Hello guys. Good morning.
00:49.9
00:54.7
They have latched the window since it is noisy outside.
00:54.8
00:59.6
Can you find the name of the country?
00:59.7
01:04.5
There were temples. It could have been confusing for you guys to guess.
01:04.6
01:09.4
Because sikhs are a majority in this area.
01:09.5
01:14.3
That's why there is a sikhs temple here.
01:14.4
01:19.2
They call it as Sikh guru or Sikh sabha.
01:19.3
01:24.1
We are not in Kenya now.
01:24.2
01:29.0
But we are here in Uganda. I arrived here yesterday night.
01:29.1
01:33.9
I was so tired yesterday.
01:34.0
01:38.8
Because I didn't have a proper breakfast. I ate just bread at 10 am and left.
01:38.9
01:43.7
I travelled till 9 pm to get here. Didn't eat anything all the way.
01:43.8
01:48.6
I only a piece of pineapple. Couldn't find anything to eat on the way.
01:48.7
01:53.5
I had to cross the border and reach here on time.
01:53.6
01:58.4
So i didn't have enough time to have lunch.
01:58.5
02:03.3
Now i am here in Kampala, the capital of Uganda.
02:03.4
02:08.2
We are in the capital city right now.
02:08.3
02:13.1
Kenya is a little developed nation. But Uganda is still developing.
02:13.2
02:18.0
So, it will be a lot lesser than Kenya
02:18.1
02:22.9
when it comes to the development.
02:23.0
02:26.9
I will tell you how I came here from Kenya.
02:27.0
02:31.8
I couldn't take a lot of videos in Kenya. Many places were prohibited.
02:31.9
02:36.7
That's why I couldn't film more.
02:36.8
02:41.6
Then I came to Uganda by crossing the border through a place called
02:41.7
02:46.5
Eldoret. The last video will be from Lodwar to Eldoret.
02:46.6
02:51.4
One of the Tamilian was working in the Eldoret hospital in the lab management.
02:51.5
02:56.3
I met him there
02:56.4
03:01.2
and took Covid test. It is mandatory to take covid test when you are travelling from one country to another.
03:01.3
03:06.1
So after taking Covid test, my friend invited me to have lunch in her home.
03:06.2
03:11.0
After a long time I got to eat Tamilnadu biryani.
03:11.1
03:15.9
It was very nice eating there.
03:16.0
03:20.8
After getting the Covid results, I started at 10 am
03:20.9
03:25.7
from Eldoret. Then came to kenya and uganda border
03:25.8
03:30.6
called as Balama border. I reached there by taking a shuttle.
03:30.7
03:35.5
Shuttle is like a share auto.
03:35.6
03:40.4
I had to travel nearly three hours to get to the border area.
03:40.5
03:45.3
It is just a normal process nothing much
03:45.4
03:50.2
Just passport checking and mainly Covid test
03:50.3
03:55.1
Covid test result is very important now.
03:55.2
04:00.0
They checked the authenticity of the Covid test in 4 different places.
04:00.1
04:04.9
There was a QR code. They checked it multiple times and then cleared.
04:05.0
04:09.8
And gave me the exit seal.
04:09.9
04:14.7
From there I came to Uganda. It was just a two minutes distance.
04:14.8
04:19.6
I came by renting a bike. He took me here.
04:19.7
04:24.5
After reaching Uganda, they asked about the purpose of my visit.
04:24.6
04:29.4
They asked me whether I am a tourist. I replied that I am a traveller. They asked me whether they both are same.
04:29.5
04:34.3
I was explaining them the difference.
04:34.4
04:39.2
They asked me where I wanted to go in Uganda.
04:39.3
04:44.1
I told Kampala and then I had no idea about the further schedule.
04:44.2
04:49.0
I told them I don't plan prior.
04:49.1
04:53.9
For getting visa approval you shouldn't say that way but I just wanted to see what they were about to say.
04:54.0
04:58.8
So I told them it is a unplanned trip
04:58.9
05:03.7
and will decide the place later.
05:03.8
05:08.6
Then the officials smiled and looked at my passport
05:08.7
05:13.5
and then gave me the entry seal.
05:13.6
05:18.4
Then they scanned my bag through the machine
05:18.5
05:23.3
When i went there were no one at the machine. I was little lucky in that.
05:23.4
05:28.2
There wasn't anyone to scan my bag.
05:28.3
05:33.1
They asked me what i had in my bag. I told them i had clothes, laptops and other devices.
05:33.2
05:38.0
They let me pass through and didn't scan my bag.
05:38.1
05:42.9
That is how I came to Uganda. I got a sim here and tried to activate it.
05:43.0
05:47.8
But it is not activated yet. I am using the hotel's wifi.
05:47.9
05:52.7
From the border I rented a bike, travelled for 5 hours to reach Kampala.
05:52.8
05:57.6
From Malaba to Kampala there are shuttles available.
05:57.7
06:02.5
Kind of share taxi. It costed around 1000 rupees.
06:02.6
06:07.4
There is a lot of difference in the Kenyan and Ugandan money.
06:07.5
06:12.3
Also there is a huge difference in Indian money and Ugandan money.
06:12.4
06:17.2
ten thousand, twenty thosand, forty thousand
06:17.3
06:22.1
Now I have around one and a half lakhs here.
06:27.1
06:31.9
Yesterday I had 4 Lakhs in my hand. I have spent them already. Now I have only the remaining.
06:32.0
06:36.8
Just for the share auto alone it costed up to fifty thousand.
06:36.9
06:41.7
Just from Malaba border to Kampala it costed fifty thousand
06:41.8
06:46.6
It is like spending more in this country. The hotel I am staying costs one lakh
06:46.7
06:51.5
Yesterday for the travel I have spent 50 thousand
06:51.6
06:56.4
For dinner I spent five thousand. The expense is higher here.
06:56.5
07:01.3
I can take in ATM but as of now I have
07:01.4
07:06.2
One and half lakh rupees. two fifty thousand bill and two twenty thousand and one ten thousand note.
07:06.3
07:11.1
This is the Ugandan money. You might think why do I have money in Lakhs and all
07:11.2
07:16.0
but the value of Ugandan money is very low. Teh value of one Indian rupee
07:16.1
07:20.9
is 50 Ugandan money.
07:21.0
07:25.8
On that basis, 100 indian rupee is
07:25.9
07:30.7
5000 here. So that is the huge difference.
07:30.8
07:35.6
So, you can say I have become rich. I have more money in this country.
07:35.7
07:40.5
Uganda is not a big country like Kenya. It is a small one.
07:40.6
07:45.4
But population is much higher. You will know if you see
07:45.5
07:50.3
See the vehicles on the road. It's morning now.
07:50.4
07:55.2
The time is 7.30 am. But see the traffic.
07:55.3
08:00.1
It is very populous. Uganda on the whole, the population is higher.
08:00.2
08:05.0
more Indian live here than in Kenya.
08:05.1
08:09.9
50 percent of business in Kenya is run by Indians.
08:10.0
08:14.8
but in Uganda it is higher than that.
08:14.9
08:19.7
This temple is also in Kenya.
08:19.8
08:24.6
We will go next time there.
08:24.7
08:29.5
There are a lot of places we can visit.
08:29.6
08:34.4
Just now i woke up. I need to order a coffee and proceed with the day.
08:34.5
08:38.0
The trip is still unplanned. Have to plan it.
09:14.4
09:17.9
Day before yesterday I came here. Now I am staying in a hostel.
09:18.0
09:22.8
Now I am yet to visit a place called Kasubi Royal Tomb. It is accredited by UNESCO.
09:22.9
09:27.7
We are going there. It is one of the heritage sites like Taj Mahal in our country.
09:27.8
09:32.6
So, we are heading there.
09:32.7
09:37.5
It is ancient. We'll see how it is. Just now I have booked a taxi.
09:37.6
09:42.4
A bike taxi. There is a special app for that here.
09:42.5
09:47.3
Like ola you can book it in. They will take you there.
09:47.4
09:52.2
I have told them to come here. The cost of the booking is around
09:52.3
09:57.1
2500 uganda shillings from my hostel
09:57.2
10:02.0
The name of the hostel is Acacia Villa. It costs around
10:02.1
10:06.9
750 per day. It is the cheapest here.
10:07.0
10:11.8
That is why I am staying here. We'll leave once the taxi arrives.
10:11.9
10:16.7
See the area. No one is there. The traffic also is very minimal.
10:16.8
10:21.6
This is the Ugandan flag. You can see a ostrich in it.
10:21.7
10:26.5
The national animal of Uganda is the Ostrich.
10:26.6
10:31.4
We can also see ostrichs here. My ride hasn't arrived yet.
10:31.5
10:32.7
I am on the way.
10:39.4
10:42.5
It will take around 15 mins to get there.
10:42.6
10:44.6
It is 5 and a half kilometres from here.
10:53.5
10:58.3
It just costs about 50 Indian rupees for five and half kilometres.
10:58.4
11:00.4
It is very low.
13:01.9
13:06.7
I am here at the Kasubi tombs. But it is closed now.
13:36.2
13:42.6
I am leaving from here and going to Owina Market. It is like a big farmers market in Uganda. We can explore that.
13:42.7
13:47.5
This place is closed. It will take one year to reopen itseems. The lady told she'll ask and let me know.
13:47.6
13:52.4
So I am leaving. I have booked another bike taxi. I am leaving in that.
13:52.5
13:57.3
From here to the market it costs up to 2700 uganda shillings. Nearly
13:57.4
14:02.2
53 indian rupees for eight kms. It is very cheap.
14:02.3
14:07.1
So, if you come to Kampala. Do not use uber and all.
14:07.2
14:12.0
The traffic is huge here. So use bike taxi. You will reach the destination soon.
14:12.1
14:16.9
Yesterday travelling from the hotel to hostel took me one and half hour.
14:17.0
14:21.8
