Imagine how peaceful this world could be if everyone approached other people's cultures with Mark's sincerity. Not once did he seem arrogant or afraid. Much love from North Carolina, U.S.
UPDATE 11/8/20: Thank you all for the likes and comments. Was only speaking from my heart. :) With all due respect. I have a lot of respect for Mark because I could tell there were probably some foods he didn’t like at all but he’s so kind, respectful and cautious of what he says so he’s not disrespecting anyone’s culture. Thank you Mark for your politeness and positivity. You are a example on how one should respect other people’s cultures!
I don't like that they put the hot and boiling soups in the plastic bottles, the traditional way years ago probably had the soups prepared in their native jugs made from clay or something but then plastic was introduced and they probably found it easier to use and are unaware of the dangers lurking in some heated plastics ....
Someone in the background said "hiyo supu ikuje tume lipia drum nzima wewe" hahahahaha meaning "can that soup come "we have paid" for the whole drum." Love Kenyans for real. You can easily tell Mark treated them to a meat party. Love it!
From the Philippines . I love Kenya and anything about Africa. The beauty of the place the innocence and kindness of the people is no question. I hope I can also visit Kenya and experience the kindness of its people. God bless you country.
Put it in your wishlist...once here you won't regret and if you want to enjoy your trip,be like the locals,don't be like a tourist...it's not much fun to visit as a tourist....I mean come here and live like the locals eg public transport,eat in the restaurant,of your choice of course,walk in the streets freely,etc
God bless you too...You also have a beautiful country and the soap operas that you produce are quite a hit in Kenya ...it has our women glued on TV when they are on air.
We are heavy on Reggae and dance hall vibes. I bet an average Kenyan on the street is more Jamaican than some of you Jamaican. Vybz Kartel can be elected a Kenyan member of parliament
@subham sarkar you have a twisted mind yourself. I'm not a racist girl. @juliet kankam so sorry to hear that. Let's hope things Change. Don't put yourself in the level of racist people. They're so low.
@ Chami K You have such a sweet spirit. I understand totally what you are trying to convey. The world would be such a beautiful place if love was the centrifugal of one's mind and heart. What a lovely example Mark Wien's is - every person is precious, signicant, and loveable. Have a blessed day🌹
I had a lot of kenyan friends in uae... They were the nicest people very gentle and sweet..we always had a barbeque parties every weekend... Love from Philippines🇵🇭
I was eating street food for a while I visited the doctor said I got no bacteria cause street food is always served hot, which means 98%of the bacteria is dead, unlike restaurants foods that are expensive, they stay refrigerated for number of days.now that's unhealthy
Nope..if you are regularly eating street food your intestinal flora slowly starts to adapt it.. even though minor pathogens are present in food your immune system doesn't react seriously and nothing happens..if any random foreigner or a guy who start to eat street food newly he will suffer more.. because his immune system never encounters that pathogen before and your intestinal flora also not ready to accept..so it's leads to harmful effects..
@@OBIE83 No, what makes sense is that it's cooked and served right away because of LACK OF REFRIGERATION...don't sit there and tell me that all this so-called NATURAL & HEALTHY FOOD would go BAD because it was refrigerated for a couple of days - hogwash.
This is more than just a food video. It's like everything combined in one; culture, food, lifestyle, people, and the most important is LOVE from amazing Mark and people from Africa. Keep it up man!
This is the real Kenya nomal people life. Not reach people this is our life I think 75percent of Kenya are normal people or rather poor people I grow there and it's my home and I'm proud of it... So Mark thank you for showing the world our life... don't judge me I know my English is not perfect but hope u will understand... thanks so much mark
75% of Kenyans? your stats are misleading. 60% of Kenyans live in Rural areas [with better hygienic organic food], 40% live in the cities (Kenya National Bureau of Statistics, 2017), at most only 20% of those in the cities reside in slums. It is this 20% poor that mark decided to visit - majority of Kenyans can't even visit those places he went to, not because of their 'choice of food' but mostly for lack of security
James Owen shut up its generalisation and not facts, fuckers like u always has something negative to say on other people’s post why not create and post to say what u want .

For those of you complaining about the dirtiness and filthy of the area need to understand that your stomach already is full of Bacteria, So please enjoy the food and understand the Culture. I give Mark 100% credit for being a decent Human being who embraces other cultures. The world is a better place when we get off from our Comfort Zones.....Kudos Mark.....
Who is the idiot who mentioned filthiness and dirtiness. Those should not watch these videos. Go to Michelin star restaurants and there act snobby, you morons.
i love tasting all the different street foods in Nairobi. I was there last Spring and had a blast. The people are awesome and very welcoming. If you look outside the box you will experience so much more. What an awesome experience and something I will be seeing very soon once again
NADHII TRANSPORT, you are partially correct. If you are accustomed to eating foods served in unhygienic conditions your stomach already has bacteria that will take care of business and you will not get sick. Cooking kills the harmful bacteria, it is the dirty plates, knives, forks, hands, etc. that transmit the bacteria that will cause problems. However, if you are from a developed country and have never been exposed to foods served in those conditions in the video, I can guarantee you will not be going out the next day. When I was a kid, I ate at those places. Today, after many years in the US, I will pass. I don't want stuff happening to me.
Humanity can learn a great lesson from you Mark... what an incredible, wonderful, and very out going and friendly personality. The people you come across to create and share those moments with is priceless... You are living life to the fullest. Many blessings to you and your family. Safe Travels and thank you so much for your videos.
All my respect to this man, he can literally eat everything from everywhere. I wish I could have the stomach for that. It must be delicious and a unique experience.
What I most like about Mark is, he shared most of his foods with the surroundings. which is a great sign of humanity. Actually, he is spreading happiness there. . .
This is exactly what makes Mark an incredible foodie and amazing soul! He does not discriminate against food. He is fearless when it comes to digging deep in food and culture. I adore him! From a fellow Arizonan. #Phoenix
After Anthony Bourdain and Andrew Zimmern, Mark Weins i believe is a force to recon with. Plus his lack of discrimination and willingness to try anything and still smile is priceless. Karibu Kenya
Unlike Anthony Bourdain I've never seen or heard Mr Wiens doubtful or critical of anything he's heard, seen or eaten. He seems to have no capacity for introspective analysis and critique, but an infinite capacity to absorb the worst this world has to offer without batting an eyelash. Everything is SIMPLY AMAZING! MMMMMMMMMMmmmmmmmmmmm. No. It seldom is.
@Elio Emmanuel - Pedantic foolishness seems to be epidemic. You appear to be a victim. Also a victim of illiteracy. How have you managed to conclude the drivel in your comment?? Can you read? Try to understand what you read. You'll find it helpful.
welcome back to Kenya karibu those complaining about dirt and filth I personally am being brought up because of that dirt, my mum sells boiled(githeri"mixed beans and maize, beans, greengrams etc) cereals on the streets and uses that money to raise me and my siblings respect my hustle is our slogan, so those anti us respect us
Wajinga wa kwao...this foods r the best...that's y u will never hear people with stomach disorders or cholera... The other day kwa bash lavingnton na Weston watu walishikwa na cholera mbaya......I love this places... #respect....
@@dripemoji3315 I disagree with you. He is actually deceiving himself and others who watch him. You can respect people's culture while still telling the truth.
I admire the fact that you show respect to peoples cultures. But then you are not saying the truth on how the food really taste. You can say the true taste while still respecting peoples culture(s)
@@kele2nv4u how do you know they are not saying the truth about how the food really taste maybe the food is really good to them you are not in their mouth so you cannot say if the food is bad or not. Everyone does not need to have an opinion, case in point, yours
@@kele2nv4u I disagree with you why do you just assume that he doesn't like the food maybe you really don't like the food and I like to point out that when a food is too overcooked or too tough or too spicy he will say it and if it's not his taste he says that too
i am mixed raced, and my mom is from kenya, dad from ontario! a couple years ago i visited my familly in kenya for the first time, and i ate the best fish in nirobi!
This man is so humble you can read to his face that is why people opens their hearts for him because his not there to judge but to experience how ordinary people cook their food God bless you Mark and you family
Mark has to be one of the most genuine humble person I've seen on UA-cam and just seem like a naturally wonderful human being.keep up the good work bro,we need more people like you in this world
8:30 when Mark took the first bite of the humble chapati..inside the warm family home..I had a moment there. Mark so used to extravagants like wagyu beef and Texas Ribeyes etc ... and now this. True food ambassador and a charming guest.
Mark, you are incredible. My mind could not get around the fact that the soup was cow head as you described it. I give you so much respect for trying all these different foods and staying so positive under all situations. You are a man of cultural acceptance wherever you go. Great job!
I've watched this video athousand times.Was born and raised in Nairobi!This Kenyan videos are like a time machine for me.I miss mutura the most.To say I love your work mark is an understatement.
Thanks Mark for making me nostalgic..I have greatest memories of my life in Nairobi..I actually enjoyed every moment of my life when I was in Nairobi in 2014. The Kenyan people are great and lovable. Especially I always liked the Indian food they have prepared. I was literally amazed to taste the Indian food because many of the Indian also can’t prepare that kind of taste. The chapati is a pure Indian food and as Indians are living there for many years, many Indian food items have become part of their plate. Thanks again for giving me a video tour of Nairobi..
I am from Mexico and I would like to visit Kenya someone invite me 🤣😂🤣😂also I am Chef I would like to bring Mexican culture to Kenya And that the people knew more the Mexican culture and Mexican food.. Greetings Kenya..🇲🇽🇲🇽🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪🇲🇽🇲🇽👏👏
You're so welcome... I'll offer you a FREE lesson on Kenyan cooking and a free tour... Where you can sample different/diverse delicacies from different cultures...
As a Mexican, it was really cool seeing how some of these Kenyan dishes were similar to some Mexican dishes. It was thrilling to see other cultures enjoy the same parts of the cow that my culture likes. If anyone is curious of which dishes I'm referring to, it's the cow tongue with chili. In my culture we love to eat cow tongue in tacos with salsa. There was also the dish that had rice and beans with beef stew. In my culture we have a similar dish that is a beef stew that is cooked with tomatoes and green chilies. It is also served with rice and beans.
Wow, I guess we are all one human race, I don't know where discrimination comes from. Imagine that distance apart yet sharing the same culture, it proves we should all live together despite race. Love should be the pillar of human race not colour, man I wish everyone was friendly Even to outsiders, that's how we should live
I appreciate this video. I don't know why people are complaining about it. There are many different sides to Kenya depending on your economic standing and this is just one of them. Sure it isn't fancy, but it serves its purpose. Look at them chugging that thubu. And the mũtura, classic. 👏 👏
Yvonne Wabai .. Bonjour... I totally agree with you..there is always two sides to a coin..I have frnds living there...and I have seen pics posted by them on social media.....and I must say Nairobi seems very different than what is shown here in the video.. Nairobi is actually alot more developed....clean and progressive place... With lots of love from Paris..❤️❤️ Au revoir
Mark was born on 26th February 1986 in Phoenix, Arizona, to a Chinese mom and an American dad. His parents were missionaries, and that meant that Mark moved around a lot as a child. Mark and his family moved to Albertville, France, when he was five years old. The family then moved to the Democratic Republic of Congo, where they stayed for about three and a half years. Mark was homeschooled during this period. The family moved to Nairobi, Kenya, after war broke out in DRC. Mark completed his high school education in an International School in Kenya.
Good morning Mark! Asante sana for sharing all of this awesome yumminess with us! You’re absolutely one of my favorite UA-camr’s! ♥️ Your passion for food, your passion for people, your passion for the many countries’ that you’ve visited is absolutely amazing and so much fun to watch! And the way you describe each dish-my gosh, I can almost taste it! 😋 Many thanks to you, Ying, and little Micah for showing us parts of the world that I can only dream of visiting! ❤️ Congratulations to your friend (James), his beautiful wife, and their precious baby!
Max respect! I'm Kenyan and eating street food takes guts and love. And he treated everyone with respect and he's super genuine. Boy, I hope his tummy didn't turn upside down that night.
From Thailand 🇹🇭 Food in 🇰🇪 Kenya is healthy n yummy n fresh! Only 10% have refrigerators so foods are fresh n very healthy! I enjoyed Kenya 🇰🇪 n its WILDLIFE PARK! I highly recommend Kenya! Its safer than most American cities that are cesspools! South Africa is very violent with so much crime but not Kenya!
Brother I read ur comments about South Africa, frankly the people r nice. The place is amazing with natural beauty as well as modernised thanks to their European settlers. The crimes r mostly sparked due to frustration rooting from inequality & related factors. Also a lots of people from other African countries settled in South Africa, can b reason for the wide spread violence...
I just stumbled on this channel and I would say Mark is respectful, very adventurous, and bold enough to try different cultures. I just love his style.
for everyone complaining about hygiene this is street food, this is not how folks eat at home every day, just like Americans have truck food. Every American doesn't eat from the trucks why would you think every kenyan eats like this🙄🙄🙄
wakag mun We don't; just pure ignorance to think otherwise. Street food in America may be prepared in a different way; however, that doesn't mean its more hygenic than what's shown here.
Karon G I’m asian there always going be the few who will be ignorant about things like this , no matter where travel to including here in the u.s there are more to every thing .
Food poisoning mostly come from under under cooked meat or decomposing leftovers. Most of the food here is boiled thoroughly or boiled before it is grilled.
harleystud I’m Angolan and for 20 years in my country never got food poisoning and I always ate street food there. I came to the states for school, and got my first food poisoning from Cheesecake Factory 🤷🏽♀️
🔥🔥🔥🔥 kills everything. You get food poisoning from cold salads or cold items anybody can touch for a long period of time. Frozen street food or Hot street food = is the safest. Plus they cook it in-front of you... not behind a secret kitchen wall... who knows what going on back there?
Hello there Mark! You took our street food like a Champ! As a Nairobian, I didn't even know we had this many options... Cheers to you for doing it with a smile and having positive comments! I love Mutura and Nyama Choma any day! Of course plus roasted maize and boiled maize-that is a must have! :D Happy Travels! :D
Hi! Do you by chance know which neighborhood or what street Stomach Clinix is on? Also what street would have the best street food vendors to get Nyama Choma?
People may forget that Mark grew up in Africa because his parents were missionaries. That explains why he went to school with a diverse group of people from around the world. I miss Ying and Micah, but I know everyone needs a rest. Everyone is so welcoming and friendly.❤️
PhatDeth oNeKOG That is not what I am saying. Diversity means a variety. People from different countries and backgrounds with different personalities. Each of the people we have met that Mark went to school with ( James, Khan, Joel ( not in this series), etc.) come from different countries and backgrounds. Some have stayed where they grew up and some have left.
@@rantersparadise yep im from the carribean im from the british virgin islands we are africans some other race come and live hear to but most of us are black
Only Mark can make cow head stew with teeth and fur look and sound delicious! Also loved seeing James' house and family. I really need to go on an African adventure in the near future!

I wonder where a lack of respect became a part of another's?

From a fellow Arizonan. #Phoenix
Joselyn Wilkinson i agree with you! his just incredible and brilliant
There's really no cultural awakening in diarrhea. No enlightenment in Listeria. No celebration in Salmonella. No fun AT ALL.
After Anthony Bourdain and Andrew Zimmern, Mark Weins i believe is a force to recon with. Plus his lack of discrimination and willingness to try anything and still smile is priceless.
Karibu Kenya
Unlike Anthony Bourdain I've never seen or heard Mr Wiens doubtful or critical of anything he's heard, seen or eaten. He seems to have no capacity for introspective analysis and critique, but an infinite capacity to absorb the worst this world has to offer without batting an eyelash. Everything is SIMPLY AMAZING! MMMMMMMMMMmmmmmmmmmmm. No. It seldom is.
@Elio Emmanuel - Pedantic foolishness seems to be epidemic. You appear to be a victim. Also a victim of illiteracy. How have you managed to conclude the drivel in your comment?? Can you read? Try to understand what you read. You'll find it helpful.
I love shows like this, I'm a little bored with food shows about Asian and western food, but this African food is new to me and really entertaining
Really mark is the best .....he respect everyone's culture,... can I get like for his kindness
@Dillon Hastings how u no he outside his comfort zone?
He's a really great guy❤️
Oh poor baby, you want a like ? You need more attention ?
Trust me its better than U think 😍😍😍
If you haven't visited U are left my out
welcome back to Kenya
karibu
those complaining about dirt and filth I personally am being brought up because of that dirt, my mum sells boiled(githeri"mixed beans and maize, beans, greengrams etc) cereals on the streets and uses that money to raise me and my siblings
respect my hustle is our slogan, so those anti us respect us
Speak mommy speak. Hawajui kitu (i hope i spelt that right) Kenya is ❤
Wajinga wa kwao...this foods r the best...that's y u will never hear people with stomach disorders or cholera... The other day kwa bash lavingnton na Weston watu walishikwa na cholera mbaya......I love this places... #respect....

it's called 'mutura', it's cow intestine stuffed with meat inside
it's so nice
Mark you are a true testament of how a person should react in different cultures when experiencing their food and different lifestyles kudos to you🇺🇸
It's true we should love people's culture even if we don't like it on the inside it's not good to show it
@@dripemoji3315 I disagree with you. He is actually deceiving himself and others who watch him. You can respect people's culture while still telling the truth.
I admire the fact that you show respect to peoples cultures. But then you are not saying the truth on how the food really taste.
You can say the true taste while still respecting peoples culture(s)
@@kele2nv4u how do you know they are not saying the truth about how the food really taste maybe the food is really good to them you are not in their mouth so you cannot say if the food is bad or not. Everyone does not need to have an opinion, case in point, yours
@@kele2nv4u I disagree with you why do you just assume that he doesn't like the food maybe you really don't like the food and I like to point out that when a food is too overcooked or too tough or too spicy he will say it and if it's not his taste he says that too
Kenya seems great. Would love to vist after the pandemic. Much respect from Denmark to Kenya 🇰🇪🇩🇰
You are welcome.
Glad to here my friend
Let me be your host
Did you visit?
So friendly people and the food made me hungry. Peace and love from Angola to Kenya

Anuvesh Mishra cow feet i dislike this
I love this guy😍😍😍😍.He is very simple and respect all culture of every country.Keep it up guy✌🇳🇬
i am mixed raced, and my mom is from kenya, dad from ontario! a couple years ago i visited my familly in kenya for the first time, and i ate the best fish in nirobi!
This man is so humble you can read to his face that is why people opens their hearts for him because his not there to judge but to experience how ordinary people cook their food God bless you Mark and you family
Thanks to self quarantine,I just came across your videos!! Im already glued.Kenyans where you at ?
Listening to the Swahili in the background is the real gold in this video 😂😂😂😂
Mark has to be one of the most genuine humble person I've seen on UA-cam and just seem like a naturally wonderful human being.keep up the good work bro,we need more people like you in this world
Mark your politeness did not go unnoticed we appreciate you back
Its impeccaple how he manges to be so polite. I am very sure if given the chance, he wouldn't eat half of these foods ever again
I love how you mingle with the locals and appreciate their hospitality. You are a really nice person mark., that's why God is blessing you abundantly
8:30 when Mark took the first bite of the humble chapati..inside the warm family home..I had a moment there. Mark so used to extravagants like wagyu beef and Texas Ribeyes etc ... and now this. True food ambassador and a charming guest.
I'm from Philippines and I love Kenyan foods😁❤️
Welcome to Kenya
Come again we love visitors🙏🙏🙏
And i love you also
Welcome Kenya my dear sister
Come visit Kenya
Mark, you are incredible. My mind could not get around the fact that the soup was cow head as you described it. I give you so much respect for trying all these different foods and staying so positive under all situations. You are a man of cultural acceptance wherever you go. Great job!
Fly The Flag High mark is the best!!!! Am so proud of this guy,more power to you and your family mark God bless..
Fly The Flag High cows head if by far the most tender meat. It’s a must try.
I've watched this video athousand times.Was born and raised in Nairobi!This Kenyan videos are like a time machine for me.I miss mutura the most.To say I love your work mark is an understatement.
Thanks Mark for making me nostalgic..I have greatest memories of my life in Nairobi..I actually enjoyed every moment of my life when I was in Nairobi in 2014. The Kenyan people are great and lovable. Especially I always liked the Indian food they have prepared. I was literally amazed to taste the Indian food because many of the Indian also can’t prepare that kind of taste. The chapati is a pure Indian food and as Indians are living there for many years, many Indian food items have become part of their plate.
Thanks again for giving me a video tour of Nairobi..
Well come again
Chapati is not Indian food. The way Kenyans cook their chapati is very different from how indians cook their ruti!
@@yesbana49 name indicates all..anyway. I have tastes the Chapatis by Kenyans..too good...Kenyan people are actually very good cook.
@@yesbana49 Everything is in the name brother. Chapati.. Absolutely Indian. I like kenyan chapatis..

Mark you are so humble, God bless your heart!!
Ria Chatzaki There are high end restaurants in Kenya
True
Kenya is an awesome food destination! The kenyan people are great too! Extremely friendly and hospitable! :)
He knows exactly how to spread love with food as a component of a culture. Thank you, Mark. I respect you.
Mark is an international citizen.He loves every culture and is humle
This is legit Nairobi, no filters, I love it **
Mark and James went to school together. Awesomeness!
Ericsurf6 hi Eric!
Ericsurf6 omg I am melting !!!
Yeah mark said he stay at Africa before merry I think
Love your japanese food videos..! keep up on it
And were disciples of . . .
I am from Mexico and I would like to visit Kenya someone invite me 🤣😂🤣😂also I am Chef
I would like to bring Mexican culture to Kenya And that the people knew more the Mexican culture and Mexican food..
Greetings Kenya..🇲🇽🇲🇽🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪🇲🇽🇲🇽👏👏
You are welcome anytime Charles! You'll love it
Greetings 2 u too Xavier. Come 2 Kenya,i would like 2 taste your(Mexican's) tomales,tacos
Charles Xavier welcome Mr.chef 😂😂I understand you come from el chapos land
You're so welcome... I'll offer you a FREE lesson on Kenyan cooking and a free tour... Where you can sample different/diverse delicacies from different cultures...
Man if you blend them too foods together a d start a restaurant you will blow up
As a Mexican, it was really cool seeing how some of these Kenyan dishes were similar to some Mexican dishes. It was thrilling to see other cultures enjoy the same parts of the cow that my culture likes. If anyone is curious of which dishes I'm referring to, it's the cow tongue with chili. In my culture we love to eat cow tongue in tacos with salsa. There was also the dish that had rice and beans with beef stew. In my culture we have a similar dish that is a beef stew that is cooked with tomatoes and green chilies. It is also served with rice and beans.
Wow, I guess we are all one human race, I don't know where discrimination comes from. Imagine that distance apart yet sharing the same culture, it proves we should all live together despite race. Love should be the pillar of human race not colour, man I wish everyone was friendly Even to outsiders, that's how we should live
That’s why when I miss Kenyan food … In a foreign country I go to a Mexican restaurant …
Even the tortilla close to chapati … 😂
I appreciate this video. I don't know why people are complaining about it. There are many different sides to Kenya depending on your economic standing and this is just one of them. Sure it isn't fancy, but it serves its purpose. Look at them chugging that thubu. And the mũtura, classic. 👏 👏
EXACTLY! Thank you for stating that!
watajua hawajui
Yvonne Wabai .. Bonjour... I totally agree with you..there is always two sides to a coin..I have frnds living there...and I have seen pics posted by them on social media.....and I must say Nairobi seems very different than what is shown here in the video.. Nairobi is actually alot more developed....clean and progressive place...
With lots of love from Paris..❤️❤️
Au revoir
In Trinidad they call this type of soup mannish water....they make it with goat head also
Mark you are a very humble amd nice person you mix into any crowd don't discriminate at all bless you mashallah
12:42 ati kukoroga inaitwaje na kizungu 😂😂😂😂😂😂if you are a proud Kenyan gonga like 👍 👍 😘 😘
Am very proud to be a Kenyan✊🏿
hahaha hata me niliskia hiyo!!
this has made me happy!😊
@@Zoentje89 come ur India .. I'm form India
@@organicspices1709 😁 am from Kenya bt i live in Belgium
confusing ingredients
I'm just wondering how many times Mark still have to give priceless expression even he doesn't like some of the foods he tasted.
Twenty three
You cannot not like Kenyan food. Karibu Kenya!
am kenyan and I've been getting this vibe since the first place they hit
most people hating failed to realize that Mark Wiens is a Kenyan
Oh he is?
Mark was born on 26th February 1986 in Phoenix, Arizona, to a Chinese mom and an American dad. His parents were missionaries, and that meant that Mark moved around a lot as a child. Mark and his family moved to Albertville, France, when he was five years old.
The family then moved to the Democratic Republic of Congo, where they stayed for about three and a half years. Mark was homeschooled during this period. The family moved to Nairobi, Kenya, after war broke out in DRC. Mark completed his high school education in an International School in Kenya.
@Mohamed Osman great
The way you so respect different cultures , reminds me of the great Anthony Bourdain. God Bless💕💕
Good morning Mark! Asante sana for sharing all of this awesome yumminess with us! You’re absolutely one of my favorite UA-camr’s! ♥️ Your passion for food, your passion for people, your passion for the many countries’ that you’ve visited is absolutely amazing and so much fun to watch! And the way you describe each dish-my gosh, I can almost taste it! 😋 Many thanks to you, Ying, and little Micah for showing us parts of the world that I can only dream of visiting! ❤️
Congratulations to your friend (James), his beautiful wife, and their precious baby!
Mr James is the hero of this video.His style merges well with the music.
Max respect! I'm Kenyan and eating street food takes guts and love. And he treated everyone with respect and he's super genuine. Boy, I hope his tummy didn't turn upside down that night.
Probably did but when you embrace someone’s culture idk about judging
From Thailand 🇹🇭 Food in 🇰🇪 Kenya is healthy n yummy n fresh! Only 10% have refrigerators so foods are fresh n very healthy! I enjoyed Kenya 🇰🇪 n its WILDLIFE PARK! I highly recommend Kenya! Its safer than most American cities that are cesspools! South Africa is very violent with so much crime but not Kenya!
Heheh good welcome again
Welcome
Brother I read ur comments about South Africa, frankly the people r nice. The place is amazing with natural beauty as well as modernised thanks to their European settlers. The crimes r mostly sparked due to frustration rooting from inequality & related factors. Also a lots of people from other African countries settled in South Africa, can b reason for the wide spread violence...
Lol you must be out of your mind if you say eating blood and literal fat cubes is healthy lmao
@@moncef2466 healthy for kenyans
The fact that they are playing Jamaican music in the mini van in Kenya is epic. Reggae is everywhere 🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲
Riddim is very much loved in Kenya
Jah rastafari
Reggae is huge in the entire continent!! 🙏🏽❤
You should see how much of a big deal reggae and dancehall are in Ethiopia
I just stumbled on this channel and I would say Mark is respectful, very adventurous, and bold enough to try different cultures. I just love his style.
for everyone complaining about hygiene this is street food, this is not how folks eat at home every day, just like Americans have truck food. Every American doesn't eat from the trucks why would you think every kenyan eats like this🙄🙄🙄
wakag mun We don't; just pure ignorance to think otherwise. Street food in America may be prepared in a different way; however, that doesn't mean its more hygenic than what's shown here.
saaa na wangeonyesha hiyo thufu ikigongwa kwa chupa si ndio wangetapika!
Karon G I’m asian there always going be the few who will be ignorant about things like this , no matter where travel to including here in the u.s there are more to every thing .
Nelly Kilonzi 😂😂🤣
street food everywhere is dirty 🙄
Mark can you do a vid on how you avoid food poisoning and tell us what you have eaten that gave you food poisoning if you had it !
Food poisoning mostly come from under under cooked meat or decomposing leftovers. Most of the food here is boiled thoroughly or boiled before it is grilled.
harleystud I’m Angolan and for 20 years in my country never got food poisoning and I always ate street food there. I came to the states for school, and got my first food poisoning from Cheesecake Factory 🤷🏽♀️
🔥🔥🔥🔥 kills everything. You get food poisoning from cold salads or cold items anybody can touch for a long period of time.
Frozen street food or Hot street food = is the safest. Plus they cook it in-front of you... not behind a secret kitchen wall... who knows what going on back there?
Hello there Mark! You took our street food like a Champ! As a Nairobian, I didn't even know we had this many options... Cheers to you for doing it with a smile and having positive comments! I love Mutura and Nyama Choma any day! Of course plus roasted maize and boiled maize-that is a must have! :D Happy Travels! :D
Hi! Do you by chance know which neighborhood or what street Stomach Clinix is on? Also what street would have the best street food vendors to get Nyama Choma?
@@ChasingEverywhere Nyama Choma I know many different cool places to get your Meat
Almost every street/estate in Nairobi has nyama choma etc
try get to the hoods. this places are everywhere. A real Nairobian should have tasted this especially kama umeenda campo kenya or even high school. .
Feel so proud with this guy jus saying names of our food off his head big up man keep ur fire burning 🇰🇪🇯🇲❤️✊
I miss those days in matatu , reggea music was liit ,missing my mother's land Kenya, watching from Doha Qatar
People may forget that Mark grew up in Africa because his parents were missionaries. That explains why he went to school with a diverse group of people from around the world. I miss Ying and Micah, but I know everyone needs a rest. Everyone is so welcoming and friendly.❤️
PacificOcean17 who the hell is ming 😂
comicbookguy1 Autocorrect. 🤦🏽♀️ That’s for catching!
PhatDeth oNeKOG That is not what I am saying. Diversity means a variety. People from different countries and backgrounds with different personalities. Each of the people we have met that Mark went to school with ( James, Khan, Joel ( not in this series), etc.) come from different countries and backgrounds. Some have stayed where they grew up and some have left.
helder capela
You're being so negative, have your life the way you want it and let other people be
Yes he lived in congo
I can hear jamaican music alot in Nairobi.. sounding good.. proud jamaican
In Nairobi you can't board two matatus and miss one playing Jamaican music .
It's all over
We love reggae music more than our own Kenyan music

Fascinating to see what people eat around the world. Nice to see that they use the whole animal.
