Good morning, Bald and Bankrupt. I just became the first member of another RUclips channel that means so much to me. Good job on your visit in Africa out there and be careful.
Westerners have a bad picture about Africa and Arab world but i'll tell you this, we're kind and friendly people, we have the best hospitality but the media will never show you that
well, he provided ad related directly to content he makes. I see nothing wrong with it, short straight to the point advertisment which can help travellers.
It's good to see an easy to use esim. I'm often scrambling in the airport after landing to find a QR code to scan or a sim machine just to be able to get a taxi. I might try Saily next time and go prepared. I don't know how well it works but I'll give it a try.
My grandma's favorite channel. She just had a stroke and has had a tough time recovering. Playing it today for her today and she kind of looks like she's responding. Thank you for your work, Mr. Bald.
Now bald is patching you both. That’s a sore one to take. It’s almost awkward! Echo echo ec…😉❤️ Playing big man hope your granny’s making a full recovery. Tell her I said she better hurry up incase she misses Balds trip to the nudist beach next week 😉 It’s called Shaven Haven
Im very impressed with the cleanliness in uganda and the way the buildings aren't decrepit like in so many of the other countries you visit best of for the new classroom
I find it weird but Uganda on this video seems to be neater than India, ofc less developed and crowded, but at the same time a bit nicer place to spend some time
Got to say, Bens cheap room was cleaner than most premier inn rooms. Actually, every bar or home was lovely and clean. I know there's a camera, but what a great advert for Uganda, the people seamed friendly and polite.
I really enjoyed this video. My first trip outside of Canada was to Uganda (I was crazy) and I saw tons of things that really... changed my worldview and my life in many ways. The people were also just simply the best, so friendly and welcoming, inviting me into their homes. Lots of memories I'll never forget, like holding an AK-47 while our guide forded us across a muddy river filled with crocs (first time I've held a firearm!), being told life jackets only drag out your inevitable death on a boat since the crocs or hippos will kill you, best take your chances trying to swim to shore or drown quickly... and I could go on. Uganda is always in my heart, and even seeing this video like a 13 years after I was there it's changed so much.
Rediscovered your videos again after sustaining a bad shoulder injury. Thank you Mr. Bald, your entertainment and adventures are helping me through this 🩵 God bless.
People trolling Bald on some ad segment, ungraceful bunch really. He's been a legendary content maker for years and each and every one of you watched him FOR FREE all along. And guess what, it's still free FFS. Bald you're a legend, don't change a thing. Salutations from Switzerland
That was amazing to hear of backpacker Ben and the school..such a fantastic thing to do mate..then Bald pledged as well..this is turning out to be the best yet.
As a Ugandan , I was laughing the entire video....the way you interact with the locals is really interesting. My compatriots did the video justice. pure content .
@@toddburgess5056 No that is the point we do things for ourselves and if we didn’t we would be in the situation that these useless bozos are in. Anything else I can do for you oh and don’t phone me we will phone you not.
@@b.2221 what one person can build a bridge? What one person can build a school? Why are you so upset at the thought of these kind people offering their help? Is it hurting or costing you something? Or are you just generally an unhappy person?
Every time I feel anxious or I can't sleep I grab my phone and find Bald and Bankrupt from RUclips. I forget anxiousness and get a grasp of another world and thinking. Thank you Bald And Bankrupt for your videos. I've watched your videos at least 5 years if I remember correctly. Your style of making travel videos is the best!!! Every best for you from Finland!
Respect Backpacker Ben! You honoured the bet, but that's minor compared to the great work you did for the school. And both of you.... fantastic content.
The earnest "Yippie!" from Ben at having been relieved of his debt and welcomed to join Bald in a proper hotel was next level. His genuine relief was palpable.
you know for the first time i seen ben accepting it was odd, but later i realize that him knowing the next day he will meet these children and the school made sense.. like fr first time seen ben not arguing about it!!!
Honestly, your videos have always been hilarious, entertaining, and informative. They bring a perspective of the world that is needed, and you have balls of steel. You literally lower tensions and bring peace wherever you go. Keep going, you're doin the lords work!
@@wesrobinson3500 I really enjoy how he's been in more videos recently. He adds humor and a different perspective from Bald's. I just love watching these two interact 😂
Not so kind and welcoming when they come to our countries and realise most of us are poor too. Easy to be friendly to people seen as wealthy and easy marks.
There were like 10 hotels in that street, including some better ones, so Backpacker Ben would just move across the street if Bald would bail.. At least that is what I would have done (after paying for the room of course)
The reason he looked confused at 13:13 is because "Rolex" is a very common street food in Uganda. I know this because I spent three months in a small village in Uganda with a non profit last year :-). Great video, miss it a lot! People are hustlers for sure
I just came from watching his recent trip to India.. I can't believe the stark differences. I loved see'ing all the smiling faces compared to all the horns and scowls of India. I really hope to be able to visit places like Uganda before I kick the bucket.
Say what you want about Africa or Uganda but the people seem joyful and genuinely happy, for the most part. I can't help but notice the smiling people all over the cities and villages that are trying to sell their product and just the whole interactions, especially the women.

Uganda seems surprisingly warm and hospitable. This can be found all over Africa, but it really seems Uganda has the most consistently friendly locals.
I found the same in Malawi, though also there's the element that they see you as a white guy as also having money = maybe they can get something. But yes, Africans are friendly. Bit different in South Africa, where there is a lot of anger and hatred, also a lot of using people and selfishness, but I find people generally get along until the government and media stoke up flames.
They were asking 25000 for it, or about $7. He paid about $5 for the watch. Haggling over and complaining about minuscule prices in less developed countries is the sign of a seasoned traveler.
@@dogchaser520no he actually paid 5000UGX which is about 1.3dollars😅😅😅 haggling is a must survival skill in Uganda. Otherwise you’ll be fleeced even by a kid

Mzungu, also known as muzungu, mlungu, musungu or musongo, is a Bantu word that means "wanderer" originally pertaining to spirits. The term is currently used in predominantly Swahili speaking nations to refer to foreign people dating back to 18th century.
I am watching from Uganda and I stay near the PALACE HOTEL in Mbarara where you spent the night, I was so happy watching this and I always enjoy your videos, Mostly those of my beautiful country Uganda. And you later proceed to my ancestral land Kabale... I hope you've seen how we have so much love in Uganda
Are the people usually as nice as in this video? Even in the areas that seemed poor it seemed safe. Most of the people seemed happy and joyful, it made me want to visit!
@@256Kaku that is really cool thank you! My Priest has been to Uganda I was thinking I should suggest to him we make a trip some time. Joyful people are infectious.
Loved it! The people of Uganda are very nice, thank you for showing people this. I am looking forward to seeing you in Eastern Europe once again. Thanks Benjamin
Your best and only channel on RUclips. I’m always looking forward to new content. Please don’t stop what you do. Loving the education on this beautiful world we share ❤
I'm German and I have to say: great people. Somehow happy all the time, while living in dirt (compared to Western European standards), always smiling, always manage to survive, always staying positive. We Europeans can learn a thing our two from those people. I appreciate European standards, but I feel humbled, when I see how half of earths population has to live and how happy some of them seem to be. ❤
Man,😂 I’m tearing 😅whilst watching you! You’re the funniest person I’ve known for a while now! And for the fact that you blend with the locals makes it special! Keep it up

I love UG, my wife is Ugandan. We have a house im Kawempe, Kampala. These videos from Bald accurately portray the kindness and humour of Ugandans, always on a hustle yet always have time to talk. Its a huge and beautiful country, well worth a visit😀

OMG just found your channel. Was a long time since I laughed so hard. Thank you for sharing your heartwarming no filter wideos filled with love, humor and amazing people.🦄
They don't have much, but the people are so happy; they bring so many positive vibes. In my country (Sweden), people never smile or talk to strangers. I love uganda people. ❤ God bless you guys!
In that village, happiness seems to bloom everywhere. Despite the lack of even a proper road, smiles are abundant. It's a stark contrast to the concrete jungle I call home, where many seem to trudge through life. Of course, not everyone here is the same, but the difference is striking.
same brother, here in toronto area, everyone is angry but they have everything material known to mankind. You ask them, and they'll tell you toronto is the worst city on earth and as you said, i grew up in these types of areas and everyone was happy. It's almost like capitalism doesn't = human happiness.. hmmm
You’ve retraced the exact path I took 16 years ago. This brings back such fond memories. I am so happy to see the Ugandan citizens are still just as welcoming and friendly to Mzungus. Cheers!
I once travelled Uganda in my youth and I still think it’s one of the most beautiful countries I have ever seen in my life and I’ve had the opportunity to visit all over the world. I would really love to go back one day.
@@greatwhiteswag there are beautiful mountainous areas of the country, gorgeous tea fields which look like a more beautiful version of the windows XP desktop background and vast plains with incredible wildlife. The people there are incredibly friendly too.

The deleted scene at the end was amazing. The cake-faced lady just going: "Surrrpriiiiiise!" fucking A+ timing running into that one.
Wow, this video totally changed my perspective on Uganda! 🇺🇬 I'm honestly embarrassed about my previous assumptions. These people are so incredibly kind and welcoming, despite facing tough conditions.
Mzungu in the context of Ugandans especially in Bantu ethnic communities of East Africa or parts of Southern Africa means Wonderer as some have mentioned. However, it is not meant to be racist but a term for foreigners with lighter skin. It was adopted especially when Europeans arrived at the coast of East Africa and fearing the locals, they would try to get their way into the interior without proper guides. They would walk in circles and find themselves back to the point where they started their journey having lost track. Another belief is that because of the language barrier the European explorers or Missionaries couldn't communicate their intentions of visiting native communities and the natives decided to call them wonderers aka Mzungu (singular) or Bazungu (Plural) as people who are just wondering around without a proper plan. For centuries the MZUNGU term has been adopted for a foreigner with lighter skin colour than the locals are used to.
Yes, a lot of African countries call white people terms by their skin color. Even in Haiti they say, "Blanc" for white. In a lot of western countries it is inappropriate to refer to someone by their skin color. It comes off as racist. But what you wrote makes plenty of sense.
Hey Mr. Bald, I enjoyed this video. And I was thinking of Backpacker Ben and I'm happy you've linked his channel in the description. Any plans for coming to Manipur again? The last time when you were in India (near Manipur) you said the place felt like it was 10 years ago from your place, that was honestly spoken, I like it. Sending you good wishes! 😀
Bald is still the best, there’s no one like him. Tbh I’m surprised a TV network haven’t snapped him up; unless of course they have tried and it’s not Benjamins gig. Fantastic video as always.👊🏻😎

Mzungu, also known as muzungu, mlungu, musungu or musongo, is a Bantu word that means "wanderer" originally pertaining to spirits. The term is currently used in predominantly Swahili speaking nations to refer to foreign people dating back to 18th century.
Is it because we look like ghosts?
I thought it meant red face
I thought it meant ghost or white people🤣
At least it's better than "zero-zero" lol
@masztaarc There’s a viral video of some little rural, tribal kid crying when he sees his first white person, so yes 😂
lets gooo benjamin another banger as usual
I am watching from Uganda and I stay near the PALACE HOTEL in Mbarara where you spent the night, I was so happy watching this and I always enjoy your videos, Mostly those of my beautiful country Uganda.
And you later proceed to my ancestral land Kabale... I hope you've seen how we have so much love in Uganda
Are the people usually as nice as in this video? Even in the areas that seemed poor it seemed safe. Most of the people seemed happy and joyful, it made me want to visit!
@@neilwhitaker6284B&B barely showed the best of Uganda, you are most welcome 😊
@@256Kaku that is really cool thank you! My Priest has been to Uganda I was thinking I should suggest to him we make a trip some time. Joyful people are infectious.
mr bald makes a living by going on vacations all over the world. he is the ultimate free man
Lives the ( poor ) expat lifestyle without being beholden to a job.
Loved it! The people of Uganda are very nice, thank you for showing people this. I am looking forward to seeing you in Eastern Europe once again.
Thanks Benjamin
Brings back alot of great memories from a past trip I've made here. Thanks for the video!
Bless you, Ben, for building that school!!!! Love you both, and always happy to see you, Bald!
Love Uganda so much!! So nice to see people interacting with you!
Wow, this is really fun to watch. Thanks for the classroom Ben.
Your best and only channel on RUclips. I’m always looking forward to new content. Please don’t stop what you do. Loving the education on this beautiful world we share ❤
That's class backpacker Ben, respect for you 👏
Amazing content bald really does thrive wherever he goes
Stands in front on STD warning sign, declares Ben is in hospital with his little problem 😂😂😂😂
yetBald suspiciously complained about his arse a lot
@@Evy-1988 I was gonna argue with you but then I realised I get them from hard work and heavy lifting.... Dont think he does much of that
Another great video. He brings out the best in people.
Crazy statement.....
Honestly, sitting for hours is another way to have those problems.
What an incredible journey. I've loved this Uganda series. Classic B&B content. Thank you once again Ben & Ben.
I'm German and I have to say: great people. Somehow happy all the time, while living in dirt (compared to Western European standards), always smiling, always manage to survive, always staying positive. We Europeans can learn a thing our two from those people. I appreciate European standards, but I feel humbled, when I see how half of earths population has to live and how happy some of them seem to be. ❤
Man,😂 I’m tearing 😅whilst watching you! You’re the funniest person I’ve known for a while now! And for the fact that you blend with the locals makes it special! Keep it up
Hallo Sir, I'm form Sudan and i live in Amsterdam sinds 1996. Big fan bro and by the way you have got such an amazing way to talk to people man. God bless you and keep up the good work.
This video had some of the best banter with locals out of all your videos I've seen! Hilarious, especially the WhatsApp cologne 😂
Are you kidding? The channel gets more amazing with each new clip. BP Ben building schools in Africa? What next Bald? Simply the best brother.
Glad to see he’s still vlogging in his 50s. Keep ‘em coming Bald.
I mean the man has over 4 million subs at the time of me writing this comment lol and the people seem to enjoy his content. It seems pretty unfiltered to me tbh. I like it for that.
Finally an advert that I can really use. Saily looks good. 😄
That was one of your best vlogs for a while, really enjoyed it. The ppl of Uganda seem very genuine and lovely
100%, they seem very genuine and fun to be around
I love UG, my wife is Ugandan. We have a house im Kawempe, Kampala. These videos from Bald accurately portray the kindness and humour of Ugandans, always on a hustle yet always have time to talk. Its a huge and beautiful country, well worth a visit😀
If you don't mind me asking how did you meet your wife. They seem like wonderful people and the country is beautiful. TIA.
@@jamesballard6564 its a long story, but we met through our efforts working with Acid Attack Survivors. My work is in India, my Wife is an Acid Survivor too, running her own charity, Hope Care Rescue Mission in Kampala. The girl in my dp is my adopted daughter Anmol, an Indian Acid Survivor. I can legitimately thank Mr Bald for inspiring me and changing the direction of my life in 2019, to go travel to India, where I met the Acid Survivors and felt compelled to help them as best I can. My work there continues to this day. Dave
@@jamesballard6564 I had replied twice, but the comments are not showing? So here goes again!

@@jamesballard6564 they usually prefer their own african men but if you have money and visa you might have a slight chance.
@@thebeliever9253 this isn't true😂😂 I am a Ugandan married to a slovak who is a UK resident..and it wasn't for the money..mark you I'm living in uganda 4 years later.
I've followed you for over 6 years now, seeing you in my country makes me proud and happy😂
I felt happy looking at how happy they look. Thanks for the outstanding episode!
Hey baldie, your Uganda videos are straight fire.
Why not
😂😂😂😂😂
Why not
OMG just found your channel. Was a long time since I laughed so hard. Thank you for sharing your heartwarming no filter wideos filled with love, humor and amazing people.🦄
They don't have much, but the people are so happy; they bring so many positive vibes. In my country (Sweden), people never smile or talk to strangers. I love uganda people. ❤ God bless you guys!
They are all drunk
I had a Swedish friend once, he was odd, would just walk off without saying goodby to anyone lol
@@definitelynotatroll246 🤣🤣🤣
They used to smile in Sweden before all the Immigrants came.
@@ukyo6195not true..... Yeah, Ugandans drink alot but they aren't drunk all the time.
In that village, happiness seems to bloom everywhere. Despite the lack of even a proper road, smiles are abundant. It's a stark contrast to the concrete jungle I call home, where many seem to trudge through life. Of course, not everyone here is the same, but the difference is striking.
same brother, here in toronto area, everyone is angry but they have everything material known to mankind. You ask them, and they'll tell you toronto is the worst city on earth and as you said, i grew up in these types of areas and everyone was happy. It's almost like capitalism doesn't = human happiness.. hmmm
One of the best episodes yet.
Thank u B&B for helping that school.
That was nice of your friend helping to build a school that's awesome God bless you both stay safe on your travels
You’ve retraced the exact path I took 16 years ago. This brings back such fond memories. I am so happy to see the Ugandan citizens are still just as welcoming and friendly to Mzungus. Cheers!
Hands down one of your best adventures too date, The islands natives loved Ben so much they did a dance for him😂
I once travelled Uganda in my youth and I still think it’s one of the most beautiful countries I have ever seen in my life and I’ve had the opportunity to visit all over the world. I would really love to go back one day.
beautiful cmon bro be real
Which parts were the most beautiful?
@@salveregaIo beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. I doubt you’ve been there by the hate in your comment
@@greatwhiteswag there are beautiful mountainous areas of the country, gorgeous tea fields which look like a more beautiful version of the windows XP desktop background and vast plains with incredible wildlife. The people there are incredibly friendly too.
The deleted scene at the end was amazing. The cake-faced lady just going: "Surrrpriiiiiise!" fucking A+ timing running into that one.
GOOD JOB GUYS. THOSE NEW CLASSROOMS look awesome! Love for Uganda from USA.
Great to see these guys in my homeland. Been following their RUclips videos in UK , Europe & Asia as Whole.
Such warm-hearted people in Uganda, amazing!
Wow, this video totally changed my perspective on Uganda! 🇺🇬 I'm honestly embarrassed about my previous assumptions. These people are so incredibly kind and welcoming, despite facing tough conditions.
Awesome job from Backpacker Ben with the school building and B&B promoting to build new classrooms
Mzungu in the context of Ugandans especially in Bantu ethnic communities of East Africa or parts of Southern Africa means Wonderer as some have mentioned. However, it is not meant to be racist but a term for foreigners with lighter skin. It was adopted especially when Europeans arrived at the coast of East Africa and fearing the locals, they would try to get their way into the interior without proper guides. They would walk in circles and find themselves back to the point where they started their journey having lost track. Another belief is that because of the language barrier the European explorers or Missionaries couldn't communicate their intentions of visiting native communities and the natives decided to call them wonderers aka Mzungu (singular) or Bazungu (Plural) as people who are just wondering around without a proper plan. For centuries the MZUNGU term has been adopted for a foreigner with lighter skin colour than the locals are used to.
It's not a racist term, since English is even called oluzungu in Luganda!
Yes, a lot of African countries call white people terms by their skin color. Even in Haiti they say, "Blanc" for white. In a lot of western countries it is inappropriate to refer to someone by their skin color. It comes off as racist. But what you wrote makes plenty of sense.
Hey Mr. Bald, I enjoyed this video. And I was thinking of Backpacker Ben and I'm happy you've linked his channel in the description. Any plans for coming to Manipur again? The last time when you were in India (near Manipur) you said the place felt like it was 10 years ago from your place, that was honestly spoken, I like it. Sending you good wishes! 😀
Hands down one of the best RUclips channels out here right now
No not now. Always
Such a nice video. It proves that charisma can go a long way in the world. Lovely people in Uganda
I actually like the spirit of the Ugandan people!
Ill put it on my bucket list of countries I have to visit..
Bald is still the best, there’s no one like him. Tbh I’m surprised a TV network haven’t snapped him up; unless of course they have tried and it’s not Benjamins gig. Fantastic video as always.👊🏻😎
Damn, I didn't want this video to end. Gotta love Ben.
Hahaha Kampala is the capital Entebbe is literally just the airport pretty much! You are in my favorite place in Africa! I love Uganda! Best people on earth ❤
