First Impressions of RWANDA 🇷🇼 Surprised on our first day in Kigali 😮

Want to encourage this channel directly? www.buymeacoffee.com/backpack... (thank you! 😊)
In this Rwanda travel vlog, we explored the amazing capital city of Kigali. We visited many iconic places like the Genocide Memorial, the Milles Collines hotel which was featured in the movie Hotel Rwanda (2004) and also walked around the busy city centre. We got ourselves an Airtel sim card, went to the Kigali city market and Imbuga City Walk which is a car free zone. We also visited the amazing Biryogo Food Street where it felt a lot like South East Asia.

    @@TheBackpacksters On the contrary, I didn't think the video was demeaning at all and have enjoyed your content since I discovered your channel whilst you were in Uganda.

    I see! Our only intention was to lay out in front the stereotypes that one (who hasn't been to or seen Africa) would normally associate with Africa (based on what is typically paraded in media, such as "looks like Europe") and how each country (whether Uganda or Rwanda) is nothing short of amazing in their own special ways! 😅 It is just a matter of finding the words that the unfamiliar would first relate to, so that we can show them how far from that, the reality is! 😊

    Feels architecturally European with big buildings and shiny glass walls. Like we saw in Georgia, etc. In our previous vlogs.. Again, this is not a meant as a negative comparison with the Europeans who colonised Rwanda, but more with the kind of progress in modern construction. To highlight how, despite being subject to colonial pains (like our country), you have achieved great progress. We appreciate you trying to understand that we mean good. Some other people have left some very negative comments based on a shallow thought process 😅 we like how proud Rwandans are of their identity. And we really appreciate that most people here are genuinely interested in knowing what we meant! Thank you guys! 😊

    @@TheBackpacksters to clarify, Indians do not help Africa with business. Instead, it is Africa that has a friendly and inclusive environment that allows Indian immigrants to engage in business and thrive. They come to hustle and are accepted. On the contrary, Indians, like many others, can exhibit racist behavior. Black immigrants are often targeted, and anti-black/African stereotypes are common in India and among Indians.
