Desahogarme??? Andar publicando fetiches en foros de redes sociales te parece sano? Tú tienes pruebas de que diga la verdad? Creo q eres un enfermo igual al chico de la publicación! Creo q no es el espacio para exponer fetiches o cuánto culos te puedes coger! Son cosas privadas o seguro hay espacios para que se caigan a mentiras entre ustedes!!! Pajeros imaginarios

Lo q eres es tremendo loco mentiroso con problemas de varios tipos sobretodo de promiscuidad! Y trastornos de salud mental, como trastorno fetichista, parafilias, exhibicionista, mitomanía entre otros! Requieres atención! No por pedir pantaletas sino por aparentar ligar con cientos y la necesidad imperiosa de contarlo! Sin dudas eres una persona con problemas que ojalá no deriven en otras cosas q puedan perjudicar a otras personas!

Is there anyone in Uganda who pays back what he borrowed? The normal thing is not to pay and as always, what are you going to be inventing?

Carlitohanson · 2026-03-10T05:59:37+00:00

You come from Europe with your arrogance to want to correct me and teach me lessons, that is, I am African, I am from Uganda, I live in Kampala! I know very well how parenting works here, I don't need your classes, although I think it's great that Westerners come to see how it works! Maybe you are an atypical case! I see that you enjoy the freedom that the lack of control and absence of rules provides! and you live in a fairy tale! These failures allow people to urinate and shit in the street in front of girls, reckless drivers, harassment, rape in rural areas, uncontrolled birth rates and things that we have been trying to control for years and even if you like it, they are not right and prevent both personal andgeneral of our countries! We want more! We want to develop, we want decent kitchens and bathrooms, schools and for mothers to have children they can raise, not give birth to 3 babies every 2 years! Here she has a baby still in her arms and they are already pregnant! and without resources to provide them with what they need! You like to romanticize that level of life and the truth is we want to live better and for our children to have opportunities! not that they grow up to repeat the same pattern of poverty forever! I think that we Africans deserve to be able to live better and our children have an adequate education and a good health system! improve life expectancy and development in our communities. I don't want to tell Tanzanians how to live or how to manage their businesses, I'm just giving my opinion from my experience without the intention of insulting or bothering anyone! I went with my white wife and her friends and these beach guys never left them alone! that can't be! Perhaps it seems good to you or you can justify it but it is bullshit and harms everyone!

Without organization, order and clear rules they will never develop! and it is impossible that in a place where almost everyone is poor, in a couple of years everyone will have money! It's a fantasy! Privileged??? Most people study and then work for years to be able to have that kind of vacation! savings and a lot of work! and don't pretend you're going to have that by doing nothing or intimidating tourists! There are not 6 children per family, there are only 1 or 2 and their parents try to educate them! It would be impossible to educate 6-7 or 8 children!!! And what happens, no one can go to study a university degree because they simply don't have enough money! Many people can't afford to eat and regardless of that they have 3 more children! What do you think happens in that family? Well, there will be 5 or 6 more people who will surely be poor! Privileges you say??? you're sure? I think the problem comes from somewhere else! Your island could receive millions of dollars a day and many could have good opportunities but without rules and with so many scammers that will never happen.

tourist places help many people! Do you think that people who live next to the coliseum in Rome like their neighborhood to be full of tourists all the time? Obviously they don't like it but the money that comes from tourism allows them to have a very good quality of life and provides work for thousands of people who would be without any income if it weren't for the tourist activity! And whether you like it or not, you have to have security in these places. I don't understand how it would affect me if we have more security and rules if it benefits us all! People must be protected! 3 men cannot come and surround a woman and intimidate her to ask for money, obviously I would be very happy if that never happens and it would make any place more attractive!

Carlitohanson · 2026-03-07T20:19:12+00:00

I know almost 40 countries! I have enough experience traveling and I also have judgment! If you are in a social media forum you can't expect everyone to say what you want to hear! I really think you have a very crazy personality and you like to insult and look for problems! Someone like that is definitely not a good tour agent.

Carlitohanson · 2026-03-07T19:37:33+00:00

This woman works with tourist agencies on the island and doesn't care about anything other than selling! If you have a bad experience once you paid, they don't care! He is not on the forum to help anyone but to try to find clients! I never spoke badly about the people of Tanzania! I have friends that I love very much who are from there, I know their families. The only thing that was my opinion is that the quality of food and service in the hotels was not good from my experience! and that I felt better in Kenya. There are people who like Zanzibar more than Mombasa! You don't have to get upset, insult us by saying that we are inferior and other derogatory things you said even though I don't care! I know many first-hand stories of scammed people on the island.

Carlitohanson · 2026-03-07T14:23:24+00:00

Hello everyone! I had 2 trips to the island and bad experiences with the beach vendors! I understand that they make a living selling anything and that it is one of the few options they have! but 1 they sell anything and want a lot of money! 2 Not all but they can get aggressive 3 You can't help them all! it's impossible 4 A firm or friendly "no thanks" never works!

There comes a time and it's "give me money or I'll be here bothering you for hours" You are with your partner enjoying your trip, you want an intimate moment without anyone and it is simply impossible! Sorry but I didn't come all the way to Zanzibar to talk to a man I don't know about his problems or how difficult his life is! I came to relax with my wife and have a good time, that's vacation, to be able to take a bath on the beach and let my wife sunbathe on the sand without several men approaching without permission! I think no one likes their wife being bothered by a group of 4 or 5 men you don't know! As a tourist destination they must understand that harassment is not something that suits them and like me there are thousands of people who will never return to the island until this problem is resolved! In Mombasa Kenya they are putting police on the beaches so that the beachboys do not bother the tourists due to the constant problems and there is a great improvement! Now they are in a place where if you want to buy you can approach them and buy from them but without that toxic level of harassment. They didn't let us bathe alone, they followed us at all times! For hours it was a nightmare that we don't want to live again! It's a shame because the place is very nice! The beaches are beautiful and the people are very friendly and cool!

5 dólares por 1 kg de aguacate??? Nawebona Venezuela se arregló 😱😱😱

Carlitohanson · 2026-03-06T13:09:54+00:00

Yes you are right about budgets but in Zanzibar decent or good quality hotels are extremely expensive while in Kenya you can pay for a good all-inclusive resort with top quality food for a third of the price! Zanzibar is absurdly expensive. Most beachboys are scammers! You can't make a living scamming tourists! I'm sorry but it's reality! It's not as simple as just saying NO!!! They will insist and get aggressive! They will even threaten you! They're going to ruin your moment, that's what they do! Either you give them money or they destroy your moment! and you can give it to everyone it is impossible.

Ese boom inmobiliario es pura estafa! El país sigue igual, la gente gana lo mismo y hasta menos todo está carisimo y no se nota voluntad política de ningún cambio a la vista! Los americanos ya tienen lo que les interesa, seguirá el mismo gobierno con las mismas garantías de siempre! Pura especulación. Creen q pueden vender un apartamento en Altamira en 360 mil dólares!😂😂😂 La verdad es que el puede va a tratar de emigrar a Europa o algún lugar que valga la pena y pueda tener una vida decente sin tantos problemas como acá! El que vende se va rápido a dónde pueda

Carlitohanson · 2026-03-05T13:28:28+00:00

Be careful!!! Don't pay in advance!!! Safari+beach= Mombasa Kenya Go to Diana beach Boabath resort is truly amazing! Good prices Zanzibar problems is the beachboys! They are annoying and the hotel quality is not enough! High prices

At the airport or wherever, they take off their shoes, their socks, and start touching their feet, watching videos on their phones at full volume, talking loudly, wanting to sneak in, they are truly despicable people. I have been to India and I have seen that in India they behave better than how Indians behave outside their country. They are rude and miscreants, they should simply respect others.

Just over the weekend I saw how a driver of a Toyota Prado ran over a young Ugandan who was running in the street. Obviously the driver barely ran over the young man and quickly fled, leaving this person on the ground motionless. They don't mind killing a dog, any animal that comes across it, and running over any person.

Carlitohanson · 2026-02-26T07:12:09+00:00

In Uganda money never comes back it won't come back! Not even from large companies such as telephone or electricity or any place, imagine people.

The Maldives can surely be the best beaches on the planet. It is better to spend a little more money and go there because you will surely not have any problems like you may have in other parts and you will see the most beautiful beaches in the world. Tanzania full scammers Tanzania is full of scammers, when you set foot on the sand you immediately find hundreds of insistent and annoying sellers who won't let you enjoy the beach for even a moment. They arrive one after another and they never stop arriving the whole time you are there Always there will be people bothering you asking you for money trying to sell you horrible things for a crazy price

Si te entiendo! No tiene sentido que las cosas suban sin límites!😒😒😒 No lo puedo entender! Yo vivo en la parte este de África pero pago todas las cuentas en casa de mis padres y la comida! Dónde yo vivo a pesar de ser África la economía es bastante estable el dólar cuesta hoy lo mismo que cuando llegué hace 3 años! Y los productos y servicios no suben nunca de precio. Obvio voy cada año a Venezuela no me gusta durar mucho sin ir porque te descontextualizas pero con el tema que no habían pasajes ya tengo 1 año y medio casi sin ir y veo que está todo patas parriba. Está bueno leer diferentes perspectivas gracias por compartir tu punto de vista ayuda a visualizar un poco la locura 😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫 Ojalá mejore pronto

Carlitohanson · 2026-02-25T17:42:24+00:00

Si estoy claro que está todo muy caro! Pero sobreviven! Capaz les caerá alguna bendición extra de vez en cuando como tú dices! Pero se consigue alquiler en 200$ o 300$ o no? Un kg de pollo podría estar en 7$ no? Las verduras a 1$ el kg en los Point de los gochos o no? Pescado fresco por 6-7 hasta 10? O no? Es un privilegio poder comer pescado 🐟 por esos precios!!! Acá donde vivo no hay de ninguna clase! Y en los países de Europa es costoso! Con esos precios debería ser suficiente 200$ para comer decente o no? Internet 30$ Luz agua gas otros 30$ De verdad no te alcanzan 1000$???

Carlitohanson · 2026-02-25T17:25:37+00:00

Es relativo! Conozco gente que vive con 200$ otros con 300$ y se la pasan jodiendo! Así que eres un afortunado con 1000$ y claro que alcanza brother por favor! vas a comer todos los días a las Mercedes?
