African kids see a white person for the FIRST TIME — (super cute)
You guys want some donuts?
Thank you.
You're welcome.
Stabilize.
Okay, share them, okay?
Everybody gets some, okay?
Everybody, okay?
Hey guys, welcome back to the channel.
Today we're driving through the middle of nowhere in Uganda.
We're up in like the northeastern kind of corner over by one of the massive lakes.
So as we're getting up close to the lake, this road gets really shoddy.
It's a dirt road and it's been raining.
This right now is during rainy season in Uganda which apparently I never knew.
If you go to Uganda, don't go in the summertime.
I thought since they're so close to the equator that it'd be pretty normal most of the time.
But I stopped over to a little shop to get some nice little donuts.
People really like donuts here and both in Tanzania.
But it tastes really good.
They're like no sugar though, just like plain donut.
Well, you see what I'm dealing with.
And also I'm lucky because they did have a Land Cruiser that had automatic.
This one is automatic.
Some of them though have manual.
Which most vehicles in the US, of course, we drive on the left side.
And then I learned to do manual that way.
I taught myself manual in Africa.
But I've never done manual with my left hand.
So that's area I don't want to play around with.
But so we're kind of lucky that we did find this one.
It was only like 75 bucks a day or something.
Everybody, all the kids lined up on the side of the road.
And this is driven by...
It's a very bad word.
It's like the n-word for white people.
But it's all they know what to say.
So let's keep going.
We're almost good.
We're like, I don't know, like five minutes away from the lake.
So let's go.
Okay, so now we're stopping for some mangoes.
Shubham loves his mangoes.
He grew up on a mango farm.
You guys want some donuts?
Thank you.
You're welcome.
What's your name?
Huh?
And what's your name?
Jungle?
Yes.
Have you ever seen people with hair this color?
No, never?
Even long hair?
Very long.
Does it look good?
Do you want hair like this?
Or do you like your hair?
You like hair like this?
Okay, so now I don't know if you can see it back there.
Now we're leaving the military checkpoint.
Apparently, there's military checkpoints to go this far up to Lake Cayuga.
So they were super, super friendly guys.
They said, oh, yeah, they just want to check out our passports.
And just give them a little tip.
Actually, not a tip.
We gave them a soda and some mangoes.
And that was good.
So I'm glad we got the mangoes.
Mangoes are diplomatic, apparently, in Uganda.
But anyway, so they said, just come back this way.
And then there should be a road that loops around or whatever.
But we can get another view of Lake Cayuga.
So let's see what we can find.
Driving out here during rainy season seems to be a bad idea.
Because roads like this, they don't really...
And the kids are just sitting here staring at me like stupid Mzungu.
What's he doing?
Hello!
You know, it seems to be a much better idea to just be out here with a bike.
A motorbike or like a literally bicycle or just walking.
Just like these cattle.
I mean, like, how am I supposed to...
These roads.
I'm afraid of going on the side.
Because especially since it's the wet season.
You know, I can't really trust that the road is just going to hold up.
These cows are special here because their horns...
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
Okay, let's take a second.
It'll be okay.
Probably just looking at me because this idiot.
I'm just driving like zigzag all over the road.
This is the only way.
Oh, sorry.
Sorry, Siri.
Okay, the cows have to get out of the way now.
I don't want to hit the babies.
Watch out for the horns, bro.
Sorry, cows.
Sorry.
Splashing mud on them.
It's never going to get better as it keeps going.
And this road was a true living testament to that.
It was bad at the beginning.
But now we're like driving through like mini ponds.
But I guess I'm too committed now.
And I'm just hoping that we don't get stuck because...
Stabilize, stabilize.
I know it's not a GoPro.
But there's no way I'm going to be able to stabilize this footage.
So I'm sorry for all the bumps.
Again, all these kids are just looking at me like,
what are you doing here?
And also they scream at me,
Muzungu, Muzungu.
But they mean it in a bad way.
Like, what are you doing here?
Muzungu!
It's like naughty.
Bad, bad Muzungu.
No, it's like white guy.
White guy.
As bad as this road is as we keep going in,
the fun part is that this is the only way back out.
Because they're not going to let us go through the army installation.
Today's a special day because the president,
Museveni, is being inaugurated downtown right now.
So all of the army places are kind of like a lockdown on the borders
because they're expecting a lot of flashing from the...
Because it was a very contested election with Bobby Wine,
the reggae artist.
But okay, I think hopefully now we're getting almost close.
Who knows?
Okay, so it appears we've reached our final hurdle.
I feel like I'm totally gonna get stuck.
I'm not gonna like to go back without...
But congratulations!
We made it to the village!
I don't even know what this village is called.
Turn left.
No.
Right, left, yeah.
Turn left.
I don't think this village has probably ever seen a foreigner
because there's no way that that road is welcoming anybody in.
But this is real Ugandan life.
Oh, good night.
I smell the fishiness.
Oh yeah, I love the smell of fish.
Every one of these kids are staring at us.
I don't think they've actually ever seen a vehicle here.
I've not seen a single vehicle in this village yet.
This is the last point you're gonna stay.
Okay, this is the lake.
Okay, so now we've arrived here at the banks of Lake Cayuga
and it's all the villages over here.
So it's a very, very humble living.
But as we drove in, I think we're the only vehicle here.
Nobody has ever seen a foreigner before.
So they're all following us.
It's interesting how some of the buildings are just completely underwater.
It seems like this whole area is volatile to flooding.
How much are the fish?
This one, 15-15.
15?
We seem to be the only foreigners that have ever visited this village.
All the kids are following us around.
So now we're walking through the market,
a little bit away from Lake Cayuga.
All the kids keep following us still.
They just enjoy the company of foreigners.
Brayden, is your children?
Yes, my children.
They all want to hold my hand.
Hi.
So now we're stopping over for some tea.
And the tea, she's warming it up for us right now.
She said it's kind of cold.
But it's back in an alleyway.
It's like milk tea, of course.
It's not milk tea, it's milk.
Maybe it's just milk, yeah.
So we're going to see if we can teach the village kids.
We're going to teach the village kids a magic trick.
So, everybody.
Sit and do this.
Yeah, good, good, good, good.
Good.
Yeah, good, good.
Everybody?
Good.
Okay, here we go.
Now, cross.
Good, good, good.
Good.
Good, good, good, good.
No?
You have failed.
Successfully failed.
Successfully.
Okay, we distributed some tea to the kids.
It's a little unhappy.
Okay, we're leaving.
Goodbye.
The one thing I really like about African villages
is that they're not trying to make it all fancy.
Like, it is just like it is what it is.
Everything is very raw.
And it's like a very simple kind of way of life.
Which I think is really nice.
Are you coming with us?
Okay, we're leaving the village now.
I guess all the kids are coming with us.
The kids want to emigrate.
I think it's a Christmas song.
This is the village.
That's the market over here.
And then across the way, then this is the Lake Kayoga.
Hi.
Are you coming with us?
Okay, we're leaving.
Goodbye.
Bye.
What's the name of the lake, brother?
Lake Kayoga.
Sorry, sorry, sorry.
I don't have any chocolate.
There's no chocolate.
Oh, this is food.
Okay, share them, okay?
Everybody gets some, okay?
Everybody.
Bye.
Okay.
Okay, now with the sun setting, it's time to leave the village.
It's probably the most entertaining thing that had happened all month, all year.
I'd imagine now that the kids are gonna be running home and telling mom, mom, mom,
there's a mozumba in the village today.
Because everybody here looks at you like they've never ever seen you.
Which I think is kind of fun.
Like Africa is like the only place in the world that you can like truly find that.
I think it's like, it's such a virgin traveling experience.
Like it feels...
Where's the pothole?
You feel like one of like the original kind of travelers that visited here,
where you're the only person they'd ever seen.
So, okay, that's it for tonight.
We're gonna head back out on this road before the sun sets.
Because this road will get really dicey as the sun comes.
Even this part gets pretty bad.
So, okay, see you guys later.
