My last video from Zanzibar, and also apparently my longest one yet! I unintentionally created a damn movie for this one. Enjoy this strange journey in Mandarin and Swahili through rural mosques, Soviet architecture, medicine doctors and lots and lots of mavi. Good to be back
Because our leaders are selfish and do nothing but try to divide us based on religion, race, ethnicity, social status, sexuality, etc. The people of the world have a lot more in common than our leaders do.
I love this guy and I appreciate his respect and love for the people. I also appreciate the fact that he doesn’t let people try to get over on him. And let’s not talk abt how he speaks so many different languages. This guy is amazing
Bao is a common player in zanzibar. 10:00 a boy has answers your questions very well. Those building and others located at Michenzani, Kilimani in Unguja Island and others located at Pemba Island were built by the first president of zanzibar the late Karume who then told the residents to stay freely during that time.
Just discovered your channel a week ago and I have watched a bunch of your videos. I have to say you have big balls going to the places you go but I appreciate the raw experience you give through your videos, thank you and much respect to you
I have only been to like 7 states in total and most are in south east, never left the country. I am also missing out, I hate it . I wish currency wasn't so vital to have experiences like this
Love your authentic “raw” vlogs. Very much appreciate being able to travel with you. Please keep up the positive fraternal vibes. The world needs you more than ever ! Salama ndugu- from Canada.
I hate to admit this but all the other Americans who are black who moved to Dar, you out did them. You cared a lot more about the learning the culture and it shows. You are real deal much respect kaka. I'll be there may 26. Hopefully we can link up
@@thekinginvestor47 if you think the quality of a person is defined by their skin color than you’re racist. “Stay in your lane” 🙄. I wasn’t even trying to talk down to you in the first place.
@@SabbaticalTommy I heard you speaking russian on the russian beach episode. You sounded natural to me. I hope you can make it to a russian speaking country soon. That would be good content and practice for you
I think my accent was worse than usual in this one 😂 You'll have to leave behind chipsi mayai/zege to go to New York, but you'll get to try New York pizza for the first time in exchange
Salute Tommy, you really explored Zanzibar, I am from Dar es Salaam, I've been to Zanzibar a couple of times but I haven't been to half of the places you visited especially for the natives. Well done 👏🏾
Stumbled upon this channel idk how or why but literally launched this on my 65” and me and wifey watched back to back videos. I hope VICE or some network picks you up. You seem so chill and really had us engaged and you editing is awesome. Keep going “white man” lol
Wow, you speak Mandarin as well! Loved the island tour. And since you return to the continent, I can only expect to become more and more interesting. Looking forward for future videos with locals that have never talked with an European prior meeting you. Beautiful channel, very genuine content, thanks for the uploads!
@@AliciaMully I don't know how they met, but most likely when he saw her Tommy started talking in Mandarin and since he was the only guy that new her language they connected and probably decided to travel together a bit.
Thank you for the travel vlog. I am fascinated with foreign countries. They have so much culture we can learn from. When I start watching, I "get hooked" on all I see that I have never seen in person before. I traveled around India, Sri Lanka, and Bangladesh years ago, and I love it. So thanks for giving us the pleasure of traveling with you.
I do envy people with a talent for languages. It is amazing how you pick them up, I know you study but it seems mush easier than it is for me. Love the videos.
24:12 "Makumbi" is the fiber-like material from dried coconut husks, it can be used to make rope, "kamba", this type of rope is very common in Zanzibar, it is normally brown in color, many hardware shops sell it, just ask for kamba ya makumbi, you can also google coconut husk rope.
I have enjoyed your vlogs bro!!... Same of your swahili word made me laugh a lot,( unataka kufanya picha 😂) The medicine man was not a witchcraft, he was a traditional medicine docto.Hopefully you will be visiting other part of Tanzania.
@@lovemidou9619 understand my statement: Yes God is in spirit and you can contact him only by holy spirit NOT spirits. Holy spirit dwells in your heart is a person and not persons; and you do not need to do anything or use anything to contact/speak to holy spirit...you communicate within your heart!
@@JOHN16verse33 You make no sense. You see i feel very pity when i see Africans don't know nothing about their spirituality. The way you're talking I'm assuming you're a Christian in the holy bible how many sacrifices you saw Abraham, Jacob, David ,Salomon etc.... did for their God? Did they call the holy spirit inside of them? If Africa is really the birthplace of humanity how come we don't know God before colonization? How come we have to wait for the bible to finish from another race to let us know God? Now tell me how come some Africans can call spirits from earth,sky, water ,fire who teaches them the knowledge they have about herbs, agriculture way of survival before colonization? I find that God is racist if he did something like that left us in the dark for so long . Spirituality is freedom ok .
I am really impressed by how multilingual you are! I don't understand any Swahili, but I know mandarin and you can speak pretty good mandarin too! Good job and I enjoy watching your videos!
Most likely the building was East German, just like the Michenzani flats in town. I staid there in 1980 for a few months. There were also North Koreans in the city.
Imagine how nice itd be if SOMEONE just decided to take care of the roads.... Stop, fill in a hole a day.... Make it a community project.... Could maybe even run pipes, and proper power after that.. It starts 1 road at a time.. I see the foriegn hotel owners dont give anything back....... Makes me want to visit. Good video my friend
I loved the video! As a swahili teacher, i can't help myself not to improve your swahili. -Mwalimu wa* Kiswahili sio ya kiswahili :) -Unachota maji? (more correctly than unapata maji) -You like to use Mbalimbali for different, you can also use tofauti e.g tofauti tofauti :) -Jengo hili* lina miaka mingapi? sio jengo hii (keep reading on noun classes :) -Inaitwaje? better than unasemaje hii kwa kiswahili... -jina lako ni nani* sio nini :) nani - who, nini - what -Unaweza kunishikia? to mean please hold it for me, sio kuninunua means to buy me? -Sina magonjwa or siumwi to mean i am not sick sio sina mgonjwa which means I have no patient -24:10 At the Kigaeni beach, Hamidi was trying to explain about mothers who make ropes using makumbi but at first I thought it was sisal. They beat the makumbi to get rope ( Kina mama wanapiga kamba) - Mtaani means at the streets "yupo huko mtaani" he is around, in the streets...village is kijijini but you translated well too could mean he was back in the village, i got that impression as well -Maji - water, maziwa - milk...ng'ombe anataka maji (the cow wants water not milk) haha - Hamidi said inanuka meaning it smells / stinks like the poo, not you could fall into it :) Lastly, did you say "baki salama?" or what did you say at the end? I couldn't hear it well. Asante for another great video even myself as a Tanzanian, I am learning that Zanzibar is huge not just Nungwi!
Asante mwalimu! I actually said maji in the video, I don't know why I changed it in editing. And I said "maa salama" at the end which is Arabic for goodbye/go in peace (it's Zanzibar, after all). Nitaendelea kusoma!
@@SabbaticalTommy haha sawa! I'm going to watch the new video now with my swahili comments haha okay so maa salama! new swahili vocab to me! first time hearing it. Asante pia!
He did not insulted you in Kimakunduchi (local language mainly spoken in Makunduchi). He just tell his friend "keep playing buddy , you also counted mine before, now you see???!!!!"
@@SabbaticalTommy Actually that was one of Swahili dialect spoken in Unguja Southerneastern ( Hadimu dialect); Just like the KIUNGUJA MJINI dialect you are using to communicate .
Hey man, I just found your channel on Reddit yesterday and literally as I finished catching up on all your videos, you uploaded this one! You're definitely gonna blow up soon, dude! Keep up the good work
Thank you for posting these vids about your travels. I always wanted to see more local culter and so on in other countrys. But sinds i cant travel myself i do enjoy postings like these. Take care and plz keep them comming. With warm greetings from Belgium.
OMG B&B style!!!! I appreciate your simple low key style so much more! I have watched all his videos. I love the travel but his personality is to be desired.
Thank you Tommy. I enjoyed every minute. You might consider Portland, Oregon or San Francisco to make a video. Although they are much more dangerous compared to sub Saharan Africa.
3:42 no he didn't insult you. he was speaking swahili but it sound differently, he was telling his opponent about their playing and not to cheat generally.
@@masupildula Kwanini usijifunze Kiswahili ikajua kuna lahaja ngapi kwanza? . Sio kipemba ni kiswahili hicho ila tu si mwenyeji wa Zanzibar wala hilo eneo ndio maana huelewi au! Ni Lahaja ya kihadimu kama wewe unavyoongea KIUNGUJA MJINI!
Tommy that was 'GOOD fun ' as we say in Hawaii ! Aloha from Maui. I had some moments in West Africa where u just had to walk by faith. Even in Thailand on rides, where I had no idea where I was... but some how gonna get home safe. Leah Tunkara
I love watching this video or rural area zanziba. ..you are right not many tourists or youtubers film this areas. But it was interesting to watch your journey.
Interesting to watch that area near the sea st the end of the video. If the govt tidy up these areas and beaches it will attract more tourists. Thanks for this video is important to see how other people living in rural zanzibar and areas and old buildings need to renovate, areas to keep clean including roads to be in good condition.
Whenever i save enough money I always travel internationally and I go places tourists never see, The people are the friendliest and also the poorest but its the best way to see a country by far.
Okay, dude, I've watched 3 videos of yours not fully was in the flow yet but you've got you're languages quite spread out man haha Jezus, Swahili, okay, English, okay, Russian? hmmmkay, but Chinese was the last one I expected haha damn, nice. I'm envious of you being able to chat around with so many parts of the world. Keep up! I like it! Greetings, from the Netherlands! :)
Tommy, I am presently surprised that you speak Mandarin in additional to the local African languages. 👍👍👍 Where did you learn your Mandarin ? This reminds me of your fellow youtuber, Siawma, from New York who also speaks multiple languages. Tommy, congratulations. You are amazing ! Blessings from Malaysia.
Brings back memories of 2011. Great channel- how in the world did you learn so many languages? My mum learnt other languages by just socializing with other ethnic groups over time but I'm curious how you did it.
AWESOME😂😂😂😂👍👍👍the whole village came out to greet you😍😍😍😍😍they love you💖💖💖💖EVERY WHERE😂😂😂😂 Nice ride and great pick on the Beautiful Chinese girl , she has great personality and will GREATLY add your popularity among Asian viewers to subscribe your channel. Nice tour and PRICELESS by Hamidi , RARE places and only few tourist got to view the beach lagoon .You must be the Lucky one.. You have God given talents to make strangers SMILE around you , am learning to be like that, it LIGHTENED the HEART 💌💖💖💕 😂😂😂😂😂👍👍👍👍 Looking forward to MORE RARE PLACES where tourists dont go in DAR Maybe MKURANGA Pwani😁 ?
Tommy , apart from the talents you have to have some kind of photographic memory to be able to remember all of the languages you are able to speak ! Not getting words mixed up is a gift on its own ... A nice job with the U N beckons !
How much money should one save up, to follow the same journey you took in Africa? I've dreamed about taking a trip there, tbh just for the wildlife. However, you've opened up an entire new journey I would enjoy to follow myself inside that beautiful continent. Thanks for sharing all that you do!
Great video, as always! I am starting way back on you journey, to see what you have been up to. Thanks, brother. Also, you might be the first American who I see (rightly) distinguishing between socialism and communism.
I love to watch everyone’s face when he replies in the native language of what ever tge language that person speaks, look at the faces lije WHAT!!!!! It’s a special skill
When you asked a child if she was going school or not she said yes but when you asked her 'Lini'you have confused her because' Lini 'means when but it's for future if you want to ask her about the present or time you should ask' saa ngapi' or 'wakati gani?' like saa ngapi unaenda shule/school? Or Wakati gani utaenda/unaenda shule/ skuli? And not Lini unaenda school? You could have used Lini if let's say the Child was on holiday and you want to know when they will be back to school or maybe if they were off sick.

Mavi meaning plse
@Abdulkadir Kassim Mavi = 💩
How did u learn your languages
@@HYPYmum2010 A lot of studying and drinking, to simplify my answer quite a bit
@@SabbaticalTommy how is Zanzibar good or boring
DUDE!! I’m watching an American in Zanzibar teach a Chinese person Swahili…. In Mandarin! Why do we have wars again??
Because our leaders are selfish and do nothing but try to divide us based on religion, race, ethnicity, social status, sexuality, etc.
The people of the world have a lot more in common than our leaders do.
Career politicians
Because the devil is at the head of most of these nations.
🤣🤣
The Chinese don't like integrating that's why they intentionally don't bother learning Swahili
You can get by in so many languages! Respect!
You are a true linguist….I am amazed at how quickly you learn languages. Really impressed!!!👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

Brings back memories of 2011. Great channel- how in the world did you learn so many languages? My mum learnt other languages by just socializing with other ethnic groups over time but I'm curious how you did it.
He studied dude! It's quite impressive
@@chickennuggetscoon6900 Man, learning different languages when you are older is difficult. My hat 🤠 off to him, yeah it's very impressive, indeed.

Tommy , apart from the talents you have to have some kind of photographic memory to be able to remember all of the languages you are able to speak ! Not getting words mixed up is a gift on its own ... A nice job with the U N beckons !
How much money should one save up, to follow the same journey you took in Africa? I've dreamed about taking a trip there, tbh just for the wildlife. However, you've opened up an entire new journey I would enjoy to follow myself inside that beautiful continent. Thanks for sharing all that you do!
How many languages do you speak
Great video, as always! I am starting way back on you journey, to see what you have been up to. Thanks, brother.
Also, you might be the first American who I see (rightly) distinguishing between socialism and communism.
I love to watch everyone’s face when he replies in the native language of what ever tge language that person speaks, look at the faces lije WHAT!!!!! It’s a special skill
4:39 mans wearing a staten island shirt, wow 🤣
When you asked a child if she was going school or not she said yes but when you asked her 'Lini'you have confused her because' Lini 'means when but it's for future if you want to ask her about the present or time you should ask' saa ngapi' or 'wakati gani?' like saa ngapi unaenda shule/school? Or Wakati gani utaenda/unaenda shule/ skuli? And not Lini unaenda school? You could have used Lini if let's say the Child was on holiday and you want to know when they will be back to school or maybe if they were off sick.
Asante
@@SabbaticalTommy karibu 👌
Very intersting=inafurahisha sana 10:20
Thanks, was looking for that word
13:00 i think that goat was asking for your help! 😂
Tommy is really a genius language wise.
The Islamic hat is called "kibagarashia" in Swahili
I knew there had to be a name! Asante
The correct word is “balaghashia”
I have been saying it wrong all these years as kibarakashee haha thanks for also teaching me
Sabatical but i think that's a Swahili vocabulary that you don't necessarily have to know, but you should know it 😂
Your a vary brave trusting man.
Why would you give a cow milk that got me laughing so hard...
Hahaha yea that baffled me too..give a cow milk?? Hahaha...perhaps he meant "maji" (water)??
