Hey Kitt, I am Marion a public health specialist.
About the poop, its because of the climate. Equatorial climate is tropical and organic foods go bad faster. Hence the smells in European or northern parts of the world are less or not so strong. Also, the sun makes the foods tastier. 😉
For the expiry date, did you know that the indicated expiry date on foods and medicines is a sell by date and not the actual expiry date of the product? Except for fresh milk and vegetables, other processed foods are still edible for 6 months after the expiry date and the medicines for 3 months after the indicated expiry date. That is why most supermarkets have a disposal shelf where you can get the same foods at a very cheap price, because they have already reached their expiry date and if the public health guys find them on the usual food shelves, the supermarket will be closed down and pay fines in court.
Wow, thanks for this insight
wow, makes alot of sense
About the poop,it's smell is directly related to what you eat,if you eat organically grown food it smells more,non organic food smell less.
yes, I thought so. Their food is mostly non organic
Ushawahi notice,when you eat food in shaggz it smells pia more than when you eat food in the city?
About the going to the supermarket,I think in Kenya we do pop in the kiosk so often,but it depends on ones economic status.kadogo economy people go to the shops more often.
I could listen to Esme talk for hours ❤ interesting vid Kama kawa
Esme is very smart and witty. Loved the video 😊
Uweeehhhh! This is interesting. I cannot wait to experience these when I travel. That petrol one, wasijaribu Kenya aki wuehh! Pure dust...
Hi love the collabo from you guys.
On drinking tap water in Nairobi I relocated to Embu and I tell you tap water is so normal. The water is clean and so fresh , buying water is a thing of the past....
Another new thing in the UK is the self checkout in the supermarkets,where you scan your own items,pay for them,pack your shopping and go. In stores like Tesco these are even more in number than kawaida tills where there's an attendant to scan for you.
They have that in Nairobi too now, at the Carrefour at Westgate Mall; However, there's a few attendants on standby to help us Kenyans get used to this new culture 😅, he came in handy when I accidentally put in an item twice yet it was only meant to be once. Loving this exposure and openness we're having as Kenyans to embrace development.
I think the reason they are more likely to pop in to the supermarket is cause we (Kenyans) have the option of kiosks in our neighborhoods.
So same but different. 😅
Hey Kitt, awesome episode. About the coffee, I was a Head Barista at a coffee shop majuu and the reason for the temp is that coffee in general retains its flavour at 60deg. Beyond that, it can be considered burnt. Because they are so particular about their coffee (they don’t grow it so they care more for it, they are quite strict about these rules). Having said that, I always made my coffees a little hotter and boy did they love me for it! So now that I came back home I find the coffee way too hot. 😂
Thank you for this information Kitt, it will really come in handy for people who will get to experience all you've talked about, lessens the culture shock to some degree. Thanks Esme, for still being accessible to us despite your relocation. I follow you and love your content - both of you!
Karibuni Australia. My siz and I once had a full beach to ourselves 😊
The first time you experience the "tight" smile that is not really a smile it throws you off because you do not know of you are expected to smile back...wave?
On the smells, I think the air is generally drier and more sterile? I recall passing by someone mowing their lawn and I could not smell the grass.
Couldn't sleep the cut grass? Ah 😮
The thing about not being able to pick up smells from food that has gone bad in the fridge is so truue!! The first time i tried the 'smell test',the food almost went up my nostrils coz i was really trying to get even a waft of bad smell lakini wapi!🤣 Normally i am known to have good smell even by my family so that was very confusing and worrying thinking i have lost sense of smell or something.🤣
I was shocked here in Switzerland, there was a shop with no attendant. You get in weigh your groceries pay and leave. And in the train you travel several times with no one checking if you’ve got a ticket. But ofcourse the fines will be so heavy if you are caught without a ticket. So you must just buy because you don’t know when it will be checked. Can’t happen in Kenya 😅
Shop with no attendant sounds so crazy 😅
@@KittKiarieChannel - in the 🇺🇸, the have new Amazon stores that literally monitor every single thing you do in the premises. No cash, just debit/credit card allowed. Unfortunately the AI is infiltrating us w/out your permission.
Honestly I don’t mind the smile at all 😂😂😂. I would rather have the smile than a bad look 😊
If the rotten food on the counter has no smell, then poop will have no smell. The food isn't organic enough to have a natural smell
We should adopt the trolley thing 🙌 the number of times I have found a trolley left behind my car or one parked in an empty parking space
i agree.It's a clever way of getting people to be orderly with trolleys. A number of Airports are adopting that too.
That’s true about the supermarket I always do that I just realised when you mentioned 🤔
Now i understand why the Yts love it in Africa. We are such easy going humans despite our lack of discipline 😁😁
I live in London and I have never booked to go to a beach, regarding parking there other choice to travel for instance trains, and bus. When I go to the café say to buy coffee I ask for my coffee to be made extra hot.😊😊
Yes .... that smile
Interesting.
Aki I'm one of those "Smile" people 😅
An improvement from my kawaida RBF. Or a slight nod for people I'm more familiar with
This was really short....i need more😢
Most Europeans shop daily for fresh food and the birthday party thing is because parents have paid for the venue which is reserved for a particular amount of time.
As a coffee professional, coffee temperature being lower than expected is coz when you go past a certain temperature, the coffee loses its flavour attributes
I have a thought (not fact): perhaps that thing of stuff not having a smell despite going bad or poop ... might be because lots of stuff is GMO? Or its cold because stuff doesn't smell as much during cold weather
In the US only upscale popular restaurants need reservation. Most chain restaurants don’t take reservations on certain busy days so first come, first served.
The shop/supermarket thing I agree
Ah! The shop thing it happens with my fam... Mostly for milk, bread or fruits
We have never booked for the beach in the UK, we just pay for parking and no time limit.
About the trolley, It should be introduced in kenya..
I guess it's because in Kenya we have shops near where we live so trips to the supermarket are more planned than random.
In some stores in the US you even check your stuff- unajilipisha, then pack your own stuff at the store lol. So weird. And then using single-use plastic bags.... It felt so illegal.
😂the supermarket thing .... I can leave my house even a whole day without going to shop...
Uv bought even the hanger🤣
I have never hosted a kids party and included their parents ever......sounds crazy but i let the kids choose who they want to invite and we have activities for the entire time. So parents just drop and pick at a certain time and it works ❤
i miss kanjo water in nairobi. the issue is not the plant its the bad poor sewer system. but if you drink water like at the thika plant its glorious
The no smile thing is a Nairobi thing, I had to adjust living in msa where random people smile at you and greet you and you can't pretend you didn't notice
In Nairobi if someone smiles at you, it's usually a man trying to flirt with you.
Just thinking maybe the weather has an influence on the poop smelling and the food going bad 😂 because food goes bad quicker in hot weather.
Yaani hio ni birthday gani jamani 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I agree on the two water thing, but Scotland water is so much better than that in England.
Also, I hadn’t noticed about smile thing, I just do it unconsciously 😂lol
Booking is also heavy on big cities, but in smaller ones you don’t need to book in. I’m in Scotland and it’s possible to get places without booking
The potluck one is usually for food poising sometimes.
Yes birthday parties are so true !
The zebra crossing one is because it’s on the Highway Code so you have to stop ot get prosecuted
The hot coffee thing … It’s for health and safety reasons
I used to feel like crying at the fuel station 😅
We do the smile in USA and I find myself doing it in Kenya and people looking at me strangly I need to stop
Drinking water from the tap .... traumatized me ...
A Florida woman successfully sued Starbucks coz the coffee was too hot in 2014.
She was awarded $100,000.
That suit said a faulty lid caused the coffee to spill on her, causing first and second-degree burns.
And the water in Oregon and Seattle tastes like Kenyan water.
Woolworths used to pack the hangers 😂
Did they? That's so interesting
I was surprised that in kffisia, Athens, Greece, you don't flush tp. You put it the bin provided 😮. 1996.
Some toilets in UAE as well
Oh yes. Because the plumbing was never made for paper. A lot of people around the world wash not wipe
In Greece you dont flush used toilet paper , you put it in the bin. It takes a while to get used to it
Yup noticed the same about 💩 😅
It's almost like the 🇺🇸 😊
Esme is spot on about the kids parties. They start on time and they are strictly for kids - parents drop them off and pick them up on time otherwise you’ll get nasty stares from the parents 😂
That drinking tap water, come to Germany and see students filling their water bottle in the toilet 😳😳 its clean but I will never drink tap water 😝 bottle water for me please!
This is sooo me...I've been living in Germany for the last 5 years and I refill my water bottle from the taps every where including the washrooms🤣🤣🤣. It's because tap water is very safe to drink here.
I was so shocked when I saw my classmates doing this for the first time. Now I do it on a daily basis. I bought water for a few weeks when I got here, but I embraced the tap water, because i like warm or hot water, so I fetch in the tap.
Culture shock in Lebanon you can not be pregnant before you get married and if you do get pregnant that child will not be given a birth certificate
What is thiiiiisssss??? 😅
But they are still a child regardless of parents' martial status, surely
Lebanon is those weird countries I don't even consider..So what do they expect the child to do after they're denied a birth certificate?
There is such a thing as being too orderly! The UK felt like life is soo robotic for me, when I visited there. I didn't think I would appreciate our Kenyan chaos like i did then. Chaos is another word for spontaneity 😊
🤣🤣
To some extent the chaos is convenient and to some extent, it's not at all.
African Pooh smell Juu watu hukura kila kitu be it mutura kwa street. Lunch kwa vibanda. Maharangwe and chapo kwa and dinner sukuma na Ugali that shit will smell obviously 😃😃😃
😂😂 🇬🇧🇰🇪
The smile is a white people thing in the states! It’s their awkward way of not knowing whether to look away or stare.
The kids party thing was odd but I get it. If you have party somewhere it’s like a wedding because you pay per child and it can be a lot to pay extra for the parents. A party for 10 kids can be around $400 to use the facility and food. Imagine paying for the parents
I mean we do pay for parents in Kenya, soooo 🤷🏽♀️😅
Yesss the smile is unnecessary and weird. I don’t like it.
It's very enlightening for some of us who haven't travelled to the UK. Such a culture shock, and that smile vibe is so weird but a pleasant way to spread positive vibes.
