Welcome! If you're now seeing this video, you're likely new to the channel. Given that the channel is 6 months old and I had very few subscribers at the time of this video, my videos weren't being served up by the algorithm to most of you. Please take the time to go through the channel. I think that you'll enjoy what you find. Be sure to LIKE, SUBSCRIBE AND SHARE the ones that you enjoy with friends and family. Sharing will help promote the channel to other folks interested in ❤Kenya ❤. BTW, the landlord upgraded the internet to the property. Also, I'm definitely aware that this was isolated to my specific area. I've already visited Nairobi so please check out those videos as well. I'm prepping for my final move to Diani. Hope to see many of you very soon. Asante sana 🙏🙏

Nairobi ppl don't relate to Mombasa struggles we are equally shocked 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂

As a Kenyan am laughing all through the video 😂😂😂 This is a beautiful country 🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪

No matter my early internet struggles at this particular location on the coast, ❤Kenya ❤is for me. Things have really settled down and I'm continuing to have a blast. If you enjoy the content, be sure to share your favorite video on this channel with a friend.

loved this 😂 it looks like you are experiencing Kenya to the fullest

When you are told 'But for you my friend...' just know you're paying double the price 😂😂

Welcome to Kenya Debs. Negotiotion aka bargaining is a way of life here. It's a culture. I subscribed when you first came to visit and had a just a few hundred subscribers. You've grown so much so quickly. Your narration is hilarious that one is not put off even by criticism. You tell a story like a true Kenyan. Hope you stay long enough to be able to learn Swahili well enough to have story time in Swahili even if just once. That would be something. Enjoy your stay.

You are funny narrating your experience and cultural shock in my Country Kenya. I had to subscribe. 🤣🤣🤣🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪

Lol. Kenya will level you up. Your skills are upgrading. In a few months you will be in awe of what you can accomplish in life.

Your experiences are 100% true. Not an average Kenyan though but those kind of guys are there. A guy like Barry will make life easy for you, but you have to be carefull

Hi Debs👋- Former resident of Kenya here. I lived there for about 4 years while my dad was posted in Nairobi way back in the day. Your experiences are definitely funny, and I can relate to quite a couple. Though the proposal bit, I never really saw this happen except in Mombasa and most of the time it was joke😅. Though I will say this: I’ve always loved the country for its uniqueness and energy and From cheap commodities to attractions, I just couldn’t get enough of it all! I managed to shortly visit in 2018 and the developments were mad! I had left the Thika Super highway under construction so you wouldn’t believe the surprise on my face when my Uber told me that what we were driving on was the complete product😂 It was simply put amazing. I also stayed in an apartment but we did have backup power and the internet really never let me down but I wouldn’t care less because as you said, with the whole of Kenya’s beauty at my disposal- why waste my time on a screen!!! And finally (and I’ll probably be in the doghouse with my fiancé for this) THE WOMEN! I’m just going to put it out there that Kenyan women are gems- natural beauties with such warm and bubbly personalities, I honestly think God had a special production line just set aside for them!! I always like to say that one day in the future I shall return to raise my family there. For the four years I was there, I still can’t help but somehow feel like someone is talking about my motherland every time they talk about Kenya! Until later rafiki, Nakutakia kila la Heri!👋

Welcome to Kenya Richard. Your homework for today research"character development" and submit the paper before your Nairobi tour. I'm telling you my friend Kenya is an education system all on its own. 😂😂😂 Thank you for the funny story, I enjoyed every second of it.

Just discovered your channel today and I am surely enjoying it. Keep it up and be sure Kenyans will reward you!! We will make this channel blow 😉

Thank you for your work You're helping to change the perspective of Kenya, even though you're an expat. Keep up the good work👍

Wow, so entertaining! looking back over my shoulders afraid 'BARRY' could be watching me as I comment this🤣🤣

I can assure you the cultural difference between the coastal region and Nairobi are enormous. Ooh... internet is reliable! :-)

@Richard Debs i love your content,, welcome to our mother land home,, Kenya i hope you are enjoying the life,, living in Kenya is a Job on it's on,, so welcome to the real hustle

This video cracked me up so hard. ha ha ha ... Loving the Kenyan series. Welcome to Nairobi aka Kanairo.

What an experience! I’m laughing so hard at ‘everyone is a broker’! 🤣🤣🤣🤣

That was fun to listen to,😄😄😄 i ve had a good laugh

Dude, don't buy tokens worth 2k ($20) at a go, you get way less for your coin. Barry sounds like quite the guy 😂😂. I feel like you'll suffer more culture shocks when you come to Nairobi 😂😂

Barry is the Everything Man 😂😂 Welcome to Kenya Debs

I don't know why I am laughing at your experiences 😂Your narration is just hilarious! Karibu Kenya.

Welcome to diani,,am here too so i can relate everything 😂😂

Awwhhh just happened to stumble upon your channel. Great videos. I to moved to Kenya in 2021 but returned back to settle some things in the US and now OMW back but only this time I'm being lead in a different direction, {Ghana}. I miss Kenya so much and I am sad about not returning but I guess it wasn't in my final cards. Enjoy her, she's beautiful!

That LAN cable is long af 😂. Consider getting a place with a direct Safaricom fibre cable to your home. You'll only buy a router, about $30. The monthly subscription will depend on your plan. Power blackouts depend on your location but are still rare in most urban centers. You can always work in a restaurant for a few hours.

I love the Kenyan bracelet in your left hand... That was interesting

😆😆😂the way you lifted the power token 😂,im deawd 😂,earned a new subscriber here

Love this blog!I'm definitely a new sub!

When a Kenyan tells you 1) the price they're giving you is just for you and even sometimes they call it special price just for you 2)Look for a writing material to give you the "secret" price between you two,just know they have tripled the price.If you must buy whatever they're selling make sure you have paid quarter of the price they have given you.

Won me over 🤣🤣🤣 new subscriber 👍👍👍

100 % accurate although as for power outages, it's only a bad week or I am not sure if its a coast issue. We experience about 6 days outtage in a year in Nairobi. Wifi is smooth, just ensure you enquire about the bandwidth. 15 mbps for me ensures HD streaming and zero issues on zoom

I just discovered your channel today. Man I love this content. I'll be done with all of them today🤣Love from Nairobi Kenya

I've Never laughed this hard. 😂 But to be honest, living in kenya is extreme sports even for us kenyans.

All of these reasons are why I miss Kenya 🥺🥺🤣🤣🤣. Kenyans are so welcoming to foreigners and the ambiance is really awesome. But you have to be street-smart in Kenya otherwise you'll leave there without clothes on your back 🤣🤣🤣. Negotiation is the way of life y'all, I got so good at it. And the proposals aren't a joke. I always found it so funny and flattering.

Just discovered this channel...n dude you are a good story teller,what can I say...welcome to Kenya.already subscribed.watching all the videos.

For the power backup, visit a chloride exide dealer, and ask them to sell you the Homaya backup kit. Works so efficiently you will never suffer from power outages ever again.

The 'Barry is going to pop up everywhere' joke had me🤣🤣

I have to share this! I love the humor in it

very interesting listening to this well articulated cultural aspects of us kenyans by someone from outside the culture. Perfectly put.

Eavesdropping aka "Mucene Collection" 🤣 We need enough stories to tell our people when we get back home 🤣. "So there was this Mzungu bergaining for a Maasai Shuka, bro, this one has been here for a while"

The good thing is that you are chill enough to absorb the culture shock in a humorous way. I will show your video to my colleagues in Texas who are terrified of visiting Kenya 🤣🤣🤣🤣. Nairobi is a handful, be prepared.

Oooh Kenya the joy never ends.. Welcome and welcome again

Yo ! Much love from Chattanooga TN. I can listen to you talk about anything. You have a gift of the gab and imagine if you were born in the caveman ages you would be the guy telling stories over a bonfire. You should add these stories on Spotify so I can listen when at work

Loved the hippo! Great video. Karibu Kenya. PS: not all apartments use the token system (prepaid) for payment for electricity. Others get billed via SMS (post paid)

Whue such a storyteller I can’t wait for you to come to Nairobi crazy city looking forward to collaborate if you are open for collaborations

Omg, so funny 😂 I concur...

Man, I love your videos Be prepared for more shockers when you come to Nairobi. Enjoy your stay in Kenya sir😊

Hehehe 😁😁😁 now you will have true Kenyan experience

I love how you do story telling...lol

This is hilarious 😂 , I'm subscribing immediately 🤣

Karibu Kenya 😂😂😂😂 I’m Kenyan watching from South Korea.. you have me so excited to get back, can’t wait.😂 love your content.

Nairobi everything is fast including the internet. Power outages are rare but that specific day, it was a disturbance that affected most of the country. Outages are not frequent but learn to use M-PESA,life will be awesome. Even paying all your bills including the prepaid metre

Barry should start trending on Twitter. Time we out Murife to rest🤣

Awesome vids Rich. I went to Kenya for Vacation. I would love to experience it outside of the vaca vibes.

Active listening....we listen because we are our brothers keepers,incase someone is trying to fraud you or give you wrong info or being threatened or your going through stress and depression we chip in and comfort .many atimes is when you meet someone on the road or bus and chat and boom!your now frienz. Ubuntu! MY brother but it's slowly being discouraged.

But you can agree there's everything in Kenya no matter the struggles. 🤣😂

I've never heard of people giving out brides in Kenya I think it's illegal I'm not sure Edit: it's still eves dropping,and it depends if you are prepared for busy roads which are loud, people constantly asking if you want to enter the bus or vehicle and people minding their business to get to where they are going if they hit you or not but not all the time sometimes it's peaceful

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 oohh my God. I broke out when you lifted the electric gadget up. I couldn't take it anymore🤣🤣🤣🤣

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Barry. This is such a fun way of explaining the cultural shock. Awsome

😂😂😂😂The fifth point lock😂😂😂,I thought this marriage proposals work only to the locals because this has happened to me more than five times and now that you have experienced that!the next question will be when will you get married?These kind of questions annoys me because marriage is mot a gambling game lol.Anyway enjoy your stay in kenya

You are now seeing life with your own two eyes. Here in kenya things are tough but our greatest concern is on whether we are happy. 😂. Now go to Nairobi, then to kisumu and you'll feel like you've been to three different countries!

Hustling is in our blood the kiluma story🤣🤣🤣 the best chilli indeed

Ohhhhh you killed me . thanks for making my night you are very funny as well

I like that part, everyone is a business brokers, hahaha we are Kenyans and Kenya is our business 🤣🤣🤣🤣😛🤪🙈

Be careful in Nairobi... It's different from the Coast. It's an urban city don't find yourself in isolated places.

😂😂😂😂...on point 🎯....😂😂😂this was funny& true to the core!!... 😂😂😂..Barry the waiter aka the new friend...stalker😂😂😂😂...this was hilarious. I can see your puzzled look with'Are you kidding me?'...😂😂😂😂...

Have your best at diani, my country 🇰🇪🇰🇪 miss diani coming soon n yet ul get everything in these world Kenya love it, nothing you can miss in Kenya

Nairobi is a good place to be but you gotta watch out for some parts of Nairobi. It can get pretty hectic not to mention brutal

New Subscriber here....Kenyan living in Kenya. I've laughed all the way through🤣🤣I usually start negotiations at half the mentioned amount. It always works!

Listening to your struggles, I would say those are coastal region struggles. People there are more chill. In Nairobi, you get professionals who don't just work for money but have passion.

Hehehe, yours was a bit unfortunate. 1. I think for the internet it was unfortunate. You only got a poor provider. Safaricom, Kenyan's biggest internet provider often provides reliable, speedy connections especially if you are in remote areas. But there are also other services. 2. For the power, I also work at home but in Nairobi and I rarely us experience power outage. 3. I started using the Pre-paid electricity this year and I think it is good, you can recharge the amount you think you may use for a a day, a week, or a month. You only need to know how to buy what we call electricity tokens through Mpesa, and there are lots of instructions online how to go about that. 4. Yeah, you have to bargain alot. Especially if you are not a local, you have to pay what we call a tourist tax. But even if you are a local, sometimes you may settle for the price of something or a service at a higher cost if you don't know how to bargain. Of course, there are honest people who will not take advantage. 5. About that thing about offering a woman, it is a strange one. Methinks, maybe the lady might have been an escort. Keep on enjoying!

Welcome to our beautiful country, but beware of business brokers. Some are actually conmen

@Richard.. Karibu Kenya Hakuna Matata 😊👍👌

😂😂😂😂 Kenya for you, welcome aboard. In Kenya even giving directions, saying hii we need tip 😂😂

Our Kenyans for you, can be soo upsetting at times, you just got to know how to deal with it without ruining your mood.

The marriage proposal guy was just joking. What he wanted was for you to join him and the girls or for you to call one of the girls over. So she could have fun with you and your money. Lol. People don't say such things to men who don't look like they have money. So it's not a culture thing. It's a hustle thing. It's all about the Benjamins. 💰 💵

@RichardDebs You are really funny. I had a blast watching this episode. Definitely made me subscribe. Kenya will always surprise you. Oh and welcome to Nairobi. Here, the internet is way much better.😉

Your humour is unmatched trully loving it here
