3 days visa for 40US is quite pricey, admired your fearless travel through unknown places. just show bit more dignified travelling, decent hotels, decent restaurants etc, remember we are with you, one question. those backpacks pls share their details and where to purchase them. thanks

We always show decent places. In this case we were staying with our Burundian friend at his home - and out of respect for his privacy, we chose not to show his home! Not sure what more is meant by dignified travelling - think we are pretty decent. Sometimes, its quite hard to find more 'fancy' stays / restaurants in some places - surely thats understandable 😅 We use 40L Decathlon Travel 100 backpacks.
Really enjoyed seeing Burundi. Unfortunate about the fuel situation. Why is it happening?

@sanjai. The country doesn't have much to export, so there are no foreign currency to pay for the import of petroleum products.
@TheBackpacksters

Thanks for watching Sanjai uncle! As @stan commented, there aren't enough foreign currency reserves to import oil which is priced in USD. Hence the abnormally high variance between the official and black market rate for USD in the country!

Murakoze Lameck! We would love to visit the beautiful hotels and resorts if it were to fit in our humble travel budget. But we like to experience the real city and normal neighborhoods like the Bujumbura city centre and busy places with strong local culture like Bwiza more - those are beautiful to us!

@@TheBackpacksters you know why this days we don't like people come to visit our country especially wh. ite pe ople some comes look for views and start saying Burundi is poorest contry inthe world bla bla while those people they are poor more than us others they come without money to go to nice places and start bla bla that's why you see burundians that are not interested in you anymore

No problem if they don't want to watch us - we have only said nice things about the country! We are not like others who come for views - we came to see the country for what it really is! And if statistics say that Burundi is poor, we tried to understand why that is said. If you feel embarrassed by what places we visited in the city, then maybe you should ask why you feel so?

Hope you are going to enjoy the country. People over there are friendly and welcoming. Just try to fight the itchiness of falling an easy prey to some regional rivalities and politics. Try to be as neutral as you can in your reporting and in your conversations, do not be in the trap of promoting some naratives that do have different factors to them, be it regionally or internationally. For sure you entered the coutry with some pre-told, or google searched narrative. Just take the situation between India, Pakistan and China as an exemple or north and south India... how would an international reporter behave in Kashmir or Aksai Chin, who is the best in cricket and so on .... I love your channel and I like the uniqueness and ingredients you put in it. If there was a way to subscribe 10 times I would. Cheers!

@asoulwindow, Probably if the video was in Burundi or french, we would hear many viewpoints from Burundians but in short, it is known that there is a rivalty in the region and at its highest now. Very unlikely to see any positive comments since very few Burundians if any will see the video in english ... Take situation between India and Pakistan. Which advice would you give to someone, a foreigner about to visit Pakistan and which one would a Pakistani give ..... I hope you get the pattern.
