Why Does No One Visit This City!? This is Mwanza (#42)

[@elite6642]

with each video i watch, the more it inspires me in so many ways. To learn another language, to travel the world while im still young, to cherish even the smallest conversations with strangers, but most importantly to live more.

[@ThePathOfEudaimonia]

Yes! I experience the same. It literally and figuratively opens the world.

U're one of the few foreigners who seeks to show the real Africa in every way. The media shows that only a third of Africa is starving, that we generally walk around half-naked or even naked and say there are no white-skinned people around here. I'm Mozambican, more specifically from Beira city, and I'm excited to see you doing this job. Congrats.

[@Ay0ubM]

Literally every single video I see of Sabbatical in Africa, there is somebody begging him for money. So it's not all rainbows and sunshine either.

[@jessicamedita7520]

@@Ay0ubM where in the world are there no people suffering ou begging? Can u tell me?

[@Ay0ubM]

@@jessicamedita7520 I didn't mean to be insensitive. I know there are beggars in every country.. It just seems like it's more acceptable in Africa, by even "normal" working people. I see even school children beg, almost as if they have been trained to. It's very sad for me..

[@jessicamedita7520]

@@Ay0ubM it is necessary u to know that Africa is not a country, but a continent and that there are more than 50 countries in it. thus, there are countries where there are people who are more needy than others, there are countries where there are illiterate people and others not, there are countries where black people have never come into contact with white people, just as there are people who live with white people all day long and that does not mean absolutely nothing for them, there are whites and blacks in the streets begging. Your problem is to see a mostly black African and think he is in need of your money. my dear, Africa has rich people too

[@jabbahursty]

it certainly has opened my eyes. like many in the west, i just presume africa is starving, everyone runs around naked with spears screaming voodoo spells at each other. i feel silly having believed this as i now see that africa is pretty much like anywhere else. you can live in a city in africa and have everythying you can need just the same as anywhere else, only a lot cheaper than in north america or europe. it is good that someone finally shows us real life in africa!

Loving your vlogs. Om my next trip back to TZ I hope to visit Mwanza and the Serengeti. You're living my best life😊. Traveling back to Arusha on a bus from Nairobi in December, i met a young American like yourself, who got married to a native TZ girl and lives in Moshi. He is into banana agri business. We had a good chat going along the trip to Arusha. I also met a young irishman when taking a Precision Airline from Kilimanjaro Airport to Dar in November last year (2020) who lives in Dar es Salaam and he too is having a great time there. You are a natural anthropologist and after seeing several of your vids I am amazed at your fluency in so.many languages. Most Americans rarely speak 2 languages and so far you speak several languages, including swahili. I was in east Africa for 90 days and barely got out Mambo and Asante Saana. Im proud of you and envious at the same time. I hope to meet you if you're still there when i return. Safe travels.

I had no idea that Lake Victoria was just 400,000 years old. In the geological time period, that is very young! Not an expert but I think that also explains why the rocks around the lake are large. Nature hasn't had enough time to break them down into smaller rocks and soil.

Creation science is the antithesis to mainstream "science" which is really a form of religion.
