00:05.0
00:10.8
We are in Uganda now. Since 3 days I didn't film here. Doing it now only.
00:10.9
00:15.7
Now we're heading to the centre of the earth. The equator.
00:15.8
00:20.6
The place where north and southern hemisphere separates.
00:20.7
00:25.5
That is where we are going. It is a very famous place in Uganda.
00:25.6
00:30.4
This equator is crossing 13 places in the world. Just in Africa alone it passes through 4000 kms
00:30.5
00:35.3
To the centre is where we are going
00:35.4
00:40.2
They do certain science experiments there. How things react differently in the north, south
00:40.3
00:45.1
and also in the centre. They will explain everything to us.
00:45.2
00:50.0
This is where we are heading. We are going along with another Tamilian here.
00:50.1
00:54.9
I will show him in the next video. In just 3 kms we will reach equator.
00:55.0
00:59.8
We can see the experiments there. After that
00:59.9
01:04.7
we can witness the Ugandan culture by seeing a wedding.
01:04.8
01:09.6
I have gone to a wedding here. Will attach that clips also in this video.
01:09.7
01:14.5
It looks like it is gonna rain now. You can see the clouds.
01:14.6
01:19.4
If you see in Africa, especially in Uganda at least once in a week
01:19.5
01:24.3
it rains it seems. Just 2 days ago it rained. Now again it is starting to.
01:24.4
01:29.2
It seems to be that way. The clouds are so dark.
01:30.7
01:34.1
I think it is going to rain. Before that, we will try to get there.
01:34.2
01:39.0
I will show you how it is. This is the first time for me to experience such things.
01:39.1
01:43.9
There is a similar place in Kenya too. But not like in Uganda. They show you live experiments and so on.
01:44.0
01:48.8
In Kenya, it is just like a door. But it is much more here.
01:48.9
01:53.7
So, we will go here and see.
01:53.8
01:58.6
This is Uganda's equator. That is where we are going.
02:13.4
02:18.2
This is the equator line.
02:18.3
02:23.1
This side is the south, that one is north and here is the centre line.
02:23.2
02:28.0
See it is written as 0 latitude here. This is the centre line.
02:28.1
02:32.9
This is the centre of the earth. Here is a restaurant.
02:33.0
02:37.8
The line runs through the restaurant.
02:37.9
02:42.7
It goes straight.
02:42.8
02:44.7
This is north and this side is south.
02:44.8
02:49.6
We'll see what kind of experiments they do here to tell it's north and south
02:49.7
02:54.5
There are a few experiments, we will do them and see.
02:54.6
02:59.4
We need to pay for it too.
03:15.4
03:19.0
We are heading to the north
03:19.1
03:23.9
This is the northern end.
03:24.0
03:28.8
Here, when you pour water, it swirls on the right side.
03:48.5
03:53.3
We'll see whether the water is swirling in the clockwise direction.
03:53.4
03:58.2
He is pouring the water. I think it is hard for us to find out by seeing.
03:58.3
04:03.1
He closes the down pipe with the help of his hand.
04:03.2
04:08.0
He stops the motion of the water and makes it still.
04:08.1
04:12.9
He keeps a flower to makes us understand the direction.
04:13.0
04:17.8
See, the flower is rotating in the right hand side. We are in the north.
04:32.6
04:37.4
If you see, in India and all the water flows in the north direction, even if you flush in the toilet.
04:37.5
04:42.3
But here when you go to the opposite side
04:42.4
04:47.2
it rotates in the anticlockwise direction. Even if you flush in the bathroom.
04:47.3
04:52.1
I haven't checked it yet but should. Now we are in the southern side.
04:57.1
05:01.9
See he makes the water still and then opens the tap
05:06.9
05:11.7
See the flower rotates in the anticlockwise direction.
05:11.8
05:16.6
You can see here. We came here from there.
05:16.7
05:21.5
it rotates in the left direction.
05:21.6
05:26.4
Now we'll see how it is reacting in the centre.
05:26.5
05:31.3
See for yourself how it works in the centre
05:31.4
05:36.2
This is the center place. 0 latitude. you can see the line passing through.
05:36.3
05:41.1
We'll see how it works here.
05:41.2
05:46.0
The same way he makes the water still
05:55.9
06:00.7
The water is flowing but the flower doesn't rotate at all.
06:48.1
06:49.7
I am in the centre now
06:49.8
06:54.6
If you check your weight in the weighing machine it will show a 3 percent
06:54.7
06:59.5
lesser than usual. If you are 100 then it will show a three less
06:59.6
07:04.4
It looks so amazing
07:04.5
07:09.3
You can also get a certificate quoting you have been to the center of the earth.
07:09.4
07:14.2
They are charging 10000 shillings for the certificate
07:14.3
07:19.1
You can get a certificate. I am also getting one.
07:19.2
07:24.0
It is so nice here.
07:24.1
07:28.9
I want to get a certificate too. Just for a namesake
07:38.8
07:43.6
This is the certificate.
07:48.6
07:53.4
This is the proof that we have been here
07:53.5
07:58.3
I have got it.
08:07.2
08:08.1
I will write my name in it too.
08:13.1
08:17.9
For the experiment as well as the certificate, they charge around 20000 shillings.
08:18.0
08:22.8
I will pay him now.
08:32.7
08:37.5
I am leaving from here. Got the certificate. Once I take a photo I will leave.
08:37.6
08:42.4
We are here to fill petrol.
08:42.5
08:47.3
The rate of petrol is 3640 shillings here. The rate of diesel is 3990 shillings.
08:47.4
08:52.2
I am heading to a wedding now.
08:52.3
08:57.1
I am here at the wedding venue in Uganda. You can see all the culture and the way of their marriage here.
08:57.2
09:02.0
Since western influence is more here. The way of the wedding is like that.
09:02.1
09:06.9
They follow the same culture like US and UK.
09:07.0
09:11.8
Christians are a majority here. Then Muslims. There are some Hindu temples also.
09:11.9
09:16.7
Getting married in this country is a little bit tough.
09:16.8
09:21.6
For people here it is tough. You need to have a lot of money to get married.
09:21.7
09:26.5
That is the situation here. If you see in our country,
09:26.6
09:31.4
The bride's family give dowry to the groom's family
09:31.5
09:36.3
but here it is not like that.
09:36.4
09:41.2
If you are marrying here, the groom has to pay the bride price here.
09:41.3
09:46.1
To the parents of the bride. Be it a cow or goat or whatever her parents ask.
09:46.2
09:51.0
If you can provide that then you can marry the girl. How western influence came here is
09:51.1
09:55.9
after school. They educate their children till school.
09:56.0
10:00.8
After school the child is independent. They should study college on their own.
10:00.9
10:05.7
Everything will be left to them.
10:05.8
10:10.6
That is why people don't get married here. They mostly live together.
10:10.7
10:15.5
They live together without getting married. That is the culture here.
10:15.6
10:20.4
They have children before marriage and they live under the same roof.
10:20.5
10:25.3
When they get married their kids also get to witness their marriage.
10:25.4
10:30.2
That is how it happens here. But the marriage I went
10:30.3
10:35.1
is the couple lived together and now they got married. They didn't have any children.
10:35.2
10:40.0
When they are getting married the groom must not only provide for the girl's family but also
10:40.1
10:44.9
do other things. This culture is different. In our place only the families provide.
10:45.0
10:49.8
Like the family treat, they have something here.
10:49.9
10:54.7
How they do it is.
10:54.8
10:59.6
If someone is getting married, their family and friends must contribute as much as they can.
10:59.7
11:04.5
They fund the bride and groom. They make the complete budget for everything.
11:04.6
11:09.4
For every single expense they make their budget.
11:09.5
11:14.3
After making the budget, they share the amount of expense within themselves.
11:14.4
11:19.2
Be it friends, relatives, collegues,
11:19.3
11:24.1
everyone will share the expense.
11:24.2
11:29.0
Many people have funded their marriage. Including the company they worked for.
11:29.1
11:33.9
Our tamil people run the company, they have also donated a part to the marriage.
11:34.0
11:38.8
A lot of pooled amount goes into the marriage.
11:38.9
11:43.7
Because of this issue, many of them won't get married at all.
11:43.8
11:48.6
Including the dress they wear, everything is
11:48.7
11:53.5
rented. Be it wedding saree,
11:53.6
11:58.4
or dress everything is rented. But in our place we buy the saree.
11:58.5
12:03.3
This is how the practise is here.
12:03.4
12:08.2
If you have any doubt about this, do comment below. I will tell it in the next video.
12:08.3
12:13.1
Another thing a recent scam happened to me here.
12:13.2
12:18.0
I don't know whether it is a scam or that person is very talented.
12:18.1
12:22.9
After seeing the wedding, we went to church and while coming back from there
12:23.0
12:27.8
they had a reception function.
12:27.9
12:32.7
As soon as we parked the car, a few of them photographed us.
12:32.8
12:37.6
They clicked everyone.
12:37.7
12:42.5
After reception while leaving that place,
12:42.6
12:47.4
a few of them followed us.
12:47.5
12:52.3
They bought this photo.
12:52.4
12:57.2
The four of us. If they take pictures at a wedding they use them in the album.
12:57.3
13:02.1
Here there were two photographers clicking us.
13:02.2
13:07.0
In that they have framed seven photos
13:07.1
13:11.9
and bought it to us.
13:12.0
13:16.8
They were compelling us to buy these photos.
13:16.9
13:21.7
Per photo costs around 20000 shillings.
13:21.8
13:26.6
They gave us 7 in framed and 10 printed photos.
13:26.7
13:31.5
They told me this is yours. You told us to capture and all.
13:31.6
13:36.4
I thought they were capturing for a wedding but it was totally different.
13:36.5
13:41.3
If you go to africa and if they capture your photos
13:41.4
13:46.2
please tell them no. Else you have to buy those photos from them.
13:46.3
13:51.1
But I have also seen
13:51.2
13:56.0
that when we didn't want to buy this frame, they took out the photo in the top and replaced it with another.
13:56.1
14:00.9
They do all these kind of things.
14:01.0
14:05.8
But when they gave me this I informed my other friends about this.
14:05.9
14:10.7
Do not buy this. Because I have already seen them replacing the photos.
14:10.8
14:15.6
I told them they are cheating this way. So they just gave us one photo.
14:15.7
14:20.5
We got only one. For 10000 shillings.
14:25.5
14:30.3
We didn't accept the other photos. They didn't inform me anything about it earlier.
14:30.4
14:35.2
We just got one and didn't get the others.
14:35.3
14:40.1
Just as a souvenir. When you come here just be careful of all these things.
14:40.2
14:45.0
They know how to cheat and earn.
14:45.1
14:49.9
You need to careful. This is what happened to me.
14:50.0
14:54.8
So, you would have found it very different. This wedding and this culture.
14:54.9
14:59.7
I am staying in a Tamilian's home.
14:59.8
15:04.6
I am staying here for 2 days now. I found a lot of things different.
15:04.7
15:09.5
That is why i want to show you. This is their house.
15:09.6
15:14.4
The current bill payment in this place is not like note down and paying like in our place
15:14.5
15:19.3
they have a remote control. This is that.
15:19.4
15:24.2
This updates everything. You can also change the battery.
15:29.2
15:34.0
is just like the digital metre in our country. But a little different.
15:34.1
15:38.9
This is kind of rechargeable like we do in our mobiles.
15:39.0
15:43.8
The same way there is a number to this device
15:43.9
15:48.7
you can recharge and then use it.
15:48.8
15:53.6
You can get the units needed from online. They give you a code number
15:53.7
15:58.5
by using that you can load this device.
15:58.6
16:03.4
In this house, now they have 11Kwh.
16:03.5
16:08.3
If it goes below 10 you will hear a beep sound.
16:08.4
16:13.2
If it comes to 0, then the power goes off here.
16:13.3
16:18.1
Only if you purchase online, you get the power back.
16:18.2
16:23.0
Then only you get power. See how digital this country has become.
16:23.1
16:27.9
Whatever they are just developing, all these intiatives are good.
16:28.0
16:32.8
The quality, road and all are very good. This thing is so unique and different.
16:32.9
16:37.7
I think we will have this in India soon too.
16:37.8
16:42.6
I looks like our Indian home only.
16:42.7
16:47.5
We have rice here
16:52.5
16:57.3
some vegetables, chapati
16:57.4
17:02.2
with some other subji
17:02.3
17:07.1
A kenyan did this for me. She works here.
17:07.2
17:12.0
Since people are working here
17:12.1
17:16.9
they keep people to take care of this work and all. They use to come early in the morning.
17:17.0
17:21.8
and clean the home, cook and wash, they do everything.
17:21.9
17:26.7
Just now she did everything and left.
17:26.8
17:31.6
The time is 4pm now.
17:31.7
17:36.5
She came here in the morning and left by 4. This is the room where I stay.
17:36.6
17:41.4
From here, you can see outside.
17:41.5
17:46.3
The balcony view will be nice. This appartment
17:46.4
17:51.2
has more indians. I am also staying here.
17:51.3
17:56.1
In the next video, there will be more traveling in Uganda.
17:56.2
18:01.0
From tomorrow, I am starting to travel. I hope you found this video useful.
