another beautiful day today we are in
the biggest city of Benin the border
crossing was horrible we still have to
deal with a lot of bureaucratic I don't
like big African cities but good news is
that we are going to a smaller city or
or a village I'm not gonna reveal where
but I'm very excited about this place
let's go just 30 minutes from the
biggest city of this West African
country lies an unknown pearl of the
Dark Continent
we're ready to go
[Music]
all right I think it's time to finally
reveal where we are heading
we're going to the biggest lake village
in Africa Ghana VA Gambia is one of the
few lake villages in the world it is
over 400 years old and the villagers are
often referred to as water man over
30,000 people from the toughy no tribal
live here and this village is also
called the Venice of Africa I think
that's pretty accurate I unsuccessfully
tried to find lake villages that would
be bigger in area or population which
definitely makes gonna be at the biggest
lake village in the world there's only
one means of transportation in this
village and it's this it's called
B dock there are no other boats nothing
else just be talk everyone is havin
burek every family's having pirogue most
of the people here are fishermen they
are fishing and the women are bringing
the fish to the city they're selling the
fish and afterwards they buy other stuff
in the city
pineapples fruits vegetables that's the
life of this village in a nutshell now
let me tell you a story of how this
village was founded in the 17th century
the Portuguese came to Benin which at
the time was called the kingdom of
Dahomey their intention was to enslave
the tribes living in Dahomey one tribe
was pretty smart
the Fond tribe they made a deal with the
Portuguese they would capture people
from other tribes for the Portuguese in
exchange for their freedom
one tribe was even smarter though with a
toughy no tribe they knew that there was
only one thing sacred for the terrible
phone tribe water so they pack their
things and built a village on the knock
away Lake since the bloodthirsty font
tribe couldn't harm anyone who lived on
a sacred water they left the Tofino
tribe alone the smart stuff ena tribe
avoided slavery and they still live
happily on the lake very smart people
maybe that's why everything works here
even 300 or 400 years after that
yes everything works here which makes
gonorrhea even more fascinating the
village has bars restaurants shops and
even a hospital and a hotel which was
our next stop
oh man I'm really looking forward to
eating this fish also we have a local
beer here one of the few beers that are
manufactured in Benin pleasantly
surprised definitely better than all the
beers I've tried in Burkina Faso
supporting local artists we've all
patient I still have the painting right
here right above my bed alright back to
the video leaving this fascinating
village I couldn't stop thinking about
the amazing ability of the villagers to
adapt to life on water Ghana VA remains
one of the most amazing places hide
forever visit
alright Freddy's banshee
maxi of everyone by the way this snap of
the finger is a way of greeting not only
here but also in Togo and Burkina Faso
and it's more friendly way of greeting
somebody just to let you know
so we came to this provision with
stations where everyone is just shouting
names of cities and towns and villages
our next destination lies at the deep
south of Betty ladies and gentlemen the
city of William
[Music]
we arrived sweida which is the capital
city of voodoo religion like in the
entire world right now we're entering
the temple of fighters this is a sacred
tree you touch it with your left hand
and you wish something and it's going to
happen
[Music]
puffins are something like gods in the
Voodoo religion it's the most holy
animal pythons are not poisonous and
they cannot bite you so that's why I'm
looking very confident right now
entering the temple right now
the temple of pythons is cool but there
are more interesting places in ouidah
this is the famous door of no return the
final destination of all the slaves that
were traded and sent to Europe and to
South America they went a long way
through Benin and this is where they
ended i smell a lot of history here a
very sad sad history wipe of your tears
because we are about to attend the
absolute highlight of readable so this
is the highlight will do dancing
ceremony
[Applause]
voodoo is more than their religion and
it's definitely not sticking needles
into doors to cause misfortune as many
people think it is a complete way of
life including culture philosophy
language art dance music and medicine
[Applause]
you saw that there was sacred water and
she splashed that on us five minutes ago
we're going to live forever
it's been the same thing for over an
hour right now so I think it's time to
go home
and that concludes our beninese episodes
I hope you enjoyed the country of strong
traditions corrupt police officers and
beautiful lake villages
[Music]
