Avoid this man in Sri Lanka! 🇱🇰

- ■ SRI LANKA, COLOMBO: "Be careful he is a bad man", they kept repeating as I wandered around a vegetable market on the outskirts of Colombo. Then 'the accused' told me that the people who told me to avoid him were bad themselves. Who was I to believe?
Intent on not making a hasty decision I decided to wait it out and see as this was a unique market experience unlike no other.
this episode is totally insane!!
Harald you are a modern santa claus♡♡
Totally, I am insane like you!
It's srilanka's garbage town :D
Smf!
In this video all people make fun of yours and that old scam man was drunk and he was let u by all the thing such a stupid old man
Guide was telling the honest prices, Also he said others that give you the correct change. He was telling sellers that you're recording and you want show prices to the world
And he's just drunk and recommending you everything
@@ishitharajapakse9675 drunk people do speak truth things too believe it or not 😅
yea like why should i avoid him?
I hope "Avoid this man in Sri Lanka!" was sarcastic, because that dude actually helped him NOT get ripped off.

"Can you turn off the music?"
Fuck yeah!

A white man is trying to make a video here
The title is misleading . The poor guy was so honest and as everyone has mentioned he helped you all throughout.
That's the point dude.. if you know how good Harald is to the people he meets then you would know what the title meant
At the beginning the guy was trying to jack up the prices. When the old man realized he was hip to the game, he changed tactics.
@Frank DeFalco third world countries are gonna be cheaper
That’s why there’s a DeSCription🤦🏿♀️
It's sarcastic and funny and if you watched the vid you should know that it was a kind joking title. Otherwise you just won't make it in this world and I feel real sorry for you.

alright Adolf calm down.

Hahah yeah that made no sense😂
The shop owner said he was a bad guy because he wouldnt let the shops scam you. He is a very good guy, deserved the 5k. The guy you really should be avoiding is the "bodyguard" at the end
@UCy0aJRTcmJJJtTSqAC8EutQ Yeah, that guy did look pretty shady. What I want to know is, what was he trying to do or offer when he was gesturing towards the lady at the end?
@@user-ld8ep5qr7m That's what I wondered, too. Like he was asking "want some of her?"

Big fan xD MR SLAV
Fancy seeing u here mr slav
Hello i am your biggest fan
🤣
That guy is a polite guy, even he blamed some shop keepers who tried to rip you off. He deserved 5k
Did u understand everything ? I just could hear out some words - either im really bad or they aint speaking clearly
9:34 The guy is insisting the seller: "Return the change properly without making me a thief..."
@@leechee5721 I'm from sri lanka, I understood most of it
@@nayanadewasurendra4089 Ah okay then my tamil is just bad
ya i'm so confused why the title is "avoid this guy'. guy helped him the whole way and even stopped the seller from scamming him on change. Then he Offered to tip the guide, the guide didn't even ask, obviously he was probably expecting it but he offered first so i'm so confused.
That man was the sweetest. He didn't have to guide you around but he did. God bless him!
You should change the title Harald :(
That guy escorted you to ensure you weren't getting ripped off. He knew the prices. He saved you a couple times.
The guy saying he is bad is because they wants him to go away so they can overcharge you.
Ryan Shafraz well the old guy didn’t ask for it.. It was harald who gave him the Rs 5000.. it isn’t the old mans fault for accepting the money.. common sense 👌
Change for topic
Watch his other vids this guys his freind

Seems like he was protecting you. At 9.40 he blamed the salesman for not giving you the changes back and other salesman insulting him for that. He was a good guy. So i think you should change the caption...🤔
Did you see this halrad..
He won't change the title cos he's a click baiting clown taking advantage of a guy who was trying to help him
yeah that's true
That is true you can tell by the way the salesperson responded by mocking the old guy as they walked away.
@@KianX22 he gave him $70 chill
I'm shocked nobody is talking about that woman who was selling tomotoes!
She fell in love with Harald. 😂
She was lovely!!!
She literally said at 14:30 she was joking
You obviously don't have personality

I'm sure it was becuase she knew he had money...

Harald that guide guy is honest. While those sellers were trying to cheat your money he forced them to treat you nice and give proper balance.
9:34 The guy is insisting the seller: "Return the change properly without making me a thief..."
@@freecommentor true.. may be that guy is poor in money but rich in heart
What a nice man mate
Harald @ 9.30 seconds when the old guy selling mangoes tried to short change you, but your guide actually stopped that.
Walking around in that heat helping them out by buying their vegetables. You're a good Viking Harold.
You guys need to chill about Harald changing the title. He's just clickbaiting the viewers. He tipped the old man $70 for helping him so what's all the fuss about!?
Agree
The fuss is about the title.
5000sri lankan ruppees is more like 23 something usd
How am I supposed to know he changed the title
its 20 euros actually
"Remember the day the strange talking white man came to our home and fed us for a week"

4:21 Brother, you bought 40 leaves just for the hell of it. You, my friend, have a heart of gold.
He does
Those leaves might be for chewing with the betel nut that he also bought, so he got the right ingredients totally by chance
They are betel leaves. You can bite those and also even in five star hotels use these for cooking
साल को पात्😋😋😋
@Renee Lisette cynical much? He's out there interacting and helping by buying from them. What are you doing, complaining on TH-cam. Your opinion sucks.
I think I’ve figured out what Harald’s mission is on these “vacation/travel vlogs”. Not only is he there to enjoy himself, but his hidden agenda is to help the less fortunate people in these areas, subtly by purchasing their goods and/or tipping them by way. ;) I see right through you Mr. Harald
they r not less fortune people they earn a lot.U dont see it
These amateur travelog wankers are massive egotists. It's not about them it's about him.
@@spngled8654 exactly!
Spot on.
You my friend are an idiot. He is luring the millions of people from your country to watch his videos to make money from your views. Thats why he visits these 3rd world countries because they are also cheap to stay in
Hey Herald, I'm Sri Lankan and I speak both the languages (Tamil and Sinhala). From what I heard the guide at the start doesn't seem like a bad guy at all. He's just maybe half sober. All the others are just friendly people showing their hospitality and doing business. No one tried to cheat/scam you. However I must warn that there are scammers out there.
The women you gave the vegetables to was speaking Tamil and the Sinhala speaking driver didn't understand. She basically just wanted to show you her small son.
Sri Lanka is a great place and I'm sure you'd love our hospitality and friendliness! Welcome to Sri Lanka and enjoy our culture!
And also Herald, you're a good man :)
@@noneya246 I don't think he is. He just want to get Harald to help his household too. He was saying "My home, my home" and pointing some other direction 25:07.
I don't think the Tamil speaking lady just want to show her baby to Harald for nothing. She was probably hoping to get some more donation out of kind hearted white man.
Yes, Sri Lanka is very welcoming and safe country to travel. But that area he went to give those donation is bit rough. Not because of they are bad people, it is just the level of poverty make them go bit wild when they see some wealth + generosity.
I think the tuk tuk driver understood the whole situation better and took Harald outta there by saying he will be back.
I'm Irish, so I've no idea of what's being said here but I will tell you that the guy in the white top at the very end was up to no good. His body language was ... off.
Yes tuk tuk driver saved him from trouble
Change the title harald, that Man save you from others.

@@kazyeon3597His actual name is Dougie, short for Douglas. I know the dude.
Today while grocery shopping, i thought about your videos and i baught a little bit extra food and gave it away to an homeless man. inspired by you harald.
Thank you for being awesome and keep spreading your good vibs!
that is something id like to do..buy food and give it away to people who need it.
This is what we need in the world.
I do same.
I am surprised by the level of integrity these vendors have. I thought you would get ripped off when you spend money carelessly. But they all sold you those vegetables for the genuine price. The man that guided you made sure that you get the quality food for the genuine price. The mango seller wanted to keep 100 for himself when you gave him 500.00. But that man guided you insisted him to give you the change. Sometimes you can find the honesty and integrity from strangest of places.
well said .
yeah true he is very genuine man its worth u gave that money to him.
Trying to find a poor person in Sri Lanka? Find the president. He is poor in spirit
Your "market guide" just loading you up on all those random veggies was too much 🤗 What humble dude😃
Avoid this man in Sri Lanka = he becomes tourist attraction. People will flew to Sri Lanka to meet this man.

Lol that would be cool

One of the best things i watched.
You buying stuff randomly without knowing wtf it is is soo funny xD
Hey hey! That’s true!! Lol 😂
This was so weirdly heartwarming and saddening at the same time.. The poor man is trying to keep him from getting scammed meanwhile every marketplace owner is calling out he's a bad man cause he's keeping them from scamming people.. the world is such a messed up place we're lucky to have people like Harald and the man who escorted him!!
Also I'm impressed with how much he was carrying at the end of the video
As a sri lankan im very proud of your guide. He protected and guide you through the market but some vendors took advantage of you but your guide never betrayed you he just translated the cost. And those people saying that he's a bad guy is just joking its there way to joke between them. Be safe thank you for visiting sri lanka
Yo, that dude got 5k rupees! Richest man walking there. lol
Harald has a great Heart, he gave 5000 Sri Lankan Rupees (2000 INR ) to the Guide
$72 USD
how much is that in dollars, like 20 dollars?
@@chrislaubach_ lol is it i thought it's like 20
@@melxb $72.52 USD

the mango man was trying to scam but he told to give the change :D (your guide)
A lot of people were trying to scam more rupees and the guide was telling the honest prices
Yeah I’ve noticed too.. well Harald is shopping in the worst of colombo.Even us locals get scammed 😅
nice, best salesman who is honest. very rare combo.
Thats why he deserved that 5k tip!
I work there and I even scammed myself.

“Why your not married” part was funny 😂😂😂
@ KNworld, I too think so. :-)
that woman was so flirty with you lol love it
They don't joke in bed though pound well
Btw the lady at the very end said “I have a small baby and the food is for the baby” and she asked the driver to translate it to you but I don’t think he did anyways awesome work man 👍👍👍
at the end of the video those two women was saying to the auto driver that they have a small kid in the house and they asked the driver to mention that info to Harald..perhaps she was expecting more empathy from Mr Harald.. she was speaking ( Tamil ) the second language in sri lanka tamils are mostly located in the north of the country and around the world, there are lot of srilankan tamils in norway too..on the other hand the auto driver is a sinhalese guy he didn't understand what they were talking about (Sinhala language) which is the main language in Sri lanka.
you mean the white striped shirt ,, ( the guy to whom harald paid 5000 rupees at the end), if yes.. that guy lives in the market, no house,no family, single,, he was trying to get some money out of all those shopping which harald made, by telling them sometimes the wrong prices of products.., he wasn't really honest,

I think that Sir Lanken man was trying to marry him 🤣😂😭
Harold, those prices are fair and nobody ripped you off except the mango seller who tried to keep the change. Stay away from the last place. Btw that orange color coconut is a amazing drink which keeps you hydrated in a hot day.
What was that last place?
Well he did ask to be driven to an ultra poor area.

don't you buy this stuff around where you live at?
I think many of those are typical cooking ingredients for their dishes, except for the betel leaves which is like chewing tobacco lol

Now I got u ,ur intention is to help other not shopping at all ,now God is seeing u from above n saying that's my son ! 👍😢😊 Such a generous man !
It’s a good morning to wake up with Harald!
Lankan here.
The first old man tagging along with you is an obvious drug addict. We call them Kudu Karaya. It is a localised version of heroine. A much cheaper version I should say. You can tell it from the way he walks and talks, which is why people were warning you to stay away from him, if you had not given him that 5000 rupee note he would have cause a huge scene or even worse harmed you to get the money( around a 1000 would have sufficed to be honest with u). Rs. 5000 would support him for around 3 to 4 days, since once kudu pack is about Rs.1200 ( this is basically micrograms of the drug). At least he helped u get the honest prices. Second, the people who you gave the vegetables too are hustlers. You can see it from their facial expressions and what they said to the tuk tuk driver. They were trying to exploit your empathy for all its worth. The tuktuk driver actually saved you by saying that he will bring you back tomorrow. The second body guard was literally a person you avoid. Be careful man, Lankans are not like the Chinese, we are very aggressive people.
It is not a crime to have to live in poverty, and its also not a crime to ask for help for your family in anyway possible, sometimes even by forced sympathy...
Being addicted to heroin is a tragic life, its a sickness, and rather then ostracizing addicts we should help them, just like Harald did so despite the addiction they too can live in dignity and pride. You shouldnt be so quick to judge, compassion and kindness is everything.

: ??????

: Ohhhhhh Germany !
gets me everytime :DDd
@shaq4958 He always says it. Most people don't know the smaller countries and when you tell them a major country they nod and agree. It's an easy way to quickly move past a point in conversations where the other person might be stumped.
@@coreylatta It's not really that Norway is a smaller country than Germany. In actual fact, Norway is slightly bigger than Germany. They all, very likely, know where Norway (the country) is, but the problem is that they know it by the name "Norve" (नॉर्वे / நார்வே / නෝර්වේ). However, Germany does not have this problem, since it has roughly the same pronunciation in Hindi/Sinhala/Tamil as in English.
Harald Baldr always helps local vendors or poor people with action.
