Online shopping

I recently moved to rwanda so i’ve no idea about the lay of the land. There’s a couple of things id like to buy but idk where from or how it works. Ive heard that there are hefty import taxes upon arrival that aren’t included in the pricing of the online stores, is that true and how much? Also do you have any recommendations about websites I can use, whether global or local that would provide a seamless shopping experience?

Entry visa for person from North Sudan

Hello everyone. I'm flying to Rwanda in 2 days and I just want to be extra clear on the visa stuff. Do I just show up at the airport with no prior visa-related stuff done? I saw that it's possible to get the visa online, but I also heard it's better to just get it on arrival. Are there any documents that I'm not aware of that I'll need to bring with me? I just don't want to realize I'm missing something crucial late.

Also, can someone one walk me through what I'll need to do right after I get out of the plane in Kigali, like from where to where I'll need go in the airport.

Thank you.

Gift suggestions to bring back from Rwanda beside coffee and chocolate. Is it easy to find places to get custom made brass bracelets in Kigali? Shea butter/karite? wood carvings? traditional incense? Homegrown herbal companies?

A lot to unpack from the post title but any help would be greatly appreciated.

What gifts would be good to bring back for friends after a trip from Rwanda besides coffee and chocolate items?

Is it easy to find brass workers who can make a custom made brass bracelet with a figure on it in Kigali?

Rwanda has it's own homegrown shea butter correct? Easy to find at a good price?

Good places to find traditional wood carvings in Kigali?

Do Rwandans use incense outside of the realm of the christian church? Are traditional homegrown incense easy to find in Rwanda?

Any good natural herbal companies in Rwanda that sell general wellness supplements and herbs?

Thank you for your help.

Looking for critical thinkers

Calling all critical thinkers and those with special interests!

I have made it a mission of mine to be in every reddit sub for every nation on the earth (or at least the ones in english).

I am trying to gauge interest in any who wish to bring their passion and knowledge in a category to join a groupchat (on the dinosaur of a platform known as Facebook).

What im looking for and why:

My whole life ive been interested in different countries and cultures and the idea of having an 18+ groupchat in which many nations have a bit of representation its a dream come true. Id love to have people who are educated and capable of deep discussion about various topics.

Criteria

  1. Have a special interest in any field politics, philosphy, history, heck even those proficient in film music or theatre.

  2. You can take a joke. Its a fairly on task group chat however id say the only stuff that is censored as far as words go is any words pertaining to race or explicitly sexual material.

  3. You are respectful of different religions. The group chat is very commonly excercising various different belief standpoints and jokes as long as they are in good taste are perfectly acceptable

What to expect:

  1. Debates: these can range in a variety of topics from politics to history to science. And they can border on "heated" but at the end we are all just trying to learn and any oversteps will result in bans after a warning if course

  2. Varied religious backgrounds id say the group is about 65% Christian 35% atheist but everyone in there is comfortable with sharing details about their religion free of ridicule aside from the lighthearted jokes. We have also recently added some others majority of which are Muslim.

  3. The group right now is majorly american but there has been a fair bit of canadians that have joined and left over the three years the groupchat has been around. We recently got some members Azerbaijan, Bahrain, and Germany

  4. Right now we have experts in the following categories

Cryptocurrency TV Shows and Pop culture Philosophy American Law World History Military History Video Game History Meteorology

The group is probably like 45% autistics with special interests so we pride ourselves on knowing our craft.

  1. Each month I post news articles from every nation's internet news source in alphabetical order usually a letter a day. And we monitor and disccus the conflicts happening abroad

  2. The group is 100% male which wasnt even by design thats just how its gone so far but there isnt a gender requirement one way or the other.

The donts:

No excessive meme spam. I tend to allow discussions with GIFS but depending on how many join the chat, theres no need for excessive memes

No posting sexual or graphic material some mems walk the line but never cross it.

No racial slurs

The creator of the GC is the final authority on everything

The point of the GC is to engage and have fun. If somebody is going a month without at least reading the posts then you shouldnt have joined in the first place silly! Inactives are often removed after one month.

Lets educate eachother! The goal is to increase comradery and learm about eachother cultures.

As of right now im wanting natives to whatever nation I post this in (as I intend to copy and paste) and depending on traction Im going to try and invite either the first people who respond or the most educated.

If you want to leave a rude comment or something about how you have better things to do go ahead! This is reddit after all!

But at least for the sake of being entertaining lets avoid repeats so far ive heard

Incelfest

Sausagefest

Pretentious

Arrogant

Red pills

Sounds like Hell

Remember we are looking for people who want to make friends and debate ideas not people who think themselves witty comedians.
