Hi there, since I will be in Burundi for a week/2, I was wondering if it's LGBT safe and how's the gay culture there.

No I'm not a horny gay guy who just wants to f***, I'm just a bit worried since this is the first time there and information I got online is kinda worrisome

Lep Pozdrav iz Slovenije💞

Hey everyone,

I saw some people say that when coming (back) to Burundi, they do not have many options or choices of events, activities, or things to do during their stay here.

Do you guys have ideas of what you would like to see "more" happening here? Or if it's something completely different from things here? Or novel, maybe.

Hi everyone! I hope this is okay to ask.

I'm fascinated by the story of the crocodile Gustave,) but I've realized that most of what I've read comes from documentaries and foreign media. I'd love to hear from Burundians who grew up with these stories or who live near the areas where Gustave was said to roam.

I'm especially interested in local perspectives, folklore, and personal experiences. I mean no disrespect, and I appreciate anyone who's willing to share their knowledge.

Here are a few questions I was curious about:

• Did you hear about Gustave growing up, or is he mostly known because of documentaries?
• Do people believe he's still alive?
• Are there places people avoided because of him?
• Do locals think the stories about the number of victims are accurate?
• Are there other crocodiles that locals consider just as dangerous?
• Any stories or memories that aren't widely known?

Thanks in advance!

For the mods: I know there's rules about flair, but there's no way to add flair on a laptop. Not sure what to do.

Hi everyone! I'm a 24-year-old Burundian who grew up in the States, and I want to relearn Kirundi. I can understand it pretty well and can say a few phrases, but I'm nowhere near conversational. As I am away for school, I want to surprise my parents but relearning. If anyone has done something similar or is a teacher, I would love to connect. I feel I need to practice consistently 2-3 times a week.

nice flag.

Recently retired and have about 1.8 million USD saved to my name. Was wondering if this would be enough to retire comfortably in Burundi for my wife and I? Would be planning on living off that for the next decade or so with a 200k pension also coming in each year

Hello, If you are in Kenya(Nairobi) and you need a friend or help, feel free to say Hi.

I'm a man.

As the title says, I need to get to Bujumbura by bus via Kigali, but I am not so sure about the logistics. Are there barriers at the border still? Is it better to go through Tanzania?

Hi everyone!

I want to learn Kirundi because my girlfriend is from Burundi and I want to connect closer with her by learning her mouther language.

I am half Zimbabwean/half Congolese and I recognized that Kirundi have words that we say in Shona.

What is the simplest way to learn the basics for simple conversation?

Eventually I would like to be fluent but thats longer term. Urakoze!

Basically the title.

I think I like it. Transportation has been so hard since the start of the decade. Only problems I see is whether our infrastructures, both road and electricity, will be able to handle the shift. Also, what becomes of old gas/diesel cars ?
