Many of you told me to buy a new bike. Can I buy a bike as a visitor? Give me the name of place where I can buy a bike in Mombasa or in Diani. I've only seen expensive rental places but I need one for 3 months.

I feel you Richard, especially with the token meters, it’s a learning curve 😂 If you have the possibility to thrive, why not choose what you want to prioritise.

Richie you need to write a book now😂😂

😂😂😂😂😂 wow don't even ever think of leaving Kenya 🇰🇪 we love to see you here doing vlogs

To avoid blackouts just keep checking how many units left and top up before they get depleted.

We appreciate you Mr. Debs for bringing people like me across the pond in England, what a different to western hemisphere. Much love Brother.

I love this guy. I'm also a digital entrepreneur and nothing sucks when working on a project and all of a sudden the lights go off.

Ngl Richard you had me in the cover picture 😂

The rusty fan and the broken pedal had me 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Who told you not to load more than 1000 in tokens? 😂😂 You can load any amount you want, usually when it's almost running out it beeps to alert you so that you can top up. Love your content 😊

Haha love the videos! I feel you on the token meter haha. I couldn’t do without the AC there either.

indeed you are Great story teller Asante sana

4:14 Sheldon, you're in my spot 😂😂😂

I'm always here for the story time, big up.

"I'm a KZfaq star" 😂 okay ..

The electricity part was fun 😂😂😂😂

😂😂😂😂😂 love your stories

Richard, I appreciate how you have sought insight into a place to live in Nairobi, etc, and encourage you to do the same with other issues that arise (like your experience with Kenya Power’s meter and renting the motorbike). You’ll find that there is a community of foreigners here who have tackled the obstacles related to differences between North American living and living in Kenya and can advise you. For example, with the token meter, a local knows from experience that you have to keep it plugged in to monitor your usage so you don’t run out of tokens but may not know that YOU don’t know that so won’t say anything about it. If you seek out the experiential wisdom gained by a foreigner however, they can share strategies to adapt to the lifestyle here that have a basis in understanding of what is normal to North Americans and how it’s different here. I’ve been living in Kenya (with trips home for immigration purposes like you describe) since 2016 and have gained a lot of understanding about society here that is different than my life in Canada. For example, the motorbike provider asking for you to cover their transport to come to you. That’s normal here. Even within a family, members may request assistance for transport to come and visit. Especially if there is a mzungu that is inviting them. And despite the time that I’ve been here there are many mzungus who have been here even longer and have more knowledge. Seek them out to learn from them as you seek out locals to learn from. It will expand your overall understanding. Kind regards.

Oh poor you, I fill the pain Richard when I write the heading I thought you were moving out of Kenya. I wish I could help especially with the means of transport

Best thumbnail since youtube!

my boy u having too much fun...... kenyan in Texas.... we been getting baked here am talking 109 111.... so I made it my mission to brag how cool nairobi is.

😂😂😂😂 looking like a microwave had me😂😂 I never thought I'll view this video to the end 😂😂😂 More love tho🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪

You can actually buy land and build your own house. And the issue of power you can actually install solar power system that you can use at some time

Hahahah! The joys of expat living! I'm now in Tanga, on the Tanzanian coast, loving this alot more than further inland, especially now as it's freezing cold up there! There's a yacht club here too to get some mzungu time! I too am looking for another place to live, paying $212 right now, view of ocean, but other issues. Of course. :P BTW, I have FOUR dogs, from 4-40 kilos, fortunately they are trained not to chase chickens. Alas, my ears are always on the alert for bodas, one loves to chase them...

The chicken 😂 You better start realising that very soon your polka dot birdy will be stew, start letting go!

funniest 12 minutes of my life from someone who doesn't do stand up🤣🤣

I like how the cheeks are feeling up just nice.means you are settling in alright!

You can pay more than 1k at a time for tokens. Im from the US and live in Mombasa and buy 2500 usually at a time. It lasts me 2-3 months

😂 story time is always a vibe ! I say light up that bike Honestly not sure I could survive without the conveniences of Nairobi …the coast is great but for short stays

Nice content from the motorbike experience you can also get an electric motorbike from nairobi you just pay a deposit and the rest later its called stima boda

The swimming spot😅😅😅

Hehe I feel you on the roosters 🐓 it irks the hell out of me..!!!

I saw you on your technicolored coat and immediately thought I must work on the health of my ribs.😅😅

I did not know what was a token meter 😅 learned that from you...I guess i got spoiled early lets keep moving...

😂😂😂😂😂 pole sana! Hopefully you found a better spot that meets all your requirements

Karibu Kenya. Very funny motorcycle story🤣

Good story telling, crazy I have seen you on a bike but I wish i witnessed this.... You take a day or rather few hours to learn how to ride a bike? Damn! That's impressive

Make sure the token meter is connected to the socket always and its on , it will always alert you when your units are about to deplete

That bick has endless comedy of errors 😂😂😂

By a brand new motor bike in mombasa on daily or weekly instalments it's more convenient

Your story telling is hilarious 😂, l would keep the bike just for entertainment, to see how else it can fail 😂, but seriously, get your own bike at this rate you’ve earned it.

Welcome 🎉🎉 Feel Home Boy 🎉

Tip. That token meter should be left plagged because it's designed to warn you via an alarm for 1-2 days before the units hit zero.

Hello Richard,I feel for your troubles with the bike.however it's best I let you know that you can get better options with a rent to own new ,yes new bike at a relatively affordable rates and better deal than what got there and get a trouble free bike.

I have seen you a number of times at Diani, lastly saw at Carrefour a while back.

Oooh my goodness 😅😅😅. That motorcycle has lots of issues. On behalf of Kenya sane bikers association,I have sent out a search party to look for the bike owner and have him answer in full why he should subject the machine to such abuse. He is expected to appear in person at a disciplinary committee and plead his case. Meanwhile accept our sincere apologies for the troubles 😅😅. Signed on behalf of the chair KSBA

Welcome to kisumu sorry for your predicament

❤ your channel

😂😂😂who sent that bike

You’re too funny!!

Richard has stopped dishing out money while still being generous at the same time... Kenya is affecting him... 😅🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣.... wow! I wonder where his bargaining skills have reached? can he strike a deal with the police without overpaying?🤣but he will be KENYAN when he finds out how to pay ksh 100 for electricity for a whole month without skipping hot showers or switching the lights off

Light it up 🤣

Light it on fireee🔥🔥

Love your video! What camera are you using?

We were ready for an hour of your stories! Ask for your money back let him deal with the bike the best way he only knows!!!😅

omg u made me laugh so hard. what an experience.hope u dont leave kenya for good

DON'T NEED TO PURCHASE MORE POWER.... JUST LEAVE THE TOKEN METER PLUGGED INTO A POWER SOURCE AND IT REMINDS YOU WHEN THERE IS LESS THAN $1 REMAINING, (5HOURS OR SO) IT WILL REPEAT IT SELF SEVERAL TIMES UNTIL IT RUNS OUT...

Eheheheh . sisi ni wakenya. Tuko na tabia yetu tuuuu ....

instead of renting a motorbike buy they are cheap and u can get on installment for brand new one.

Just wondering, are your folks Arabs from the Kenyan coast?

Hahahahahaha you will be fit for the exercises

I am laughing at your experience with the bike

3:41 I don't like that one which you plug in, I prefer the inbuilt one because if the tokens run out you have to look for the "power source" it beats the logic🤷‍♂

So you are coming back to the States in October for the winter? You aren't giving up on Mombasa, are you?

replacement chickens..🤣🤣🤣

😂😅😅 have fun

3:21 Thats when you have almost ironed half of your shirt then oh snap the tokens run out😂

Token Meters are cheaper... you should reconsider. As a Kenyan I strongly champion for the token meter

If I were you, I would buy a small Toyota from Japan and cut your losses. Good cars that last forever and are easy to sell if you want to

😂 strong

Haha. For a moment I was like, "hahahaha, knew it. This hommie couldn't stand a chance in the 254" 😅😅😅

Pikipiki chronicles 😅😅.

Ah if you left... I'd be stressed for sure .

Well sorry about that. It was a bit weird the owner didn't tell you about the problems. Sometimes Kenya like to fix something that is already broken.

It's called culture shock

😂😂😂

😅😅so kenyan...

look for me i connect you to get your own compound here in rongai

Kenya is the gradle of mankind.

😂😂Am sorry for our Kenyan inconveniences

Where are Kenyans here to hear Mzungu.

😂😂😂😂 very funny

Richard, look for another means of transport. Say bye to that bike

😂❤

Debs my guy... Thinking about it. You should have bought your own bike when you arrived. It would have cost you just about 500 dollars... 🤔🤔. Anyways, we'd not have had this hilarious story if you did

I came for story time

Light it on fire.

Pole for your experience. Love that you take it as a learning experience. It must be real character development for Cuse as well. I go with the group that recommends that you torch the bike 😂 or advise the owner to sell it as scrap. It's a harzard and should never be on any street.

Hey Sir...do you have any connections to remote jobs? Please 🥺

Boss!! you don't scare me like that.. How now? when i have just adopted you as my "uncle" then i think you are leaving Kenya? i was ready to come grovelling and pleading with you with pumpkins and watermelon as tokens of apology for whatever nutcase rubbed you wrong..😆😅

Tunaenda sasa kwa baridi... itakuramba mzee. I think u know kiswahili now😅

hehe

😂😂.. you should get a new bike

RENT A NEW BIKE. NEW!! NEEEEEW!!!

Give me the bike , please

Just buy a bike😂....all those instalments will amount to a new one.....

hahahaaa

Sorry for the Bike experience....it's kind of hilarious, 😂😂🤔🤭 just do away with it

Sell it as scrap metal

😂😂😂😂😂😂
