. Contemplate, pray, meditate and serve others and Glory will come sooner then later.
