Abdirahman did great job showing you around Footscray and finally dropped off your motel, he’s very humble young man somali I’m proud of him what he did that’s really nice of him…
❤❤❤ HEY mate from Melbourne! I'm in Chadstone but 35 years ago when I arrived from Uruguay that was my crib lol Scary stairs aye? 😂 Thank you for this beauty and the algorithm brought me to you! Viva Mama Africa! 🙏🏻💜💋
@Czechineffect You made my morning brighter!!! I laughed and loved 🥰 Did you find Sudanese food? It's Wednesday so you might be on your way home as you said. Welcome to Australia 🙏🏻❤
@Czechineffect Khartoum is a Sudanese food place on 43 Paisley St, Footscray VIC 3011! Some in Frankston but most could be under the Umbrella of "West Africa" I bet I'm super late with the info lol
This is what I miss about Melbourne! The Culture! Foodies paradise ~ South Melbourne Markets for the dumplings at lunch and then pop over to Footscray for dinner at an Ethiopian restaurant.
Footscray!! Never thought a tourist would visit😂 Its a cool lil spot with all types of different food, can get dangerous at night time in the main streets and the apartment flats. But during the day when you went you’ll be alright!!
@@evoids because of the youth gangs at night you cant see them but they use knives when they attack you and young so run off I mean like in late teens or 20's last year one attacked a grandmother and her grand daughter in the carpark of shopping center this is why. We are multicultural and most folks are fine ok but you know since some from countries we brought here as refugees well its reason. I might add it was a Pastor African resident that tried to save the Grandmother after the attack but was too late she died. Most of our Migrants are fine we mix ok just a few dont.. Plus our First Nation People in some places are like this too need to be careful at night in some towns.
It was an interesting cultural difference between USA & Australia that you went through the parking lot to find the restaurants first; in the US I notice that's usually the case, the parking lot is in front of the shopfronts so you walk to the door from your car. In Australia it's typically the opposite. Parking lots like that are hidden away at the back so they were the rear of each shop, usually just used for deliveries, the shopfronts never face the parking lots.
@@Czechineffect Yes. It's called Northern territory. The thing with Australia is that its biggest cities are so far from each other apart from Melbourne and Sydney and the interior (outback) is pretty much dry, parched and empty.
Bruh I Keri ya shyt on repeat. Aye man, I was one of them ones like, why bruh always talking bout being robbed, and I thought about it. If I gotta stay on point in the states, you definitely gotta stay frosty abroad!! You right to be overly vigilant whenever you see fit!! It seems like you don’t got in a mean rhythm wit dis shyt. Congratulations and keep it coming!!💯💯💯💯
@@nathalienarainne8938 Indeed, Footscray already had a beautiful multicultural environment back then, and it was a way more diverse ethnic mixture back then than it is now. I wonder whether people saying stuff like this now, were never even around back then to see it? They'd never even heard of Franco Cozzo. Viva Foottas-Cray!
@@mdjcsmith I Don't Think That The New Comer Would Know How Footscray Was. For Example @masieray He Says That Footscray Is Currently The Best Due To Its Beautiful Multicultural Environment.

@@nathalienarainne8938 They're full of ignorance. Has to be a newcomer foisting a false narrative, anyone who grew up there knows how ignorant their statement that was. We all grew up in a very multi-ethnic Australia
I lived in Footscray for 40 plus years. Was there before the Vietnamese boat people in the 1970s. Used to be predominantly working class Australians and South European migrants. Then came waves of many different nationalities. Once a brilliant shopping centre, the best in the West. The scourge of drugs and large shopping centres built elsewhere saw the demise of Coles Variety Store, Forges, Clarke Rubber, Alexander Mens wear, Mckwens, Datner fur and leather, quality white goods, furniture boutiques..
I was born and raised in Footscray almost 50 years. You were killing me looking for Nandos 😂 It’s one of the most diverse places in the country, culturally and socio economically. It looks poor but trust me it’s not a poor suburb. You missed the opportunity to highlight its Vietnamese culture, especially the food and Footscray’s nightlife, not clubs but the restaurants and pubs, going out to eat in Footscray at night is one of the best things to do.
When travelling in Melbourne don't need to be scared we like people who are friendly and gravitate towards there positivity. Melbourians rarely say hello to strangers but once in awhile a good samaritan will come along and make our day. Also Melbournes famous for graffitis but honestly prefer Brisbane artists.
Hi, I am new to your channel. Great job highlighting African culture. I am very familiar with Footscray, but usually buy Asian food there. Lived in a few African countries. Lived in Gambia for 4 years and married a Gambian man. Living there was too harsh, so I had to come back. Keep up the good work and I wish you success, Inshaala. Elizabeth
This is my first time seeing your channel .Somali Melbeoure subscribed, lonest walk looking Suddanese food and young Somali man lit loved stay being humble
@ Footscray has changed more than my fashion sense over the past 40 years. Went from being Italian, Jewish and Greek plus a smidge of German, English and old Aussie. Then the Vietnamese came and that was the status quo for a decade or two, and suddenly H was available all over the place. Then the African people came and that’s the story so far. Footscray is probably one of the most unique places on the plant these days🤷♀️🫶🏻xx
You mean that they speak our dialogue because they flopped here like they do in Naples and Paris and London and just tell us we are racist and take advantage of the western life but tell us how bad we are and don't want to assimilate before you tell me to leave I have Aboriginal heritage I don't dislike any other ethnic background other than Africans my relative's who are very dark Torris Straight Islanders from Noth Queensland will not even serve Africans in their shop's or speak to them I laughed so hard that black Australian's hate black Africans so much
How similar is Eritrean to Ethiopian food? Love that injera. Just moved to Footscray after 30 years since studying at the TAFE. Thanks for doing what you do! ❤
Footscray is great. I am a 6th generation white Australian, and ill be honest, I feel safer in Australia when in suburbs with more Black and Brown people.
Safe to record anywhere in Australia Broski, You'll be fine. Anyone who says it may be dangerous to record in a certain area is full of it and trying to act hard. Alice Springs is the only place I can think of that is somewhat dangerous.
Been a footscray local for over 2 years and you see all sorts. If your ever around id be happy to give you a tour of all the cool spots. Also another place to check out is sunshine 😊 lots of africans there . Also make sure you check out aftican food festival friday to sunday this week.
I can't believe this place and Im an Albino Aussie. I cannot believe they were upset with you filming! Tell them to go to buggery mate. I am a subscriber love your work, come up to Coffs Harbour NSW, the real world, those Vics are inbred down there. lol, Come up to Coffs and get a meat pie into ya, Lord of the Pies Coffs Harbour
I ate one of the most DELICIOUS MEALS RIGHT THEREEE. But I am all the way from the city of Casey brooo. Had to go past the city just to get my black self braided bro 😅
I grew up in Footscray through the 90’s and early 2000’s. Back in the 90’s it was 90% Vietnamese and the heroine trade was at its peak. It was actually way rougher back in the 90’s. Will always love Footscray, mainly for its diversity. I still go there to shop at the markets.
Bruh, around 10:25 you passed a Black barber shop with the open sign lit. If the Brothers in the shop don't know where the good eats at then it doesn't exist.
Dear TH-camr from Miami - you walked on the street but on the other side - it’s Cdj Juba , 10 Paisley Street, Footscray , you have to walk towards the tram, all the busses are on the street 😊
You passed Juba at the very start of the video and the first South Sudanese guys you met pointed to you it was just behind you. When you asked if it was the best that's where you lost it as you kept wandering looking for Nando's. Just FYI Juba is the capital city of South Sudan, it is not called Juda. Shout out to the same Somali guy for hospitality. Glad to see little Africa in Melbourne with most countries represented by flags including our very own Kenya 🇰🇪.
People are shocked to see we have hoods in Australia. These areas are usually cheap and that's why you see mixed race. Usually areas built in the 70's, 80's and 90's that were new developments had failed. Along with some older places close to the CBD's that are also of low wealth. They look nice but run down because the government threw lots of funding into these places when they were new until collapse
Likes comments that call other races cave men. It's unfortunate because he seems like a friendly guy and doesn't come across as racist in the videos. Thought I found a good travel channel for a minute.
Footscray despite it’s rough exterior is still a very functioning area. It atrracts not only migrants from Africa and Asia, it also attracts city workers and students due to the city being only 9minutes by train. Footscray has a University and Hospital. All of the surrounding suburbs are affluent high middle areas, new high rise appartments. The little square you stumbled across does atrract people who struggle with substance abuse and some mentally challenged people , most are very harmless despite initial appearances. There are also high school and universities students frequently in and around that square. The reason i started renting nearby is that you have the markets, all of the different restaurants from all over the world and great cafes. There is a beautiful river with walking tracks and botancial gardens. One of melbournes major shopping malls is also 8minutes away on light rail. The area is also only 20minutes to the international airport. But everyone you meet are friendly, will have conversations with you, people from all backgrounds in this area are very giving, and i know most people in the shops on a first name basis which can be very rare in other inner city areas in Melbourne. The people make this area great and safe
i grew up here. Back in the 70's and 80's alot of italians, greeks and balkans lived there. then the Vietnamese arrived in mid 80's. Then mid 90's until now african migrants. It always been a safe area.
Wrong, Vietnamese arrived in mid 70's and onwards, after the fall of South Vietnam! Now Footscray is just a Ghetto compared to the 1960's and early 70's before HighPoint was built.
Have a gander up North in Cairns Queensland Not a big city but plenty to explore in and around the region, plus the great barrier reef, Im Aboriginal my brother inlaw is 7ft chinaman that got scholarship with a Melbourne NBL team, He's got a YT channel also he made when we took him out bush camping
I take my granddaughter (7) to Footscray a lot, have done for years. We attended a festival in the main drag and it was fantastic. The food, music and arts is awesome. They have a lot of different African celebrations all year round and It’s a safe place with great food. It’s not the cleanest area because the council spent too much money on building up an urban section just down to the south. A lots of apartments, parks and trendy restaurants in the urban section (yuk). I’ve meet my gf there for dinner and I always get the train. It’s close to a huge university and the 2nd biggest shopping centre with a huge multicultural community. Mate it’s not dangerous and the best part about it there is no Macca’s. KFC etc in this section. If a want to ask questions about best place to eat or get a coffee I usually ask someone at the tram stops. Great pub about 400 mtr past the supermarkets. The library is worth a visit because of the huge African, Vietnamese and Indian community. The art centre near the library is amazing. The place goes off on a Sunday.
Wow..another comment saying that. I can't believe how many people are surprised. I'm surprised at their surprise..lol. We are like a lot of other countries around the world. We are up there when it comes to multiculturalism. Almost every nationality is found here.
We are multi cultures in very heavy sense. Just like little African, you can find little Vietnamese, little Chinese, little Indonesia, little India, little Nepal, little Japanese, little Korea, little Italy, little Lebanese, little Greek, even Russia, Germany, Spain, etc. Australia is a little Earth by itself with every countries from every corner gather in one continent, we are one but many.
Czech I'm watching your latest video you posted about 12hours ago.. I'm watching from South Africa. I've watched all of your videos and I'm happy you posted again. I subscribed to your channel and convinced three other people to so. You just made the rest of my day bro, it's 10:30 in the morning in South Africa.. I just like your spirit brother, God bless🙏🏾🙏🏾💯
It's good that you are vibing with all blacks including aborginal people who are indigenous. I love how you are educated and open minded. I'm American and lived in Australia with aboriginal,Africans and lsianders. You will see that we are all the same once you live with them. the africans are repping as well. Keep it up. Northern Queensland is dope as well like Brisbane, Townsville and Cairns.
Im sorry Czech..but I had to laugh at your Juba struggle. You said everything but Juba...Yuda, Juda etc lol 😂😂😂 Juba..the capital of South Sudan 😊 ❤ The restaurant you found that was closed was called Khartoum, capital of Sudan. I think you still didnt find the Juba restaurant??!
wow use to be vietnamesse living there its changed a lot now as long u keep to u self u ok if not then u in the wrong place its a ok place there someone in that shop but maybe not what u think should be closed down stick to the main streets people send u wrong places as unusual thats dirty now u need try second city Melbourne dandenong or frankston u like it there also
Worked in Footscray in 97 and it was predominantly Vietnamese people. Tons of " H" everywhere but awesome food. Now African food available, Melbourne has every food you can think of.
You love Ethiopian food, you love Ethiopian women but you hate the Ethiopian people! Lol! Typical cave man, I'm Aboriginal Australian. I support my BLK American brothers!. European males enslaved, colonized and subjugated our people for over three generations! European men tried to breed the melanin out of our skin! I respect you DBN for speaking out for all oppressed people globally, much love man...!!!

But everyone you meet are friendly, will have conversations with you, people from all backgrounds in this area are very giving, and i know most people in the shops on a first name basis which can be very rare in other inner city areas in Melbourne. The people make this area great and safe
Not even close when compared to value for money for new citizens and free white Wemen in Dandenong!
Looks alright to me, better than American nice cities.
While under the Andrews spell somehow all the buildings and other structures were razed except for a few enclaves reserved for the BLOCK.
Where's the spoons mate ?
Its African food bro, you use your fingers 😊😊
lol
What camera you use?
Go back to where you turned left and met that guy, Keep going down and across the street is Nandos
Got it lol
Lol I was the chick In your video with the red hair. 😂 I'm not usually yelling and screaming like that
😂 you’re beautiful!
i grew up here. Back in the 70's and 80's alot of italians, greeks and balkans lived there. then the Vietnamese arrived in mid 80's. Then mid 90's until now african migrants. It always been a safe area.
@@FoodieTrekker Only for locals! 😥
Wrong, Vietnamese arrived in mid 70's and onwards, after the fall of South Vietnam! Now Footscray is just a Ghetto compared to the 1960's and early 70's before HighPoint was built.

Have a gander up North in Cairns Queensland Not a big city but plenty to explore in and around the region, plus the great barrier reef, Im Aboriginal my brother inlaw is 7ft chinaman that got scholarship with a Melbourne NBL team, He's got a YT channel also he made when we took him out bush camping
I suggest you visit Noble Park or Dandenong they have a great variety of Sudanese food. Good to see you in Australia 😊
In Brisbane there is Morooka. Lots of different African restaurants.
I take my granddaughter (7) to Footscray a lot, have done for years. We attended a festival in the main drag and it was fantastic. The food, music and arts is awesome. They have a lot of different African celebrations all year round and It’s a safe place with great food. It’s not the cleanest area because the council spent too much money on building up an urban section just down to the south. A lots of apartments, parks and trendy restaurants in the urban section (yuk). I’ve meet my gf there for dinner and I always get the train. It’s close to a huge university and the 2nd biggest shopping centre with a huge multicultural community. Mate it’s not dangerous and the best part about it there is no Macca’s. KFC etc in this section. If a want to ask questions about best place to eat or get a coffee I usually ask someone at the tram stops. Great pub about 400 mtr past the supermarkets. The library is worth a visit because of the huge African, Vietnamese and Indian community. The art centre near the library is amazing. The place goes off on a Sunday.
Why you didn’t mention Somali the population of Footscray area some of them are Somali.
I never thought that this many black people was in Australia. never thought about it to be honest. Interesting and thanks for this.
Yea Africans and all is running from their own countries and taking over others, Sad...you should see at least one ABORIGINAL.
Plenty . Media will show you the Australia they want you to see.
Wow..another comment saying that.
I can't believe how many people are surprised.
I'm surprised at their surprise..lol.
We are like a lot of other countries around the world.
We are up there when it comes to multiculturalism.
Almost every nationality is found here.
Because it's not many. Less than 1% of the Australian population is black African around 300k out of 28Million
We are multi cultures in very heavy sense. Just like little African, you can find little Vietnamese, little Chinese, little Indonesia, little India, little Nepal, little Japanese, little Korea, little Italy, little Lebanese, little Greek, even Russia, Germany, Spain, etc. Australia is a little Earth by itself with every countries from every corner gather in one continent, we are one but many.
You are looking for Juba not yuba, Juba is the capital city of South Sudan 🇸🇸.
Thanks for the video I see lots of my country mate there South Sudanese
Czech I'm watching your latest video you posted about 12hours ago.. I'm watching from South Africa. I've watched all of your videos and I'm happy you posted again.

The Asians Shops Has Been There For 30+Years. The African Are New And Now They Are Taking Over Footscray

Damn. The weather looks so nice ☺️
It's good that you are vibing with all blacks including aborginal people who are indigenous. I love how you are educated and open minded. I'm American and lived in Australia with aboriginal,Africans and lsianders. You will see that we are all the same once you live with them. the africans are repping as well. Keep it up. Northern Queensland is dope as well like Brisbane, Townsville and Cairns.

The restaurant you found that was closed was called Khartoum, capital of Sudan.

That African brother that took you out to eat and dropped you off was the real African Hospitality!
oh yea for sure 100 percent
@Czechineffect why didn't you ask him where Nandos is?
@@Butterfly-jt6cr He was definitely an Australian, we are always helpful and kind, he only looked African! 😄
He said hes from NZ, usually ppl are more hospitable and open within his culture (somalian) yet also within polynesian or pacific island cultures.
@@SpiritGvn I'll watch again, I'm sure he said he grew up in Australia but had also lived in New Zealand!
Perfect 👌🏾
Glad you liked it!
You'll find actual Black Australians in CAIRNS, NORTH QUEENSLAND.
Worked in Footscray in 97 and it was predominantly Vietnamese people. Tons of " H" everywhere but awesome food. Now African food available, Melbourne has every food you can think of.
So nice to see how helpful the you guy was to you and to give you a lift home to your hotel ❤
Yea he is a cool brother
Footscrazy! My man!
Damn that Somali saved your video
wow i grew up fotscray in the 80s, thought Chinese suppose were after us now its black land wow
I love Ethiopian food…I usually go with my family every weekend my children and wife love it ….
You love Ethiopian food, you love Ethiopian women but you hate the Ethiopian people! Lol! Typical cave man, I'm Aboriginal Australian. I support my BLK American brothers!. European males enslaved, colonized and subjugated our people for over three generations! European men tried to breed the melanin out of our skin! I respect you DBN for speaking out for all oppressed people globally, much love man...!!!
Even though the area is not that nice to look at, the people were all polite, friendly & getting on with thier lives.
