Hello guys. Good morning. The time is 7.45 am.
00:05.6
00:10.4
Yesterday it rained heavily. Twice.
00:10.5
00:15.3
When it stopped for a while
00:15.4
00:20.2
I called some people here and
00:20.3
00:25.1
removed the tent from there
00:25.2
00:30.0
and moved to the restaurant inside.
00:30.1
00:34.9
Very heavy rain. I haven't seen such before
00:35.0
00:39.8
The time is 7.45 am
00:39.9
00:44.7
It is sunny now. I was here when it rained for the second time.
00:44.8
00:49.6
I need to see how it is outside. It is so cold here.
00:49.7
00:54.5
The sleeping bag was good and it comforted me very much.
00:54.6
00:59.4
As soon as I opened the tent it is so cold. But it is very sunny outside.
00:59.5
01:04.3
Let's go out and see.
01:08.4
01:09.2
See I have pitched the tent here.
01:09.3
01:14.1
The restaurant is not in use so I have set it here.
01:14.2
01:19.0
See, there is no evidence of rain
01:33.8
01:38.6
There is really no evidence of rain. The soil of africa
01:38.7
01:43.5
absorbs rain very well. I have to leave this place now.
01:43.6
01:48.4
I had a great day here.
01:48.5
01:53.3
One good day, we went trekking, visited caves
01:53.4
01:58.2
saw heavy rain, camped inside and out.
01:58.3
02:03.1
I enjoyed everything very much.
02:03.2
02:08.0
From here I am going to Moroto
02:08.1
02:12.9
Moroto is a very cultural place.
02:13.0
02:17.8
It is very near by Kenya.
02:17.9
02:22.7
It is close to Lodwar, the place we visited.
02:22.8
02:27.6
That is where we are going.
02:27.7
02:32.5
I am going to bayley then to moroto.
02:47.3
02:52.1
After seeing sipi falls
02:52.2
02:57.0
I am heading to baylay, then to soroti and to
02:57.1
03:01.9
moroto. It is nearly 366 kms. Google showed nearly 5 hours.
03:02.0
03:06.8
But it will take one complete day to get there.
03:06.9
03:11.7
I stayed at a lodge there.
03:11.8
03:16.6
Next morning I rented a bike from Kalthunga tours.
03:16.7
03:21.5
We are going to visit Karamojong today.
03:21.6
03:26.4
They are a tribe native. We will see their culture and way of life
03:26.5
03:31.3
by going there. We can't go alone.
03:31.4
03:36.2
We need to take someone native with us.
03:36.3
03:41.1
So, with the help of Kalthunga tools, today we are
03:41.2
03:46.0

05:52.3
05:57.1
Look at the spikes.
05:57.2
06:02.0
When you shoot it doesn't come out of the body of the animal.
06:02.1
06:06.9
These are handmade by blacksmiths.
06:07.0
06:11.8

I don't know whether we can see them hunt. but we'll try. Here you can see the goats, cows and all.
06:41.3
06:46.1
This is a beer actually.

It is made of rice.
06:51.1
06:55.9
No, it is made of millets.
06:56.0
07:00.8
This is like alcohol drink. It is local.
07:00.9
07:05.7
We ferment the millet and then
07:05.8
07:10.6
keep it for one week and put some yeast
07:10.7
07:15.5
and let it stay for three days before bringing it here.
07:20.5
07:25.3
So, this cup of beer
07:25.4
07:30.2
costs 1000 shillings.
07:30.3
07:35.1
How is it? It is nice.
07:35.2
07:40.0
You want to try? Yes.
08:09.5
08:14.3
How long they ferment this beer?
08:14.4
08:19.2
The fermentation is for one week.
08:19.3
08:24.1
It is just like making the pizza dough.
08:24.2
08:29.0
They keep it and make it ready.
08:58.5
09:03.3
This is tobacco, which they use in cigarettes.
09:03.4
09:08.2
We are going to try tobacco now.
09:08.3
09:13.1
I have never tried it before in my life.
09:13.2
09:18.0
Is it made in china?
09:18.1
09:22.9
Yes, the knife is, but the handle is put here.
09:23.0
09:27.8
This is the weed snuff.
09:32.8
09:37.6
It is definitely weed snuff.
09:37.7
09:42.5
How it is? It is tough but
09:42.6
09:47.4
makes you feel mindful.
10:12.0
10:16.8
It makes your mind fly. You can see a lot. No, it is not like that.
10:16.9
10:21.7
It is very heavy but.
10:21.8
10:26.6
Okay. Thank you.
10:26.7
10:31.5
The weed snuff was very spicey and heavy.
10:31.6
10:36.4
This is the first time I am trying.
10:36.5
10:41.3
We are going to their home now.
10:41.4
10:46.2
We'll see everything there.
11:01.0
11:05.8
We are here at the place of Karamojong.
11:05.9
11:10.7
What is this one?
11:10.8
11:15.6
It is a toilet. You can see the latrine.
11:15.7
11:20.5
They place the toilet outside of every house actually.
11:20.6
11:25.4
The toilets are outer. Not inside the living area.
11:25.5
11:30.3
They place it outside only.
11:35.3
11:40.1
This is the home. They recently migrated here.
11:40.2
11:45.0
We are going in now. They have built this recently.
11:45.1
11:49.9
The compound is completely made of wood. Looks like olden times.
11:50.0
11:54.8
This is the entrance.
11:59.8
12:04.6
We bring the wood from the forest to make the house and fence.
12:04.7
12:09.5
It is very strong.
12:09.6
12:14.4
This is chicken house.
12:14.5
12:19.3
This is for storing coal.
12:19.4
12:24.2
The main business here is the cooking coal.
12:24.3
12:29.1
They save it here.
12:29.2
12:34.0
This is the house they live in. Made of completely dried patch and wood.
12:35.1
12:38.9
This is still in construction but this is finished.
12:39.0
12:43.8
We put these lines to lose the gravitational flow of water.
12:43.9
12:48.7
So water comes slowly and falls down.
12:48.8
12:53.6
This is the dried grass.
12:53.7
12:58.5
It will take five years to complete it.
12:58.6
13:03.4
You just collect the grass, dry it and tied it like this? Yes.
13:03.5
13:08.3
Okay. This is made of grass itseems.
13:08.4
13:13.2
dried and made.
13:13.3
13:18.1
This is an african dog.
13:18.2
13:23.0
Dogs mostly don't bark here?
13:23.1
13:27.9
They do. The entrance is made of red soil.
13:28.0
13:32.8
It is totally made of mud and wood sticks.
13:32.9
13:37.7
You need to bend down to reach another house.
13:42.7
13:47.5
This is also coal storage. Old house i think, the leaves are dry.
13:47.6
13:52.4
How often they changes these grass?
13:52.5
13:57.3
Once in five years.
13:57.4
14:02.2
It is been five years now.
14:02.3
14:07.1
This is a sign board here. They are using it as a door now.
14:12.1
14:16.9
Someone is inside.
14:17.0
14:21.8
They change the grass once in five years itseems.
14:26.8
14:31.6
This needs to be removed and then the new one to be inserted.
14:31.7
14:36.5
It is just like a pot, closed with a lid.
14:36.6
14:41.4
Inside that they keep the coal.
14:51.3
14:56.1
This is the house. I'll try if I can film inside.
15:15.8
15:20.6
They are grinding sunflower.
15:20.7
15:25.5
They get the seeds from it.
15:30.5
15:35.3
These are the sunflower seeds.
15:40.3
15:45.1
Can I see the grinding?
16:09.7
16:14.5
This is just like spinach.
16:19.5
16:24.3
Where do you use it? They use to put it in the grains.
16:24.4
16:29.2
This is for lunch.
16:29.3
16:34.1
Say hi to the camera.
16:39.1
16:43.9
What is his name?
16:44.0
16:48.8
kayley. You know what it means?
16:48.9
16:53.7
It means teeth.
16:53.8
16:58.6
Can we see inside of the house? Yes.
16:58.7
17:03.5
You can see it is made of sticks.
17:03.6
17:08.4
The house are of sticks and mud.
17:08.5
17:13.3
If you see here, it looks very different.
17:13.4
17:18.2
Since there is not much grass, the cows are been sent to graze elsewhere.
17:18.3
17:23.1
This place is for everyone's cows.
17:23.2
17:28.0
They tie or just leave it here.
17:28.1
17:32.9
They just leave it here.
17:42.8
17:47.6
They closed the entrance.
17:47.7
17:52.5
If it is closed with sticks, it means no one should enter their house.
18:07.3
18:12.1
This is the millet beer, this is how they make it.
18:12.2
18:17.0
This is the process. After these dry
18:17.1
18:21.9
they put the yeast, wait for three days and it is ready to drink.
18:22.0
18:26.8
This is the millet they have kept for drying.
18:26.9
18:31.7
This is the first step.
18:31.8
18:36.6
After that they mix yeast and prepare it.
18:36.7
18:41.5
They dry it in the sun.
18:46.5
18:51.3
We also eat this.
18:51.4
18:56.2
The taste will be so sour.
19:11.0
19:15.8
It is a little sour but healthy.
19:30.6
19:35.4
The stove looks normal like made of wood.
19:35.5
19:40.3
It is for frying it in the fire.
19:40.4
19:45.2
They tose it and cook.
19:45.3
19:50.1
This is how they make for people.
19:55.1
19:59.9
It is difficult to eat.
20:14.7
20:19.5
These are the corns. They are drying it.
20:19.6
20:24.4
In every house they have different things.
20:24.5
20:29.3
Yes. That is what makes it interesting when you visit us.
20:34.3
20:39.1
They are drying corn here.
20:39.2
20:44.0
In every house you can see, they do something different. In this house, they make corn
20:44.1
20:48.9
They do different things here and bring it together.
20:53.9
20:58.7
This is a storage. After harvesting corn from the garden they put it here.
20:58.8
21:03.6
This is the storage and you can also stay down.
21:03.7
21:08.5
How will it be? Warm at night? Yeah.
21:08.6
21:13.4
This is the entrance.
21:13.5
21:18.3
This one is not for sleeping.
21:18.4
21:23.2
This is also for storage.
21:28.2
21:33.0
So this floor is made of cowdung.
21:33.1
21:37.9
You smear the cow dung all over and it stays the same way
21:38.0
21:42.8
We do the same in our place too.
21:42.9
21:47.7
They have put cow dung all over. You can see.
21:47.8
21:52.6
We do it in olden days in our tradition too.
21:52.7
21:57.5
What is this vegetable?
21:57.6
22:02.4
Is this the room?
22:02.5
22:07.3
What they have inside?
22:07.4
22:12.2
Just for living. They don't store anything. Come and see.
22:22.1
22:26.9
This is for storage.
22:27.0
22:31.8
They have tamarind too.
22:36.8
22:41.6
This is the bathroom
22:41.7
22:46.5
They keep the bathing area alone inside. The toilet and all is kept outside.
22:46.6
22:51.4
Within this fence, their relatives and clan live.
22:51.5
22:56.3
Another family lives inside another fence like this.
22:56.4
23:01.2
Like how we live separately in a community
23:01.3
23:06.1
these people live with their family and relatives.
23:06.2
23:11.0
But now we people are living separately in separate homes.
23:11.1
23:15.9
That is the bathroom
23:16.0
23:20.8
and they have water can in the side with water.
23:20.9
23:25.7
Marriages are the same like in Kenya. They have to provide cow and things to the bride's family.
23:25.8
23:30.6
They bride's family take care of the function and meals.
23:30.7
23:35.5
But here one man can marry two women.
23:35.6
23:40.4
But they can't live under the same roof. They live in separate house nearby.
23:40.5
23:45.3
That is the practice here. They are building the fence here.
23:45.4
23:50.2
You can see how they are building it.
24:14.8
24:19.6
They are building a house here
24:24.6
24:29.4
See how quiet this place it. We must also maintain the same silence.
24:29.5
24:34.3
That is why I talk gently in my vlogs. We must respect their place.
24:34.4
24:39.2
We must not shout here.
24:39.3
24:44.1
That is why my voice tends to be lower in most videos.
24:44.2
24:49.0
That is how we get the feel of the place.
25:03.8
25:08.6
They use most young people to build it.
25:08.7
25:13.5
Old people arrange it itseems and young ones climb to set it above.
25:13.6
25:18.4
That is their work itseems. You can see a little girl setting the roof.
25:52.8
25:57.6
I will just have a sip.
26:07.5
26:12.3
Tastes like tobacco mixed in it.
26:22.2
26:27.0
This is very different than the one I drank. It is so sour.
26:27.1
26:31.9
They mix tobacco in it?
26:46.7
26:51.5
Means it's nice.
27:01.4
27:06.2
This is the house for sleeping. They have everything here.
27:06.3
27:11.1
Come inside.
27:11.2
27:16.0
This is the bed made of animal skin.
27:21.0
27:25.8
We'll go outside.
27:30.8
27:35.6
If you see, there is a small space of sleeping inside. Since the kid cried I came out.
27:35.7
27:40.5
There are lot of other things inside.
27:40.6
27:45.4
Beer and all is inside.
27:45.5
27:50.3
They sit in the real cow skin.
27:55.3
28:00.1
This is real cow's skin.
28:19.8
28:24.6
Is this neem tree? yes it is.
28:24.7
28:29.5
See how small the neem leaves are. Can you break a branch?
28:34.5
28:39.3
See how small the leaves are.
28:39.4
28:44.2
It is very smaller than in India.
28:44.3
28:49.1
It will be much bigger in India right.
28:49.2
28:54.0
They use this as medicine? Yes.
28:54.1
28:58.9
If you have headache or any illness, you get that neem juice.
28:59.0
29:03.8
They make the juice out of neem leaves.
29:03.9
29:08.7
They use it as medicine.
29:08.8
29:13.6
every house have this neem. You see there is papaya also.
29:13.7
29:18.5
Here, they use neem for every illness.
29:18.6
29:23.4
every house has a neem tree here. I noticed it only now.
29:23.5
29:28.3
See, everywhere.
29:28.4
29:33.2
for medicine they use it.
29:38.2
29:43.0
The same taste here also.
29:43.1
29:47.9
They fetch water outside? Yeah in a nearby village.
29:48.0
29:52.8
I will show you where it is.
29:57.8
30:02.6
Is this for drinking?
30:02.7
30:07.5
Yeah for drinking.
30:07.6
30:12.4
The neem is so bitter.
30:27.2
30:32.0
In the common place of this family, they tied all the cows in the centre.
30:32.1
30:36.9
In the market we went to,
