channel, please consider subscribing and supporting this channel I'm still trying to, I'm still sharing with you my first day as a security guard in Kathar Remember, for the first video we talked about arriving at the airport and also my first day as a security guard at work, which was quite very interesting For those people that watch that video, at least you can try to link up with the second video of this video, then you can know how the whole story ended And this is the second video, or in today's video, I want to share up my experience when it came to shopping and cooking for the requirements I had at that time Remember, most of the time when we are coming from our countries and the agents will tell us a lot of stories or they will definitely tell you sending stories because they need money or they need whatever they see They will tell us you should pack food, you should pack this, you should pack beans, you should pack pocho, you should pack this, you should pack this and you should pack this So they told us also those things and we packed, for those people that know the first time you come, you definitely know what you pack You even end up packing matoki or you end up packing bananas If you're coming from Kenya, you end up packing okali, you end up packing omena But remember, to some time in the airport when they are very strict, they will definitely remove those items because they are unaccepted by the customer But when you are so lucky enough for those few items that get to stay inside, a few items that definitely would stay inside your bag You just have to accept it and allow and say, yes Konya has allowed me to go this Remember for the first time you come is that you're going to work for a full month without pay But remember what happened to us was a little bit very different and I think it also happens to companies here when you come for the first time They will give you an adverse money, probably they will give you an adverse money which is almost around 300 kt Depending on your extent rate, depending on your country, that will give you a start up for that money as you go through the month But remember, when the month gets off, when your food suddenly comes at the end of the month, they will deduct that amount of money they owe to you that they gave you when you came And this was the time that we gave them that to go and start So what happens as continuous days came, we taken to office Remember for us when we came the first day, we came like today at 3 o'clock, we came at 3 o'clock, we are taking accommodation The next day we reported duty because they needed extra people to go and work in that duty location So we had no choice, we had to go and take up our duty without even induction, without even anything Remember some companies don't give induction at that time So let us go in the video, we go about that, we go in what happened is when it came to what you call shopping and cooking Remember we had code office and we given 300 kt each of us that to do our shopping to make us upkeep at the time And good luck enough, me I really had some food with me, so I had some food, I had some pocho And I had some beans that I carried with me, like any spatula that could be, like any person who is prepared to go in a war You need to carry something that will get you up high, please When you came to the airport, they are not good out of my my my my luggage, I still had them So some people went with that, of course you needed to have something at that time You needed to buy for yourself a shoe, if you didn't have a black shoe to start up your work If you didn't have a belt, you needed to buy for, for this type of company Some companies understand, they will not give you that So this time, as like what I had to do with the money is that I had to try to go and shop something Try to shop some little bit of food, some little bit of say I looked at a sauce because I didn't have sauce At that time you don't cook beans because you are using gas and remember You also don't have what to cook in utensils The first time you come, the most hardest part is what you call the cooking utensils Remember in some companies that you have to cook for yourself So when you have to cook for yourself, then probably you need to have what to cook in utensils And you need to buy, you need to buy this cooking utensils So meaning that what they give you out of what they give you the 300 In case the company gives you, in case that company is not providing food And you want to provide food for yourself Then probably you have to go, you have to buy cooking utensils And depending on how much and depending on the size that you want But remember, the first time that you don't know exactly what it is And this is where you go to a shopping mall Or you go to any shop to buy And you see the prices of it all So what happened was like super, super, super fun I remember that time and this was sometime I had I had to kind of act with myself And I was like these kinds of tips, these kinds of tips How, what happened exactly When I went to the mall Super big malls where you see every item is inside Every item is super inside that It's fully stocked, their malls are so big and fully stocked So wherever you take your eye to another corner You see something Wherever you take your eye to another corner You see something beautiful But remember the money you have is You have supposed to buy the money you have For the first intensives that will make you move through the month So this is what happened So I went with my friends We went to the mall to buy cooking utensils And did all the prices depend on Which kind of size of utensils you have And you may find that You may want to buy a smaller utensil But it is highly priced Compare to the big utensils That is going to accommodate like 5 people That is what was challenging with me When I went to shop it I was like Why these people doing like this one So I went to that shelf To those shelves where they had cooking pots Or cooking utensils And I would look at the small utensils They have bigger prices Compare to the big one I was like What is this guys doing I moved to the second shelf There was another second shelf Where by They had a pack It is a pack of 5 A pack of 3 Small, medium and big Those are 3 packs of it And so cooking utensils But you find that these packs Are more expensive than even the money you have So what option do you have Is to buy these single ones Remember This is a situation whereby You are living in a room But you may not be living in a room Where you are living with your friends From the same country You are living with nationalities Coming from Nepal, Bangladesh, India From different nationalities And each nationalities Have different favourites Cuisines that they eat So you will not wake up To add your cuisine With another person's cuisine You definitely have to take care of yourself That is where now I normally tell people That you need to have what you call Extra Extra self skills That you need to have To make you survive And exactly If you get to watching One more of my videos I gave some of those skills That you need to have When you come to the Gulf Which is quite Very, very important For you to have Because it was the only We need to survive So I had to make sure That I divide the 300 I have To make sure I can buy A cooking utensil at that time That will never cook me And remember We are told Every time you go to You supposed to be smart So I needed a flat iron I needed I needed I needed food I needed the ingredients So What was so funny with me I got my mobile Remember as I was coming As like The first thing you do Is probably You need to check And as like What is the exchange rate If I have 1,000 If I have 300 kathariya here And you try to equate it To the exchange rate To your country Then you begin Now I need to spend 200 I need to spend 150 I need to spend this one So that was what happened So I got a piece of paper And paint I would write After writing I said This one This cooking pot Is 100 kathariya So I'll convert 100 kathariya To my country And I was like No, this is big I'm not coming by I got on this So I ended up Being in a shopping mall For almost 3 hours It was very funny Being in a shopping mall For 3 hours Because I was Trying to convert the prices Back to my country To buy What I need Just imagine Can you imagine If it is you What would you do? If it is your first time Or if you remember Your first time When you came To the Gulf country To work It may be any other job And you had to look for Cooking utensils Or you had to look for Grosally for yourself What did you do? You remember whatever Any funny things That you did It is what I did So for 3 hours I'm trying to convert Everything I put in paper Back to my country Then I see Whether I can buy Or not buy I went to the ingredients I look at the tomato I was like 1 kilo of tomato Is at 8 real 10 real I was like What is this one? I convert 10 real To my country I'm like I'm buying 1 kilo of tomato At 8,000 I was like 8,000 It is Not acceptable And what is a kilo? You find a kilo has 3 tomatoes I was like No I'd rather look for Tomatoes are very cheaper So in that course You end up moving The whole mall Or you end up Being on the same shelf For a long period of time Because you are looking at Small tomatoes That are going to make up a kilo So you don't spend a lot You go to kitchen You go to chicken You look for chicken I was like This bar This gram 500 gram Is 15 real 1 kilo Is 30 real 2 kilo Is 50 real You go to rice This 1 kilo 5 kilo This kind of rice It is 25 real This kind of rice So meaning that Each item Each brand Here in Qatar Is sold A different amount of rice And what I need to let you know If you are coming for the first time Or what was my experience at that time I didn't know That everything Is measured in kilo Because in that country We are not used to kilo We are used to lobster Where you go to the market And you buy a whole lot You go to buy tomatoes You are buying a whole lot of tomatoes And that whole lot of tomatoes May be contained May be 50 tomatoes And that is at 1 real Or even less than 1 real And you have But I didn't know That this time That what we are supposed to buy Each of these we are supposed to buy In kilo And apart And other items For example rice and foods Would be measured according to the brand And which country they are coming from So it gave me her 10 That's why I spent more hours In the mall And remember I have to go back to ko So I took Of 3 hours trying to budget Trying to budget that money That I can still remain With some small amount of money For me to keep in my pocket In case of a margins So I calculated everything I calculated It was just fun for me Because what reminded me Just reminded me back The school time Where you need to calculate Your dad is where you need to calculate Your food That is given for you To finish up the time When you are in a boarding school So I was like By the time I got out Of the shopping mall I was super tired And guess what What I was carrying out Of what I spent Was just something That you would lift up And do like this That got me so much Much better I was like This is not acceptable This is stealing me Like in my life I was like Now Something came in my life I was like now I need to begin up I need to change my strategy I need to change my goals I need to change myself And that is why I say That the beginning of the change Of the mind Began from that experience From that day It gave me one It gave me one lesson That you need to plan Before you go to spend You need to know That you should spend You should not spend More than what you earn That was one lesson I learned And something else It showed me Or it taught me a lesson That before you go to shop Vis a number of those Nearby shops And try to Try to compare the prices You never knew the neighbor May have a cheaper price And you go to buy In that space And what something else came in I go to learn is that Most of these shopping malls They sell the same price Like they would sell to other people That have the money Especially the nationals Or people who come to spend Like they have families And they have But good thing that I found out in these malls That they do have offers Where you will find that You will find a pack of soap A pack comparing A pack that has Four or ten bars of soap And it's sold at Maybe ten real Or three real Meaning that If you go to the promotion side You can still access Keeper commodities Or access Or buy goods At a cheaper price And still more on that It just taught me a lesson That one was the other That you can still When you go And you feel that Your money is not enough What you want is not enough Look for smaller items That will make a kilo A little bit bigger That by the time you Make a kilo If it's going to be An onion And a kilo is four real Or three point five Kataliyal With an onion What you do Is that you look for The smaller pieces Those ones The smaller onions That by the time It makes up a kilo At least you have You have too many onions Or you have too many bags Of onions in the bag That kind of one So it was quite challenging When it came to grocery When it came to cooking food Kuking Remember you have to cook For yourself It was something else That was a little bit challenging You know Most of us Most of the people Do not want to learn How to cook Especially in Africa It's not mandatory That you have to learn How to cook Because we can still Access food cheaply Maybe side roads Whenever you have to go And down So this was the start Of the journey That you have to cook For yourself You have to learn how to cook Remember This time Provided We call gas And gas cooks Food very fast And leave a new light In the gas itself It's also We need to It is a skill that you need Because you never know What will happen You're not used to To lighting gas And by the time You get light up the gas We're here in this month This mail coming out of the gas And the only thing That comes in your mind Is that I'm going to Be killed by gas So you mean If the first time You're flirting And you don't know Is that you may not End up cooking Every time you see gas Like They told us gas Kills And when it kills you Everyone will Perish up in ashes So you like me And you don't cook And even the style of cooking What you're going to cook What you're going to cook Measure how much You're going to cook What is your code What is the time So it also became A little bit very Haswan But good enough As time moved on As time went on I learned how to cook myself And I had a little bit Some skills from My country Whenever I had to come from I just thought Mam Used to pick me up Remember Those times they would beat us And tell you The dates you cook in time And you would cry the whole night The whole day Because you don't want to cook But remember Back in the mind Appearance we are taking us That something You could face a challenge Where you have to Cook for yourself And this is what Exactly happens When you come to This Gulf countries That when the company Is not providing for you Food You have to cook for yourself You have to have it And so You have to make sure You cook So much money That you're not going to To save And you're going to Eat in the restaurant Or you're going to pay At a monthly fee To a given restaurant That will give you For every day But remember If a person That came to save And you have dreams That you're chasing It's better you Could learn how to cook For yourself As such You can try to save The excess spending And exactly That's what I did That I said No I need to cook For myself Whatever I do Or cut myself Make sure I cook bad food But I need to learn And I need to know How to cook And try to save The little bit Of what I have For the time And good enough As time went To like After my probation period Definitely I was a very good cook And I'll live And get to smile Of myself And I like his Everything You have to learn My voice And even the Vendome itself Around you Will have to enable To learn And do You learn Definitely That things That you're going to learn And you may learn them Accidentally Or you may learn Them because Of the nature Of the life That you live in But remember It's after some time That I'm going to help you And you're going to see That really It was It was worthy It was worth For you to learn That kind of activity At that time So very important Thank you so much For coming back to this young I hope I've tried To share This experience And that was really Very very important For the time So actually very good So if you like This video Please give it a thumbs up And to make me more And more motivated To make more content If you feel the video Is very important Just share it with your brain The person
