I Bought Drinks For An Entire Village in Rwanda (#77)

- It was time get out of the big city and explore Rwanda. I was told that no matter where you go in Rwanda, it's safe, so naturally I decided to go to a town deep in the hills that no one had ever heard of. I was hoping to find a local moonshine called Urwagwa, or Gwagwa, but it would be a challenge. I would need to charm my way into the heart of the village.

Many videos to come this week. Prepare yourselves. Cancel your workouts and Tinder dates, we've got more important things to do. Like finding that damn Gwagwa moonshine somewhere in Rwanda.
Sweet! I'm almost addicted to your videos....more than 2 days go by and I'm fiendish for your shenanigans.
Those locals had great time indeed😂😂😂😂😂Tommy people may have U Rwagwa there but they fear to give you some information because a stranger can be spy or the government using strangers to know what is going on in that area.
Tommy, cuánto dinero gastaste en cervezas? jajaja
Hahahaha berry funny all the way from Zimbabwe...🇿🇼🇿🇼🇿🇼
😅😂🤣Such joyful laughter from the people upon hearing Sabbatical’s request to locate “Gwagwa”🤣😂😅
I love how everyone starts laughing when he asks where he get some gwagwa 😂
He needs some milk 🥛
with that price of beer, you can literally control that village and make an army. Ration of 2 beers a day and income of 4 usd in a month would probably be enough to bribe someone.
l0l
From watching the dirty street of philadephia to watching the clean village street in Africa..
Yeah that video was sad. I hope it goes viral. More africans need to see that side of the western world
Philadelphia is a big city and obviously waste management must be a problem unless you replace those Americans with Chinese 🤣🤣🤣
That woman who grabbed a beer at 16:14 deserve to play a lead role in a spy movie, look at how she took it and the way she hid the beer!
Hahahah i saw that
Facts
SLICK!
I didn’t notice that until now. Second time watching too
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Tommy is going to be a legend in that village
Nice cat
They will never forget him
He probably would have been a "victim" instead of a "legend", had he NOT bought them drinks. Have you ever noticed what happens when he says "no", in these types of places?
@@anonymousher0 Not In Rwanda,we call foreigners "Amadevize"=foreign currency we know how valuable our visitors are💚💛💙
FUCK NO!
When you said “buy everybody!” and they all ran off to the liquor store with your money I couldn’t stop laughing
Right then the whole village came out because he said everybody! 😁😁😁 Then he act like they did something wrong 🙄 LOL! One Love/Shalom!
Tommy always has so much fun because he can speak the languages...I'm sure hardly anyone there has met a white man who speaks Swahili let alone the local dialects!
Actually there are many whites who were born and raised in Africa and speak local languages
@@berthekabwe871 not a lot
@@hk254lyt8 maybe not in Rwanda but in Southern African there are many
@@berthekabwe871 exactly. This guy was talking about that village specifically
I had a white neighbor in Johannesburg who could speak a bunch of african language. It's a gift.
That Chinese cemetery is not in middle of nowhere, it is a cemetery built by them in commemoration of the Chinese who lost their lives while building that road. It is a rocky mountains they had to use dynamites and other explosives to find where they can pass the road. Your ability to adapt is crucial is priceless you are a good human To be Honest. Thank you for passing in our Country! As those citizens told you “Uri umunyarwanda Mwiza!”.
he do make tears in my eyes.
he is the best for , to understand other people, country's. he do the best work, for peace, anti racism. he impact my mindset the most.
he changing my thinking of Africa, black people.
I be so surprised, so deep shocked, how easy and how many languages he can learn and speaking!!!
I like him so very well.
and I got very important information for him. he is a language speaking genius.
a German language genius in Germany, get knowledge of the biggest secret about the languages of the whole world.
he written a book. title in English " world view shocking".
and ,it is really world view shocking. I wish I can contact with him to give him these information.
Worker safety of these Chinese government companies is laughable. You cannot compare their death numbers to any other country.
@Shawn Lau facts don't care about your feelings. Now go back in your hole wu mao. 🤣
Africans dont see the ch*nese threat yet. They are unknown about the CCP and stuff. It will be too late when they find out whats been happening.
@@tr0llol677
What do you mean ? What has been happening?
The way ladies went on to laugh when he said gwagwa🤣🤣
🤣🤣21:15"When you see Eminem, tell him he has me as a fan and Lil Wayne too. Yes even Rick Ross" 😂😂🤣
White man I am thirsty I want a beer
That had me dying 😂😂😂
We got some Stan too in Rwanda village and that's so cool.
Thumbs up Tommy! As a Rwandan living abroad, I can say this is the greatest, heartfelt content. Thank you for good work, enthusiasm and simplicity. Keep enjoying the country of 1000 hills
BRO THERES HILLS EVERYWHERE NAWWW
Rulindo Chinese Martyrs' Cemetery: the reason there's a chinese cemetery in Rwanda is that they needed a place to bury 10 chinese aid workers who died in Rwanda between 1982 and 1997. Most of those worked on road construction projects.
Only ten? And relatives of one of those ten just happened to be there to visit on that day?
@@thatstheguy07 there is still a small chinese community in Rwanda, but the cemetry was started to bury 10 workers.
The priest ain't being left behind 😂😂😂
poor priest, he looked like the most raging alcoholic of the bunch.😂😂😂
@@4eyefoxbodyfanclub625 🤣🤣
You just know he's the one that turns up on a bender with no redys I'll get the next one lol 😂
Do priest in west drink alcohol?
@@Aviator7477 yes they do, especially the Catholic priests, must be all that blood of Crist wine they serve the followers every Sunday morning that gives them the urge to drink and become raging drunks.
This type of chaos is why I love Africa
Now I just want to go to a Rwanda village, get everyone wasted and see what happen. Sounds hilarious.
We didn't study, of course we know Gwagwa 😂😂😂
Cracked me up 😂😂🤣
Rwanda is just beautiful. The country is green, clean and pristine. Bravo to the excellent leadership and citizens for making this happens. And for loving their country.
I bet from here you heading to Burundi, probably.

Such a sweet village. So clean and just beautiful. The people are friendly and so happy. I bet in the early morning in the mist it is gorgeous. I love how you always make friends everywhere you go. It’s a special gift. I will say thank you since you only got one.
They dont care being friendly they only wanted alcohol lol

I enjoy living in a world where people like you exist. Thanks a lot!
Hey Tommy,
I really like your style! I think people like you make the world a better place to live in. Thanks 🙏🏽 for taking me to Africa, it means a lot. Your brother, -j
He took you to Africa ?
@@MaheshKumar-ny3np You didn’t see me waving 👋🏼
@@MaheshKumar-ny3np figurative speech
Yea he took me to Argentina couple months ago
Awesome content, Tommy. A few days back I was at the Kongowea market in Mombasa, Kenya and I bumped into Mr. Everybody Knows Me and I couldn't stop myself from laughing. My folks wouldn't get the inside joke. Haha.
I spent a month in Kenya and there was trash, wrappers, plastic and rubbish everywhere. The change in such a relatively short distance is amazing. In future video can you explain why. Even in the country looks clean and very well cared for. This is becoming my favorite channel
Everything starts with leadership
I’m so worried about you when you’re not posting. I’m praying for your safety as you travel to places where not too many tourist go. But your smile and knowledge of different languages endear you to the locals. I’m enjoying your blogs.
Frfr the worlds a cold place
Yeah, 😑 I am always increasingly Tense about his security, until he posts . .. and he's alright 😅 then I feel silly for expecting the worst out of my own people, and enjoy Tommy making Mother Africa look so good.. and enjoy himself - always expecting and bringing the best out of everyone!!
Alot of African countries are safe to visit, despite the poverty and challenges.
@@wakairu or any other major city in the West
@@eacoincmubiru5894 Well said, total truth.
Rwanda is really *beautiful* 🇷🇼
Bro channel is good!! Keep it up
buddy i have to admit. you got balls for real. i cant imagine you going all the way to the country side by yourself. good on you though, best way to explore. i hope you never run into some bad people with bad intentions my brother. Best of luck.
I grew up in rwanda and I like to see video like this, people traveling to explore other countries. I love it, and urwagwa is the best drink in my opinion
This is the best of TH-cam on so many levels. Canada
I want Tommy to know this soo
Tanks for showing a good image of africa other than hunger , poverty and war .
Alcoholism?
@@Just.A.T-Rex how about polish , finnish and russians ? When its come to Alcoholism they are master .
I watched these all day, painting in my studio. You travel a lot like the way I did, long before you could upload them to share with the world. Thank you. What you're doing is important and hopefully more people will get their pink butts off the armed resort beaches and explore the incredible world out there. This is amazing to see
Thanks again for allowing us along on your journeys, man! Kudos and all the best from Canada
I enjoyed watching your visit to East Africa esp. when you were in my home country Kenya
Love from India 🇮🇳
Ndabikunze jye ndi umunyarwanda
Wow! A lot of the paved roads look better than ours in Canada 😯😄
Very interesting when two different worlds come together. It's beautiful.
When the priest presents himself to say I want a beer hahaha
Since I found this channel I have been traveling and exploring Africa....with love From Kilimanjaro Tanzania🇹🇿
I really enjoy your video documentaries of Africa. This is REAL
By real you mean
But he only shows the world dilapidated places that are undergoing transformations, typical White folks. But he won't show this Rwanda: th-cam.com/video/gIU2RvyUH_8/w-d-xo.html
Great watching you go to the small villages....watching from London 🇬🇧 ❤
Sabbatical...... you have so much energy. Interactional skills, you have.
I like how they say 600 magana matandatu same as in Kikuyu language in Kenya
Tommy you must be some kind of humanoid robot, how do you learn language so fast, you're an inspiration to me, keep being amazing
This man is a true traveler.
youre the coolest dude buying beer for the people like that, showing love. thats whats up
Awesome. Their language is Bantu, as a kenyan bantu. I can understand more of what they say. Is only that the accent is also different
it's amazing that Rwandese even in the villages behave with decorum
TOMMY my amazing friend, following from Kenya the unfolding of the cool Rwandan village where Church man is humbly requesting for a beer. Your contents are heavy weights brother. MUCH LOVE FROM KENYA, SIAYA COUNTY -KOGELO VILLAGE THE OBAMA'S PLACE.
Actually he didn't mean a Priest. He meant his young brother (Petit Frere).
@@emmanuelmupenzi9167 it means priest.. Padiri = priest
A priest or a highway engineer?
Very impressive to fit right in with such a language and cultural barrier❗️
Those guys seemed to have a great time and enjoying their beer! It's good to learn in the comments here that they actually did thank for the beer by saying Good bless you in their language, which is a more common way of showing gratitude than saying thank you.
aye. loving your content man. greetings from an indian youtuber who is exploring tanzania currently ☺️
Is it true ?
@@MaheshKumar-ny3np obviously it is true. lol
@@Living4Dream I wish I See your videos ...Hope it's a good travel vlogs too
This guy makes me wish I would have studied languages more when I was younger
I found this video to turn out very well. The combination of your personality and your language knowledge is priceless. So interesting. I know how this feels myself, getting out of the comfort zone. Sometimes not so pleasant at first, but the reward is unbeatable. Great Tommy!
This country is so clean,I wish other African countries could emulate Rwanda's order and law abiding citizenry.Rwanda is definitely on my visiting list,I love you rwanda
We love you too Kenyan man.

Just to say hi 😎🤏😂😂😂
What cool people... Beer is universal for social interaction!!!
Indeed
Brother u are so genius the way you speak many languages i like that keep shine and show whole world that Africa have good people ❤
Cheers mate. keep going just as am binge watching....
Woohoo!! Another video from tommy! I’m excited to see your time here! Gonna watch now 🙏 cheers 🥂
There are some towns that are still under lockdown. The bars are supposed to be closed and maybe that is why they could not get you urwagwa!
This country is so organized, will definitely visit one day
Fun video! Thanks for sharing.
You’re gifted speaking all those languages
Aweee,this was nice very happy people 🤗, Btw your kiyarwanda is good 👍
It's too bad you didn't get to join and show off your Kinyarwanda skills
A wonderful video. Something about drinking beer with the fellas. Until someone gets too drunk. Keep sharing!
I just found your channel & starting binge watching! Love it! ..Ive seen you in Tanzania, Uganda, Kenya, Rwanda, Ghana & Mexico so far & u r very kind & do so much to help others. I respect that. But one thing I noticed In all these places besides Mexico, is they ask for things, don't say please or thank u & then ask for another thing! So I like that u straight up said, "your the 1st one to say thank you"..I get they don't have much. But for ppl that don't have much u think they would show more gratitude & at least say thank u before asking u for the next thing. .Anyway glad I found ya & safe travels.
That's great! Looks like your doing good and having a good time.
Awesome videos... Awesome people... Wish I was there
I enjoy going to Rwanda, I prefer staying in Kigali at a location called Kibagabaga, In Rwanda they have a drink where it is written Enzoga ya bagabo (a drink for men) this is my favourite.
I love how your travel outside the bounds of schedules and routines in a casual fashion, that is how I do it and desire, it makes things interesting.
Wow, you so good at getting along with the locals 👏 great work
Peace and good fortune to you on your journey/travels, from Arkansas and California.
Some of the best travel video out there. Such an interesting perspective on Africa .
Clicked in a heartbeat
7:38 I like there reaction 😂😂😂😂😂
Beautiful country enjoying watching this video. Countryside is so green and natural.
I watched a lot of your videos and this is one of my favorites.
Love videos like this hope you can keep doing more you probably really made there day/week
Tommy just shows people are real all over the world...be kind and all will be good. Love your channel!
Those women burst out laughing when you asked for booze... like they totally didn't see it coming.
That was really entertaining video. Awesome content man.
Awesome stuff dude!
wow! Definitely the friendliest people in East Africa
You're officially African now. No need for a body guard anymore 😁 Handled that drinking session like a pro!
So glad I just discovered this channel! Thank you YT!
24:00-25:00 reminds me of everybody nose me fella
🤣. (Highway engineer)
I came across this channel because I was a fan of laoshu, and I quickly had to subscribe to you since you're carrying the same spirit and showcasing great travel to boot. While you're in Rwanda, be sure to try the milk there, specifically ikivuguto which is a slightly sour fermented milk which tastes like kefir and is delicious. They have milk bars there, or you can go to a village and see if you can get it fresh.
Thst sour milk is good eaten with ugali
Laoshu ? the Language man?
@@tejerojoshua2344 yup
When you're on the right path, everything goes smoothly.
Nice been waiting for long
16:16 That lady just sneaked in, grabbed a bottle and sneaked away 🤣
🤣
Mane it’s like her life depended on it
This place is specifically known as ‘Rulindo Chinese Martyrs’ Cemetery’. This cemetery was built in 1982. From 1982 to 1997, a total of 10 Chinese who passed on working in aid projects in Rwanda were buried there. Each year, Chinese diplomats, aid workers, teachers, volunteers and other members of Chinese community travel to Rulindo district in the Northern Province, about 50.9 km from Kigali city, to pay tribute to 10 Chinese, some of whom sacrificed their lives.
Dude! I love how You just shred the cultural barriers with many locals wherever you go. Thanks so much for sharing your travels and always taking one for "Team Humanity" . Also the surprised laughs of those women when you asked that guy for the liquor was priceless :)
The guy doesn't know.i think rugwagwa is illegal.
@@salimrandu7762 in a lot of countries because it's crude! In Kenya, so many instances of people turning blind or dead after drinking the local water ... moonshine. Even in Uganda it's lethal! Guess due to the stricker controls in Rwanda, folks are scared of revealing it's whereabouts to compete strangers, especially a mzungu with a camera - they know that they will end up on bbc, cnn, aljazela etc
Nice one Tommy. Respect ✊🏻
I'm really not one to comment but I gotta state my appreciation for you. Found out your channel only about 3 months ago but have been following every video since. I must say, at first I thought you were kinda on the mellow side, not so over-the-top personality we usually see in youtubers and I asked myself if you could held me interested and... here I am, how many videos later? I even went back and watched since your first videos up in Mexico.
I really feel that I don't need to say this to you but keep up being who you are, in terms of being an open-minded, open-hearted, non judgmental person... A person who freaking CARES. That is just such an alien concept these days, it seems.
I speak 3 languages and 2 others I know a little bit but after watching you randomly getting into your Chinese friend's car (in Zanzibar, I think?) and proceeding to talk in Mandarin with her I just told myself "what the heck" and I went out and enrolled myself into some Chinese classes. I've even been in China but never had any interested in learning it, so all my friends where like "why the hell?"... I just told them I saw a random youtuber who inspired me! hehehe
I know it seems far-fetched but if you're ever, ever, in Brazil (I live in São Paulo) and are open to be taken around and explore the country I'd love to tag along, even though you seem like a lone ranger kinda guy. (added you on Instagram)
Keep doing what you're doing. I'm going out on a limb here but If you ever felt like you lost the direction of your life be sure, absolutely sure of yourself that you're doing something unique only you can do! Out of almost 8 billion people in our humble world you are standing out and are inspiring and educating so many people for something truly worthy. That's what an "influencer" should be about. Cheers and thank you!
