East African Neighborhood Walk #1
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 27 ก.ค. 2022
- What does our East African neighborhood look like? See the style of houses. What's the vibe? How does it "feel" - is it peaceful or loud and rambunctious? What type of architecture does the neighborhood sport? We took a short leisurely stroll. Stay tuned to the end to learn ballpark pricing and utility costs! Giving the Diaspora a peek - for the culture, for the nation, for Yah.

I can see myself walking in that community as a way to workout in the mornings. Land of a thousand hills, indeed. So peaceful, clean and modern. I want to board my flight to Kigali today! Thanks for sharing, Mark and family.
Hey 👋🏽, “peaceful” is the word. You will. Thanks for commenting.
You could do the same in rural Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi or South Carolina.
Thanks for sharing your experience...beautiful houses. I enjoyed seeing the neighborhood. There are so many beautiful countries in Africa and I can't wait to stay visiting.
Totally agree…we hope to show others as well.
Very nice!
I love our walks in the community 🇷🇼
IKR, especially, since we have small parks & lots of open space‼️
What a beautiful peaceful community you live in , I really like the artwork of each home 🏠
The 🌴 trees and flowers are so beautiful, it looks like a safe place to live .

Hi 👋🏽 “The Stamps”, we visited your channel, you guys are amazing 🤩. Oops, will go back and subscribe. Thank you for commenting for us; thank you for showing us “how it’s done ✅”; thanks for being Midwest Homies (I’m originally from Illinois); thank you for bearing witness to The Most High God!
Beautiful neighborhood
Check out our Zanzibar Sunset video and wait for our next neighborhood walk from Zanzibar (new housing development).
sweet good looking couple. glad to have found your channel. enjoying these videos. i wanted to come to rwanda and tanzania to visit some day.
Wishing you joy! Congratulations
Beautiful
Just awesome. I lived in several African countries serving as a missionary. All that you share is very appropriate. Yes, if someone decides to live in Africa they need to take your suggestions as words from the Wise.
Thank you. Your walk brought me to tears. I am retired Postal Service. Working on degree in Psychology. Rwanda looks promising.🤗
I thank you so much for his video. It answered a lot of questions I have about living in Rwanda. The community looks beautiful. How well do you get along with your neighbors? Everyone is all fenced off from each other.
Overall, I find Rwandan folks to be nice people.
You should listen to the young adults videos, they have a valuable perspective.
@@awakenwithmark Thank you.
Looks like a clean, very nice neighborhood
You taste and feel the life.
Great looking area- neighborhood.. very well done.. some of the walls/gates appear to have an Asian influence
Yes, agreed. We have a second short walk coming out soon, (including quick view of items in small grocery store).
Or arguably, Asia has an African influence.
If you guys have kids, They Are Jealous, HAHAHA, This is beautiful wow, great life style. Now I am jealous, Hahaha, Peace.
Rwanda are very beautiful!
Thank you for sharing your walk in the neighborhood. I'm guessing 3-4 bed rooms. 100,000.
Gated Community...Great
Great video, how are the winter's ???
Two of rainy seasons, temp may drop around 60’s/15 or so. Climate is often referred to as perfect year round.
I heard there are some places that you have your house built, but you don't own the land. When you guys made a right turn down that street. All you needed was ocean view. Then it would have looked like Venice Beach or Manhattan Beach or seal beach.
Aluminum fences are used temporarily during home construction
looks like a nice walk not a lot of commercial activity , could be a really quite area.
We went the other direction in another video, passing a few shops on the way to grocery store.
It was nice. BTW: We moved to Zanzibar and just posted a neighborhood walk in the new development.
I bet your sons are both excited and proud seeing these podcasts. Didn't say how much 3 bedroom. Seems more like separate gated community. Security a must!
Yes, they are…older folks can learn and do things. Ballpark $1,200-$1,800 mo.
@@awakenwithmark Thanks.Dental and Medical experience?
@@shakkay.3899 I should write more down so I depend less on remembering…I paid about $300, give or take, for 4 of us to get general check up and labs 🧪 (total) Kaiser cost me that much with insurance for just me.
Unapologetic Nomads had a Rwanda vid visiting the dentist for their daughter, inexpensive. Please visit their site & peruse.
@@awakenwithmark Thanks again will say this and reference it and your channel.
I’m so glad black merikkkan are moving back to Africa , those who believe they came from there. Not everybody will make the transition. Welcome bro. It beautiful out there
Nice and clean❤ Which country are you showing us?
That vid was Rwanda
Beautiful Gates and beautiful homes but it lacks a lot of great shopping that I would be looking for from targets, to walmart's, whole foods, krogers, costco's, Sam's club, Meyers,. So something to think about being able to buy Dove soap baking soda comet Ajax Dawn dish liquid Tide soap powder game soap powder it's a lot I don't think I'd be willing to give up. You'd have to have somebody there where you can ship all your goodies a toaster oven pure cast iron to cook with walnut oil hazelnut oil macadamia nut oil. Crock pots.🥴🤷🏼♀️👩🏻🦼👩🏻🦯🍷😯📽️📺💯♥️💚🖤💛
Sounds more like SA. Africans share about this in this video.

Interesting to watch how you all adjust...but not for me. Love the videos though!
I liked when you facing the building
Enjoyed your video, I just discovered your channel. I love the information that you share.
Thanks for sharing. Enjoyed the video. What kind of crime do they have? Why do they have to have night patrols?
You’ll have to Google crime stats. I guess to maintain safety. You might want to find a US city to compare Kigali with, like Houston. All the communities that I have lived in in the US had neighborhood/community patrols.

Just curious, do any children kids live in the neighborhood?, didn't notice any out playing!
just curious if these homes and i assume more will be built encroach on or how they effect wild life
Hi, were those numbers you quoted in US dollars?
In Africa if you have money you can afford to live in such nice neighborhood were the wealthy and upper middle class live.
Hello my good people. Where in East Africa is this, it does not state on your title or introduction of video.
Rwanda
@awakenwithmark, what part of east Africa do you live?
You mentioned wildlife in the above video, what kind of wildlife?...Lions, pythons?!
Also, some African American expats to Ghana in west Africa, mainly, have express concerns about how Ghanians have been treatring them by overcharging thems for things, and more recently, police bribing some of those expats. Are there similar issues to that extreme where you are??...Many African Americans have left Ghana, in particular, because of that fact.
I'm all for the people. But, I don't want to go from worse to worser either
What to you do about medical care? Did you purchase insurance in the States or where you're currently living? What happens if you get sick? 🤔
I've never heard anyone speak on this topic. Hope you see my comment.
Hello Stephanie, thanks for your question. Actually, we have over 100 vids please scroll through them for topics. Here are the specific ones that you asked about. We interviewed a doctor - th-cam.com/video/N2KrQkyIwks/w-d-xo.html and We interviewed med insurance providers - th-cam.com/video/JbX2PuRZpJY/w-d-xo.html. We did purchase both insurances listed in these vids. Also, GoBlack2Africa interviewed a doctor 2 years ago - search his channel.
Can you buy a home or you must rent?
I wish I can see the building the building instead you face.
Where do you receive packages? Can we send you something?
Greetings! What country?
Rwanda
@@awakenwithmark It's beautiful there!
wait your in rwanda !!! great my wife and I want to move there we just got married i retired she hasnt yet. we w ant to save money but damn living here is eating up everything we try to save smh.
Seems very nice; however, do the locals accept you as Americans?
What country in Africa is this?
Rwanda
You live in upscale neighborhood,
Are you taking $1400 us dollars or rawanda currency's
Too much filming of your t shirt with word " ARTIST " otherwise good video.
What country in Africa are you in?
We were in Rwanda 🇷🇼. We now live in Zanzibar.
You have to padlock your doors?
The doors are locked.
Just like in the USA
They have money their good ok
Do they have qualified candidates to run the country after Kigame steps down? Because Kigame did great job. Although, others have their opinions.
also , are most of your neighbors afican?
Rwanda, they allow you to take video in public places
I almost for arrested in Uganda , our driver was a young guy . He wanted to play with my camera and took pics of us outside of a bank .. eek , has guns drawn on us .
I hope your not isolating yourself from the community, get to know them
It cost the same to live comfortably anywhere in the world. My monthly expenses is about $2500 in the DMV. $500 of that is food. Not sure I would leave the 1st world where I live off $2500 to live off $2200 in the 3rd world among people not of my own. You could have retired in rural Mississippi in majority Black county on many acres for $2200 a month. Think of helping your own people rather than the Rwandan economy.
It's a individual preference where someone lives. If you are of any shade or color 95 percent chance you are from Africa, your true place of origin. Our ancestors were kidnapped, raped whipped and brought here to built an economy that gave us no rights. Not even a mule and 40 acres after the Civil War. I have lived in Mississippi my son was born there, unbelievable racism we had to call the cops three times due to racial slurs and dirt thrown at our door. Then my vehicle was pulled over and I was harassed by a police because I was driving a new vehicle. Cops stood on the side of my car talking and laughing while my child was in hot vehicle . I CALLED my husband, being a military officer he contacted jag. This was a serious matter which lead to police force eventually firing the police officers. I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND MISSISSIPPI. I HAD SEEN MORE ELDERLY BLACK WOMAN IN THEIR 70'S SAYING YES MADAAM TO 16 YEAR OLD CAUSIANS THEN I HAVE EVER SEEN IN MY LIFE. I HAVE BEEN TO WEST and East Africa, but not all 54 countries. Each country have their own issues but never have I experienced the hatred due to my color as here in America.
@@lovelineoutreachministries1914 correction. Your so called ancestors were sold by African tribes not kidnapped. You really think tribalism is different than racism? Fleeing to a foreign country in Africa where you will be called a foreigner won't change anything on Mississippi. We are fighters, we don't run from the fight like Africans. We face it head on. White folk in East Africa in particular get better treatment from Africans than in Mississippi. You will get pulled over by police in West Africa and held in immigration for hours until you pay a bribe. You will get harass for being African American. You call Africa your ancestral homeland but not 1 country has given you any rights nor paid reparations for capturing and selling your ancestors to White traders.
@@lovelineoutreachministries1914 i have lived in Mississippi for 20+ years and I have never experienced any such issues you've described. I really hate what you've experienced, but PLEASE ADD that your situation was totally an isolated incident. I believe in the law of attraction; in many instances we attract what we expect.
Ain't nobody moving to no Backwoods Mississippi with them bloodthirsty racists out there!
@@mobrownblues9442 Mississippi has the highest percentage of Blacks among states. Damn near 50%. If you are nearly 50% of the population why are you worried about racist Whites?
