    I'm watching this today (9/8/22) and this video was taken 11 yrs ago. We will see that all successful people always start at the beginning, all the hard word will payoff when you see that you are growing. This guy is such a motivation, may we all don't stop achieving our goals. Lets not rush our time we all have different time to shine.

    Hey Amanda, great to hear you're moving to Tanzania soon. Many Tanzanians are extremely kind and hospitable, and when asking if I can film, many start to comb their hair or try to quickly make themselves look their best - even though say "no problem." That being said, I always respect someone if they don't want to be filmed... (continued)

    I visited Mombasa and Zanzibar recently. II was my first visit to Zanizibar. AlthoughI was there only for a day, I really enjoyed my visit. I used to live in Mombasa in 1961. I has changed; tourist sites for the better. People were ver friendly. I will return again one day.

    Great to hear you'll be visiting Zanzibar. You know since I travel quite frequently to Africa, I didn't really need anything new, but I did have to renew my yellow fever vaccine, also it's recommended to take a malaria profilaxis. Make sure you check out some official suggestions from the department of health. Thanks for watching!

    Hey, thanks for sharing, pilau/palau is really a fantastic dish that's a part of so many cultures. I think it originated somewhere in the Middle East and with the trade it's a big part of East African coastal cuisine now. Would love to try the Afghan version too!

  • @MarkWiens
    @MarkWiens  12 лет назад

    Cool to hear that Mark. If you take the local transportation it's not expensive to get around in Zanzibar. You can find accommodation for about 10 - 20 USD around the island and in Stone Town. Tours, I'm not really sure, but there are a lot of agencies in Stone Town, so just have a look around. Hope you have a great time!

    You're right, often times it's more focused on starch - which is cheaper and more filling - but can still be very delicious!
