"There Are Bad People Here. Very Bad People" 🇦🇷 (

- In the past few decades, one city in Argentina has begun to develop a rather unsavory reputation for criminality. Rosario, which connects the north of Argentina to Buenos Aires through the Parana River, is actually a fairly beautiful city. But as with many places, there are two different sides to it. On the outskirts was a very different city, and on this day I would go to see what was there.

The paco in Argentina is the drug of the poor. The couple in the abandoned house there are drug addicts. Rosario is the city with the worst crime rates in the country. Most of the deaths are from drug gang fights. Many of those who end up dead are young boys from the poor neighborhoods of Rosario. It is not advisable to get into a poor neighborhood without a local guide. It's not a dangerous city compared to other parts of Latin America but it's dangerous by the standards of developed countries.
Igual Rosario es más tranquila que Buenos Aires. Los narcos se matan entre ellos, los chorros pasados de rosca matan al que afanan que es alguien común
El pibe está loco y encima le da dinero!
@@Maverick0749 El problema no es que le de dinero sino que como son drogadictos se lo van a terminar gastando en drogas.

@@JuanCarlos-he4zh siiiiii! Por eso lo digo! El tipo no parece malo! Pero es peligroso tratar con gente así! Querés ayudar y se lo van a tirar en drogas la plata.
Anytime you're in a bad area and someone says "Ok, just wait here a bit and watch this.." trouble is likely brewing.
Well, this video isn't quite all sunshine and rainbows, so hopefully TH-cam doesn't take it down. I hope not, I think it's a decent little movie.
always great content my friend. i been in u tube prison for over a year. videos over 2 years old removed with no explanation on specifics why it did not meet community standards. i posted a video of goat Hearding and a goat giving birth...they removed it. anyhow stay safe brother enjoy your content
Appreciate you homie 🤙🏻
As long as it's a clear depiction of reality on our planet, and not necessarily an endorsement of any negative or illegal activity, then what's wrong with having that information available for us to learn?
I made the 100th like of the video, completing a Century of likes for this video!!
@@daStoRay great question ask you tube. they wont answer
If you have lived in South America (I live in Colombia), this video will have your adrenaline high as soon as he crosses the tracks. For anyone watching, please don't do this, they gave him a pass because of his relaxed and friendly nature, but even then he was still at very high risk. Great video to see what life is like down here for most people, commendable that he made this!
South America is probably not nearly as safe as Asian countries. I went all over Asia and never once was that spooked out nor robbed nor threatened nor assaulted. I knew all my years not never go down there and never go many places in the states either. I was spooked walking hood in North Saint Louis and Fergusson, MO when I used to inspect poles and map lines. Because of my friendly nature and wearing work attire, they gave me a break.
I think why this Vlog is so interesting is Tommy is so normal. He is kind of plain. It just allows the actual environment and energy of wherever he is to shine through. It actually fascinating how he is almost the backdrop instead of the star. He lets the adventure be the star of the show. It’s pretty brilliant.
That guy you were with was dangerous. I know the type. They lull you in with a false sense of security. I think the fact that you showed respect and willingly gave them money saved you. When I was in jail I was "befriended" by a similar guy and over time he took more and more advantage of me and the hostility grew. I don't think they are bad people, but they will do anything to survive and get their next fix.
you were in jail and you are judging people? stfu
I'm quite familiar with that type too, spent a lot of time with them but since I was willing to pay for the beers all was good. As long as things go their way it's cool. Yeah, not bad people just survivors.... think "trading places" (80s movie) they're a product of their environment.
I think he understood it but got scared of him and had to tag along till the end of it.
Lived in southwest USA (violent as an aggressive 3rd world), this would be a less intense situation on me. I would pull my secret revolver (next to my Bible) and make them see their not real gangsters while they use their knife or bats.
No excuses for behaviour aimed for the lowest common denominator !
My guy went to an Argentinian dope house and watched some fiends get high on Paco. The smoker and his girl were sketchy as hell, giving different answers, they were asking Sabbatical for financial help, he was excusing himself to run behind the dope house, clientele keeps walking up asking for their fix etc. He kept talking about danger, my dog,YOU ARE THE DANGER. National Geographic could never!
Yea even drug dealers have to pee sometimes.
Why does everyone say "my guy" now"? What the heck is going on?
@@seanrowshandel1680 always something new different
seems like a street british way of saying things
no biggie
Please learn english and understand that I'm a US citizen and have never been to britain.. I grew up in Virginia, the first state@@chrisbennett6260
Wow, I looked up paco. It's short for police so must name their erg after the police. Wonder why?
It makes me very sad as an argentinian to see this. I came to NY in '72 when I was 17 and I saw kids using drugs and drinking alcohol, something that I had never seen in my country. I makes me very sad the whole world is being ruled by drugs.
its not just drugs either, ultimately, its attention and dopamine. marketing and the cult of the individual, a false hope/dream. giving you pleasure/relief with one hand, robbing you of discipline with the other. The real swindle starts with corruption at the higher level, the movers and shakers of a society/city. its the human problem of community, everything is good when people are all pushing in the same direction, but when the direction of life is turning, the motivations change, resource deficiencies, desperation, the waters of acceptability become muddied and people get stuck - in the mud.
You’re so right Carlos, I’m 62 and remember reading the papers in the 80’s and 90’s about drugs in the US and being told the UK would be like it. Me and my brother laughed saying it would never happen here but it has. Totally destroyed everywhere.
@@markpitts8936ou’re right, it started here in late 90’s and now it’s a complete shambles. My brother has taken every drug you can imagine and is a ticking timebomb. Just going through some sh*t with him now. It’s all the dr*gs and alcohol. It’s messed him up quite bad.
@@markpitts8936 it’s because US influences everything. They let tons of
Immigrants from third world countries and let’s be honest they are the ones that are most into drugs. I’ve been offered countless times drugs in London by Africans, Pakistani’s e t.c.
@@markpitts8936 Nowadays England and Wales are second in the world for cocaine prevalence
Yo soy de Rosario, la verdad estuviste en una situación muy complicada y de la que solo está vez pudiste salir de ahí, tené más cuidado amigo, te deseo éxitos en tus viajes, esto fue un documental vivo de lo que se vive acá.
Buddy was chilling in the hood with 2 drug addicts after buying them crack and watched them smoke it🤣🤣 TH-cam is wild
Not crack, it's meth, and not smoked, it was shot....
@@timothinking9855 same shit at the end of the day, spending the day with some junkies who make up some fake story to buy their supply in his face hahaha
Lol
Lol
You're loco, Tommy. It's one thing to visit a neighborhood, another to go into an abandoned drug house with strangers.
I'm happy it worked out. You know how to get people on your side, but I just hope it doesn't catch up to you in the worst way.
I think you can still make great videos without going this deep into danger. Please keep that in mind.
Yes. Yes and yes again. That was borderline insane and could have ended up VERY badly. Tommy...please don't do this sh8t again... it might get a few views on TH-cam but the truth is, most of your viewers don't grasp the real danger.
Walking around this was the first I’ve ever seen him look scared
Agreed, danger zone. People on dope are no good, will stab you in the back literally. Be safe.
Yeah, It's unnecessary. Your life is more important than video clicks.
lol drug addicts are frail human beings.. If they don't have their dope a 13 year old could beat their asses. I used to be addicted to opiates so I can say this. Dope addicts are pathetic humans, this is why the majority of homeless people just sit on corners and beg ppl for money, they don't go out and physically harm people, because their bodies more than likely aren't even able. They can't afford guns, they would just sell them. He would be in more danger by the people who distribute the drugs than the ppl taking them. And to make something clear, when I say "pathetic" I just mean they have no strength, their bodies are so frail from doing drugs, and being strung out on them, most of the time if an addict doesn't have their fix they can't even stand up and move much. I don't actually think of addicts as pathetic in the sense that I don't like them. It's just a fact. I have lots of sympathy for those who are stuck in the loop of drug addiction.
There is something beautiful about this. I think you don't judge the people that you meet and you allow them to show their humanity. I've seen so many videos of scams and scammers, they have their place - but this is deeper. This is showing people in all their vulnerable and flawed humanity. Thank you so much for this, my heart goes out to those you have encountered.
The way Tommy can read people is crazy. He has people coming up to him all the time asking for money, or food or whatever. A lot of people he turns down. He legitimately can't help everyone, but it's like he can instantly tell who would push things too far. He's able to go into the worst places and spot the person, who's probably a fairly decent person deep down, to spend a few dollars on and get a tour guide and a bodyguard. Pretty cunning the way he uses them and helps them at the same time. A little display of strength with the chin ups, but in a playful manner, shows he's strong enough to be a problem if things go sideways. At the end, making it clear he wants to help that guy's "daughters" by swapping information, instead of just handing over wads of money, was incredibly shrewd.
Amazed by your interaction with that guy. He keeps saying you’ll get robbed while he asks you for money for his “daughters”. I wouldn’t have given him anything and then gotten into trouble. You got yourself a tour guide, a bodyguard and a butler for a few bucks. I salute you.
Yup, I was a tough guy like an Idiot in Jaco Costa Rica, same scenario, junkie asks to watch my friends car, I pushed him away..came back to broken windows .
best coment ever
@@brianjschumer had you been from the UK you'd have known to avoid this. Local kids near bit football stadiums do this on match day. They will offer to 'mind yer car' for a couple of quid, and if you refuse you'll come back to the windows done in.
Your utilitaristic point of view on people is what actually makes impossible for you to get what he got
Lady washing the car basically told him he would take his money the irony with the man was real
Definitely no sister or daughters mate, if you know drug addicts you know that straight away. I like the respectful and open-minded way you approached them though, even though they lied to you I believe showing them love is always the way to go, if nothing else at least to improve their sense of self respect. A lot of addiction is fuelled by unhappiness which a lot of the time comes from a lack of self worth (eg. due to trauma)
So true. Thanks for your compassion. I’m in recovery, and work with people with addictions, and most wouldn’t believe the stories I’ve heard. I’ve been an SA/domestic violence advocate too, and have seen enough court cases and had more than enough personal experiences to know it’s not all hard luck stories. It gets real out there. 😞
As a hardcore addict, I've seen very similar even in what one would think are the best parts of the U.S. Drug addicts tend to be either the nicest, most helpful people you'll ever meet, or the exact opposite. There's pretty much no inbetween, and it's fascinating. I sincerely applaud you for sitting there with them as they did that, you were quite natural so it's clear that you have more social experience than pretty much anyone I've ever met haha keep up the good work and stay safe brother you live an amazing life
Man, this video gave me that feeling I haven't had for years... It's that spooky moment when you realize you just walked into something real and potentially dangerous. Happened to me a few times while travelling, maybe you have a light buzz going and you're meeting new people, you let your guard down a little because it feels familiar. But then that warm feeling freezes over into something a little unsettling, maybe even a little scary. You suddenly become very aware of just how vulnerable you are. You don't really know the people you're with, you don't even really know where you are, and maybe this is exactly the horror stories you've heard about.
Holy moly - you're so nuts man. I hope you're luck continues - I really do. You're the best travel vlogger out there, but following people into abandoned buildings is a recipe for disaster.
For real i got scared even
I agree that was close, luckily nothing happened
@@omarnina9770 Yea your right is not worth looking at places like this
The ability to speak languages is amazing in breaking down dividing walls.
However, it isn’t possible to predict the behavior of people who are taking drugs.
Sober people are predictable. Personalities can quickly change after some intoxication. Eventually, most people who hang out in the wrong places find themselves there at the wrong time.
Drugs make some people desperate.
I always see that europeans or North american ... Has a devirtuate Sense of security. Sabati knows the world better than me, but they has a false Sense of security. This Situation Is 50/50 if you repeat it several times. Looking for risky Situations at the End it leads you yo a real one. Hope the force be with you everytime .
The way she looked at her „husband“ twice when he told the stories of their children and when she talked told me everything. He was lucky he did not come across more vulnerable or scared or they would have robbed him.
I sensed that tone also
I don't believe anything about them having 2 daughters.
The 2 daughters were a ploy 4 the $ 2 buy paco. They were thinking of robbing him but they got scared. He wanted to dash with the camera but he wasn’t fast enough.
@@wood-wheel-wizard you think they actually wanted him to leave safely because they really saw him as a good hearted person or they rather realized and got scared like shit about the CIA coming for them?
ok Professor.
Rosario was a wonderful city like 25 / 30 years ago. The city was relatively small compared to today. Everything changed with free universities and more people setting their homes in the city. Rosario started to grow faster than expected and that caused a real state boom that brought a lot of people from poor provinces to the city as well as students.
Back in the days you were able to walk the streets on broad daylight without a problem but had to be careful during nights. The funny thing about it.. is that most robbers had codes. They didn't rob on their neighborhoods and if you acted calm, they would take the wallet and leave without other issues.
I walked the entire city, from the richest and beautiful places to the most abandoned and poor places (Villas) nobody messed with you as long as you didn't mess with them.
With Drugs moved to nearly every corner of the city, things have changed a lot... now criminals not only robs you but shoot you and kill you if you try to talk or even sometimes, they shoot you because they are so desperate for drugs they can't even think straight.
First it was cocaine in Rosario and paco in Buenos Aires, now Rosario has everything.
Politicians tried to reduce violence by closing clubs earlier not allowing gas stations to sell alcohol and increasing controls ended up putting the city on a state of hibernation. The city is empty at night and criminals roam it.
I have been binge watching this channel since I discovered it last week and these vlogs are insane!! The danger level is off the charts and there is no doubt everything is 100% authentic. Please stay safe
I am so glad I found this channel. No bs, straight to the point, and actually shows the nitty gritty that no one else does. Keep it up sabbatical!!!
Yeah no bs youtube intro asking to drop the like and use honey 😂
Nitty gritty lol where did you get that from?sunshine shoulders lol
Yeah and he's a genuine guy, not a tool who's out exploiting third world people for money and clicks
@@rickgreen8247 same question im asking myself, I thought it was only jamaican 🇯🇲 that uses that term.
@@tenobest3619 sunshine shoulders says that x20 times a day lol
What kept you safe with that guy was the fact you showed him total respect bought him a beer gave him few dollars never shunned him off spoke to him like a man and a most important a equal human being I'm pretty sure if you did walk he was gonna try take your camera from you he couldn't keep his eyes off it at first I'm just a new sub to your channel I'm gonna watch more see where else you been . Take care God bless
I don't want to plant a seed of fear in you, but I must agree with others, this is prety dangerous stuff. It's nonetheless amazing watching you make friends with the most unexpected characters and find the good in them. I wish your luck and your personality keep on making you safe.
The dude that took you to his "home" was a drug addict. Even tho he treated you well, you could have encountered someone that lured you to his home and robbed you. As an Argentinian I saw that a bit risky, but at the same time you can see that not all people are bad in a dangerous neighborhood. It's really a shame that people in need end up in the drug addiction way. The scene with Miguel's wife holding the paco spoon was pretty sad tbh
If he didn't "help them" willingly they would have no doubt taken it from him.
@@7547JAMES True. I mean, you don't go there without a guide. He was lucky that Miguel didn't choose to take advantage of him
@@Tsuchinoko he took advantage of him but not in a nasty/evil way
his name is Flaco man
Yes true but God with Tommy I pray God he wash the daug out of her✊🏿🤲🏾😇❤🔥♥
Im not even halfway through the video and this is nerve wrecking, none of us would go around a bad neighborhood with a camera or our phones in hand
I got a mad stress headache.. he was gettn sucked in there for a minute.. glad he got home safe..
It really was an unnecessary risk. Not worth it. Glad he made it out.
he has 9 lives........ so far he hasn't run through all 9 yet...
but he just racks it up to "people are good"
He's naive... probably a liberal.
hopefully he wakes up. as of now he's sleepwalking through very dangerous situations.
he's foolish.... childish.
@juliovillagran4105
Yes. He is young, tall & in good shape and speaks the language.
A major advantage but still dangerous !!!
Appreciate you posting videos like this, it’s interesting to see how people are peoples behavior im different cities! I’ll be going soon so I’m getting some knowledge beforehand
Tommy I LOVE what you do! I'm addicted to your show. Please keep it up and be safe!! Your sincerity is your greatest charm! Thank you for sharing your travels!!
Yooo!! There wad a lot going on. The way you handled the whole situation at the abandoned building was just 👏🏾 You are a gracious person.
It cost him some money or they wouldve robbed him. Be careful
@@imurderuh for real the lady washing her car warned him about trusting people she probably was talking about the guy sabbatical was with
@@Brolic123 yeah, fiend's are only about 1 thing.
@@Brolic123 Dude was sketchy from the beginning. I get that he needs to make content but following back homeless drug addicts to an abandoned house is just not worth it.

Tommy "balls of steel" Sabbatical at it again. You seriously have a knack of keeping tight situations calm and informative and very human at the same time. Thank you for sharing your adventures!
Balls pf steel or absolutely nuts? 😅
That stoner window washer was looking for a way to rob him. The disappearing around the corner, the other guy coming along, were dicey situations. I'd have run. FAST! He obviously gets a rush from going into dangerous situations. Maybe should have been a war correspondent.

Al fin un gringo mostrando la desigualdad de latinoamerica sin caer en morbo o hacer turismo de pobreza 👏🏻
Just recently found your site, fantastically enjoyable and educational videos, looking forward to viewing more.
This reminds me of my time going through the Army jungle training course in Panama.
I was hanging out in Colon City with my buddy during a 12-hour pass after completing the course. We were walking outside of the central part of the city drinking beers when some young girls our age approached us. They told us to "turn around now, it is not safe for you in this part of town", a few blocks up we could see a bunch of guys forming in the street. Yea, we turned around real quick and headed back as fast as we could lol.
Those 2 girls saved our ignorant asses that Afternoon.
Wtf
yeah, Colon is one of the most dangerous places in Panama, thats the reality of most of latin america, as he said at the end of this video "how can anybody just walk around not knowing whats going on those neighborhoods"
Colon sounds like a shitty place to be
Javier Colon is an open sewer of crime Danger Will Robinson

Rosario has a very particular geography: there's a "safe zone", which is the city center (both micro and macro), where Tommy's hotel is.
In the center, you may find nice bars, museums, shops and monuments and, as I said, it's the least dangerous place in Rosario (and the most "modern" looking).
However, here's the thing, the city center is surrounded on all sides by dangerous neighborhoods: northwards, southwards, westwards, there's none eastwards since the Parana River lays east. Tommy only visited North Hood, which is definitely not the most redflaggish place in Rosario, buuuut it might raise some alarms going through there, just as y'all saw in this video.
West Hood is.. kind of okay, the deeper you go west the most problematic it might become, but South Hood is veeeeeery dangerous, because there's where all the narco bunkers are, so tons of massacres and shootings happen once in a while, not a very nice place to go for a walk. And east is only dangerous if you don't know how to swim.
If you're a foreigner and you ever plan to visit Messi's hometown, never leave the City Center, and even there keep your eyes always open. Source: lived in Rosario for 7 years.
Tal cual. Te faltó decir que la zona de Fisherton del aeropuerto (aldea, hostal del sol, san eduardo) también es bastante lindo y dentro de todo tranquilo. Funes tambien es muy lindo y parece que es otro mundo en cuanto a la delincuencia que se ven en los barrios no-céntricos. Auqnue como dijiste vos, eyes always open.
Are you still in argentina? How much is an oz of c
Wow, that's the "real deal" advice, thanks for sharing.

Many of my friends think that I'm living on borrowed time because I treat people with sincerity in complicated situations. This video was nothing short of cathartic for me. Thank you
Giving people more money to shoot up some drugs isn't sincere one bit.
im sure that's not the issue, the problem is that you keep finding yourself in "complicated situations", and one day your luck will run out.
Holy Shee-ite! I was scared for you several times. It's like visiting the dark side of LAX or CHI. Not only would I not go there during the day - or night - but especially not with a GoPro on a stick! It's like carrying around a flag that says "ROB ME"!!! Brave Indeed.
Mad respect on the Spanish and subtitles.. they take hours to do and sometimes you have to redo them. Trust me, I’ve made several videos with them. Man you got some big cojones going with those guys into that drug house, I bet you were nervously waiting to get out but couldn’t miss the opportunity to get the content
As he said in the beginning he put on his big pantalones.
You got the most random videos that highlight real life around the world, things average people don't get to see on a regular day.
Bro how tf u have 2.33 mil subs with 9 vids and 9 in 3 playlists 👀👀, bro wtf 😒😒
@@Officialwickedverse what a scam
I went to a border town in Mexico. Got off the beat in path to explore.(like you). Met two wonderful locals in a booth who were selling general things. They pointed out they're "friend" across the street thought I was a DEA (drug enforcement agent). They also told me he was a killer. So one suggested I take the bus back just to be safe when we finish. One of them escorted me back to a bus stop and waited with me till the bus arrived. Always some good and bad apples everywhere. When I got back on the USA side, my license plates were stolen off my car rental where I thought I had parked it in good spot. - lol.
Eye opening and educational, this kind of content provides a valuable perception of the world abroad. 👍
I'm originally from Buenos Aires but immigrated to Canada in 2001, I truly enjoy your videos but this one was extremely unsettling, perhaps due to the fact that I am Argentinean. When you crossed the rails a full new world unfolded, it was raw, inconvenient, dangerous and real. Thank you!
Que queres decir con esto? Que pasa en Canada no hay sitios asi, entodo lado del mundo hay un barrios que son mejore que otros, no te sorprenda mucho, yo sali de San Telmo cuando tenia 10 años a hora tengo 57 la última ves que visite mi país fue casi dos años antes el lio del covid y vi barrios pobres y barrios ricos, es la vida que llevamos que le vamos hacer
Gaston, last week I heard on a completely different channel that he saw a visitor in London (uk) robbed. I live in the north, but I was disgusted by it. They choose to come here and they aren’t safe! 😤
I'm Canadian born and raised, through all the African travel vlogs etc this is the only one I also found extremely unsettling, maybe It was a little too close to what you see in cities here with addicts and rundown neighborhoods, places I wouldn't ever go.
@@mjrami si pude leer ingles. Escribe en engles tambien. Gracias.
todo para decir que vive en canada
MY man 8:00 , I live just a few blocks or in a neighboorhood nearby where you were, that's Casiano Casas near Washington Street. You're so crazy man, I wouldn't even like to walk there, not even in the afternoon, mostly because there's a lot of robbers and stuff. _I mean, it wasn't the worst pleace but definitely you got luck that all the people that you met were nice to you because you were filming them. xd
Still I really admire that you have the balls to go to different places that are not the main attractions in Rosario and show the real city, this is what it actually looks like most of the times. And im telling you, if it was at night, most probably you wouldn't have your camera right now.
As you can see there's a lot of poverty and if most people tell you that it's not safe to walk around, trust them, its not safe. But well I hope you had enjoyed your staying here, I didn't know your channel otherwise _I would be happy to show you a little bit more of the city.
Good luck man !
So real and informative. Thank you for sharing.👍👍

I really love yuor channel. You have a way that draws me in. Thanks!
I like your videos, I've been watching some of them lately.
This is very very dangerous to do. The kind of people like that man that "guided" you is the people you should avoid at all costs. They are mostly drug addicts. If they like you, they won't harm you but you do anything to enrage them, and they could steal your things or hurt you.
You can distinguish those people by their looks. So be really careful, they are drug addicts. I knew from the first moment, and when he asked you for money I already knew it was for drug. Please don't do this again it's really dangerous. You could get in trouble just by staying next to them. Drug addicts tend to get killed by drug sellers because some of them don't pay. Yea, they might be walking in a sunny day in the street, a bike pass by and they get killed by multiple shot..... and if you are with them you could also get hurt.
It's super endearing of you wanting to know the cultures, but getting involved with those people is something you don't want to happen.
S
Me pone nervioso que te adentres en esa zona. Sos muy inteligente. No le envíes dinero a nadie, ya seguro sabes para que lo van a utilizar. Se hacía tu amigo pero de alguna forma te estaba robando al pedirte. Ya no te metas en esos lugares.
The guy was being nice even thought they have drug addiction, he spent time showing him around and trying to keep him safe. He deserves money i think even if he was gonna buy drugs with it. Dude is gonna get money 1 way or another and the other way might not be as pleasant.
Nunca le robó, podes decir que quiso hacer un negocio nada mas. Y dentro de todo, hizo lo que dijo. Lo cuido, lo acompaño, y le dio contenido a su video. Jajajajaja. Un grande a pesar a de todo. Nunca lo apretó, siempre se lo pidio estando tranquilo. Aun con la cabeza explotada de falopa...

Just subscribed. I love your content and the thoughtful way you present it.
you are such a natural - in any language too. Best travel vlogger on YT by far.
Great post. You actually risked a lot for this video. Daytime was the equalizer. Your interactions with that struggling couple was glorious. Looking forward to more of your posts dude.
It's great to document all aspects of life in a place like Argentina, keep it up!
Thanks for the video it was really tense feeling more suspensfull than a movie, cause it is real, may God be with you at all times.
This episode made me anxious 😬 I was on edge the entire time.
Stumbled on this video. Reminds me of when I was your age. I travelled through 9 countries, mostly developing countries. I never stayed in "nice" places. I hung out with the locals everywhere I went. Bad areas? Yeah, even in modern developed countries. Really bad. I consider those travels some of the best education of my life. Were there dangerous moments? Many. This video really took me back.
What is the opposite of developing?
I did the same but just 3 countries. Surprisingly people living in slums were the most kind and giving. You learn a lot out there, especially how to appreciate life and being content.
Fernando, how so would you say your experience has been educational for you?
@@FsimulatorX Well, I am an MD. Traveling taught me about people. That has been not only personally important but professionally important in practical terms. I learned how to better understand my fellow man. Still learning....
@@FernandoChaves thanks for sharing
Filmando paqueros en Rosario. VIVA SABBATICAL CARAJO
Love the channel thanks TH-cam for recommending💪
You definitely played that smart...it çould have gone very differently!! I'm thoroughly hooked on your videos now that I start started watching but I must say, I worry for some of the situations you find yourself in! Be careful, my friend! No experience is worth forfeiting all the rest of them for!✌❤❤❤
Sabbatical always doing some crazy sh**t and risking his life just how we like it 😅…..!
I like when people risk their lives for my entertainment.
As someone who's worked with intravenous drug users and the homeless for many, many years I can tell you that this video was entertaining but nail-biting. Don't let that camera get you killed. Africa was pretty 3rd world 🌎, but so many people were chill. Jamaica, you almost got your ASS handed to you by a feisty, angry drunk.
But THIS? I dunno man, we love the entertainment value, but we don't wanna witness your untimely demise 💯
These guys were literally deciding Tommys fate in this abandoned house and in the end probably thought it was too risky to attack him and thankfully settled for a smaller reward.
The tension during the small talk was something else.
His posh Argentine college pals told him he lived in a rough neighbourhood and he bought it. He doesn't now what a rough neighbourhood is. He has no idea. This place he got off the bus is just the outskirts of the worse.
entertaining ? interesting word choice
@@enzomaidana5369 Totalmente, la parte donde el vivia no era nada fea. En especial no hay que olvidar que dentro de capital tambien hay villas.
@@user-xu3bg7zh9c pero más vale. Once barrio jodido? Por favor. No tiene idea. Tuvo suerte igual. Igual a los fisuras esos se les picaba la cabeza porque para ellos no chorear a un Carlitos así con una cámara de 200 Lucas y Cash encima es considerado un insulto al paco ajaja. Tuvo mucho suerte.
muchas gracias por tus videos. muestran una verdad k tal vez no todos quieran ver. se te agradece.
Man you’re a different type of person! It’s not a bad thing! You can tell you’re a genuine dude!
Tried helping the guy buy food for his family but ended up buying him crack lol...
Yeah as soon as he said we’re taking care of things before we get my daughters back from my sister I knew they were junkies. Heroin*
Lol he sure did
🤣🤣🤣
I had a feeling that's the food he was looking for lol
Lmfaooooooo
You're a good guy Sabbaticacl for trying to help the couple, and even trying to help the kids directly by asking if the sister has a bank account, but unfortunately they are addicts as you realized. Throwing money at them would just lead to them just using more drugs, so unfortunate to see.
The sister & kids line could easily be fiction for all we know.
@@hikidunm1582 100% dude was excited at any opportunity to ask for a handout. I tried helping a guy exactly like this, they should write books on fiction with how much they invent.
@@iang4727 Yeah i've learned to just not help people unless you know for a fact that they aren't bullshitting around.
man, he knows it very well, it is all a lie to gain their trust and not do anything to him, he is not gonna send them any money!
@@diegosense2833 Soy argentino por lo que entiendo perfectamente el acento y los modismos a la hora de hablar del hombre y la mujer que se estaban drogando y se nota claramente que era mentira lo de las hijas porque la mujer en un momento se equivocó y queda en evidencia. Yo creo que se quería ganar la confianza para seguir sacandole dinero. Espero equivocarme y ojalá sean buenas personas.
Ok man like I say been watching your episodes in order well after I saw your latest vids first ,but Now Ive finally made it to 💯🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Awesome, great for sharing.
You could've been easily kidnapped when you went to this guys house, specially when you wanted to walk outside a bit and he said "just wait a little bit". I felt like he was waiting for something to happen
he was trying to get money for more drugs, the kids story was fake, the wife accidetanlly sayed that the kids were on his sister in law house, when the guy sayed multiple times that the kids were on his wife sister house, and also thats the most common story for crack heads or paco heads in this case, the type of ppl in argentinian hoods are known as ñeris (or also the hard R word, black in spanish, more fore the content of the mind/head and not for the skin color)
he had to pay them off to leave that old house, dude basically said I showed you around, are you going to help us before you leave here..
He didnt say that, he say "wait here im going to pee"
Waiting for the sun to go down.
When the locals tell you to be careful. It's time to leave. People will kill you just for that camera. It's not just that city. Most cities have areas you should not mess around in.
Si, todas las ciudades de Latinoamérica, pero también lo repiten bastante porque no quieren que se lleven una mala imagen del país, no porque sea realmente peligroso (Que si bien hay zonas que si lo son, hay muchas las cuales no)
Ive been to many dangerous cities and lived in a few. You learn to cope and survive, and you realize thats what most everyone else in these places are doing. There are some dangerous people and bad things can happen, but it isnt the Purge movie people make it out to be.
holy crap dude!!! So many vloggers go out of their way to fake danger and talk about the 100 times " they almost died" nowadays. You my friend walk right into the hornet's nest like it's nothing. This made my stomach turn. Imagining being from the US there carrying a camera around. ALONE!!! the number of things that could have happened we cant even count. Balls of steel brother.
steel shaft too ????
Guy got in the grit of the city and we got a real insight there thanks for sharing now to the channel ready to watch more already
Ni yo siendo argentino y del conurbano de Buenos Aires no me animaría meterme en esos lugares, así que hay que valorar este tipo de contenidos más el respeto que das y recibís por parte de la gente donde claramente la gran mayoría son gente bondadosa y ese es el mensaje que importa en este video. Una lástima cómo vive esa pareja y lo más seguro es que la ayuda que les hayas brindado va a destinarse en comprar más drogas, pero por tu seguridad hiciste bien en ayudarlo porque de otra forma no habrías salido bien de ese lugar.
Por cierto, es "Malvinas", no "Falklands" 😉
La diferencia entre Malvinas y Falklands es la misma que Londres y London, las dos son correctas dependiendo de que idioma estes hablando.
Es Falklands en inglés, Malvinas en español. El es correcto
@@leverholme9894 Lo sé. Lo dije en sentido como argentino, no por el idioma.
Falklands. Not Malvinas 😉
@@leverholme9894 Él está en lo correcto*
Lo que dijo es correcto*
"Él es correcto" means basically "He is an upright man".
Man, thank you so much for this content. This has become my favorite channel fast. Your humor is so subtle and the fucking fearlessness, good shit man. happily would support a patreon. Thanks again.
Uyyy como te la jugaste amigo!, esta vez te salio bien pero no todas pueden salir igual, la prox anda con alguien ya de confianza y no tan jugado... abrazo y buena estadia en Argentina. Good luck friend!
Excellent video
I don't even need to watch the videos anymore before I give it a like lol. Always great content mi amigo!
There is always two sides to a story and the same goes when you see a beautiful place there’s a dark side.
Great video yet again 💯👌🏻👍🏻
Stay safe brother watching from wales 🏴 Uk 👍🏻🏴
Had anxiety through the end of the video hahaha gnarly!
It never fails. You always crack me up at one moment in time in your videos. 🤣😎
Dude, I worry for you.
I know the elaborate lengths that an addict will go to, to rip off or rob a person.
You have a finely honed sense of character, and are the most streetwise world traveler I know, but I still worry.
Thank you for your massive balls of steel and for sharing this with us.
Massive balls?
and shaft too while your at it i suppose............
you are one wild one lol
I've been in and out of heroin addiction for a long time. I live in northern Maryland close to Delaware and I used to drive up to Philadelphia to score. Kensington is probably one of the most well-known open air markets in the country and one of the most dangerous. You have to learn fast, most of the time I would park a little bit away from the blocks and I would circle around once or twice and find a homeless person or a couple that was sick and would tell them that I would buy them each a bag if they would just walk with me so I didn't get robbed. I would give them a couple cigarettes and a few dollars if I could afford it, and eventually the same few people would recognize me when I went up there because I would only go when I had enough cash so also the dealers would recognize us. You don't see a lot of white folk walking around that area so I tried my best to blend in and never walk by myself always at least one other person. One thing I learned though is the old heads that live in a neighborhood like the people that run the stores and stuff if you're nice to them they will tell you what's up if they warned you not to go here or there you'd best listen. A friend of mine had a gun pulled on him by a child once couldn't have been more than 10 years old, another guy I knew was stabbed to death because he paid with an older looking $20 bill and the guy thought it was fake.
Tommy you are crazy bruh! Love from India!
That’s what i love about your videos man they are just so raw and real..
Also that dude you bought crack for wasn’t a bad man i liked how he told the other guy to back off @24:45, this shows people want you to have good experiences in their country , that’s why we should get to know people before judging them.
Thank you for your updates, I really like your uniqueness in learning and speaking almost all languages in each place which you visit. This mingles you well with the local community.
Congratulations on #100!!! 👏
que lindo tomas, te salvaste. dios te proteje. vivo en texas hace 20 anios. abrazos
Your channel is a pearl!
Manejaste bien la situación, le caiste bien al flaco. Y pudiste recorrer la zona con un lugareño.
Yo hice algunos recorridos así en mi juventud. Mientras mantengas algunos codigos puedes sobrellevar la situación, pero no siempre pasa. Sigue prestando atención a tu intuicion.
as an argentinian, thank you for showing this.
@@anotheranon3118 it's not a matter of hiding under the rugs, this man was in a very dangerous place, it's just not worth the risk.
Tommy headin anything to get a buzz, great as usual.
Awesome video, I think it is because it shows the reality of situation.
Congrats on video #100!
Even here in Alaska we have a homeless problem and there is a strange divide where most people don't care about them and have the mentality that they did it to themselves. Really though, they're just people who have had a rough time. That seems to be a thing everywhere you could go.
Actually, many are schizophrenics or drug addicts.
It is not just Alaska. The US is infested!!! th-cam.com/video/WVq88JfBrcg/w-d-xo.html
The same in England, most of the homeless were sexually or physically abused well in the care of the government when they were kids.
@@GUITARTIME2024 street people who resort to drug use do it mostly because they can't afford regular meals and warm clothes, it's a cheaper way of killing your appetite and ignoring the cold
@@TheoTattaglia wrong. Plenty of free meals and charity clothing in America . You've been brainwashed.
wow, soy argentino, y te metiste en un lugar medio turbio Sabbatical, de igual manera muy buen blog. excelente. mis respetos
He reminds me of that guy who lived with wild grizzlies thinking they would tolerate him amongst them. I'm half expecting for him to experience the chomp as the grizzlie man suffered. BUT... It's really nice to be pleasantly surprised to find kindness and friendship everywhere (especially like that rawanda episode).
I just Subscribed this channel for being the rare one for exploring the country I like, for its beauty and remoteness, Argentina.
Soy de Pakistan. Argentina, te quiero 💐
You need a set of the new Google camera glasses... I don't think where you go any one would suspect. You rock Tommy. Watching older videos, it's impressive how you can discern the exact point to step back, or keep going deeper past fear and probably well deserved, you find the gold. Thanks for sharing yourself. The places are increadeble, your genius is showing.
I was thinking the same thing! He needs a set of Google glasses!
Maybe but then again that big ol camera is a bit of a deterrent to a lot of troublemakers. As soon as most people see they’re being recorded they’ll act obedient real fast.
The camera is probably what is saving him. People probably think twice about killing someone on film.
Tommy this video was nerve wrecking for sure, amazing video, i wish you well dude, just try to keep yourself safe out there
im from Argentina and it's absolutely incredible all this that ur sharing....
never saw it in first hand, ur kinda Brave if u ask me
Bro, your advice on not going into parks at night pretty much applies to just about everywhere in the world.
