![10 Facts About Maputo & Mozambique! [Updated Video]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/B764Tffffsk/mqdefault.jpg)
Good lesson to always ask the price for everything first, especially being in a new country.
good advice: Also my advice is: Don't accept an offer from someone approaching you
As an avid traveler that doesn't always work. I suggest when in doubt ask to pay first.
When people like them come up to you and greet you like that, then there must be strings attached. Don't go with them. At first when I was watching, I thought it was a scam. In third world countries, this type of fraud is very common. Be careful now. You are doing a great job.
They had "scammer" written all over their faces
😅😅😅😂😂 4 sure
Even that $33 just for cooking is way too high. Sounds like a scam bro. Don't think we do that in Zambia. If we do, cooking must be less than $10.
Thx for visiting my country, Moz, Sly! I'm sorry u encountered those scammers in my country. I'm embarrassed!. 😲😤😭
Maputo Fish Market is very expensive place to eat. Food is fresh and delicious, but completely overpriced for the local economy. Same thing happened to me when I went there to eat.
When the guy grab you all I saw was a scammer. I would have walked around and checked out the other vendors. Live and learn
Never go with the first person you see. Definitely a scam
That's messed up they did that even after extending kindness by inviting others to eat with you. That alone is not a good look. Live and learn I guess.
Great idea to call for help, well done Sly. What scumbags those people are, sitting there next to you knowing that they are going to rip you off. Safe travels.
Dang I’m glad you got the prices straightened out! The guys you were dining with seemed friendly!!
They where smiling way too hard
$90 ??? wow you wouldn't even pay that much in the US for a meal like that.
love the video as usual! thanks for uploading
Great video! It comes with the territory for sure.
Thanks for sharing
Thank you, sir
You are brave man. Excellent lesson. Thanks a lot.
I followed this video and I say that I am deeply saddened by this situation.
I have worked in the fish market since 2010 and I always say that I am against price speculation because we have a price list, my sincere apologies for the inconvenience and we are not all like that.
Yep they got ya. Live an Learn
Bro, I’m watching this from Rainer beach south seattle and can’t believe your style of traveling. YOU ARE CRAZY BRO. Enjoy life, it’s short.
Thanks for posting about your experiences, the good and the not-so-good. My son will visit Mozambique mid-March 2024. 🤜🏾🤛🏽I have shared your video with him. Perhaps a deterrent for scammers is to get a close-up of their faces along with their names and announce up front that they may be featured on yr TH-cam channel. Stay adventuresome, have fun and be safe out there in those roads! Long live Mother AFRICA!!🙋🏾♀
Once you step outside the US, you always have to haggle the given price, except there's a given fixed price that applies to all buyers. Otherwise, you could pay as much as 50% or more than the locals pay.
Your American accent alone gives you away as a walking 🏧 because you're (Stereotipicaly) rich as an America
I'm sure you've learned the hard way by now because you've been in many different countries. Goodluck brother and keep living the dream.
Good job man
sad that happen too you , they seemed so nice but the food looked good
Yeah bro, saw that coming a mile away, be safe man..the dude in the market made me angry!
Hi bro,that's nice food
At least the food was good.
Sorry they scammed you. Good morning from Seattle Washington
Are u in the military?
Don’t worry, I’m not going there.
A total scam. Mozambique has great seafood but Lol 😂😂😂.
Eveyrwhere you go threre's scam,i can say in mozambique its better
But 99% of the world uses the metric system. Surely you must be used to it by now with all the travel you have done 🤷🤷🤷
They scammed you on both ends, the food and preparation. I never ask a hustler where to get xyz
Mozambique is a beautiful country and safe ,please stop being to negative about this country. You can get across bad people everywhere in the world when you travel around, in the world there good and bad people including so called rich countries. My brother leaves in USA and have bad bad experiences but we don't just focus in the negative things but positive things... my advice to all is be live life in harmony stop judging so called 3rd world countries jus because of a small thing one individual done, now the all Mozambique is bad!!? Come on guys be smart... Next time you travel just do some research everywhere you go... I'm mozambican and i can happily help doe's coming to visit my country, if needed with the language and show around. Thanks
Moz Ta maluco🤣🤣🤣
Bro
You passed by several boards with the stipulated prices, read it next time. If someone overcharges you, there is a Municipal police station on the market. By the end of it, you ate the freshest seafood at reasonable prices, try eating that in America for 120 bucks
Sad butThat’s just the cost of being a tourist
Sorry the scammed you! 😢😅
I have been living in Mozambique for 16 years. They are good and loved, but unfortunately you fell into the clutches of lions. I am very sorry, but you have learned that you must ask the price of everything before...
Your fault: you didnt ask the price before eating
😅😅😅😅😅😅$90 dollars 😅😅😅😅 more like $20 dollars
Third world :)
You live and you learn bro. Take the L and continue the journey.
Go to my home country of Botswana bro 👊🏿
I'm never investing in this country!
I love my country but there really are a lot of scammers here
brothas all over the world just can't be honest....
Mozambique 🇲🇿 is not an African country that you would want to travel to sorry you got scammed
I definitely disagree with you, Mozambique is one of the best places to visit in the world. As for the price of the food, it may have probably been a little expensive, however, it remains very low compared to the price of seafood in restaurants anywhere in the world. Eating seafood is very expensive anywhere, but Mozambique is not that expensive.
Shangaan is the correct pronunciation. The Mozambiqueans have difficulty in understanding english because they were historically colonized by Portugal 🇵🇹. They are comfortable speaking in Portuguese
Lots of love from South Africa ❤ 🇿🇦
@rajaboabdula9539 that price just for cooking wasn't just a "little" expensive. We must not justify behaviors like that because it makes us look bad. He could have gone to the water front restaurant to eat well with less of the money he spent. That's why you barely see tourists in mercado do peixe. I'm not a tourist and I don't go there.
