Nice Altafbhai - I spent my childhood living on Zanaki Street near the Odeon roundabout. I and my friends used to mess around on the Odeon Roundabout in the evening. Do you remember 'kara' the old jugu (roasted peanuts) seller. He only used to sell for a few hours each evening and many people used to be disappointed when he sold out his day's stock of various snacks he used to sell like BC, jugu mawe, 'bafela' jugu (boiled peanuts) etc etc.

[@AltafDaya]

I don't remember kara as I used to live in Kariakoo. We used to get jugu bisi, dariya etc in Kariakoo as well

[@DarinFilms]

Asante sana Ndugu! These are the streets I grew up around. Glad to see them even though I was there two years ago roaming them!

[@AltafDaya]

I go to Dar almost twice a year..... and love walking around each time lol

[@mukundpadhye8284]

Excellent clip,Altafbhai..There were 2 Alimanga buildings in my Dar time..1952-64..was born in Dar 1952..my birthplace...so in US terminology,I am IndianTanzanian..One Alimanga building is the one that you always show in the clip and the other one was bang opposite to this existant one...just next to vegetable vendors round the corner..a smaller one though.and just next to it,towards earlier Kisutu Housing was our Maratha Mandal,..There was a huge hotel at Dallas Super Market location on way to my school,Mtendeni..Ask your Dad or Natasha's Dad..They might recollect..!! Dar keeps on changing since then..!!We have around 30 Dar Maratha Mandal guys living today at Pune,India..all over 70yrs..Miss Dar bhai...!!

Along Odeon round about it was lonson chemist and not Janowala chemist

[@AltafDaya]

Oh ok....I don't know why I keep on thinking it was Janoowala. Thanks for the correction

[@teremello4846]

I would be totally lost if I visited today. Drastic changes from 50 years ago. Spent first 25 years there. Is there anything familiar?

[@AltafDaya]

No idea to be honest....my memory dates back only 40 years lol

[@shirazalibhai4647]

​@AltafDaya so you won't remember a cinema in kariako called Alxsandra

[@AltafDaya]

[@imtiyazyusuf1374]

Is it safe to walk in the evening in Dar? It was not so few years ago.

[@AltafDaya]

City Centre is relatively safe. You however need to be vigilant and careful not to flash your phone or wallet in public

[@imtiyazyusuf1374]

Thank you very much. If you still have time. Please visit the Mtendeni primary school again and show inside of the class room with students and teachers. Thank you very much in advance.

[@AltafDaya]

Hello.... Unfortunately they do not allow you to record the class in progress and students. When I went, the school was going on and therefore I couldn't record the classroom. Sorry about that. You will see the video I did of Mtendeni school on my channel as well -

[@sajedabanorashid354]

[@AltafDaya]

Yes, u can still get on arrival and also e-visa if you want it earlier
