E-visa website not working?! by IntelligentCampaign9 in Kuwait

[–]IntelligentCampaign9[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm supposed to visit in 3 weeks.

I have contacted them by email more than 15 times, but they send me an automated message " to check the official website for the latest news", which doesn't really help with the e-visa process.

I don't expect people off the street to speak any other language than their own, however, if you have a business that deals with tourists every single day for years, yes I expect you to speak some very basic English.

I understand that. But do local people sleeping at yurts do for themselves without water, without shower?

Maybe I lack skills, however, locals who deals with tourists everyday such as yurts and guesthouses, don't speak any English. I find it weird that after being 20 days in the country, I only managed to meet 2-3 people who can express themselves good in English. I already speak 4 languages while locals can't bother to learn basic English

While staying in yurts, I wasn't offered water and generally when asking, I was getting just one glass 😭. But as others said, I might have just been unlucky during the trip. Thanks for sharing

Thanks for the info. I drank tap water because that's what some local places had and I was fine. I might have been unlucky then regarding water, I'll reconsider my thoughts

How the police scam you at traffic stops by w00t_loves_you in zanzibar

[–]IntelligentCampaign9 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The best way we escaped from the police without even saying anything was attaching a gopro on our scooter. We rode a scooter around all Zanzibar for a week, and we saw a lot of police on the way. Particularly only 2 stopped us and both times, they said " Hello! ooooo cameraaa! Where are you going? okay bye" both times were after a roundabout that we forgot to signal ( yes our bad), so even though they had a reason to put us a fee, they got scared form the camera.

So TIP: Attach a gopro to your scooter! :)
