- The journey towards the south goes on. From Chidambaram we are traveling down to Trichy (Tiruchirappalli) and this time we are travelling by train as we got seat numbers this time. We were on the waiting list as I mentioned last time and many of you said it will not work. But it did work and we got seats. Anyway, here is our journey and the people we met, it was really lovely but see for yourself.

You are in the delta region of tamil nadu. Worlds one of the oldest and fertile paddy field region since chola era. It consists of 7 districts and a part of Trichy too. Glad you are enjoying your time in tamil nadu😊 Tamils are known for their hospitality. Enjoy
It is very beautiful here
Dear Family
I really appreciate your vlog covering the Indian 🇮🇳 states in an beautiful manner.
I must appreciate you and your family for being able to be very cool while traveling the hottest tropical towns & cities.
Really proud of your family tour ....
Best of luck for your future endeavours...
Have a wonderful time ahead..
Thanks a ton
Mayiladuthurai is of significant antiquity, its oldest extant temples dating to the time of the Medieval Cholas. The region, however, is known to have been inhabited since the 3rd millennium BC. Sherds of megalithic black and red ware have been found at Akkur, 14 km (8.7 mi) to the east of Mayiladuthurai.[
Mayil = Peacock.. Adu = dancing.. thurai = port?
Tanjavur was the capital of Cholas.. The one and only Empire who invaded outside Indian Subcontinent, south east Asia (Thailand, Malaysia etc) Srilanka.
interesting
Being from one of the most developed country in the world, you are travelling India with full family in sleeper class or mostly middle class Indian style,not in the premium class or in premium train.
I can imagine your condition.
But the way you vlog and handles the conditions despite being exhausted and fatiguenes.
You are doing great Sir.
Great Love and support and esspecially to your cute kids.😊
One suggestion: Please try to travel in premium trains like Vande Bharat Express or in Rajdhani Express, Shatabdi express.
You'll have much better experience.
cheers mate, we are quite happy with the local trains, also a train like Vande Bharat is extremely expensive, we canot afford this.
Ok same train take AC 3 TIER OR 2 TIER will br cheaper than premium trains less noise, clutter
The church us v actively converting poor ppl with money to Christianity by falsehood, superstitions that if u r Hindu Satan will destroy u be a Christian later they payv10% of their earnings to d church elsecsatsn will give u miseries this is like drug addiction
@@yvesthesleeveu r a gr8 man, down to earth, no ego's, u will get all gud things in life bro, u have some gud ethics for the world to look at
Loved it! your little one playing with other kids so innocently and you guys having no qualms or discrimination about it. outstanding!! True trait of good people/family! God Bless
Of course we have no qualms or discrimination. Our kids are used to kids of all ethnics and colors, there is no difference, they mostly do not even notice that some people look different and that is great.
Kids are innocent. Racism/discrimination is taught, not something one is born with. With that being said, why would they have any qualm about it especially when they are the one willingly went to india and other countries to live and explore? Don't you think someone who is racist wouldn't even go to another country that has people of different color?
Thank you for entertaining us with your pronunciation. That was hilarious and you made your wife laugh out loud. Never a dull moment with you. All the best to you and your family.
thanks mate, same to you guys
The contrast between the frenetic vibes at the ticket counter line and the free and very cool atmosphere inside the train was truly amazing!! It seems only in India!
Yes what is that
@@yvesthesleeve ARSHAVIR TER HOVANASIAN WAS AN ARMENIAN. IF YOU READ HIS BOOK, YOU WILL GET HEALTHY 50 MORE YEARS TO LIVE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
Hats off to you for being so humble and down to earth interacting with common people. Usually many westerns complain about the other side of India as being dirty, gross and not cultured but your fascination towards them is unparalleled.
I find it fascinating, so it is easy
Indian trains always interesting and so much to look around and just absorb everything that’s happening
Indeed
Your train videos are amazing 🤩. So I watch almost all foreigner youtubers who make videos in India and I've seen them grow crazy like from few k to millions!! I and my husband want to see your channel grow and always wonder why it's not racing. I just want to give a small suggestion when you visit the cities plz try to use some music or do a voice over whenever possible coz the background noise is so loud that sometimes it's irritating to the ears, even when you have such good content! I feel that's the reason why it's not growing the way it should! Best wishes to you and lots of love to the family 💝 hope to bump into you guys someday! 😊
thanks for the input, I am growing, just slow, but I do what I do, raw and unedited, I show the real life
Looks like your family enjoyed their first train journey. The countryside is very beautiful 😊
true that
Baby Dylan has a million dollar smile. Nice to see your family enjoying the local train journey.
Cheers mate
Vealankannni Roman Catholic Church and it is world famous. During festive season, around 100,000 thousand people will gather there. You should have covered Tranquebar(Danish fort) Poombuhar and Karaikal, velankanni 30 - 60 Kms away from Sirkazhi. These places are called Kaveri river delta. Also known as ozone rich area since there is no big industrial area.
Tamil is a complex language because it retains some of the 1st human migration into India from Africa, that ultimately ended into humans going to Australia.
So it shares some retroflex-consonants with the Aussie Aboriginals, where the tongue is twisted backward while producing sound.
that is highly interesting.
That group from andhra pradesh is going to velankanni(The town is home to one of the most visited Latin Catholic shrines called the Basilica of Our Lady of Good Health)
interesting
I was about to type the same 😅. Velankanni church is very famous amongst Catholics in India people come from all over India to do the 7 days novena there just like that family ❤. You should have visited the Church it's very very beautiful!
Earlier this had been a Hindu Shrine for A Goddess, Vel angayarkanni that the westerners converted as this church shortening the name Velankanni.
Look how faithful slave he is. Coming back frequently to prove his faithfulness 😂🤣 There is no derth of stupid people in India!
They all are your slaves😂 take them with you and sell them in West Indies and other places where you rule 😂 They will happily serve you. They love and your culture you more than their own👍😂 Come again and rule them. They are dying to become your servants again . Oh their white God don't disappoint them 😂
Nice vlog , I really appreciate to your presence of making vlogs on Indian Railways. One thing we want to recommend you to make a mesmerizing and special vlog on sensation ''Vandebharath express" semi bullet train (Train 18) in our states, where these are now game changer for Indian Railways.
I heard of them of course, lets see
Ur great sir ur kind of behavour towards people of India love ur vlogs
thanks mate
I travelled with you through the whole journey and enjoyed every minute of it . Tiruchi is my favorite place among all cities in TamilNadu and wish you a good stay.
thanks mate
Cool, this is real travel
thanks
You seem to be enjoying this train journey, with all the discomforts, like no Air conditioner, so many travelling in the same coach...this mode of journey is availed by majority of Indians from one end to another end covering sometimes 3000 kms. All the best
yes, I think it is not a problem
India is best discovered and travelled by trains!
Agreed
Glad that you like South India. Enjoy your travel.
thanks mate
One more beautiful video by Moonshine , but ofcourse a great Train journey reflecting Indian Culture. We can experience real Indian life in a sleeper coach . In a AC coach of a Indian Train , we can visualise only an artificial and masked behaviour of so called high Indian society. Your commentary is so nice and simple which reveals simplicity unlike other Foreigners. Eventhough you are from Swiss , your camera is efficiently showing my Indian culture . Thanks a lot. May the ALMIGHTY bless you and your family with pleasure, peace and health in our INDIA🇮🇳 - GOWRISANKAR, AP
thanks so much, well said.
28:41 i am sorry to be honest about my opinion. This reminds me of home alone's character harry lime. Especially when you chuckled. 😂. Wishing you a great holiday.
That is one of the greatest movie stars in the world
I can see the tension in you when the train started getting emptier and emptier, that feeling is normal cause some time people feel more secure with crowd that otherwise. Sometimes i feel the same too especially when travelling to a new place
sure thing
Very nice mate for showing your travel nice people around you cool!
cheers mate
Good to see you enjoying the trip
we are
Happy your journey with your family I like it
Thanks so much
Velankanni has a very powerful and holy church of Mother Mary of Velankanni, Our Lady of Good Health. So a lot of people visit there and many get off at this station and take a road transport to Velankanni.
duly noted
10:06
This is just in case you're still not sure how you got the entire "bench" to yourself.
In all sleeper classes of IR, from 6 am to 9 pm, the lower berths turn into a seat (or bench, if you prefer) meant for sitting, to be shared between the passenger on the lower berth (LB), and the ones of the middle berth (MB, which is foldable, so when not in use as a berth and is folded, it serves as a backrest while sitting on the LB) and upper berth (UB) above it. In your case, they would have been the passengers on berth numbers 4, 5 and 6. Of course, there is flexibility, and as long as the passengers mutually agree, one or more of the three can choose to lie down on their respective berths during other times in the day, with the others adjusting if needed.
In your case, your copassengers are likely to have let you occupy the entire LB during the day (despite you having only 2 of the 3 berths) to allow your family to be seated together in a decent amount of space (by Indian standards anyway), and the other person who would have been allotted one of those 3 berths would have moved to the opposite side, or elsewhere nearby. If the journey were overnight, you might have had to sleep the night in your respective berths, or requested someone for a mutual swap.
Yes sure, I was still surprised how many seats were empty in the end as people were even fighting at the railway station...
@@yvesthesleeve that clamour at the railway station was for people looking for unreserved tickets, with which they are ideally supposed to travel in the unreserved or "General" coaches, like the class of travel you used to get into Mumbai on your previous trip. General coaches, especially on express trains (like this one) are usually more crowded, due to them being less in number as compared to reserved coaches.
They might have been looking for unreserved tickets due to any of the following reasons:-
1. Unreserved tickets cost less than sleeper class tickets (and might be worth the amount saved, especially for short distances)
2. The train seemed full till Mayiladuthurai, so sleeper tickets would have been hard to get (or remained unconfirmed) for passengers boarding anywhere prior to that station
3. They could have made last minute plans to travel (which is common for short distances) and would not have been able to try for reserved berths in sleeper class, which should ideally be booked at least four hours before the scheduled departure time (sometimes more, depending on the station)
Hi Moonshine, your wife is a lady of few words .mostly quiet and smiles only. Love and hugs beautiful family ❤
Well, she does not talk too much on camera, that is my thing...
Really appreciate all your hard work
I am glad
Normally foreigners are treated with utmost courtesy..
Glad to watch your polite vlog capture. Hope you might have enjoyed Indian train journey. Safe Journey 🎉❤
I did!
Thanks for giving your positive thoughts too👍
Different cultures religion practices following in india acceptance open heartedly...
respect dignity..
enjoy train journey cheapest in the world,..
thank you
the people are going to Velankani which is a very popular catholic shrine dedicated to Mother Mary.
Yes I will visit one day
started watching u from ur first Indian train Journey u do it the best cheers
thanks mate
Love it, great video.
thanks mate
Great Family ilike ur Family,, 🎉🎉🎉💐💐💐💐jai bharath 🌷
I am one of your new subscriber.very natural the way you narrate everything.
thanks mate
You have to read as Mayil aadu thurai which means peacock dancing location or place. Most of the Tamil nadu places will have reason names. Kudos to you for taking your family along with you for all the places bro 🥰🥰🥰🥰
thanks for this mate
Very nice 👌 beautiful 👌 welcome to India 🇮🇳 all of you ❤🙏 enjoy your trip all of you and take care all of you from Kolkata namaste ♥️ 🙏
Thank you so much 😊
Great that you got the seats for the train ride to Trichy. A very cooooool journey indeed. Happy exploring the new place/town. Looking forward to the next video. Cheers, Sir. Happy travels to you and family.
Thanks a bunch
@@yvesthesleeve my pleasure. Best regards and ❤️ to your lovely family.
Nice video. I recollected my student days, when I was making lots of trips with and without reservations etc.
I like indian train station.Every train station in China looks the same.But every train station in india looks different.Every station has.It's personality.
That is true
5:53 Actually the Yellow line painted on the platform is mark for a safe distance. For safety need to stand outside the yellow line. You guys kept Dylans stroller inside the yellow line. It's not a good practice. Next time you guys travel on train, stay outside of yellow line away from platform when a train is moving.
alright
18:13 he said "junction" ... in indian railway speak it means the station serves another branch of service ... so people come here to expressly board another connecting train ... up to a limit that train departure is delayed i guess so that people get to board if another train is delayed ... i say "i guess" because i do not know for sure ... usually schedules are designed so that you can transfer to new platform in comfort and then wait for some time for connecting train to arrive ... if you miss and it was reserved then you lose reservation and wait until next day for connecting train or elect to cancel missed leg part of ticket and get partial refund and take another transport
I see thanks
Brother very good video ❤
thanks so much
Ur Andhra Pradesh videos hav great views❤
they do
It was running full until Mayiladuthurai (which used to be called Mayuram in easier times back in the day), and then all the pilgrims got off to go off to Velankanni. That emptied out the train.
Yes I now realise that
MAYAVARAM BRO
I remember in your last trip to India last year you did travel in train from Mumbai to somwhere else, this is not the first time
Of course this is not the first time, I have traveled 20 years
@@yvesthesleeve but in the beginning of the video you said it is the first time you were travelling by train in India
Railway junctions are big stations where trains passengers shuffle to other trains and the compartments will be removed and attached to other engines to different destinations
Okay
so, youu are skipping Kumbakonam, which is the real temple town, with many major temples nearby. and also, the Dharasuram temple, few Kms from Kumbakonam, UNESCO heritage temple, no entrance fee, not much crowd, a must visit temple.
cannot go everywhere unfortunately
As always you are one of the best
thanks a bunch
Can imagine how difficult it must be for your family
Not difficult at all
You are a endless source of enjoyment !!!!!!!!!!!!!
I try
A huge Hindu temple at Srirangam is a major attraction in Trichy.
Yes I know
Not only the foreigners who struggle to pronounce,It's also difficult to pronounce south Indian words for a north indian.😂
Oh I am sure
Hail your courage to travel like that
thanks mate
those people from Andhra were going to Velankanni a poplar church for Christian
Yes apparently
Oh you missed Kumbakonam and Thanjavur and skipping to Trichy. Both are must visit places. Hope you take a day trip back from Trichy to both those cities. A day should suffice to hit the must visit spots.
cannot visit all places, we are under pressure
@@yvesthesleeve Understood. But those two places should be on the list of anyone visiting Tamil Nadu. But you are/ were right there within an hour's travel from Trichy and your train went through those places!
hello, as usual always get good videos from you, good vibes and simply awesome. I've got some catching up to do since I was away from home on business trip so couldn't see ypur vids that often. I'll catch up somehow. love ypur vids in india, its just awesome and I hope you're making it better in the algorithms
thanks, it is looking up
@@yvesthesleeve I'm so glad and happy for you and your family. God bless and hope it will be more prosperous.
Enjoy yr trip n new discovery mate

A pleasent train journey... Kids played very well...
indeed
Brother,
Most of the people are going to "Velankanni Church" in that group ...
That's why they finished the train journey at "Myladumthurai".
"Velankanni" the most famous Shrine of Mother Mary in South India, Commonly known as "Mother of Health".
Don't forget to visit there next time.
With love from India,
Jiji Antony Kottiath
Yes, will visit next time
True one send 💯
cheers
Wish... happy journey..
thanks mate
If yes can you pls tell me when, because im from there i can take you around, there is a palace near nagercoil and tiruparapu water falls , and much more things to explore
Good job. Have a great time in thiruchi.
Sri uk

World oldest language Tamil (தமிழ்). Tamil language above 5000 years old.
Yes
🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤good job brother,,
thanks bro
S3 is sleeper 3, 3rd bogey, u have 3 seats means full beanch
yes sure
Whoa U replied to all the comments
I try...
I like it Mr moon enjoy with family take care
thanks
Those people were Christians, travelling all the way down from Andhra Pradesh to go to the famous shrine at Velankanni. That station, Mayiladuthurai, was the closest to bus to Velankanni. You, of course, went on by way of Kumbakonam to Trichy. Or, properly speaking, Tiruchirapalli, the town with the rock temple.
yes very interesting
That is Tiruchirapalli or in short Tiruchi or Trichy. It was a tongue twister for you indeed.
Yeah kind of
Happy bro
Take care
thanks
Train journey in India is always the best journey where you interect with lots of people of different cultures and religions and they all eagerly looking to exchange and explore your views. Definitely it's a very happy train journey from chidambaram to tiruchchirappalli since you had reserved your seat.your lovely children and wife are definitely very happy with this train service. Greenish field and plants make you happily & instinctive feeling. Very good vlog 😊
thanks so much
Awesome 😂
State of andhrapradesh visit East godavri, soooo beautiful vilages and temples etc....
Tamil is THE ANCIENT CULTURE IN HOLE WORLD ❤
sure
Tamil culture is even older than this universe. Tamil people are the smartest people in the whole universe. Tamil language is the older than bigbang event. Tamil people are so intelligent ❤
Hey moonshine, I enjoy overnight especially in AC coaches. You could booked ticket in 3AC in advance , better experience you could have. Try another time by booking in advance. Have a safe journey!
We cannot afford AC trains, but thanks
@@yvesthesleeve 😀😀nice joke!
That's Thanjavur district which is called rice granary of Tamilnadu
interesting
it's funny because i have been in India, like more than 10 years ago, and I've taken many trains, Rajdhani, and they were exactly like these, the only change is the outside color, and perhaps they go little bit faster ? but the sleeper wagons looks kind of the same,
Yes I remember them being the same as years ago.
Rajdhani doesn't have sleeper coaches.Currently it have introduced smart Tejas sleeper in 4 of its train.But normally it's full AC.
You are in Chola country, which is basically agriculture oriented. Mostly rice fields. You should have visited the Mangrove forest which is not far away from Chidambaram. :)
so many things
Chola got defeated and destroyed bro by Muslims 😢 only pandian was there. 😮
Please Come " great Coimbatore".. in Tamilnadu.
Will try
Man you are hilarious. I couldn't stop laughing when you tried to say that place in Tamil 😂
Haha
@@yvesthesleeve where are you from sir
they all are going to velankanni which is a Christian church a big popular pilgrimage.
So I heard.
S series is sleeper class A, B are aur conditioned CC is ac chsir car etc
okay thanks
You are incredibly extraordinary. I would never go or take my kids in townbuses and unreserved trains or eat in any small hotels. I feel sick immediately and that too water which ruins my entire trip to India if I am not careful.
Oh wow, this is all so easy though...
22:46 😂😂😂the bearth is not for ghost. Actually AC compartments have attendants to take care of pillows, blankets for passengers. The bearth is for them.
Maybe I will try once a AC compartment
@@yvesthesleeve yeah try it. Original train experience we will get in Sleeper class but in AC compartment, travel will be very peaceful.
I suggest you to try AC 3 tier compartment / Garibrath trains for economical travel in AC train.
Since you are in Tiruchi, please visit Srirangam temple
❤❤❤ வாழ்த்துக்கள் அண்ணா 🥰🥰
18:47 He said they are all going to the 'popular Church' , at Velankanni
thanks
