Sorry on this video I was using a new camera and accidentally had the "zoom" function on half the time because I'm a dum dum. Not a big deal but at times you'll have to bear with a closeup on my incredibly handsome face.
You mean it wasn't a deliberate artistic decision to emphasize the claustrophobic like experience that would be navigating that market? Could've fooled me
There are two countries that I will never step my foot in and those are USA and India. India, in particular, is a large bulky waste country. What a shitland, they really need to do something about it.
Spend some significant time in India and you will miss it when you leave, everywhere else feels lifeless. One woman refused to go to the UK because it felt like a prison how quiet it is and I totally understood her coming back after six months in India.
after a few days, you don't notice the noise and insanity. Just like in Western countries, you don't notice how silent and eerie the suburbs are (esp in the US). Its what you are used to
As someone who lives in India, that constant honking is overwhelming for me too. That's why I still haven't been able to ride bikes. As they say, India isn't for beginners

DumDum got its name from the locals. It used to house the British barracks and locals got used to the sounds of Canons firing up which sounded Dom Dom and thats how the place got its name. It was later on settled by mostly refugee families from Bangladesh (Then East Bengal/East Pakistan). Thats how the place got very congested. It has improved somewhat in recent years, it was much worse when i grew up there.
During the 19th century the area was home to the Dum Dum Arsenal, a British Royal Artillery facility. It was here that, in the early 1890s, Captain Neville Bertie-Clay developed a bullet with the jacket cut away at the tip to reveal its soft lead core (see hollow-point bullet), known informally as a dum-dum[4][5][6][7][8][9] or more correctly as an expanding bullet. The previous name of Dum Dum was "Domdoma". Some resources claim that the Persian word damdama, which means "mound" or "elevated battery," is the source of the word Dum Dum.------------from wikipedia
You mention Bangladesh. Do you know why Bangladesh citizens are so keen on staring at foreigners? No kidding, I watched a video where the vlogger sat down on a seat while riding a ferry, and at least 15 random people walked directly up to him and stared, saying nothing. Very bizarre and interesting lol.

Thank you so much for taking me through the streets of Kolkata. My city. Though I live in Dubai now, I remember my home every minute of the day. Get emotional.

I travelled to Delhi this February after having spent a beautiful month in China - Shanghai, Wuhan, Hangzhou, Jingdezhen. I cannot describe how shocking this was when I arrived late night in Delhi - the harassment, the incredible noise of traffic and honking, the dirt and garbage everywhere, the smells, the cheating - left after one week, much earlier than planned and guess will never want to go back. I was already there for 2 months in the Eighties with backpack, traveling around on my own, but maybe when younger curiosity and resilience was stronger then.
Your racist mindset is clear. Delhi is absolutely not the representation of India. Many western youtube travel vloggers have warned regarding this misconception. You will cherry pick the worst places in India whereas in China you will randomly visit the places. I mean India has so many beautiful, decent places. You ignored South Indian cities, cities in Northwestern India and entire Northeast India. You pinpointed Delhi and that also you visited Old Delhi because your racist mindset loves to see India as dirty and backward. Shame on you. Your behaviour is contrasting to Israelis who visit the northwestern Himalayan region of Himachal Pradesh in India to relax. India is it has many shortcomings but overall the country is just amazing with such an insane diversity in its geography. The regions of India vary to such an extent with Snow capped ethereal mountains aka the himalayas in the North, vast desert in Northwest, amazing plateaus in the Central region, beautiful sea coasts and tropical backwaters in the far south and mangrove forests in the east. Apart from the geography, India has such a wide variety of wildlife species many of them endangered like Royal Bengal Tigers, Rhinos, Red Panda, Snow Leopard,etc. The country has literally hundreds of different ethnic groups with languages, cultures widely different from each other for example a person of Kashmir looks completely different to a person from Kerala and both of them are again different from a Northeast Indian.Northwest India ( Kashmir- Gulmarg, Pehelgam, Ladakh, Himachal Pradesh- Manali, Shimla, Dharamsala, Rishikesh) Northeast India ( Sikkim, Arunachal Pradesh, Meghalaya, Nagaland) Kerala, Goa, Hampi, Ellora, Madurai, Oooty, Munnar, Doodhsagar.

I think you should watch Sabbatical's other videos and shorts on India before making such biased comments generalizing the whole country. Moreover speaking of China what you saw I what the government showed you. Try visiting those huge buildings and see how the citizens live inside. Watch the documentaries of their living standards in the youtube videos by South China Morning Post, DW News and Vice Asia. Their coffin apartments and prison homes. There is a proverb: All the glisters aren't gold. Chinese people are below Indian people in hospitality in rural areas. Try visiting a rural place in India and see their hospitality towards guests. They invite foreigners to their home for lunch or dinner something rare in China. Also videos by youtube channels like Serpentza, Iaowhy 86, China Observer, China Insights, China Insider with David Zhang, Adv China show the horrible reality of China. If China is so great why do Chinese form the greatest cohort of illegal immigrants trying to sneak into America through southern border? I am not a racist but a realist. You are a racist instead. I don't like a country which condones terrorism and genocide of the world's most ancient civilization which is at war with Islamists currently.
Go north east or South , Delhi is probably the worst option, most of the north cities are ( I am from north India) . But yeah North east india is still unexplored by Many ( even Indians) . Sorry for your experience.
I see Kolkata has not changed since I was last there. There are actually some pretty chill relaxing areas in the city, they take some finding. Some of the parks are beautiful.
4 or 5 months ago I decided to motorbike across Vietnam, after a few months there and having the best experiences ever - I decided to try getting my motorbike into Cambodia... And I did! Travel bug hit me, I became a little lonely, bored and lost a bit of passion, and whilst watching one of your videos from a hotel in the capital city... I made the decision to buy a gopro, throw stuff on youtube and tiktok, and just yolo. I've watched you for so many years, and I've commented the same before - you are the best! Humble, kind, real, confident. I absolutely adore you, and I thank you for what you've done for me
The thing to keep in mind is how unique India is. My conclusion was the same - India is the biggest culture shock of any place I've been; the most stressful, but also the one most capable of producing surprises. Note that the people you met were kind and honest. I remember being utterly burned out by the time I left, but I have several memories that make me smile.
bro he is in West Bengal Kolkata. It’s the most most density wise populated area. Plus he has gone to urban small slum type market. I am Indian but I could show similar places in other countries too. Half truth is more harmful then a lie. And it’s true Indian is loud but the video is a over exaggerated version and a half truth lie.
@@AltOurCumrade So you want to say that most places are quite and a few olaces are noisy like these!? I've travelled Mumbai, Surat, Chennai, Mangalore, Bangalore, Kolkata, Patna, Kanpur, Lokhna, Ahmedabad, Nagpur, Srinagar, Jamshedpur, Barasat, Purulia, Punjab, Kochi, Bhubaneswar, Varanasi ! I travelled slum and non-slum both areas around those cities. Noise pollution feels like almost same to me as well. I just found some posh areas of those cities quite & calm. I suggest you to visit cities of China, Thailand, Brazil, Mexico. You will experience the difference about noise pollution among those and Indian ones as well. Man, I can assure you that the cities of those countries are more more & calm compared to the Indian cities. You can check by yourself, if you don't want to believe me.
It is so lovely to see the most endearing characteristics, kindness and friendliness and generosity of other cultures. Even when crowding and other pressures might give way to our worst qualities. There are always kind and generous people all over this Earth. Such a great reminder to be kind and enjoy the kindness of others. I think your videos are gems. There are always some endearing cultural quirks that are adorable and I hope never fade. Like in this culture, the slight head tilt to the left as they speak honestly and in earnest to you is wonderful. I love this.
Bro British doesn't united india, they just give independance to 500+ princely state, and give then options to either join india or Pakistan or make a separate nation, it's the person sardar vallabhai patel negotiated with these princely states and united india..
If British didn't invade India in the colonial-era, then Indian sub-continent would be a place of several countries way more than 3 countries at present state. It wpuld be quite possible that all states would be independent countries. I'm not glorifying those British colonists at all. They are bad. But it's a fact.
@@koushikdas1992 if British never occupy india, india would be like current European Union, where each and every country had unique features , culturally and linguistically and people don't need to compromise their culture due to majoritian north indian based politics, more over every country ( states) would be wealthier than current eu group, and can form economic and militarily co- operation to make the group of indian Union more powerful
It depends on you how smart you are as a tourist what you want to do .....why would a tourist be visiting the busiest flower market situated just next to busiest railway station in India....when you are in New York what would you like to visit the dirty back alleys or Manhattan

That's Kolkata for you. To me, Kolkata is nothing but a wasteland. In contrast, the town I live in is loads better. Far from most of the conflict, Far from all that waste, Far from all that crowd, Far from all the honking. It is well planned, with trees spread out all along the roads, and these trees were planted decades ago.

Bro I love your videos! I saved up quite a bit of money during my high school years and was ready to fly over to Europe with just a backpack full of shit and hopefully make it work. I mapped out a whole month and located hostiles for myself along the way…unfortunately I got my girlfriend pregnant and found out three months before I graduated. I believe Everything happens for a reason and I was meant to stay here and learn for these kids(I have a total of 4 now and I’m 34)and to be honest it probably saved my life…but I’m living vicariously through you brother!!

just out of curiosity, for how long did you try to learn hindi before you went to India? I know it is tricky, the hindi pronunciation on an american tongue but you are Tommy lol! Love your videos I got into languages because of you. Idolo puro sos
@@SabbaticalTommyTommy, if I may piggyback off this comment and ask please, if you don't mind, which resource did you use to learn? I am leaving for India myself in a week and trying to study Hindi too.

You nearly passed by my home in Dum Dum, and my previous home was near Sealdah. I am from Calcutta (Kolkata) and live in San Francisco now. When I go back once a year, I wouldn’t dare to go as deep as you did. I’m sure you got stared at a lot. You’re a brave and tireless man. Cheers!
I’d also add that there are really nice and civilized places in South Calcutta that I enjoy visiting to this day. Good cafes, mix of Indian and British architecture and pleasant neighborhoods.

Many people when traveling in India, prophylacticly take antibiotics to prevent getting sick from the street food. In Malaysia, my home for 17 years, the only time I was sick was from Indian food outside of KL.
@@atharvatar Have you ever traveled abroad or watched Anthony Bourdain? Street food is the best food and Indian food is fantastic. Everyone knows the secret is the filth. Not really but but dirt happens and it's part of the experience. In all the countries I've lived I've never missed the street food. It's always great. When I lived in Turkey I was sick almost every week but there was no way I was going to miss the food. Those "nice" places are generally for tourists and they never taste right.
I'm Indian but some of the cities in India are quite overwhelming due to the sheer noise, population, and speed at which the city works at. Some cities were a culture shock for me too despite living in India all my life. Hope you have a fun time here!
In the end Tommy, everybody just wants to be able to look after their families. Enjoy the adventure. Appreciate you sharing. Greetings from South Africa.
@@vikramgurung3043 Dude its good that such videos will get attention, we need every shame there can be so that the municipalities actually start working
I don't understand these bloggers. There are actually calm nice places but regardless of gazillion videos of how the bad cities are. They still keep coming here instead of going to those calm places.
I went to India 8 years ago. I often think of the massive amounts of chaos happening there at all times. Absolute bananas place to go. But also incredibly awesome at the same time.
God I wouldn't wish my worst enemy there, the diarrhea, constant stench, everyone trying to scam you, women that get harrassed. Some folks are nice though.
You need to watch videos of "moonshine and lemongrass" a Swiss couple traveling in India with their kids and enjoying the food. You need to have to know places and general idea what is good place and bad place, and you'll be fine.
lol :( I'm not even sure how they even maintain that chaos, somethings gotta give, water(isnt in good shape, water wars sooner or later for other countries, and our own), food, environment, many other factors. maintaining a billion pop #... I don't think thats possible over 100-200 coming years.
India got it's independence in 1947 and has more than 1..4 billion people india is very diverse u can't judge whole india based on this ask him to go banglore Mumbai goa Manali Lucknow u will be shocked after 1947 when Britishers left west bangal cpi came in power and all industries shifted towards sea connected areas also main reason of this chaos increase in muslim population in West Bengal they live in dirty place and make other places dirty too
@@milklordnomadic Nature finds a way to sort itself out.. Nothing in life is fair. Resources will always run out to a certain time frame; people think these resources are gonna last forever... I hope as humans as a whole, we do figure out something in the future, as it'll be very bleak and disastrous for the next generous of humans.
Dude... The people saying rough things about India need to be a little bit respectful. The world it's big and there are different cultures and different ways of life, and thats what it makes it so fascinating. Don't forget that we are all humans. Nice Video as always Tommy, keep it up!
Some of those tight streets between homes look really nice not gonna lie. I wonder what they are like on the inside. It looks kinda chill to stay there as long as you stay away from that horrible center.
Wow, the flower market in Kolkata looks absolutely vibrant! I love how colourful everything is, and the atmosphere seems so lively. Has anyone else visited this market before?
Maybe when I was a young man like you then I could handle the streets of Calcutta. I’m 72 and would be a little anxious I’m sure. I’ve been to Manila, Tokyo and other crowded places, but this was a bit much for me.
Go to New York and las Vegas and many part in America feel real weed smells. Wtf 😂😂😂 1:39 If you are in America first you need a bullet proof jacket . Gun violence happens every day. Buy some Chinese made bullet proof jacket😂
I order Ayurveda (various arishta fermented concoctions) from India and the price is adjusted to the North American market which means that they make so much profit that not only they offer free DHL delivery, but if the package gets intercepted by the (Canadian) customs and there are extra fees asked by DHL, they reimburse those fees. Usually the packages just go by without hassle. It certainly could be nice to pay in rupees and assume the DHL charges, but as soon as the address is entered the prices change in dollars.
Not only a vibrant democracy, India is vibrant everywhere, the streets, the markets, the colorfulness, the sound, the smell, the people, the cows, everything! thanks Tommy for going there and give us this video, so I don't have to go myself
Imagine an Indian lady is telling you about a unique place where you could get some sound healing. So you go there and you sit inside a cozy little soundproof booth and you put on a pair of headphones and sit there silently and wait…… About 30 seconds later, the sound healing begins: Three hours straight of 80,000 horns honking in every sonic frequency perceptible to the human brain.😮😅
It's like watching people from another planet and then you think to yourself, damn, how do these people go through all this on a daily basis? You just have to watch and observe. Indians are truly built different.
This is what i love about you, you just randomly dive into a city with no idea of what to expect. If you wanted quiet, you should have explored salt lake and the newtown district. If you wanted hectic, you should have visited kalighat and other more centrally located areas like the south city mall. if you wanted a solid meal you should have gone oh calcutta or shiraz at the least - what really got to me however was that you didn't try the sweet shops, rasmalai and baked rasgulla are the best as long as you're not lactose intolerant :)
@@samarthbagwe1736 Actually, even the woke hell society is not nearly as bad as the Indian hell society. People do vote with their feet - I have not heard of India having a problem with illegal migration from the West yet.

@samarthabagwe1736 “woke” up this morning and it’s so quiet on my clean street you could hear birds singing with no garbage scent in the air, just a hint of bacon and cinnamon coming from the wife cooking in the kitchen. Yes indeed it’s a hard pass on India!😃
The boat in the middle of that pond apparently is fixed in the middle and has a fountain jet in it which isn’t working. Welcome to India :) I often check your vlogs and whenever I go to India I land in Dum Dum airport and then catch the train from there to my city. Of the bit I can relate to after my visits, Kolkata is one of the major cities in India which doesn’t seem to have developed much in infrastructure after the nineties. Classic in its own way! Looking forward to see more of your adventures in India. Great Vlog.

Not Bengali, most of them speak Hindi. Bengali is just for one part of the country whereas Hindi is used everywhere.
Maybe you are in that region where they speak Bengali mostly. Once you come out of that area you'll know.
Just say Namaste to everyone, you'll be fine

Humble, kind, real, confident. I absolutely adore you, and I thank you for what you've done for me
What u calling your self on u tube
@@derekkearns3377 no idea, gotta change this name though. 🤣
The thing to keep in mind is how unique India is. My conclusion was the same - India is the biggest culture shock of any place I've been; the most stressful, but also the one most capable of producing surprises. Note that the people you met were kind and honest. I remember being utterly burned out by the time I left, but I have several memories that make me smile.
and the dirties.

@@AltOurCumrade So you want to say that most places are quite and a few olaces are noisy like these!? I've travelled Mumbai, Surat, Chennai, Mangalore, Bangalore, Kolkata, Patna, Kanpur, Lokhna, Ahmedabad, Nagpur, Srinagar, Jamshedpur, Barasat, Purulia, Punjab, Kochi, Bhubaneswar, Varanasi ! I travelled slum and non-slum both areas around those cities. Noise pollution feels like almost same to me as well. I just found some posh areas of those cities quite & calm.
I suggest you to visit cities of China, Thailand, Brazil, Mexico. You will experience the difference about noise pollution among those and Indian ones as well. Man, I can assure you that the cities of those countries are more more & calm compared to the Indian cities. You can check by yourself, if you don't want to believe me.
It is so lovely to see the most endearing characteristics, kindness and friendliness and generosity of other cultures. Even when crowding and other pressures might give way to our worst qualities. There are always kind and generous people all over this Earth. Such a great reminder to be kind and enjoy the kindness of others. I think your videos are gems.
There are always some endearing cultural quirks that are adorable and I hope never fade. Like in this culture, the slight head tilt to the left as they speak honestly and in earnest to you is wonderful. I love this.
Bro British doesn't united india, they just give independance to 500+ princely state, and give then options to either join india or Pakistan or make a separate nation, it's the person sardar vallabhai patel negotiated with these princely states and united india..
If British didn't invade India in the colonial-era, then Indian sub-continent would be a place of several countries way more than 3 countries at present state. It wpuld be quite possible that all states would be independent countries. I'm not glorifying those British colonists at all. They are bad. But it's a fact.
@@koushikdas1992 if British never occupy india, india would be like current European Union, where each and every country had unique features , culturally and linguistically and people don't need to compromise their culture due to majoritian north indian based politics, more over every country ( states) would be wealthier than current eu group, and can form economic and militarily co- operation to make the group of indian Union more powerful

To me, Kolkata is nothing but a wasteland.
In contrast, the town I live in is loads better.
Far from most of the conflict,
Far from all that waste,
Far from all that crowd,
Far from all the honking.
It is well planned, with trees spread out all along the roads, and these trees were planted decades ago.

I mapped out a whole month and located hostiles for myself along the way…unfortunately I got my girlfriend pregnant and found out three months before I graduated.

Many people when traveling in India, prophylacticly take antibiotics to prevent getting sick from the street food. In Malaysia, my home for 17 years, the only time I was sick was from Indian food outside of KL.

or just eat from a good enough place, not that hard? If the signage looks dirty and the person isnt well dressed and all dont eat from there.
@@atharvatar Have you ever traveled abroad or watched Anthony Bourdain? Street food is the best food and Indian food is fantastic. Everyone knows the secret is the filth. Not really but but dirt happens and it's part of the experience. In all the countries I've lived I've never missed the street food. It's always great. When I lived in Turkey I was sick almost every week but there was no way I was going to miss the food. Those "nice" places are generally for tourists and they never taste right.

Google Bengal Famine then Judge the place
Atleast we don't shoot kids in school
You need to watch videos of "moonshine and lemongrass" a Swiss couple traveling in India with their kids and enjoying the food. You need to have to know places and general idea what is good place and bad place, and you'll be fine.
The constant horns peeping, traffic chaos, open sewers, the poverty, my idea of hell.

I order Ayurveda (various arishta fermented concoctions) from India and the price is adjusted to the North American market which means that they make so much profit that not only they offer free DHL delivery, but if the package gets intercepted by the (Canadian) customs and there are extra fees asked by DHL, they reimburse those fees. Usually the packages just go by without hassle. It certainly could be nice to pay in rupees and assume the DHL charges, but as soon as the address is entered the prices change in dollars.

So you go there and you sit inside a cozy little soundproof booth and you put on a pair of headphones and sit there silently and wait……

This is what i love about you, you just randomly dive into a city with no idea of what to expect.
If you wanted quiet, you should have explored salt lake and the newtown district. If you wanted hectic, you should have visited kalighat and other more centrally located areas like the south city mall. if you wanted a solid meal you should have gone oh calcutta or shiraz at the least - what really got to me however was that you didn't try the sweet shops, rasmalai and baked rasgulla are the best as long as you're not lactose intolerant :)
