  • I finally reach the Beqaa valley, and after riding through a few Syrian refugee camps, I stumbled upon a group of guys who invite me for coffee. Then they invite me to stay the night in their house with their family, and I accept. That will turn out to be a great mistake. But at the moment I don't know who they really are, and I enjoy their hospitality. We make a small dabke party.

      This is the case! I believe only one or two of them roped you. They wouldn't need to show you their IDs and bring you to their home if they were real thugs.. they could easily rope you on a side street if they were real criminals. Glad you are safe. This actually could happen anywhere in the world even in first world countries. Be careful out there and I advice you to find a local to show you around when you're in poor or dangerous neighborhoods anywhere in the world. Safety first!

The people showed you good hospitality even when they themselves were struggling and it is unfair to have a title generalizing and accusing them all of being thieves and thugs! It could have ended up much much worse if they were real dangerous criminals.

    Hello sir, I just saw this video after I watched your visit to my town Basra in Iraq and left you a comment on one of your videos in Iraq about the word “nus” which means “half” when you were getting a sandwich for 1500 Iraqi dinars.
    I just want to let you know in the minute 11:05 in this video, one of the guys ( I think the bald guy) made a comment about you are going to get a surprise while you were there. I don’t know how to explain it exactly in English but the phrase that one of them used implied bad intentions. He said “ ferd alah ale” which means when someone gets in trouble. So basically they already Knew something bad is coming your way.
    Now I could be wrong, but that’s very clear to me they had bad intent towards you and they probably planned all that in a short time and they had to act quickly. Anyways, I’m glad you are safe, and I know you’ll not encounter such a thing in Iraq.

    The guy with the long hair organised everything, he's a bad dude through and through. He called the bearded guy because he spoke English to get you to stay. I'd say all the other guys knew you were going to get robbed. When ever you're around a bunch of dudes siting around doing nothing its a bad sign. No one does anything for free. Have a tea and leave. You also seem to laugh a lot, nervously. To these guys that's a sign of weakness to exploit and they don't respect that. Because you dont speak Arabic, its difficult to gain respect. Its best to be respectful, accept small hospitality and always be wary

    • @sports__moments
      @sports__moments Рік тому +19

      Also, I've seen in your videos you accept gifts and services for free. I wouldn’t do that. If you don't want to show you have money in that moment, come back later to the shop and bring a gift or something. That shows respect and they will like and remember you. You have to match hospitality for hospitality. These people are not there for just your personal experiences and satisfactions.

      @KinoYves  Рік тому +14

      I completely understand your point, and it does make sense.
      Regarding the relationship with them, I think that my behavior did not really matter, whatever I would have done, they would have always tried to rob me.
      Regarding gifts, I accept gifts because in the end I don't really care if people give me things or not (I don't get satisfied by receiving a gift, I never receive any gift for my birthday or christmas, because I actually don't like to receive gifts), and I don't feel that I owe anything to people who give me things, because often people give for themselves (often people give not to make the person who receives the gift happy, but they give because giving makes them happy, and makes them feel that they have high morals). And personally, I don't really like to give, because then I feel as if I was trying to buy sympathy
      And regarding who dominates who, I also don't really care, if people want to think that they are better than me, or that they dominate me, very good for them, I honestly don't care.

      That's why (I think I can speak for many Eastern Europeans) we are so suspicious of hospitality of other cultures. Even if genuine, it seems too forced. When we see this behavior, the first thing we think is "how is he going to rob me now".
      I saw a few Yves' videos, the hospitality blew my mind, but this long-haired dude gave bad vibes since the beginning. But I probably would've easily get caught in his trap too. I was so anxious just watching the video, because the moment he sat down, it was impossible to leave the place. That's why if somebody smiles at me on the street and tries to begin a conversation, I will avoid him as much as I can. "Expensive" cars, bikes and clothes are suspicious too. Yes, don't judge the book by its cover, but sometimes prejudice can save your life.
      Most of the family seemed genuine, though.

Many of the pious people in past before mass media had long beards the Abrahimic faith prophet, Jesus as portrayed in church paintings, many well known science figures such as Einstein, Newton, Charles Darwin the list goes on.

    Don't even apologise or feel guilt, like honestly, you're a tourist and a foreigner who is there to travel and enjoy the place, the way you encountered them and the welcoming they gave you is common amongst most places in the Middle East and Europe, the unfortunate thing is the facade they put on which gave you a false impression that they were truly welcoming. I feel like most of the people in this video were genuine, and I feel like most people watching this video would have also accepted the invitation considering out of guilt, most people don't want to feel insulting to a potential host. Its an experience you'll never forget and whilst it is unfortunate, atleast you are safe and will be more cautious in the future. Really enjoying your videos!

    I don’t believe they are all bad like you have mentioned that not all of them were involved. I think the family welcomed you because thats part of hospitality in Arabic culture. Its a real shame that someone in that house ruined that experience. It would of been one of your best experiences if the issue didn’t happen.

    I could see the danger already in the eyes of the guy in 5:01 approaching you and inviting you for coffee. THERE it all started! Some good rules for you..DO NEVER BE with a group of idle young people like this... Those guys was planing not only to rob you, but also to kidnap you and ask ransom from France, which can be very traumatic even if you survive it. There was some red flags, to learn from next time:
    1. CHARISMATIC guy with the weed necklace, he seems to be the one keeping you distracted from listning to your inner alarm bells.
    2. The over exaggeration generosity and attention. Ask yourself WHY do you think they will feed you and waste their money on you? Those people are poor.
    3. The fleshy and expensive bikes and cars they showed you. Do you sincerely believe those people afford buying things lika that? They are most probably stolen or robbed from other victims.
    4. No one seems to go to work. What are they living on? They didn't seem to do anything else than waiting for their prey like appear.
    In general I would say avoid POOR areas, even if most of them are extremely nice, there will always be 1 and 2 who are taking advantage of the lawlessness in that area. And sometime 1 and 2 is just enough to make you regret the time you set your foot there. There is a reason why those places are empty of tourists.
    Thanks God you survived this, I don't believe this was their first victim... The elders knew this as well, that's why they where not very chatty and kept low profile, as what they will do with you is part of their life to survive.

    A similar incident happened to me. That's why it's hard to trust people even after they have opened up to you. This was when I was studying in Orléans in 1997. I was an exchange student from America spending a year in France. The foreign students were also taking the same language classes with refugees. I had this classmate who was a Turkish refugee who befriended me. Eventually he earned my trust and was already visiting me at the résidence universitaire. As you know the rooms were divided by a thin wall that separated the area of the bed and the lavabo. One time «Çevki» (that's his name) visited me in my room. At one point I had to go to the lavabo to wash my hands. Unfortunately the drawers «tiroir» were on the other side so I couldn't see what was going on. After Çevki left I realized that my money inside the drawers were gone. I was devastated thinking that Çevki could do such a thing after me and a few other friends have already spent time together in bars and other social activities. I told my American friends what Çevki did. They were supportive of me all the way. They were giving Çevki that treatment where we were letting him know we knew exactly what he did. I even planned to take revenge by going to his house and (stealing, as he did) 😄 something of an equivalent value like a camera or something, but the American group convinced me not to go down his level. This incident happened in November '97 and I ended up leaving by January '98 not completing the whole academic year due to other reasons. That was actually the first time anything was stolen from me and it happened in France perpetrated by my "trusted" Turkish friend. 😠☹️

    They obviously didn't rob you, some neighbour maybe or someone passing by found your bike and saw the oportunity, thieves are oportunist. They obviously wanted to cut the back part of your bike and take it away with your things rolling with the wheel but somebody appear and they had to run, if it were somebody from the family they wouldn't have to run away and leave the job unfinished. They were an awesome family, and they made a great video for you, is kind of sad that you thought badly of them. When you are in a dangerous area you don't just leave the bike there, you have to take it inside and close the door, believe me I live in a dangerous area. They were definitely not the robbers.
