I am not from India, but I truly love Indian cultural heritage. Spirituality, ashrams, Indian food, ancient architecture... India was and will be the ultimate spiritual destination. personally I think that Indians should not be ashamed of the poverty that is shown openly in India and that is well hidden and camouflaged in the West. On my wish list is to visit the country and what I want to see is definitely not KALI YUGA. I've had enough of it, seen all its sides, live in it. West is not poor like India but it is real Feudalism and slave society packed in Prada bag.
Now what's happening is that Eastern countries are trying live the way you guys are living and western countries are tired of being materialistic and have realized that material things can't buy happiness. It's sad that new generation of india doesn't know much about spiritualism, they think spirituality means leave your house and family and go to himalayas.
Indus Valley Civilization is the oldest and most well-developed civilization of the past. But Invaders looted India for many centuries. Only Britain looted 45 trillion dollars from India.
I visited India every year for 6 months since 1989....Is is my adopted country.....I love love love the food, the people, the culture, the music, the art, the long train travels.....I even worked for 3 months for Bollywood as an extra 🤣.....I learned to sing cook indian food and language....the lockdown stopped all that but soon I will return and I can't wait.....Jay Bharat Mata 🇮🇹💖🇮🇳
看到印度取得如此大的进步，我作为一个中国人感到非常的欣喜，亚洲的荣光到了！希望普通的印度人也能享受美好幸福的生活，我们是亚洲最大的两个国家，如果两个国家都能繁荣并且保持和平，那是世界的幸运。加油印度！从中国发来的祝福！As a Chinese, I am very happy to see India making such great progress. The glory of Asia has arrived! I hope ordinary Indians can also enjoy a good and happy life. We are the two largest countries in Asia. If both countries can prosper and maintain peace, it is the luck of the world. Come on India! Greetings from China!
@@ohyeah4953 we dint invade anyone's territory, indian was invaded my mugals for 600 years and colonized by British for 200 years. We our self got independence , and during independence we lot 2 parts of our land for Muslim people as they wanted thier own country ( Pakistan and bangladesh) and suddenly China comes from no where and starts taking our land some pasrt of ladhak. We already faced so many problems and suddenly our neighbor China is asking for more land which belongs to us!! Do you think what China is doing is right??
I love the diversity and will be going to India for the first time in a couple of months! I will be eager to experience everything opposite of what you showed in New Delhi. Hehe. Right when I see those high end shops, Starbucks, etc., it's a BIG turnoff. I would feel like I'm BACK in the U.S where everything is so typical and ridiculously overpriced.
@@teresaharris-travelbybooks5564 When I buy their overpriced stuff, I will. I want to experience India, not support Western franchises. I come from USA poverty, middle lower class. My net worth is ZERO. I can still go to India on my meager retirement. My body is seasoned but still strong. My mind is sharp as a tack. But, my stomach can not handle bull shit. Buying their overpriced coffee will not make me feel on top of the game. There is no game. Some of us have actually grown out of being children. I am going to India in June, to New Delhi. I will steer clear of the money traps, including the beggars.
You ought to visit North Eastern part of India too .... your perceptions about India will totally change and respect the diversity of this mysterious country.
Bro people fight bw tribes there first learn to live with each other peacefully then invite others,people don't need invitation they know where to go and where not to
For a biking trip, there is no place better than Ladakh or Spiti Valley. It's amazing. Seeing how much you enjoyed Gangotri, Ladakh or Spiti Valley will blow your mind!!!

Gabi ! I always enjoy your videos. Being a flight attendant for a major US airline, we, the Crew , Always stay in Aerocity on regular basis…I like it. After a whole day in old Delhi, it’s a great area to relax , away from dust and chaos. I am glad you’re showing us different part of this amazing country. I will never get tired of flying there.
finally someone vising nice places in india ...as many people only tend to visit the slum areas and try to show india poor and undeveloped ...thank you so much gabi
India has indeed the most tasteful foods and drinks on earth. She presents the most beautiful yet glorious cultures, plus their extremely intelligent people and just so many more….. lucky you could go there as a single woman it is so far a bit uncertain for me to pay a visit to this rich in everything country Subhan’Allah
Me being Indian , born in delhi living in delhi watching this ❤❤❤ it’s fun nice man. Central delhi, south Delhi and nowadays noida is also growing , like it’s nice to explore and have good lifestyle
Sorry to see you have been scammed by the Kobler. Next time anything similar situation arises in India, do not pay anything extra and try to approach the police. You can even dial the police helpline if the situation goes bad. Alternatively, you can approach the local people/shop and convey your concern. Hope you don't face such a situation again :) Thank you for visiting India.
Rs 40 is way too less, that should have been the first clue to a localite. Maybe u ask any nearby localite if the price seems right before falling into a scam. Unfortunately these scams are real particularly when the customer seems a foreigner
Gurugram and Noida (connected by Delhi metro) are far more developed but this will do 👍 Also you should visit Akshardham temple and Lotus temple in Delhi, completely worth it
Only main road of Noida and Gurgaon . The moment you go 100 meters from the posh area , it is same old shit story bro. No matter whether it is Noida , GGN or Delhi. But delhi is 50 years ahead in terms of infrastructure like road, lighting, water, power and law order.
Wow! What a difference in aesthetics from Old Delhi!…night and day. Thanks for showing us this modern side of Delhi. Your hair looks good but I too was expecting it to be a little more red. 😃
Actually the guy with burgundi hair used differently brand hair color than loreal color which Gabi used (as he was saying it cost him 40 rupees i.e. around half a $ only) & on top of that he said he colored it days back so his hair color changed to that color . The salon guy was telling Gabi in hindi *if his hair is colored black , he has to bleach it for that new color to work properly.
You would not believe I am watching this video maybe 4th or 5th time😊, the reason is I feel connected whenever I watch your videos (specially India videos ❤), I feel like as if I was riding the bike myself👍👌
Sorry mam.. looks like u miss understood something here.. Old areas r the only thing that map shows even right now.. People r dishing not because of old areas but because of people r confused about the cities.. "New Delhi" and "Delhi" r two different places.. ND is a city inside Delhi state.. we accept when people shows bad sides of New Delhi as well when u speak with real names... we have multiple places with similar names.. people often confuses and gives negative opinion towards a good side confusing with other place with similar name that they actually visited.. which gives a bad reputation overall. That's all..
@@moodymood28stop calling them mam/ sir we are not colonized or something. let them think whatever they want, we know that our country is developing don't want their validation and all
Just a tip, if you stay in Delhi, please make sure your hotel isn't in Paharganj. You'll find the cheapest hotels there for a reason. Dirty narrow busy streets with smell of piss. Moreover, its right next to the red light area called GB Road
Hey Gabi while you are in Delhi next time, do take out time to visit Akshardham Temple and Noida city (both are side by side), which is a satellite city of Delhi which is another well developed and modern city of India, very nearby and very convenient to reach from Delhi either by road or Metro!!! Cheers
Sorry for these idiots doing scam man.. hope govt will take action on them give foreigners better ,suitable happy experience of incredible experience.. happy journey brother 🙏
@@JPATEL98 we have 1 .4 billion population. India is working on it. Just some people are not happy with it for No Reason. Defending that Street guy is purely Nonsense. I am not Surprised you defending him.

Delhi has two faces, this one you showed in this vid. at the end is more stylish and more expensive, in some parts it looks like every upgreaded City on the Globe, with no expression - my opinion ! your hair is good, with sunshine it has a red touch. Great video !👍🙏Love❤India
Hey Gabi, very nice. For me it doesn't matter. Old India new India, I just hope to visit one day. Very very nice. Please keep coming out with more vlogs!!
2:17 I'm familiar only with these scums who think they are cool by showing Middle finger in the camera. As someone who have lived in Delhi my entire life I hate Delhi people the most especially these Chapris.
Nice, thanks for showing the good and the bad side of Delhi. Stayed in delhi for a day during my travel there coz I need to go back to Pune, i only remember the busyness. Also India Gate and Red Fort were closed during my visit. Looking forward to go back. Enjoy your travel and the food!!!😘
I just watched your travels for the first time in from Australia I was wondering can you put yourview on whether it’s safe to eat market food and drink the water in the poorer areas ! Love following ur adventure x
Tbh i have died many times after eating Street food but Because of taste. Haha.. Well better to purchase a packaged water bottle or carry your own water if you are foreigner. As an Indian we are accustomed to it. But mostly we also carry our own water bottles. And about stomach ache...it's because of spices..we also feel the same sometimes when we travel to a different State in India itself.
India has lots of colours ,From Mountains- sea-Deserts ....Lots of cultures ,Many Languages, Different Foods ,Crowded places like Old Delhi to Peace &Calm places in Himachal.....Poverty&Dirty to Developed and Rich society....Really India has lots of colours... Especially spiritual Calmness.... That's why it's not a Tour Or visit to this country but it's a JOURNEY ....Stay Blessed 🙏🙏
I think we should stop pressuring tourists that some parts of our country it not the real deal, modern or rural are both real. Both are part of reality. We should not be ashamed of the rural India. Because the truth is delhi is chaotic, The population in high and environment threat is real. We can't just show the preety parts and ignore the others. Both are real and we should be proud how far we have come
exactly old delhi is also delhi. if you can't fix it don't cry about it if some foreigners show it. also new delhi is not that developed as compared to western standards it's basically less shitty. by the way connaught place is not all white the bottom is always red with juban kesri and scammers like that shameless shoe cleaner guy. government need to take initiative to teach these scammers a lesson
Actually, we need to build morden infrastructure, city , dressing trends in our Indian styles it's not that being western Is bad, it's actually good , but we certainly have work to do for getting over our colonial hangovers and refine our cultural and civilization representation we can take Japan as example, I mean come on ppl don't visit different countries just for seeing a bunch of concrete iron and steel infrastructure it's the unique culture and society of the country.
Gabi, thank you for making this video. It calmed my fears of going to Delhi. I like Aero City. I can see myself staying there while venturing into the "unknown" side of New Delhi. lol I can then return back to the "Western" side of the city. Thanks for making this video. Much appreciated.
I was in Delhi on 2020, I saw the old Delhi and the New Delhi, love them both! I am American so I don’t want to see store from America, I love Old Delhi, there is many store there for Indian clothing for woman.
Nice, please do visit The Akshardham temple, New Delhi. I can bet you have never seen such architecture anywhere. It's so unique, huge and harmonious place 💖 Please do visit there🙏🏻 Also the Cyber city, Gurugram is modern
Love the way you interact with Indians regardless of where you are. The Orchha, Varanasi, and Jodhpur blew my mind. Next time you visit India, I would bet you'd love Kutch and Hampi. And if you're in Delhi again, there is Jantar Mantar near the admittedly overrated Janpath Market to make fore a better experience haha; it's a medieval astronomical site built by a former king of Jaipur.
Im From meghalaya .. i hope u can experience the nature beauty .. its is in northeastern India.. have a look from google .. how beauty meghalaya was🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏, we wellcome u
Nameste! I just discovered your videos yesterday and love them! So far I've only watched the ones from India. I am from Michigan in the USA and have been on two trips to India with Neem Karoli Baba devotees and Ram Dass students and friends. The first time was in 2016 and then in 2022. Both times we flew into New Delhi and visited Old Delhi as well. We traveled to many cities in northern India as far north as Nannital and Kanchi Dham. Both trips were so incredible. I love India and am so grateful for your videos. They are lovely and so inspiring. All One 💗
@@sepoy5346 truth hurts isn't it? India is under developed, you don't like to hear that even though you live in a mud hut made of cow dung somewhere in village of Delhi
Also please do not miss to visit Gurugram. It is called the millenial city of India, the most modern city. Very near to Delhi and comes under the National Capital Region (NCR)
Gurugram cyber city is I guess better than aerocity , must visit India gate at evening as it got a massive makeover like lawns and new sidewalks, India is also making it's new parliament House but it's under construction now, and don't forget to visit Ajanta and Ellora Caves
I am from Delhi and let me tell you there are still lot more modern places you have missed but that’s alright, as far as you know that India is not all about poverty and slum areas. Loved your honest reviews. Love from INDIA 🇮🇳
Your adventure through Aerocity was fascinating! It's impressive how developed and modern it is. How did you feel about the food scene there compared to other parts of Delhi?
Ya, Delhi has a larger modern side. As most of the capital cities of the world you have both good and bad side.. It's a paradise for food lovers.. You need to know where to eat.. Nice video gabi. I wish you could have come to Hyderabad it is a has a rice heritage and very well developed.. I can host you if you come here to Hyderabad.
Very interesting to see the newer parts of Delhi, as a tourist from Europe it doesn’t look as interesting as the older parts. Presumably the water is just the same.
I guess you are talking about the quality of the tap water in India. So if you stay in a high end gated community or with luxurious hospitality in India, the tap water in your hotel suite or in your high end apartment is not the same as the tap water in low income group localities or slums as the gated communities and luxurious hotels have their own water purification systems for drinking purposes and additionally wealthier people can anyway buy UV/RO based water purifying home appliance for their family use. In India municipal water treatment facilities for tap water supply in all major cities have vastly improved over the years yet tap water at the business end is a bit suspect, not because of any shoddy practise in the name of treatment but because of the antiquated underground water supply network with broken pipes through which sewage water or stormwater seep into the tap water supply system and it would incur huge expenses to replace the vast labyrinth of old supply network not possible to bear in the short term with low per capita tax collection and in the process the whole cityscape and the arterial roads would look like dug up graveyard blocading traffic and all meaningful socioeconomic activity for indefinite period. India has been constructing greenfield cities on acquired rural and agricultural real estates where land price and existing economic activity are less compared to existing irban spaces and hence cost of development would also be less and tap water quality won't be a concern in those cities once they are built. Coming to your observation that newer parts of Delhi do not look as interesting as older parts, well, India can not afford to remain poor to come across as interesting to foreign backpackers subconsciously gorging on poverty tourism of sorts either with the coolaid of multiculturalism and diversity or to seek validation from within regarding being thankful and fortunate to be born with privileges amidst systemic order in the developed west that is congruent with mainstream western narrative largely curated by western media and academia with unabashed stereotypes on the developing world, completely forgetful and unmindful of sequence of historical events that led to the difference visible in the modern day perspective, for example two century long colonial expropriation of India and the west reaping the dividends of early headstart and early harvest of fruits of industrial revolution whilst Indians, stripped of their sovereignty, lost the sway to dictate terms to their fate, their socioeconomic and sociopolitical discourse and remained stagnant in the contemporary timeframe. Everybody has a right to aspire and lead a wealthier and affluent life amongst opulence after all. So westerners have to cope with India gradually becoming more "uninteresting" that way. But India will remain interesting when it comes to Indian architecture visible with temples built even in the modern times, Indian festivities like Dussera, Diwali and Holi, Indian weddings and funerals, every day aspects of Indian lives very Indian in their own ways even if the work culture and infrastructure changes, India's spiritual and philosophical values, India's food, colors, costumes, culture, arts, songs, dance forms, movies, literature, India's many languages that are all inalienable to India's soul, apart from India's natural beauty and topgraohy that will also remain as interesting as today. So India still has hell lot to offer that might pique your interest even if congested crowded narrow streets astride nondescript lowrise slums with bullcarts and tuktuks plying on them, trash strewn around and vendors encroaching upon sidewalks selling their stuffs give away to modernised well planned and well maintained wide throughfares, more parks, water bodies, open spaces and squares, gardens, foodcourts, malls, better traffic and crowd management, more cleanliness and better overall living spaces in years ahead of us.
@@knightatdawndonbynight8432 yes it was the tap water I was enquiring about. Thanks for your detailed reply. I don’t disagree with the second paragraph. I first visited India in 1980 and travelled quite widely and though I had a great time I was very mindful of how hard life was for most Indians and how lucky I was that in England we could drink water from the tap without fear. Back then I did sometimes drink iced water from vendors in Delhi as there was only so much Limca, Campa Cola or Chai that I could drink. There was no bottled water available and someone told me that it was chlorinated ( I don’t suppose it was but there were no guide books in those days to inform you) and like you pointed out perhaps the pipes were in better condition India was very different then and has progressed a lot and I am not intending any criticism or desire for it to remain poor. I am also aware that most Indians live in the countryside and for many of them life will not have changed so much. I have no particular interest in visiting Starbucks, Nando’s or KFC whether it be in England or India and shopping Malls don’t interest me either. Last time I was in Delhi 4 years ago was with my son and though he regularly eats Indian food he tried the KFC , nice to have the choice - he said the chicken was much bigger and enjoyed it. Have you been to Chandigarh? I was very impressed though it did have what you would describe as a slum where the rickshaw riders lived Many western tourists will have some understanding of colonialism and partition. As you say there are lots of interesting sites to visit in India, many people are quite happy to visit Goa and enjoy 2 weeks in the sun. I don’t know but I imagine the Goan economy has benefited from tourism even if the ecology hasn’t Bfn
@@jonnyreggae100 hey man tbh everything has changed within 40 years........for eg during 1980s there is literally no houses were there in my street....you have to travel a lot to get even basic facilities in almost every major city.....but now there is literally houses at every corner and i can get all the basic facilities within 100m from my house.....i agree what you said slums do exist....but majority of them live in good houses as far as ive seen......but the main problem with major cities are that many poor people will come there aiming for a better life but end up building slums....mumbai is rich af per capita is 25k dollars but city is divided between rich and poor as you will find one of the richest and poorest people there......its not like new york where majritarily only wealthy people live...........And also our country side has changed rapidly within 30 years.......im in south india which is quite developed and there are literally no homeless people in my village and even 20 years back we have to travel atleast 30 km(17 miles) for good facilities but now we have world class hospital colleges and literally every kind of shops within 3km (1.5 miles) there is literally burger sanwitch shops near my village.....so yeah a lot has progressedin south especially but in central part of india everything is still same where majority live in poverty and people from that states only will flock into major cities and build slums............i think we came far from where we started or where we pushed into by your country
@@creativethinkers3214 yes big changes that you have lived through i have just had a snapshot, I have visited the south a couple of times and it seemed much cleaner and more relaxed particularly in Kerala . I was told that a lot of people worked abroad in the gulf states which enabled them to build houses, open businesses etc. Most of the Indians in Bolton are Gujerati but are settled here though some have built houses back in the villages which they visit in the winter. Never been to New York but although they may have clean water and sanitation there are many homeless people, it doesn’t have a welfare state like we do or did ! We now have beggars and people living on the streets, never thought I would see it here Hope that makes sense
@@jonnyreggae100 yeah I'm from Tamilnadu which is situated right next to Kerala. Kerala is really a tourism heaven and development there is pretty good. But so many youngsters are moving into other main cities in India and gulf from Kerala coz there is literally no job opportunities there. Since Kerala is a communist state all these years they never allowed a single industry No industrialidation so no job opportunities and it doesn't have any major city but yeah it has many pleasant places for tourism. Gujaraits are considered as money makers and top 5 richest persons in India come from Gujarat. Also if you have seen many Indian motels and hotels are actually owned by them gujaratis. You will often find Patel motels in USA. These guys own almost 60 percent of entire motels and small chain restaurants in USA. As you said poor people are everywhere in the world but yeah we are slowly developing and lifting people from poverty like 200 million people came out of poverty in last 10 years. Poverty rate is from 37 percent to 21 percent in last 10 years. I think in future we will be in a even more better situation compared to this. And also I'm a 2004 born so all these stories about their village life were told by my family members and now yeah I'm enjoying the development and facilities. Peace✌
India is an enchanting land of extremeties. Bangalore, Mumbai, Chennai, Hyderabad, Ahmedabad & of course the national capital region in and around Delhi like Gurugram is extremely modern and prosperous in certain areas. I love to see India grow and prosper!
Bro , you should not focus one some negative comments. They will always say visit this place , visit that place , visit my state , no matter what. So.....Personally I think you should try both modern and old Places. And also the larger part of Delhi , which is old Delhi is must because it's the majority.
Gabi, by default ALWAYS ask price for everything before agreeing on any service. I ran into a similar scam while riding through Granada in Spain. I agree with other commentators, if in such a situation, just ask any people around to help you out. PS: Do you mind sharing which backpack you're using?
Hey Gabi, extremely sorry that you got scammed. But if you seems to be get scammed just ask locals they will surely help you. Have a wonderful journey buddy. Love from 🇮🇳🇮🇳India.
Hey Man... First time saw your video... I am Indian... Very much liked your content... Subscribed... Very Sorry for cobbler Rs 500... In INDIA you can ask for help to the people around.... They will help you immediately like family... India is very big and diversified in people culture people food everything...So enjoy and be cautious for price before buying... Its everywhere in the world... In Europe and USA it effects more becos of currency... I loved your innocent presentation and the content... GOD Bless
sorry mate, Pune has been deteriorating since 2010. Overcrowded, has less vegetation, and heavy traffic, and is less cosmopolitan. In its full glory, it used to be like what Navi Mumbai is today
I live in Kolkata and the number of times roadside vendors try to scam any tourist is baffling. Whenever I spot them I make sure they learn some new vocabulary of sweet words. Its like they see a non-Indian and immediately 20 becomes 200 or 30 becomes 300.
Hahaha, I love how spontaneous you are, just meeting a guy whose hair color you like and then going the salon right away to get it done on yourself too 🤣 but yeah, if you want to dye dark hair, you have to bleach it first or otherwise the color won't stick. Maybe this time around it was to your advantage though... 😁 The coffee and sushi in Aerocity were super expensive, but I guess it should be expected because there you're paying a lot for the premises too, not just the food.
A lot of people confuse Aero City with Cyber City indeed both are crazy modern but in Aero City you don't have much to do that's just a place for people working around there to do a lil bit of shopping but Cyber city is better imo as there is more crowd malls, etc.
Words of wisdom from an Indian. If you are travelling to India. 1. Spend the extra money and book the 5 stars. In delhi the 5 stars are next to the airport in Aero city. If you are going to travel all day you should at least come back to a nice place to relax. Do not go book a hotel In Paharganj or Mahipalpur (It is a red light area where you will end up meeting escorts.) 2. Book Ubers. Do not tie up with local taxi people (even Indians don’t do that! Comeon! Unless you want to get scammed or kidnapped) Ubers are safer as they have trackers and set fares. If you are a tourist ( even better book the Uber premium so the taxi drivers are better) 3. The posh areas in Delhi are obviously- Khan market, Qutub-Mehrauli, CP is nice but all kinds of people go there. You need to watch out and not entertain strangers, South Delhi is more Posh than other places in Delhi. 4. The metro is alright but the best one happens to be the Orange Line which is also known as the airport line. They have cctvs so metros are safe. 5. Do not take the subway unless you want to get robbed. 6. We do not speak to strangers. If you are going to speak to everyone on the street get ready to either be scammed or sold drugs. (Female travellers- should avoid being in old Delhi or any area which doesn’t seem posh for their own safety after dark. In the posh areas of Delhi. You can stay out but only with company. 7. Truth be told- Delhi is porous. Has people from various states coming here for employment. Not all of these people are progressive or view women the same way. If you are too friendly you are easy. Societies are different and it’s better to understand the culture before you step in here. Do not entertain all kinds of people. If you are being harassed, scream. Call the police- 100, do not be compliant and invest in a good tour guide who speaks absolutely fluent English. We do not hire any person who speaks broken English in India for anything! You will be surprised how diverse this place is.
The Pullman Hotel in Aerocity is a great 5 star hotel. My daughter and son in law stayed a night there. I got to go with them when they checked in. I was very impressed. Connaught Place has the look of the British era, to me. We got takeaway food from Haldiram's, about where you got your shoes cleaned.
First of all sorry bro for your experience in Connaught Place(that scam part). You can also explore other areas nearby Delhi like cyber city in Gurugram.
Tu kyu sorry bol raha hai be india me badsurat bhi rehtey hai chapri type ke ab tuh unlogo ko bhi apna manega aur khud ko badsurat smjhney lagega toh ye shi nhi hai. 70% ish desh ki janta bhed hai
Oh man! I would never give you shit Gabi! I love seeing the old, poor areas. I traveled down the east coast from Kolkata to Chennai. Amazing! Stay well.
you should have come Gtb nagar which is surrounded by delhi's major famous market and top colleges and covers all in max 2km (Kamla nagar, Hudson lane , kigsway camp , mukherjeer nagar, and plenty of delhi university and lots )
Connaught Place is 90 years old so it's not very new. Khan Market is also not very old. But Aerocity is. Gurugram Cyber City is the newest i guess and it's part of Delhi National Capital Region (NCR)
Hi Gabi. try to Indonesia next, many interesting things in Indonesia, diverse culture, friendly locals, delicious food, very beautiful nature, and lots of historical places too, such as the old city, Borobudur temple and many more that cannot be mentioned one by one . I recommend several places such as Bali, the capital city of Jakarta, Komodo island, and the city of Jogja
Indonesia is my one of the dream places! It's my dream to visit the old hindu heritages and temples in indonesia... And i also wanna see the natural beautiful hills
Brother, I'm Indian, stayed around 8 years is Delhi and i was also victim of this shoes polish 😂 they just did the same started with 40 Rs and I end up paying around more than 200 INR, I bought that black shoes in around 600 INR. So sad.
tbh i prefer the quieter part of india. for your next adventure may i propose a trip to south america and the amazons. i see your spiritual awakening has already started. it'd be amazing to see you try ayahuasca retreats there.
WelCome in India. India is a great country but some of the people do not work hard to develop the nation. Your video is very good and I want you to continue making more and more videos i really like watching your videos they are interesting. God Bless you. Jai Shri Ram, Jai Shri Krishna.
The Shoe Polish Scam ! Classic Cannaught Place scam! NEVER fall for these kids! As a Delhite myself, they tried scamming me. Said 40Rs and after the work said "i said 240Rs" Incase you encounter them,just say you're calling the cops
I'm a victim of such scam but outside the Karol bagh metro station. I went to a mochi to fix my heel and he said 60 and then he did that sole and glue thing and then asked for 500. I shouted at him and said this is cheating. You didn't tell me, is this how you people scam foreigners and now scamming Indians. People around started watching us and then finally he had to come down to 100. 😂😂😂
Hey Gabi , remember whenever anyone tries to scam you just ask for help to anyone in the public,they will show these scammers their real place
Right bro, only we handle
Call police please they are making fool of u brother.. love from Dehradun, Uttarakhand
Yes Gabi that is true. If you are traveling alone, take a good guide with you, you will not be cheated anywhere.
Completely agree. Ask someone passing by. It would have been maximum 100rs if someone from local would have asked too. Taking help really helps.
Yes, people would definitely help you, look at this guy he is talking in very low voice

看到印度取得如此大的进步，我作为一个中国人感到非常的欣喜，亚洲的荣光到了！希望普通的印度人也能享受美好幸福的生活，我们是亚洲最大的两个国家，如果两个国家都能繁荣并且保持和平，那是世界的幸运。加油印度！从中国发来的祝福！As a Chinese, I am very happy to see India making such great progress. The glory of Asia has arrived! I hope ordinary Indians can also enjoy a good and happy life. We are the two largest countries in Asia. If both countries can prosper and maintain peace, it is the luck of the world. Come on India! Greetings from China!

这是你的假媒体告诉你的？全世界都知道印度从来没有入侵过任何国家……这是因为中国的政策是入侵其他国家……我们只相信和平与友谊，贵国相信什么就做什么……以高利率向有需要的国家捐款……当他们付不起钱给中国时，他们会拿走他们的港口、他们的城市、他们的机场……中国的主要政策是像那样或用武力入侵其他国家……
@@ohyeah4953 we dint invade anyone's territory, indian was invaded my mugals for 600 years and colonized by British for 200 years. We our self got independence , and during independence we lot 2 parts of our land for Muslim people as they wanted thier own country ( Pakistan and bangladesh) and suddenly China comes from no where and starts taking our land some pasrt of ladhak. We already faced so many problems and suddenly our neighbor China is asking for more land which belongs to us!! Do you think what China is doing is right??
Wow great words! Hello! Greetings from India. I really appreciate your words and thank you.
I love the diversity and will be going to India for the first time in a couple of months! I will be eager to experience everything opposite of what you showed in New Delhi. Hehe. Right when I see those high end shops, Starbucks, etc., it's a BIG turnoff. I would feel like I'm BACK in the U.S where everything is so typical and ridiculously overpriced.
my exact sentiment... 🤮
Welcome to India
@@heathens2867 Thank you my fellow "heathen"!
I promise you. You will NEVER think you are back in the U.S.
@@teresaharris-travelbybooks5564 When I buy their overpriced stuff, I will. I want to experience India, not support Western franchises. I come from USA poverty, middle lower class. My net worth is ZERO. I can still go to India on my meager retirement. My body is seasoned but still strong. My mind is sharp as a tack. But, my stomach can not handle bull shit. Buying their overpriced coffee will not make me feel on top of the game. There is no game. Some of us have actually grown out of being children. I am going to India in June, to New Delhi. I will steer clear of the money traps, including the beggars.
You ought to visit North Eastern part of India too .... your perceptions about India will totally change and respect the diversity of this mysterious country.

I am glad you’re showing us different part of this amazing country. I will never get tired of flying there.

As an INDIAN I am also got scammed plz be careful U will find many good peoples, wish you good luck ♥🙏
Me being Indian , born in delhi living in delhi watching this ❤❤❤ it’s fun nice man. Central delhi, south Delhi and nowadays noida is also growing , like it’s nice to explore and have good lifestyle
Gabi, it's nice that you took the effort to show Delhi in it's fullness
Sorry to see you have been scammed by the Kobler. Next time anything similar situation arises in India, do not pay anything extra and try to approach the police. You can even dial the police helpline if the situation goes bad. Alternatively, you can approach the local people/shop and convey your concern. Hope you don't face such a situation again :) Thank you for visiting India.
Not even police, if he was approach a local people, they also handle the situation.
950 is to much.
Rs 40 is way too less, that should have been the first clue to a localite. Maybe u ask any nearby localite if the price seems right before falling into a scam. Unfortunately these scams are real particularly when the customer seems a foreigner

Gurugram and Noida (connected by Delhi metro) are far more developed but this will do 👍
Also you should visit Akshardham temple and Lotus temple in Delhi, completely worth it
gurugram is just a scam. just pocket are developed like societies if you leave the area it's like apocalypse
👍🏻
❤️
Yes please do visit akshardham temple, it's so beautiful..💖
Only main road of Noida and Gurgaon . The moment you go 100 meters from the posh area , it is same old shit story bro.
No matter whether it is Noida , GGN or Delhi.
But delhi is 50 years ahead in terms of infrastructure like road, lighting, water, power and law order.
Wow! What a difference in aesthetics from Old Delhi!…night and day. Thanks for showing us this modern side of Delhi.
Your hair looks good but I too was expecting it to be a little more red. 😃
I think you got scammed in hair also,😆😆
North sides full of scammers
Actually the guy with burgundi hair used differently brand hair color than loreal color which Gabi used (as he was saying it cost him 40 rupees i.e. around half a $ only) & on top of that he said he colored it days back so his hair color changed to that color .
The salon guy was telling Gabi in hindi *if his hair is colored black , he has to bleach it for that new color to work properly.
You would not believe I am watching this video maybe 4th or 5th time😊, the reason is I feel connected whenever I watch your videos (specially India videos ❤), I feel like as if I was riding the bike myself👍👌
the fact that people are dishing the old areas as if they dont exist in the map shows u a lot about that country! just wow
What exactly r u trying to say here? Write properly first, and tell me what you said about my country...
Sorry mam.. looks like u miss understood something here..
Old areas r the only thing that map shows even right now..
People r dishing not because of old areas but because of people r confused about the cities.. "New Delhi" and "Delhi" r two different places.. ND is a city inside Delhi state.. we accept when people shows bad sides of New Delhi as well when u speak with real names... we have multiple places with similar names.. people often confuses and gives negative opinion towards a good side confusing with other place with similar name that they actually visited.. which gives a bad reputation overall. That's all..
@@moodymood28stop calling them mam/ sir we are not colonized or something. let them think whatever they want, we know that our country is developing don't want their validation and all

Having now watched with great interest all your videos in India I am convinced it would be worth visiting.
Just a tip, if you stay in Delhi, please make sure your hotel isn't in Paharganj. You'll find the cheapest hotels there for a reason. Dirty narrow busy streets with smell of piss. Moreover, its right next to the red light area called GB Road
This guy is very simple and down to earth. I love it.

@@ryansarai7899 For views ofcourse.
Hey Gabi while you are in Delhi next time, do take out time to visit Akshardham Temple and Noida city (both are side by side), which is a satellite city of Delhi which is another well developed and modern city of India, very nearby and very convenient to reach from Delhi either by road or Metro!!!

Thank you for this!! More balanced perspective on India is what the world needs. (Writing from U.S.)
This is the Delhi we are familiar with more but I really enjoy also visiting old Delhi for it's old world charm & it's super delicious food variety.
2:17 I'm familiar only with these scums who think they are cool by showing Middle finger in the camera. As someone who have lived in Delhi my entire life I hate Delhi people the most especially these Chapris.
Nice, thanks for showing the good and the bad side of Delhi. Stayed in delhi for a day during my travel there coz I need to go back to Pune, i only remember the busyness. Also India Gate and Red Fort were closed during my visit. Looking forward to go back. Enjoy your travel and the food!!!😘
Don't miss Chandni chowk, amazing market there.
If you are a master negotiator, you are like a king in India because bargaining is the main thing in India

Tbh i have died many times after eating Street food but Because of taste. Haha..
Well better to purchase a packaged water bottle or carry your own water if you are foreigner. As an Indian we are accustomed to it. But mostly we also carry our own water bottles.
And about stomach ache...it's because of spices..we also feel the same sometimes when we travel to a different State in India itself.
Great that you love it.

Here is watching from Northeast India. Welcome to our India very good brother.
India has lots of colours ,From Mountains- sea-Deserts ....Lots of cultures ,Many Languages, Different Foods ,Crowded places like Old Delhi to Peace &Calm places in Himachal.....Poverty&Dirty to Developed and Rich society....Really India has lots of colours... Especially spiritual Calmness.... That's why it's not a Tour Or visit to this country but it's a JOURNEY ....Stay Blessed 🙏🙏
I think we should stop pressuring tourists that some parts of our country it not the real deal, modern or rural are both real. Both are part of reality. We should not be ashamed of the rural India. Because the truth is delhi is chaotic, The population in high and environment threat is real. We can't just show the preety parts and ignore the others. Both are real and we should be proud how far we have come
exactly old delhi is also delhi. if you can't fix it don't cry about it if some foreigners show it. also new delhi is not that developed as compared to western standards it's basically less shitty. by the way connaught place is not all white the bottom is always red with juban kesri and scammers like that shameless shoe cleaner guy. government need to take initiative to teach these scammers a lesson
Totally agree with you.💯💯
Same thought 😅
Correct but dear it's just if he thought delhi is just old Delhi that's why he want to explore both na 😅
@@friendlyatheist9589 i guess new dehli is good and can be compared to parts of western world
Actually, we need to build morden infrastructure, city , dressing trends in our Indian styles it's not that being western Is bad, it's actually good , but we certainly have work to do for getting over our colonial hangovers and refine our cultural and civilization representation we can take Japan as example, I mean come on ppl don't visit different countries just for seeing a bunch of concrete iron and steel infrastructure it's the unique culture and society of the country.
Exactly
Your guide was honest very honest and nice❤
Gabi, thank you for making this video. It calmed my fears of going to Delhi. I like Aero City. I can see myself staying there while venturing into the "unknown" side of New Delhi. lol I can then return back to the "Western" side of the city. Thanks for making this video. Much appreciated.
I was in Delhi on 2020, I saw the old Delhi and the New Delhi, love them both! I am American so I don’t want to see store from America, I love Old Delhi, there is many store there for Indian clothing for woman.
I have never been to Delhi. After watching your videos I decided to visit soon. Excellent series of videos Gabi!
Nice, please do visit The Akshardham temple, New Delhi. I can bet you have never seen such architecture anywhere.
It's so unique, huge and harmonious place 💖
Please do visit there🙏🏻
Also the Cyber city, Gurugram is modern
Agreed
right
Love the way you interact with Indians regardless of where you are. The Orchha, Varanasi, and Jodhpur blew my mind. Next time you visit India, I would bet you'd love Kutch and Hampi. And if you're in Delhi again, there is Jantar Mantar near the admittedly overrated Janpath Market to make fore a better experience haha; it's a medieval astronomical site built by a former king of Jaipur.
Delhi is a great city. Both new and old 🇮🇳❤️

Nameste! I just discovered your videos yesterday and love them! So far I've only watched the ones from India. I am from Michigan in the USA and have been on two trips to India with Neem Karoli Baba devotees and Ram Dass students and friends. The first time was in 2016 and then in 2022. Both times we flew into New Delhi and visited Old Delhi as well. We traveled to many cities in northern India as far north as Nannital and Kanchi Dham. Both trips were so incredible. I love India and am so grateful for your videos. They are lovely and so inspiring. All One 💗

@@sepoy5346 truth hurts isn't it? India is under developed, you don't like to hear that even though you live in a mud hut made of cow dung somewhere in village of Delhi

Gurugram is also famous for internet scammers- check it out with Karl Rock

Aero ✈ CITY. a EMERGING INDIA 🇮🇳 ♥
I am from Delhi and let me tell you there are still lot more modern places you have missed but that’s alright, as far as you know that India is not all about poverty and slum areas. Loved your honest reviews. Love from INDIA 🇮🇳
Your adventure through Aerocity was fascinating! It's impressive how developed and modern it is. How did you feel about the food scene there compared to other parts of Delhi?
Ya, Delhi has a larger modern side. As most of the capital cities of the world you have both good and bad side.. It's a paradise for food lovers.. You need to know where to eat.. Nice video gabi. I wish you could have come to Hyderabad it is a has a rice heritage and very well developed.. I can host you if you come here to Hyderabad.
Still not developed it's need much more infrastructure project but thanks to kejrudin this will never happen
@@Evolvinggamer371 Lmao "kejrudin"
Very interesting to see the newer parts of Delhi, as a tourist from Europe it doesn’t look as interesting as the older parts. Presumably the water is just the same.
I guess you are talking about the quality of the tap water in India. So if you stay in a high end gated community or with luxurious hospitality in India, the tap water in your hotel suite or in your high end apartment is not the same as the tap water in low income group localities or slums as the gated communities and luxurious hotels have their own water purification systems for drinking purposes and additionally wealthier people can anyway buy UV/RO based water purifying home appliance for their family use. In India municipal water treatment facilities for tap water supply in all major cities have vastly improved over the years yet tap water at the business end is a bit suspect, not because of any shoddy practise in the name of treatment but because of the antiquated underground water supply network with broken pipes through which sewage water or stormwater seep into the tap water supply system and it would incur huge expenses to replace the vast labyrinth of old supply network not possible to bear in the short term with low per capita tax collection and in the process the whole cityscape and the arterial roads would look like dug up graveyard blocading traffic and all meaningful socioeconomic activity for indefinite period. India has been constructing greenfield cities on acquired rural and agricultural real estates where land price and existing economic activity are less compared to existing irban spaces and hence cost of development would also be less and tap water quality won't be a concern in those cities once they are built.
Coming to your observation that newer parts of Delhi do not look as interesting as older parts, well, India can not afford to remain poor to come across as interesting to foreign backpackers subconsciously gorging on poverty tourism of sorts either with the coolaid of multiculturalism and diversity or to seek validation from within regarding being thankful and fortunate to be born with privileges amidst systemic order in the developed west that is congruent with mainstream western narrative largely curated by western media and academia with unabashed stereotypes on the developing world, completely forgetful and unmindful of sequence of historical events that led to the difference visible in the modern day perspective, for example two century long colonial expropriation of India and the west reaping the dividends of early headstart and early harvest of fruits of industrial revolution whilst Indians, stripped of their sovereignty, lost the sway to dictate terms to their fate, their socioeconomic and sociopolitical discourse and remained stagnant in the contemporary timeframe. Everybody has a right to aspire and lead a wealthier and affluent life amongst opulence after all. So westerners have to cope with India gradually becoming more "uninteresting" that way. But India will remain interesting when it comes to Indian architecture visible with temples built even in the modern times, Indian festivities like Dussera, Diwali and Holi, Indian weddings and funerals, every day aspects of Indian lives very Indian in their own ways even if the work culture and infrastructure changes, India's spiritual and philosophical values, India's food, colors, costumes, culture, arts, songs, dance forms, movies, literature, India's many languages that are all inalienable to India's soul, apart from India's natural beauty and topgraohy that will also remain as interesting as today.
So India still has hell lot to offer that might pique your interest even if congested crowded narrow streets astride nondescript lowrise slums with bullcarts and tuktuks plying on them, trash strewn around and vendors encroaching upon sidewalks selling their stuffs give away to modernised well planned and well maintained wide throughfares, more parks, water bodies, open spaces and squares, gardens, foodcourts, malls, better traffic and crowd management, more cleanliness and better overall living spaces in years ahead of us.
@@knightatdawndonbynight8432 yes it was the tap water I was enquiring about. Thanks for your detailed reply. I don’t disagree with the second paragraph. I first visited India in 1980 and travelled quite widely and though I had a great time I was very mindful of how hard life was for most Indians and how lucky I was that in England we could drink water from the tap without fear. Back then I did sometimes drink iced water from vendors in Delhi as there was only so much Limca, Campa Cola or Chai that I could drink. There was no bottled water available and someone told me that it was chlorinated ( I don’t suppose it was but there were no guide books in those days to inform you) and like you pointed out perhaps the pipes were in better condition
India was very different then and has progressed a lot and I am not intending any criticism or desire for it to remain poor.
I am also aware that most Indians live in the countryside and for many of them life will not have changed so much.
I have no particular interest in visiting Starbucks, Nando’s or KFC whether it be in England or India and shopping Malls don’t interest me either. Last time I was in Delhi 4 years ago was with my son and though he regularly eats Indian food he tried the KFC , nice to have the choice - he said the chicken was much bigger and enjoyed it.
Have you been to Chandigarh? I was very impressed though it did have what you would describe as a slum where the rickshaw riders lived
Many western tourists will have some understanding of colonialism and partition. As you say there are lots of interesting sites to visit in India, many people are quite happy to visit Goa and enjoy 2 weeks in the sun. I don’t know but I imagine the Goan economy has benefited from tourism even if the ecology hasn’t
Bfn
@@jonnyreggae100 hey man tbh everything has changed within 40 years........for eg during 1980s there is literally no houses were there in my street....you have to travel a lot to get even basic facilities in almost every major city.....but now there is literally houses at every corner and i can get all the basic facilities within 100m from my house.....i agree what you said slums do exist....but majority of them live in good houses as far as ive seen......but the main problem with major cities are that many poor people will come there aiming for a better life but end up building slums....mumbai is rich af per capita is 25k dollars but city is divided between rich and poor as you will find one of the richest and poorest people there......its not like new york where majritarily only wealthy people live...........And also our country side has changed rapidly within 30 years.......im in south india which is quite developed and there are literally no homeless people in my village and even 20 years back we have to travel atleast 30 km(17 miles) for good facilities but now we have world class hospital colleges and literally every kind of shops within 3km (1.5 miles) there is literally burger sanwitch shops near my village.....so yeah a lot has progressedin south especially but in central part of india everything is still same where majority live in poverty and people from that states only will flock into major cities and build slums............i think we came far from where we started or where we pushed into by your country
@@creativethinkers3214 yes big changes that you have lived through i have just had a snapshot, I have visited the south a couple of times and it seemed much cleaner and more relaxed particularly in Kerala . I was told that a lot of people worked abroad in the gulf states which enabled them to build houses, open businesses etc. Most of the Indians in Bolton are Gujerati but are settled here though some have built houses back in the villages which they visit in the winter. Never been to New York but although they may have clean water and sanitation there are many homeless people, it doesn’t have a welfare state like we do or did ! We now have beggars and people living on the streets, never thought I would see it here
Hope that makes sense
@@jonnyreggae100 yeah I'm from Tamilnadu which is situated right next to Kerala. Kerala is really a tourism heaven and development there is pretty good. But so many youngsters are moving into other main cities in India and gulf from Kerala coz there is literally no job opportunities there. Since Kerala is a communist state all these years they never allowed a single industry
No industrialidation so no job opportunities and it doesn't have any major city but yeah it has many pleasant places for tourism. Gujaraits are considered as money makers and top 5 richest persons in India come from Gujarat. Also if you have seen many Indian motels and hotels are actually owned by them gujaratis. You will often find Patel motels in USA. These guys own almost 60 percent of entire motels and small chain restaurants in USA. As you said poor people are everywhere in the world but yeah we are slowly developing and lifting people from poverty like 200 million people came out of poverty in last 10 years. Poverty rate is from 37 percent to 21 percent in last 10 years. I think in future we will be in a even more better situation compared to this. And also I'm a 2004 born so all these stories about their village life were told by my family members and now yeah I'm enjoying the development and facilities. Peace✌

India is an enchanting land of extremeties. Bangalore, Mumbai, Chennai, Hyderabad, Ahmedabad & of course the national capital region in and around Delhi like Gurugram is extremely modern and prosperous in certain areas. I love to see India grow and prosper!
Bro , you should not focus one some negative comments. They will always say visit this place , visit that place , visit my state , no matter what. So.....Personally I think you should try both modern and old Places. And also the larger part of Delhi , which is old Delhi is must because it's the majority.
Gabi, by default ALWAYS ask price for everything before agreeing on any service. I ran into a similar scam while riding through Granada in Spain. I agree with other commentators, if in such a situation, just ask any people around to help you out. PS: Do you mind sharing which backpack you're using?
Love you from northeast India
Just 20min ride from Aerocity will take you to CyberCity. Another cool place to explore
And another 30 minute ride will take you to mehrauli forest where Aftab cuts shraddha in 35 pieces and throw her body parts there.
Nice to see a variety of Delhi life. But for me a westerner it is more interesting to see India specificity. Not shopping centers!!
Hey Gabi, extremely sorry that you got scammed. But if you seems to be get scammed just ask locals they will surely help you.

The coffee and sushi in Aerocity were super expensive, but I guess it should be expected because there you're paying a lot for the premises too, not just the food.

@@ridewithgabi do U have social media?
A lot of people confuse Aero City with Cyber City indeed both are crazy modern but in Aero City you don't have much to do that's just a place for people working around there to do a lil bit of shopping but Cyber city is better imo as there is more crowd malls, etc.
Ahhh I wish I knew… next time 😉
Keep it up man, your energy is very soothing!
Words of wisdom from an Indian.
If you are travelling to India.
1. Spend the extra money and book the 5 stars. In delhi the 5 stars are next to the airport in Aero city. If you are going to travel all day you should at least come back to a nice place to relax. Do not go book a hotel In Paharganj or Mahipalpur (It is a red light area where you will end up meeting escorts.)
2. Book Ubers. Do not tie up with local taxi people (even Indians don’t do that! Comeon! Unless you want to get scammed or kidnapped) Ubers are safer as they have trackers and set fares. If you are a tourist ( even better book the Uber premium so the taxi drivers are better)
3. The posh areas in Delhi are obviously- Khan market, Qutub-Mehrauli, CP is nice but all kinds of people go there. You need to watch out and not entertain strangers, South Delhi is more Posh than other places in Delhi.
4. The metro is alright but the best one happens to be the Orange Line which is also known as the airport line. They have cctvs so metros are safe.
5. Do not take the subway unless you want to get robbed.
6. We do not speak to strangers. If you are going to speak to everyone on the street get ready to either be scammed or sold drugs. (Female travellers- should avoid being in old Delhi or any area which doesn’t seem posh for their own safety after dark. In the posh areas of Delhi. You can stay out but only with company.
7. Truth be told- Delhi is porous. Has people from various states coming here for employment. Not all of these people are progressive or view women the same way. If you are too friendly you are easy. Societies are different and it’s better to understand the culture before you step in here. Do not entertain all kinds of people. If you are being harassed, scream. Call the police- 100, do not be compliant and invest in a good tour guide who speaks absolutely fluent English. We do not hire any person who speaks broken English in India for anything! You will be surprised how diverse this place is.
The Pullman Hotel in Aerocity is a great 5 star hotel. My daughter and son in law stayed a night there. I got to go with them when they checked in. I was very impressed. Connaught Place has the look of the British era, to me. We got takeaway food from Haldiram's, about where you got your shoes cleaned.
India is full of diversity.more u explore more u get fascinated
lol... i loved the old Delhi just as much as the new Delhi videos.
Love from India 🇮🇳🇮🇳

Wow Delhi looks like a city from the future. China, Singapur, Japan and S.Korea can learn a lot from this futuristic city. Jai hind
Toda dekhna china Korea bhaut jayda development hai 50 saal aage chal raha hai😂😂
First of all sorry bro for your experience in Connaught Place(that scam part). You can also explore other areas nearby Delhi like cyber city in Gurugram.

Oh man! I would never give you shit Gabi! I love seeing the old, poor areas. I traveled down the east coast from Kolkata to Chennai. Amazing! Stay well.
You are very good explain this city love from India, Bihar❤
Never knew ! David warner has started vlogging 😮
you should have come Gtb nagar which is surrounded by delhi's major famous market and top colleges and covers all in max 2km (Kamla nagar, Hudson lane , kigsway camp , mukherjeer nagar, and plenty of delhi university and lots )
Connaught Place is 90 years old so it's not very new. Khan Market is also not very old. But Aerocity is. Gurugram Cyber City is the newest i guess and it's part of Delhi National Capital Region (NCR)
Hi Gabi. try to Indonesia next, many interesting things in Indonesia, diverse culture, friendly locals, delicious food, very beautiful nature, and lots of historical places too, such as the old city, Borobudur temple and many more that cannot be mentioned one by one . I recommend several places such as Bali, the capital city of Jakarta, Komodo island, and the city of Jogja
Indonesia is my one of the dream places!
It's my dream to visit the old hindu heritages and temples in indonesia... And i also wanna see the natural beautiful hills

I guess, you are also very honest man
If u ever feel scammed in india take help of the locals around. Especially the young
Brother, I'm Indian, stayed around 8 years is Delhi and i was also victim of this shoes polish 😂 they just did the same started with 40 Rs and I end up paying around more than 200 INR, I bought that black shoes in around 600 INR. So sad.
Yes bro🤣🤣🤣👍
Are u mad to pay 200 for shoe polish or u just wanted to show off?
tbh i prefer the quieter part of india. for your next adventure may i propose a trip to south america and the amazons. i see your spiritual awakening has already started. it'd be amazing to see you try ayahuasca retreats there.
WelCome in India. India is a great country but some of the people do not work hard to develop the nation. Your video is very good and I want you to continue making more and more videos i really like watching your videos they are interesting. God Bless you. Jai Shri Ram, Jai Shri Krishna.
India is the best country in the world.❤👌
The Shoe Polish Scam ! Classic Cannaught Place scam! NEVER fall for these kids! As a Delhite myself, they tried scamming me. Said 40Rs and after the work said "i said 240Rs"
Incase you encounter them,just say you're calling the cops
I'm a victim of such scam but outside the Karol bagh metro station. I went to a mochi to fix my heel and he said 60 and then he did that sole and glue thing and then asked for 500. I shouted at him and said this is cheating. You didn't tell me, is this how you people scam foreigners and now scamming Indians. People around started watching us and then finally he had to come down to 100. 😂😂😂
We are so so careful from childhood as the word "COPS" deterred us from causing any trouble or any shady business
