    Hey, hey, Sir Willie!! Always a great adventure tagging along with you! And a light-bulb went on this time! Never had them before, so I ordered some Marie Biscuits. So watching your next video, I'll try them with a cup of tea ... see, hear, taste a bit of your fun times. Quick question: what tea shall it be ... your expertise appreciated? What's big in India? Stay safe, have fun, thanks for sharing, as always. Greetings from TUS.

      Cheers Jim! Always a pleasure. The Marie biscuits was a big surprise, it is a very common product on the supermarket shelves in South Africa and something I'm very familiar with. It was almost like a taste of home away from home. As for the tea, I would recommend some Earl Grey or a Darjeeling! Greetings

    Scary so early morning in that dark alley! Not sure I would have had the metal to walk there and then. And crazy the number of people on the floor of what I presume is the departure lounge in the train station. You connect expertly with the locals over cricket.

    • @willieexplore
      @willieexplore  2 месяца назад

      It was very interesting to experience Paharganj and the station at that time! The number of people on the floor was concerning especially as it appeared that many spent the night there. Could not be a comfortable experience. That cricket book and the banter about recent matches were important hooks (no cricket pun intended!). Appreciate the support!

      Hi Bip! It was a very interesting day that is for sure. Good question on the mosquitoes. My understanding is that there are many in the rainy season. I did not encounter many but there certainly were some. As for malaria, I believe it is not a huge issue in the parts I visited (Haryana, Uttar Pradesh and Rajasthan) and anti-malarials are not usually advised unless you visit eastern parts such as Odisha (as per the website FitForTravel). Hope this helps and that you managed to stay safe in Jamaica! Greetings

      Trains in America are worse.
      Indian Railways is going massive upgradation and government is handing it over to big private enterprises something which happened in Japan years back.
      The future of Indian railways will have more Vande Bharat, Tejas, Amrit Bharat, Namo Bharat semi high speed trains and air conditioned local trains ( already in Mumbai).
      The old yellow coloured rakes are being phased out.
      Apart from that India has some of the most luxurious world heritage trains: Maharaj Express, Palace on Wheels, Deccan Odyssey, Golden Chariot, Buddha Express, Flying Rani. No country in the world has train as insanely luxury as this.
      Even second class trains in South India are extremely decent. Whatever overcrowding you see happens in certain North Indian states like Bihar and Uttar Pradesh.
