Sister Marie am so proud of you because you are so hardworking and discipline sister. Must of the sister who are born at Europe or the USA can't do this.
It's not that they can't get stack into the chores but rather becoz they choose not to and big themselves up as being on another level. Im not Gambian but married to one and grew up in the UK. When we go to Gambia, I personally prefer to spend more time at the village in Basse than in the city due to the tranquility and peacefulness of the lifestyle there. I still don't speak the language but understand most of it and so are our kids. Gambia too, is my home alhandulillah.
I do my best to live like an average Gambian whenever I visit The Gambia 😁 I don't care too much about the glitts and glam. Thank you for seeing that 😁💯
You are very hardworking, humble and disciplined. It may help if you wear a mask to stop the dust getting into your eyes & nose when sweeping. Am sure your grandmother will miss you when you get back to Sweden.
As usual, nice content. I am in love with your gambian vlogs, so natural and you look so down to earth. Also, African brooms are not back friendly at all, i don't use them anymore, i prefer the standing ones
God Bless you Sister ♥️♥️🙏🏻🙏🏻I really really enjoyed your context of your daily morning routine and please do as many videos as you can! You’re English is on point too! The bread looks so delicious with the variety Mama lady had at her shop! God blessings to you 🙏🏻🙏🏻❤️
God bless yooou sis! Wow, thank you so much! I just saw your comment. I enjoy doing content about The Gambia and knowing that my extended family appreciates it just gives me the fire to continue 🤍💯 I truly appreciate your comment sis
Lovely once again. 🤩 Also, Ramadan Mubarak ☪️ We also have tapalapa in Mozambique 🇲🇿 but we just call it firewood bread. I hope you do a video of what a fasting day is like and having iftar with your family, Insh Allah
Ramadan mubarak sis ! Sorry for the late reply 😁 Oh I didn't know you have tapalapa all the way over there 😁 Hopefully next time I'll be able to do more content during Ramadan in shaa Allah 🌹
Thanks for this sis. I am used to the bucket bathes and water not running. I've lived under those conditions. But I cannot use the traditional broom for sympathy for my back. I don't need a vacuum but I need a broom with a long stick!! 😂😂😂😂.... I enjoyed this vlog. Thanks for bringing very authentic content. I watched your house tour and I like the gates. Giving me ideas for when I build there.
Salaam. Thanks for sharing. A lot of work to do in the morning it seems. The video brings back memories and makes that I like to visit the Gambia again. (I was there six years ago.) Jummah mubarak from the Netherlands.
Wa aleykum salam! Yes, you are right - there are a lot of chores in the morning. Luckily for us, we can all help each other! Oh ok, you were in The Gambia? Hope you enjoyed it and hope you go back soon!
Thanks for sharing sister, I like your humbleness because others if they come back from the west they are so proud of themselves and don't want to do anything but you are none of that. May Allah continue to guide and protect you. Ameen
Aw ameen brother! Bless you. Yeah I see what you're saying. Not everyone is like that, and I try to stay away from that. I don't get to experience the real Gambia that way 😁💯
The reason i clicked on this video is because I saw the broom ahahaha. I am Indian and where my parents are from in India (State of Kerala - it's in the south) everyone uses a broom that looks like that!!!!!! I had absolutely noooo idea that Africans used a similar one!!! In my language (malayalam) we call it a "choo-luh"
Asalamu alaikum sis. Subhanallah you have no idea how much im missing Gambia. My first visit and I fell in love with it. I love watching your videos. It takes me back to my time there. 💜💜💜😍😍😍 I told my husband to get me a Gambian broom so I can get my workout. Jiji😄😄
I like Your channel very much, Sister😊. I was in Gambia too, I know a little, what You show in Your films. I' m sorry, my English is not to good. All GOOD for You and Your Family🍀🌞💜. And Happy RAMADAN🍀💜🙌.
So you got all of that food for a little less than one dollar. Thank you for sharing that bit of info. You said you got me when I asked you to explain the weight of the dalasi and you do.❤👍
Try to get another broom for indoors so the outside dirt will not be distributed in the house. Always nice to use two or more brooms especially if you have a latrine.
Mashallah. Great video, it is the exactly the same routine in Sénégal . Stocking the water in different containers/ bowls is a must , I heard there are some towns in Sénégal with no water for a couple of days or more and for no reason , then people are blaming the water authority management. Great video again 👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Thank you! And I also thankyou for your insight on how it is in Senegal. But wooww a couple of days is too much!! Hope it can improve so people have access to wate, it's very essential! Thank you once again
What is white or black nothing . Only the heart . Your smiling face is good for health . You seems to be like my daughter .I am 68 .May Allah bless you and your family .
That definitely is an African broom, lol. Also definitely what an African Grandmother would say 😂. I'm glad to see that you are feeling much better Marie. That bread really looks delicious 😋!!! Thanks for sharing your Gambian adventure with us, it's so beautiful & really informative.
@@bambatouba8739 that's great. good women don't last long at home before being taken. I was just praying for her that colanuts are coming her way. She seems to be a good girl.
Very interesting. Thanks for sharing. But why do they use newspapers with the printed ink on, to wrap food?... Its not the appropriate way. You have to think about the chemicals in the ink on the paper, tiny fragments seeps into the food. Not good at all.....
Thank you! You're right, it's not good at all. These news papers are not hygenic at all if you ask me - but there are no other options presented to the population. And it has to do with resources as well 🥲 hopefully we can bring another method and the population can adapt to that
Very good to see you are well Sister Marie. I have not heard you sneeze yet sweeping and breathing in the dust, do you think that dust might irritate your sore throat sister NURSE Marie? Just kidding you good Sister. Please take very special care, Sister be well and stay healthy...
Hey Baba Trench!! I just saw your comment, lol NURSE Marie - that's true, it might have been the dust as well. But I felt sick at the time. Stay blessed and healthy Baba Trench. Haven't heard from you in a long time
IF U ALL HAVE A GALVANIZE ROOF TOP HAVE A CONTRACTOR OR A PLUMBER ATTACHED SOME GUTTERS SO THAT WHEN IT RAINS THE RAIN WATER WILL FALL ON THE ROOFTOP DRAIN IN THE GUTTERS INTO A 3000 GALLON WATER STORAGE CONTAINER THEN THE BACK UP WATER IS TAKEN CARE OF UNTIL THE TAP COMES BACK ON! 😁😁😁😁😁😁😁
Hygiene touching the food with your hands and using that same hand to touch the salad and vegetables so sad in this day and age But I guess this is what makes us strong us Africans 😆 lol
Street food- I like eating them when I go there and guess what I have never got sick , we eat in a shared bowl with our hands and tet we are all healthy, clean hands better than dirty utensils
You seee !! But that's how things are and I wanted to show the real Gambia. You can have opinions about it lol, not the cleanest environment but loooll "that makes us strong" 🤣 it definitely promotes to a stronger immune system 😅
This is more than a week old and I am not sick anymore ! 😁😁
Alhamdulillah
Don't you guys have a borehole or water tank?
No we don't have none of that
Your sweeping the dust with the straw broom makes me appreciate my Swifter duster and my vacuum cleaner.
A broom 🧹 and dust pan with a long handle is priceless.
It really is lol!! I can testify haha
You always bring us wholesome content. I truly appreciate you Sister.
That means a lot to me sis!

You don't have backup tanks in the Gambia?
Some families do... not all - we are unfortunately one of those families who don't.
But it would surely make things easier
Hi sister Maria how are you doing hope you have a good day today you are doing in a clean that's good
Hello there Souleymane, I am fine thank you, hope you are too.
Yes, we are cleaning and doing some other things like we usually do in the mornings 😇
Good morning sis I hope you are taking some herbs and tea and lemon
Grand rising sis!
My grandma hooked my up with some herbs 👏🏾💯
Mde too I live in Gambia 🇬🇲
😃😃 cool !
Yaa sa complain b dina fenge UA-cam deh 😂😂😂 jollof nice
Lol 😂😂 she be complaining hahah
I always wonder why not make the broom longer so everyone does not have to stoop and bend like that.🤔
That’s why we are always fit it’s more like working out
They have the longer kind in The Gambia. I don't know why she is not using it. This kind is not good for your back in the long run.
It's mostly longer than this when it hasn't been used. But as time goes on it gets shorter.
@@triciavillas703 who is always fit? Ha....not everyone is fit.
Good points! I should used a longer broom - that's better for my back😂
But that was the broom we had at the time so I've got to go with that one 💯💯
But the shop kepper How he put the mayonaise lol 😂😂
Lol that's common 😝
Masha Allah 🙏🏻
😜💯💯
Hilarious..
Tapalapa
@13:40. "Hai fuss ala ga" meaning "nothing is here"? in fula
Lol you caught that! I didn't even hahah probably because I don't speak Fula haha
Beautiful indonesian sweater❤❤❤
Thank love

Masha Allah. Busy day
Glad you could be a part of it 😁😁
Hello maria great jobs
Thank you! 💯
In Europe and America we have no houses helped. Try putting masks 😷 on it will help with the dust.
Yup - we do everything by ourselves in the west! But in Gambia, it's common to have house help 😁
I'll try that next time 💯
So now are you in holiday or you are currently move to gambia
I was there for holidays !
Hmmmmm....the breakfast is so richhhh
It was delicious !!
Very interesting. Thanks for sharing. But why do they use newspapers with the printed ink on, to wrap food?... Its not the appropriate way. You have to think about the chemicals in the ink on the paper, tiny fragments seeps into the food. Not good at all.....

Tapalapa is kinda soft and thick,and senfurr is crunchy and kind of light..
That's a good explanation!😁
You're really useful in the house, lol.

Get yourself a broom with a long handle it will save your back years to come.

I don't normally use this broom, just wanted to show you guys the real Africa
That’s the best broom. It gets all under the cracks and crevices. I wish I had one here in Long Beach.
The bet you are keeping $23 no that one is so hot may God help us

It is lol! I don't eat a lot. Just often 😂
Excuse me, can you afford a vacuum cleaner?
