  • In this episode, I am leaving the capital of Angola, Luanda, with (hopefully) a fully functional motorcycle again! But before I really leave the city, I quickly hop past an insurance office to buy a road insurance for my motorcycle and then I head for a small town called Muxima. I hoped to stay the night there, but Angola has different plans with me..

    My 95 year old Mum died yesterday, a devoted Itchboots viewer who would ring me up to tell me about the latest episode. She so enjoyed watching what she could no longer do herself, an escape from the confines of the nursing home. Thank you Noraly for giving her such joy in the last few years.

    Hello Noraly! I am Angolan and live in Luanda and follow you. The child in Dondo asked "Auntie, are you the one driving it?" He was amazed to see a lady driving a big motorcicle like Alaska...and calling you "tia/auntie" or "mãe/mother" or "Godmother/madrinha" will be frequent...it is a sign of respect. We are told sincevearly age to treat those older than us like that. Thank you for the kind words adressed to our country because your channel reachs the World. Safe travels.

    I didn't know that Angola was so beautiful. The only thing I knew was about the Angolan civil war and the military intervention by the Soviet Union and Cuba. Thanks to you, Noraly, I'm learning so much more. Every country that you go to, I read about their politics, their economic growth, their industries and their people. Thank you so much! I only knew that Angola was unstable for years - not that they were one of the fastest growing economies in South Africa. And of course, the people are so nice. You've turned my whole perception of the area upside down. It's wonderful.

      "The only thing I knew was about the Angolan civil war and the military intervention by the Soviet Union and Cuba." Why do people always leave out American involvement? The Angolan civil war was also a proxy war between the USSR and the USA who both used their proxies Cuba and South Africa respectively to intervene in the civil war.

    "Tia or Tio ( in that case for men )" its an affectionate and very informal way to call someone older than you. When they called you " Amiga" is also a informal way to greet everyone. Lovin' it. As a Brazilian and Portuguese speaker it's so fun to listen to you. People in Angola are really friendly indeed and down to earth. Can't wait to see more of this beautiful country and his warm people. Hope you explore it , cuz is gonna surprise a lot of people.

I am also very impressed that you did not go under any way of being robbed or loated.

    In .any cultures, the saying, "it takes a village" is heart felt. I taught my daughter to call her elders auntie. In Hawaii, it's an ice breaker for brown people. It shows respect for their culture.
    I'm not sure why, but watching yo in Angola has made me very emotional. I remember their war. Some of my friends fought their. Unfortunately, when I was a young man, I mostly learned geography through wars. Since finding you on your 90 min Patagonia to Alaska doc. I have made a point to watch all of your videos. And, as an assignment to research all the places that you go as a way to view the world with fresh eyes.

    Hi Noraly, I'm from Angola, started watching your videos because of a friend of mine who is a fan. I started from ep 83, when you passed in front of our offices... In any case, I thought you were having a hard time in Angola, not having working traffic lights, and not finding hotels, etc. But then I went back and saw all the carnage you went through!!! Well, hats up for you!!! This is an epic achievement of unmeasurable proportions. You've redefined my definition of challenge and keeping up. Much honored to have you ride on our land. Much honored to see the records of your epic Quest. I'll keep on following.

    Great to see a country that I may have had a preconceived idea of. In the past Angola had a very troubled period associated with war and strife. Much like a part of my country🇮🇪. Now it looks so modern and peaceful. The people come across as warm and friendly. History and geography through Norally. Great.

      You will understand that this or these wars and strife were independence movement? Now the colonizers are gone it's chill. Can't say the same for most former French territories

    I'm from Angola and I just fell in love with your personality, you're so goddamn beautifull in attitude. You cannot even imagine I was riding with you across Nigeria, Congo and then Angola. You ate MUFETE, is a tipical food and very tasted for all Angolans and foreigners too. What I'm most amazed is how humble you are to adventure in so many "challeging" places. Thank you for being who you are, for "existing". I love your portuguese, you're so cute 😁 have a fantabulous journey! VIVA @itchy Boots

    As a Brazilian, I was happy to see Norally speaking Portuguese in a country that is so different but that shares its language with us. By the way, don't feel old, here in Brazil children call young preschool teachers "tia".

    Noraly, friend suggested your channel to me over a year ago. I can say today I have watched all your seasons and episodes to date. I will say this, with your short little legs, Dutch stubbornness and positive attitude you have shown millions people around the world how beautiful it is. Plus, you have shown us that there is lot of good in the world along with kindness. I believe this has triggered many to have confidence to get out and explore the world for themselves. Love the geology lesson and how the planet has transformed over the millions of years in couple of your seasons. Season 5 very educational! Hopefully some day you have time to share a book of your travels. Thank you from the little Dutch town of Lynden WA - Ride on young lady you have earned it. It's been joy to see world through your eyes. Your hard work payed off. Cheers......

      Noraly stops and chats with random men or villagers in the middle of the jungle in West Africa. She has been receiving nothing but kindness and smile from strangers. I don't think ordinary African men or women (black person in general) would make it out alive if they were to go on a motorbike in the southern part of the USA today. People would call the police if he /or she walked into a restaurant wearing motorcycle gear to eat, and the police would harass them for no reason. God bless Africa and Africans.

    Being called Tia or Uncle is a respectful way of addressing an older person. That's from my Philippine culture. We make you feel that you are a member of our family.

    • @bl8550
      @bl8550 Před 2 měsíci +1

      Correct. This occurs across many parts of Africa. Auntie, uncle, baba, mommy... all expressions of respect that aren't used solely to address family members. Additionally, its use is not necessarily an indication that the person being addressed is of advanced age.

    Nice video! Lots of memories! On this 2 last videos you went through historical places related to Netherlands!The Dutch West India Company took over Luanda and surrounding areas in the middle of the 17th century in order to control the trade in the area. The dutch colony was called Governorate Loango-Angola. The Dutch had allied with the kingdom of Congo and with Queen Nzinga of the Ndongo kingdom. But in the end both parties had different interests ( the kingdoms wanted to get rid of the portuguese along the rivers Cuanza and bengo and Luanda and the dutch just wanted to trade). Anyway the dutch presence lasted only 7 years, but they went on trading well into the 18th century. Muxima where you have been, was stage of a battle between dutch and portuguese forces. When you entered Luanda from the north you were not far away from the Fort of Sao Pedro da Barra that was started by the dutch and the fortaleza de Sao Miguel in Luanda was renamed at the time Fort Aardenburgh. And also some dutch family names still exist nowadays. So, somehow you were biking on your ancestors footsteps. And you were on the Quissama National Park area, great with wildlife! Go on having a great time in this beautiful country!
