In a remote town in the backlands of Tanzania and being white. Those are towns in which they hardly see someone who's not already know living there or a parent....notice how the small kids stare at him, they are too young to have already seen a white dude in person.
This is so great. A Swahili speaking (sort of) white guy takes a bus ride into a town in Tanzania searching for banana drink. He tries learning some phrases in Chagga. A local woman invites him to her restaurant where he has pork and fries and is set up with two of the restaurant's owners lovely daughters who have a few children. A local dentists advises him the banana beer isn't great in this town so the two lovely women and the white guy set off to find some in another town. I really enjoyed this!
@@jumpnsathis Every Country, every town, every small restaurant has a mama trying to marry off her daughters! 😂 Every Mother, in every country, has the same plan to help find her daughters a good husband! ;) This white guy has to be careful with his alcoholic banana drink 🍹, as too many will encourage him on to accepting many beautiful wives! ;)

How do you make alcohol drink from bananas. Here in south Europe we make strong alcohol drink from fruit plums or pears with process of destilation. Its probably the same thing. You collect fruit in containers and wait for two to three weeks for fermentation process to be over. After that you cook or boil the stuff in closed stove which is made just for destillation. First few decilitres you must throw because it contain poison methanol which evaporate first. Then come good ethanol. We usually get around 12-13 litres of 40% alc drink for 100 litres of fermented material from fruit. It is tradition here but this hobby is dying because state regulations and laws. Personaly i did not make rakija just have been brewing home made beer. But it is time consuming and you must have regulated temperatures of fermentation and be very clean enviroment for beerbrewing.
I lived/worked in various African countries for many years, including Tanzania, and the genuine warmth and generosity of the people is something I will never forget.

I have been to Africa a number of times....Was in Somalia for "Restore Hope" in the 90's and Nairobi Kenya in the early 80's as well as Djibouti...what the news doesnt really show is just how beautiful Africa is, and also how welcoming the people are....Was a bad experience in Somalia because of all the strife that was taking place, but most of the people were just normal, good people looking for what we all look for...stability and happiness. As a white boy from south Texas, it certainly opened my eyes about the world.

"They're good at business." Well, yeah, the woman who owns the restaurant basically told him, " you're eating here and you're paying for it." Excellent business model.
On a one night layover in Los Angeles from Hawaii to my Midwestern, home state, I met a . beautiful girl, with a beautiful name, from Moshi, Tanzania, who was residing in Santa Monica while attending college in the area.. We talked, laughed and shared our innermost feelings all night long. By the early morning time of my scheduled departure, i had fallen deeply in love with her. Although the ensuing long distance romance eventually took it's painful toll, I never stopped loving her. We remained friends and stayed in touch and we were even able to visit one another a few wonderful times. Then, there came a day when communication and replies from her ceased completely. Without knowing anyone to contact, and because once she had conveyed thoughts of returning to her hometown of Moshi to live, I can only speculate that she may have done so. I think about her all the time. That beautiful little African girl that stole my heart and soul 40+ years ago and my greatest wish is to know that she, Apasaa Swai, is alive, happy and doing well.

I am married to a Haitian, 31 years now. I have to Haiti several times. It blows me away that even in the poorest of countries, women can ALWAYS find money to have sophisticated hair styles.
If they have sisters or close friends they do it to each other for free. But in the western world it is expensive. Congrats on your happy marriage by the way! African or Caribbean wives are the best wives in the world.
They seem like nice friendly and gentle people there in Tanzania. People often forget how huge Africa is and how different the people and cultures can be, even within national regions. Interesting video, as Africa is the only part major of the world I haven't explored yet.
@@jamalive Yeah, Dar. What do you expect? It's a big city. If you know how to mind your own business, you'll generally be alright.

What a journey, I'll tell you what. Those two ladies would take good care of you, she made sure to take you all the way to the safe drink, and made sure you didn't get to much. Nothing like making new friends over a local drink.
Bro, you went on a whole adventure. That was amazing. If I wake up tomorrow and say "I want peanut butter whisky" I set the GPS, I drive there, get it, and go home, 40 minutes tops. No wonder life feels so mundane. You're living your best life, and I love you for it.

That caught me, too. So sweet and sincere. I bet anything, if a guy really did have those two as wives, he could be happier than any man living in a million dollar house somewhere. So many people have shot for the wrong targets in life. We just need simplicity and love.
Your warm words of welcome made me smile here in America Mr Mchumo. I wish you and all the beautiful people of Tanzania long life,happiness,and prosperity.
Genuinely friendly people what a refreshing statement… and the ladies were beautiful inside out. We were drawn into a place with helpful people and happy people and that was beautiful.

Exactly! I’m inspired and building my own soon. Polyglot or multilingual is essential to thriving. But I’ll be focusing on how we all mutually benefit from cultural sharing

On a one night layover in Los Angeles from Hawaii to my Midwestern, home state, I met a . beautiful girl, with a beautiful name, from Moshi, Tanzania, who was residing in Santa Monica while attending college in the area.. We talked, laughed and shared our innermost feelings all night long. By the early morning time of my scheduled departure, i had fallen deeply in love with her. Although the ensuing long distance romance eventually took it's painful toll, I never stopped loving her. We remained friends and stayed in touch and we were even able to visit one another a few wonderful times.
Then, there came a day when communication and replies from her ceased completely. Without knowing anyone to contact, and because once she had conveyed thoughts of returning to her hometown of Moshi to live, I can only speculate that she may have done so. I think about her all the time. That beautiful little African girl that stole my heart and soul 40+ years ago and my greatest wish is to know that she, Apasaa Swai, is alive, happy and doing well.
Awwww
She stopped thinking about you a long time ago...move on. This is a pathetic story💥 what a Simp!
