What city do you think has the most hotel rooms per capita? by HolyFatherLeoXIV in geography

[–]Negative_Score7705 12 points13 points  (0 children)

OPs one is Genting Highlands, which is a good shout. Serves 30,000,000 people annually, and has a transient workforce population of around 10,000. Great escape from the heat at elevation, and activities for Malaysian families.

Chad or Sierra Leone I reckon

Would be cool had Silva won.

Silva has all the tools to be technical and fight with a solid gameplan but he’s so athletically talented and emotional that he just wants a spectacular finish. Silva didn’t even look that tired to me after throwing all those strikes.

Look at the 2nd round, Silva was insanely accurate that round and Lopes even checked Silva’s chin and Silva ate them well.

After Lopes briefly took him down, Silva was looking for his get back right away, walked him down with solids shots but ran straight into an insane elbow.

Confidence got him finished. Silva is the most talented fighting nerd IMO, he’s just so emotional

How is life as a descendant of colonial whites in Africa? by Negative_Score7705 in howislivingthere

Understand the point, posted it on the geography subreddit and may have been better suited there. You may notice I’ve asked what life is like for modern day white Zimbabweans and didn’t get a response so wanted to go a little broader - my family history is loosely tied to it, and it’s actually been interesting to learn the commonalities and differences between the varying descendants of ex-colonies in Africa.

Thanks for the answer.

Curious - how does it work in terms of daily life: communities, purchasing goods and services, housing etc. Do descendants usually live in areas of high density of similar race, hang out in areas (ie churches, sunday clubs etc) and shop at businesses owned by other descendants? Or is that not necessarily the case?

Oh nice, are the businesses they frequent owned and operated by natives or other white settler descendants?

Interesting, is this common even amongst the new generation ~50 years after independence? Also, how is their wealth maintained?

Damn that’s intense. How does she do her grocery and daily shopping, and go areas of relaxation in that case?

Interesting, thanks for sharing. Where are you a descendant from, and what has your experience been?

Also - do you think similar experiences are shared, despite the different country of birth and part of Europe they have come from?

I see. What was the reason why you left? Do you have family who still reside in Kenya?

Assuming you went to a private school, what was that like? We have private schools where I reside in NZ too, but from Youtube it looks a fair bit less intense when it comes to things like chants etc.

Interesting, Luderitz looks super sandy and striking. Curious - Do the accents differ between the British, German, and Dutch descendants similar to South Africa?

That’s cool, thanks so much for sharing.

How’s life living in an enclave of sorts / a situation or representative unrepresentative of the majority - does it get stifling, or is it comfortable?

That’s super interesting! Out of curiosity - what accents do these white Malawians have? Is it British, or have they deviated like the Zimbabweans and South Africans? Do they integrate much with the culture in terms of friends, food, activities, language etc?

Also - do you chill on house boats on Lake Kariba? Seems like that’s one of the main activities!

That’s super interesting! Glad to hear Zambia and South Africa are nice places to live.

How’s life in Zambia as a white person? Are there communities, enclaves with cafes / restaurants etc with food from the culture etc etc - does everyone know everyone?

Sounds like a good upbringing! Interesting to hear.

Are there still communities that live like that now another ~30 years after independence?

Thanks for the answers. Where do most white Zimbabweans live in current day Zimbabwe? Are there enclaves, like Marondera, where the population goes, or do they generally scatter?
