Can Poverty Excuse Lying and Scamming ? 🇳🇦 vA 153

I ride from Rehoboth to Kalkrand and to Mariental, in Namibia, in Africa.
On the endless emptiness of Southern Namibia, in the very remote town of Kalkrand, I find a very surprising fancy lodge serving delicious food.
Kalkrand is very poor and some local kids behave in a very strange way with me, as they pretend that the only cheap hotel is full, but I easily find out that it was a big lie… what were they up to with this lie?
Finally, the next day I ride to Mariental, where I stay in a lodge with friendly hosts, and as I tour Mariental on my trike, I meet a lot of very cheerful and friendly local folks.

  1. Congratulations on crossing the Capricorn, great milestone. Twende sanaaaàa

  2. Watching your adventure is so enjoyable and gives a great sense of how it is to travel by bike. I admire your sense of independence, and adventure. Thank you for sharing your adventures!

  3. I am asking the 259,000 followers to consider supporting Yves by becoming a patron. Several months ago, I decided to become a patron when I realized the enjoyment I got from watching his travels. If Yves could get 2% of the 259K subscribers it would make a world of difference for him. So I am challenging all you subscribers out there to become a patron, to keep this channel going and Yves well-fed! By the way, I do not know Yves just trying to be fair and help him. Thank you!

  4. Those kids did not look like scammers at all. If you see a child with that reflector, it means they are there to help. Those kids were so so kind & respectful. I’m sure that manager said to the kids it’s full because of their appearance..

  5. Hi Yves, I am following you on youtube since you have been in Republika Srpska. Even my wife says somethimes gooood morrning my friiiends 😀 I am a big fan of you and also little jaloice I am not able to do that(my wife won't let me😂). My question to you. You don't feel anoyed to tell every day couple times the same story? "Where you come from, where you go and what are you riding?" 😅

  6. That lady who served you salad and rice seems to be a good wife! Would you be willing to carry her along?

  7. But with all that sunshine, why dont they us the solar system. Having no electricity in 2024 anywhere in the workd is not fine

  8. I DONT SEE ANY SCAMMING THERE THOSE BOYS HELPED YOU PLEASE DONT PAINT MY COUNTRY IN A BAD WAY

  9. I don't think the kids lied,they just gave you the information the manager gave them, maybe he thought they were intruders. They were just trying to help.

  10. I wish you could post 3d pics to Google Earth at some of your most remote locations

  11. I don't think the kids were scamming that was a restricted accommodation you were staying at if only you asked why.

  12. In Namibia 🇳🇦 they call Soda a cool drink 😂😂😅 but for me,for my Travel Experience plus my good understanding of the World COOL DRINK it's mean any drink that cool! Let teach you my Namibian people,,,Coca-Cola, Fanta,Sprite,and all other soft drinks are not cool drinks but SODA plz! @am Enos Martin Orlale from Henties Bay Town, Namibia
