The first ever pimped matatu was called Concord on the westlands route way back in 1983. It was a Nissan and Nairobi has never looked back...Yes I'm that old. Not many of you are old enough to correct me.😌
🤣🤣 Jasper, wazee hukumbuka! It was the strangest thing to see on the road the first time you saw it on the way to Kangemi. From there the matatu industry was never the same.
greed for money by landlords, they try to minimize the cost by escaping the finishing up expenses. Developers build high apartments to recover the cost they bought the land. Plots outside Nairobi are even very expensive. A 50 by 100 feet plot could go up to Kshs 5 million (UShs 150 million) so building apartments with many floors helps to recover the costs.
Being an Interior designer and someone in architecture world, I love it when people cant really tell the pattern of thoughts in my designs. For example, The way CBK Pension Towers was finished at the top, You may think its unfinished but its complete as per the design and functioning. Also I find it fun when a building looks somehow average but when you get inside you are surprised how marvelous it looks. Thanks for your wonderful review on your experience in Kenya.
Harriet come back again. We love you. Next time visit Kisumu, Nakuru, Eldoret, Nanyuki, Kakamega, Kisii, Naivasha, Meru ..... and the list is endless. You're very welcome again. Bring me a cute Ugandan lady, please 😢
M-Pesa was born in Kenya and introduced to Tanzania. We also have LIPA KWA M-Pesa (pay by M-Pesa) in most shops, bars, restaurants, etc. It is an innovative service that has been handy even in rural communities.
We love u harriet. Welcome back to kenya again n in Nakuru exactly to experience lake Nakuru n flamingo's, menengai hills n crater's plus it's generous residents n ur Ugandans
@@harrietanabo97if you come again go to garissa the big market in africa all animal the kenya is from like cows sheep and gaot and camel the next time eat camel meat and milk camel
As soon as you got to the point about Kenyan men loving Ugandan women I knew what it was about...😅 It's mostly about the nyash. But aside from that, speaking from personal experience the Ugandan ladies I've met over the years especially in Uni were friendly & very easy going. Karibu Kenya tena, Harriet.
@@lewiswasonga9537 Lazima tuseme ukweli. Sidhani kuna any UG girl I've met that's lacking in that department. Niko sure kunao but wale nimeona are the ones that count 😅
Uganda can provide food for all of us but Hawafanyi kazi sana, the place rain like almost daily, there is plenty food for everyone, Kenya is generally semi arid so our food basket aint so big nowonder people are so fast trying to gather everything available, unlike uganda who must eat even if they dont work coz food is always available, so come again en getta used.
Harriet, the shopping bags are deliberately for buying to encourage recycling. It will be expensive to any shopper who keeps on buying shopping bags each and every time, such that the next visit you go with your own bag, buy or carry your stuff without the bag.
The reason the packaging bag are sold in Kenya is to encourage reusing them, they are expensive and if they are given for free people will be throwing them away thus increasing the cost for business owners. So we encourage people to buy their own bags in order to reuse them again and again. It was a government initiative to minimize environmental pollution and littering.
Uganda has great potential. Stay the course, be patient and strive for unity of purpose. Meanwhile, we still have a long way to go as Kenyans. I sincerely appreciate your honest review.
About food especially when we are eating out we prefer dry food esp when you are not sure of the hygienic standards. But home cooked meals will have soup or a sauce at least.
As for paperbags, in the earlier years we used to use plastic bags and they were free even at supermarkets. The plastic bags started becoming environmentally unfriendly thus were phased out. Now we have the eco-friendly bags which we buy and are reusable multiple times
Sad to see you back home. Anyway, East or West Home is always best. Welcome to Kenya again and again. This is your second home. Hope to meet you on your next visit . We can do a de tour around other cities in kenya. Karibu Konza technopolis City.
Thank you for the positive reviews about Kenya...Mpesa is everywhere! I hardly carry any cash..I can eat, buy anything with Mpesa..no cash. There's also airtel money, similar to Mpesa Matatus(nganyas)... the music is loud but amazing, sometimes you go past your destination 😂 If you want to really see how people move really fast, wake up early in the morning and travel to town!! You'll be shocked The guy who approached you while filming around the Parliament building is probably a security personnel checking on you, I once travelled across Uganda while travelling to Rwanda, Uganda has a lot of food. Ugandans like wet food, we Kenyans mostly like dry foods...am laughing about githeri😂😂😂😂 The polythene bags were prohibited.... We love Ugandans, they're respectful!! Kenyan ladies can never kneel down😂 Ego cannot allow that. Internet is cheap, you can even pay 10/= for 1GB UA-camr for 3hrs Thank you for the comprehensive review..
About matatu culture started way back in 1980's if iam not wrong. And the idea was/ is to bring comfort and same environment you experience at your house. When you visit a kenyan house something you will notice is well piped music coming out. Next is wifi in almost all the Kenyans houses. Those matatus with music and are super pimped are called Nganyas 👌
In Kenya we don't like soft things including food, we love it just like that and that's why we learn things in ahard way in order to make it soft.in Kenya no soft things you need to work your ass so as to make your future life soft.much love my dea from here your second home 🇰🇪🇰🇪
When it comes to food, each of the 42 tribes in Kenya have their traditional foods which you will not just find anywhere in the urban centres. Again, not everyone enjoys food with soup and those who prefer having their meals with soup, will request for it if the food is served without soup. I've also seen establishments where they always give soup separately in a bowl to accompany the main dish. I would also like to know the different varieties of foods they've in Uganda for me to understand this hype about Ugandan food...on a lighter note though.
We have momo pay, which is similar to mpesa to buy goods and services, you may just not be informed about it Only that it's not yet widely used compared to Kenya maybe, that's the difference
About manners, if you visit the villages, it is different from the city, especially Nairobi. I am from Western Kenya, and we greet our elders with one hand over the other and curtesy a little. You can not just give them a hand standing up straight. That's how i was raised to do. We are close to Uganda and our cultures are almost the same i guess.
We co.pare our culture and diversity with western culture more so the US state our level is beyond any african country that why NAIROBI being the CAPITOL of the african continent is MOST respected worldwide😊😊😊# Prouldy kenyan🇰🇪
Harriet the guy in suit who came to you is one of the security personnel at Parliament...he was just making sure he was aware of what you were doing with a camera around a protected area.
I wonder why people say that Kenya does not have varieties of food. Did you visit other places apart from the Coast and Nairobi? Did you visit the rural areas? I am also a youtuber. If you want me to show you around and prove to you that we have more food than Uganda, kindly look for me the next time you visit Kenya. Nitakutembeza na nikuonyeshe mengi hadi ushikwe na mshtuko. You only know of Nairobi and the Coast. That is why someone lied to you that Kenya has limited varieties of food.
Thanks for visiting Nairobi. It is a fast city. Next time go to Mombasa. Their pace should be like Kampala ❤🇰🇪

Is it true , the Ugandan tyrant was based in Kenya when he was a rebel?

You can buy a canvas bag at the store and use that for all your shopping. Or get bags or baskets for your daily shopping.
Sincere and the way she put it is exactly how it is. I am a Keyan living in Germany but could not put it better though I come to Kenya twice a year

Sounds great!

It feels so good how you talk about Kenya and Kenyans. On buildings, it's a style that Kenyans love.

I am a Kenyan man married to a Zambian woman. Zambian and Uganda women have so much in common
Have never been to Zambia but they way they speak they speak like Ugandans

I know of clubs in Kenya that do not take cash. Nice content Harriet, and please help Jules Tina increase her viewership.

Thanks to that @UgConnect video about Kenya. I have decided to supporta sister. Hook a brother with some Ugandan sister.
Uganda has great potential. Stay the course, be patient and strive for unity of purpose. Meanwhile, we still have a long way to go as Kenyans. I sincerely appreciate your honest review.
I didn't know my country kenya is such great
Watching and happy to be there with you

Hello beautiful Harriet I'm here trying to catch up on your videos my family 🎉🎉
Welcome again n again.
The place looks beautiful
Like how you say "Yoooh"
There is Latema at Thika road. It so loud

Ugandans are like a tribe in Kenya called kikuyus, they also love soup... But most kenyans eats dry food
Nairobi is half london that one you can attest Hary

Kenya is addictive, a certain white man once said he had visited Kenya for six hundred times (600) times. You just feel to visit Kenya now and then.
Food... that's true
The matatu culture video was lit big up yourself for the great experiences in Kenya 💪🔥💯 more blessings upon you 🙏
Thank you 🙌
There is time wode Maya was in ug and through his content I learned allot about your country so Uganda should allow you to move
Did you chk out the matatus in Mombasa? They are dope too.
Having worked with Ugandas in some project 2yrs ago, they were not impressed with our dry foods.
I think it's not boring but gentle
I love your work , Good ambassador, your are Kenyan you look like us Kenyan, relocate
Welcome to Kisii a place of matoke
Karibu Kenya ,iam Kenyan you know we move fast because,so many things to do ,your day is full with. Appointment, matatus are called manyangas
But food culture is unique in each country.
😂😂😂😂the kneeling part got me....A kenyan woman would rather die 😅or count every drop of water in the ocean than kneel down
Thanks for the positive comments about Kenya. I also agree with you that Ugandan food is miles ahead of Kenya.
You are so welcome
You are so welcome
Uganda I'm coming soon
Kenyans are so patriotic. The only thing l didn’t experience there is the Matatus. Also me l was told that they love Ugandan women
Correction Kenya is not fast. It's Nairobi that is fast. If you go to Mombasa it's a much slower more casual pace. We are proud of Kenya.
But Harriet in super markets we use momo pay here too .
We have momo pay, which is similar to mpesa to buy goods and services, you may just not be informed about it
Only that it's not yet widely used compared to Kenya maybe, that's the difference
You have no idea of mpesa
You have a point. Its the extent of usage that differs. In Kenya most people use M-pesa more than they use hard cash.
@@likatalikata3823 exactly... It's the exact same thing but the extent of usage is different
Do you buy credit via momo?

You are also patriotic

we love kenya so much, we occupied parliament recently
Wow
