$1 Street Shave from Bengali Barber 💈
We're trying to make it all the way to Japan, guys! Leave a comment & a like to support the cause ❤✊
Nice. I subbed u for spreading the truth to the world.
I hope you enjoyed spitting in there country 🤣🤣🤣🤣
nepal ...good place to explore
Honestly, where all did you go in India for you to feel so strongly against it? Varanasi is very nasty and its kinda wack that you draw your hate from our worst city ; its like me walking into the nasty underbelly of your broke cities and towns like Buffalo or Detroit for that matter. Did you see Delhi, Mumbai, Goa, Bangalore and still hate it? Did you venture into Himachal or Utarakhand to experience the Himalayas? Did you go to Rajasthan to see our palaces in the desert? Super confused here honestly. No hatred but the name fits you well with that type of commentary. By the way I am of Indian Origin raised in Canada so I do know what our world feels like as well
@@MohitSharma-mj1xrI think He is just a fraud..He wants to draw the attention of people by making such head title so that he gets more and more comments and views..
I don't think he over charged you. He took such pride in his work and treated you like a prince. He didn't have much as far as equipment but he had enormous skills. You don't know how many people he feeds with his $1.25/ per shave income. You should have given him at least another 25 rupees. Americans are so used to getting the princely treatment. Gratitude man! You have a good life and you can if you want to change a life in your wanderings. Look at these people as humans just like you, flawed as we all are but with a heart.. A foreign person comes around they feel honored to interact with you and to be your friend for a brief moment. They will go home and talk about you and how much fun it was to meet you.
very true
Yeah, there is also something to be said from the human being side of things too about the sanitary comments in earshot. That's degrading, I enjoy seeing how other cultures live and that is why these videos are cool. But as annoying or disgusting as you may find something, these people are there to survive and getting told how gross everything is to your face is not very nice.
Your in their homeland, show respect and don't judge so openly.
RIGHT and he did sooo good too :(
@@Hunting4Data agreed 100%
Brah, u high?
7 o'clock is one of the most expensive blades in India. He indeed gave you special treatment. And axe as usual is some of the top brands. He would have used cheaper blades and creams for a cheap price.
At the end the barber said "Abar ashben.." meaning "please do come again.." 😊
7o clock expensive , it's only cost 2 rupees
Barbar is all about skill
Ps. He definately charged less
@@10an63 7o' clock is 2 rs? 🤣 Ok so can you parcel me 500 pcs? I'd pay you online.

Such a kind, gracious, warm barber! Truly heart warming to see such humility and kindness from the guy who welcomed you and the barber. Rare to see that in the world these days.
Yes and overcharge by at least thrice
@@ganh222 Lol you normally pay atleast between 250-350 for that shaving in cities. He only paid 100 for that, how is that overcharging?
@@walkingtree2486 because of how much the guy before him payed
@@klikitzsmith8416 It's Normal, here in Siliguri (Another city of West Bengal) we pay 50 rupees for that but the thing is Kolkata is way bigger than our city which makes sense why that barber charged 100 rupees which is fair even an Indian would not complain but since such things happened earlier people tend to react oooh he overcharged me even if they charge a little bit higher even by 5 rupees which is crazy, It makes me feel like that same person would have paid 250 rupees for that In USA.
@@ganh222 Jesus Christ it was only 1.2 dollars. I would give him at least 5 dollars lol. For the same treatment in my country that would cost 56 dollars. 5 dollars means little to me while he would earn like he shaved 5-7 people, it's a win win.
5:05 I love how bystander is pointing out a single hair that the barber missed xD peoplee are so friendly there!
He gets to keep that hair so he can staple in his Balls … part of Hinduism
The crystal or rock after shaving:
"An Alum Block, also known as an Alum Stone or Alum Crystal, is a crystal-like stone that is moistened with water and gently rubbed over the shaved area to act as an antiseptic and to combat a number of post-shaving related skin problems including razor bumps, razor burn and redness. It can also help to stop bleeding from small nicks and cuts.
The Alum block has antiseptic properties that not only cool and refresh the skin after shaving but kill surface bacteria too."
Oh wow thanks haha
antiseptic- especially after it's just been wiped over another random person's shaving cuts!!
That crystal rock is being used as a deodorant in the Philippines.
@@wavemaker2077 I once had a allergic reaction to Deodorant and had to find an alternative. The Crystal worked wonderfully. Relieved the reaction and did the job of deodorizing.. So Phillippinos know what they're doing.
Why doesn't my barber use it
Some thoughts:
1. The barber person made a real good job, he deserved that extra $
2. People say if you chew that Indian leaf you start to speak in Hindi, so I think it was fake
3. People look so warm and nice ❤
man the third one is bit weird makes me think you gonna eat them
He didn't give him one single penny as a tip man...
He said he was about to tip him but he hand out only a purple bill so that's the 100 one... LAME
@@benji6651 that's because he overcharged him.
its a mild stimulant, like saying drink a can of red bull and start talking kawabunga
As an Indian, I've never had a haircut at a road-side barber or ever chewed on a beetel nut. Thanks for reporting your experiences haha.
That's not beetel nut! It's a type of berry, kul berry or Indian jujube, in hindi it's ber. You spit out the seed and eat the rest.
oh wow u r so different omg
the shaver is a professional.His movements with the blade, small details are second to none. Kolkata is always on my mind.I left the city 44 yrs ago.I still miss my hometown.
You missed it so much that you never went back 😂😂
That's not betel nut. It's called "Kool" in Bengali, or Indian plum/Bengali date. It's a type of berry which does taste a little wierd when taken raw, but it is made into a dessert by cooking it in sugar syrup. The slimy inside becomes soft and sweet and the berry tastes kinda like gulab jamun.
Real mvp
he walked around going im salivating eating food hahahahahaa
what's gulab joamoane in english bruv - michael jackson
yeah the guy straight up told him it is food you eat and he just kept chewing LOL@@Dreamer66617
My first thought was that it was gulab jamun! Looks a lot like it. But obviously wasn't since there was a seed inside and not served in syrup.
1:21 This car is a Hindustan Ambassador. It is a license built version of the Morris Oxford which is a British car. This car was produced from the 1950s all the way till 2014. They were actually built near Kolkata. For many years the Hindustan Ambassador was only one of 2 cars you could buy in India however in the 90s the changed and people bought cars from Japan and other more modern cars. Throughout India it's become rarer to see these cars but there are still alot in Kolkata.
It replaced the Landmaster back in the 1960s
We love the Ambi, it's iconic!
yes!
Japanese Suzuki aka Maruti cars started selling in the mid-1980s. We had the 8th Suzuki sold in India, it was a lottery system bcoz demand was insane. Maruti800..sweet lil matchbox was soooo much fun to drive, Spring 1985 --right after my Boards Exam, till I fkkd off to London haha Good Times.. before that was just Ambassadors, Fiat (premier Padmini ;) and the ugly ass Contessa LOLOL
@@_SPREZZATURA_McGEE_ Lots of Maruti 800s still running strong in Mangalore (Coastal Karnataka) and in other parts of South India. They are tough little things.
When I visited Calcutta in 1980 it was terrible. So many people dying from starvation. Life has improved incredibly. It makes me happy. ❤
Well because Bengal has been through a famine , as the rice of Bengal was fed to Churchill Troops in WW2 . Read Barnier's inscription of 17th century and you will know with what mess British has left India , after draining it for like 2 centuries .
@@xezebaxwede1213 That happened in 1943 mate, not 1980. But you're not wrong, it was the fault of Churchill's policies.
@@generalmartok3990 afaik, India has had zero famine related deaths since independence.
I doubt people were dying of starvation, but am sure there were many going hungry, living below the poverty line in India back then in the 80s.
Currently poverty stands at ~3-4% or less.
British left India in 1947, even after 76 years of rule by CPM and TMC what sort of development are we talking about?
its fin pl eat at tht time it may seem to u
Your confusion and fear is probably the best part of the video!
I am laughing my ass off and thoroughly enjoying your adventures dude!
This seem like they might be the sweetest people on the Earth it's sad that they live in a pile of trash.
They really are sweet people, many of them possess a kind of innocence that other cultures have lost.

@@adg2302 Don't blame others!! Others are not responsible for your attitude, environment, hygiene and cleanliness.
@@ddb0831 Exactly. Go google what Kolkata looked like in the 50s. Clean, beautiful streets, well maintained buildings. However poverty and overcrowding sure don't help the situation in regards to attitude and environment.

exactly , but this small brained american youtuber doesn't understand that , and all from his videos from india , all I can see is hate and i know he is showing the reality but it seems hatred when he speaks. There are other youtuber's too like "bald and bankrupt" 'who also showed reality of india , but just go look at that video and you cannot sense that hate from him in his video when he speaks.
At the end of the day i see real thoughts, real picture but no humility !!!
he is being extra edgy@@bivasbisht1244
Remember his name “small brained….”
@@bivasbisht1244 thats what i feel a bit... I think its fair to be critical and defensive when in the environment but the commentary also feels a bit mean spirited by tone
Seems like nobody there speaks much English, which is strange because all of my spam calls originate from there.
Bahahhha OJ you’re killin it . No pun intended
😂😂😂
There are all poor uneducated people
He communicated with people who obviously don't need to know much English.
Yes.. They are educated English speaking who scams you..
I feel embarrassed you left $1.25 and moaned he overcharged you... he done such a good job. You would not even pick up $1.25 from the floor and for him an extra tip would have gone a long way
Not up to him to decide. When you got to a resturant, do you decide to give the tip or do they just take it without asking?
@@breach794 Can't brag about giving him tip and then just don't and even wonder if he ripped him off lol
I mean his vlogs are nice and all but he treats the local people like "well they wanted to do this and that so I don't have to give them anything..." Like get a grip. In Eastern cultures when they invite you the first time, it's your treat the next time. If they still insist on paying the second time you better fight for the bill the third time. White people really only take, it's embarrassing.
@@breach794 no but he did get the special treatment
💯 My haircut cost $30 in the US, this was a steal at $1.25 I would have gave him more
I think he did tip him? At least he said he was going to.
That fruit like thing was not the betel nut... its a kind of berry, in Bengali (Regional Language of Kolkata) its called "KUL", in English its called "INDIAN JUJUBE", we eat its raw version...its rather tasty. The one you tried is Ripe, so you felt slimy.... the RIPE version is used in Pickles.
The Barber indeed gave you special treatment. He used expensive Shaving cream and Blade. The 'crystal' he used is called "FITKARI" in english its called "ALUM" its anti-bacterial.... its chemical name is hydrated double sulfate salt of aluminium.
Thank you! Very informative, just what I was wondering about
Goes to a roadside barber, got all the extra services in the name of hospitality and then paid the poor guy by showing his utensils dirty with the shaving foam which he used on this guy's face, showing everyone else that it is not sanitary. You seem to be a kind human 🥰 expecting world calss service from a roadside barber, promising to give a tio and then eventually paying him but destroying his shop's reputation. Nice work🤡
Right . And I don't know why everyone is complimenting him he is spitting everywhere saing everyone does it omg . And always say I don't like this country sill stays here to criticize it
And he also hearts the comment talking negatively about india, No good explaining a person who uses such title for entire country . This isn't brutal honesty , it is straight up offensive at this point . If he had some advice or log8cal point he would have said it politely
When did he expect world class service from the road side barber you genius? He said that the barber is doing amazing work. Extreme attention to detail, a perfectionist. Thanked him and tipped him. Also, how did he destroy the shop's reputation? Struggling to understand English are we? Any Indian visiting a road side barber in India knows what kind of hygiene levels to expect. They do not need a video on TH-cam by a foreigner to tell them of potential risks. Learn to watch and enjoy - or else chill.
@@459djanvitank7 - Ever seen desis living in the West? Earning in dollars and pounds and Euros, insulting those countries every day and still refusing to leave and renewing the visa every time to stick around more - so that they can go back to India once every 1-2 years and be called foreign returned. Learn to accept that our country is filthy and dirty, Indians lack hygiene and cleanliness. Hence foreigners come and call it dirty.
Bro travelled a total of 3 cities and already knows what India is all about. At least he got the name of his channel right.
Holy crap! That barber did a really good job super fast!!!
Yeah man was talented
@@SmallBrainedAmerican maybe he was waiting for a tip

Indian Sweeney.... :)
Very interesting that you commented on the friendliness of Kolkata. As a born bred Indian, I felt that friendliness on my visit there too. It's not the greatest job market, especially for a city of its population, and the politics of its ruling parties polarizes. But my visit there briefly reminded me of what metropolitan India used to be before living there became an endless cycle of hustle, push, shove and cuss.
Politics polarizes everywhere.....its just that Hindi media negative potrayal of Kolkata
He may not sanitize well, but that is the cleanest shave I've ever seen! That deserves more than a dollar no matter where in the world you are.
You selectively went to the most chaotic places in India for the shock factor dude...India is much more diverse than that...Kolakata is pretty chill...you would have loved India more if you would have visited other places apart from the high density north central plains like Delhi, UP, Bihar.
You missed out north east, kashmir, himachal, uttarakhand, udaipur, jodhpur, ahemdabad, puri, pondicheery, chennai, madurai, kerala, goa, mumbai, bangalore ...basically you did not see the better side of India...it is like visiting only the homeless and no-go ghettos in America and saying America is poor as hell and sucks to core....every country has a better and worse side!
Edit: Kolkata*, Pondicherry*...few missed places Kokan coast, Gokarna, Hampi, Mysore, andamans, lakshadweep, ladakh and many more 🙃
I suppose you got a point
But who cares ? Why don't Indian people themselves show nice parts of India and improve the bad parts ? And why keep worrying about what others say ?
@J7pat7 we do show good parts..some foreigners show the positive side too...however, negativity spreads faster online and in the media...its easy to get more views by creating controversies or by dissing someone or someplace!
@@herambpatkar Indians themselves spread the most negativity by reacting to everything. People say bad things about the French, New Yorkers, and Japanese but they don't care and they continue to get high paying tourists. Indians are begging for approval. First off stop watching videos of people visiting India. Visit your own f'ing country and visit other countries and learn about the rest of the world. I am Indian AMerican and watching people visit the US would be so boring for me.
The Berber man was saying visit me again. He was happy for your visit since the Bengali are so guest hospitable. Although he over charged you, but he had special care for your shaving.

You are a brave soul for getting that shave. Looks hella relaxing though and dude is a pro! Really cool video, this makes me want to adventure again soon. Cheers to new experiences!
My man, you didn't have the "drug" version of the Paan, it was without tobacco. Betel leaves (Paan) and a bit of betel seeds are not supposed to get you high, it's the tobacco in the Paan that does the job and has people hooked to it. The version you had was a meetha paan (sweet paan) which is but a dessert and an after-meal digestif, it actually is healthy, and you're supposed to chew and swallow this version, not spit it. The red spit is the tobacco paan. Not gonna lie I chuckled at you spitting it everywhere and thinking you're getting stimulated. Hope this will help you get the real thing on your next trip.

Yeah exactly... I also commented the same ... He gave him the meetha pan which kids can also eat

He was as you say very focused with that shave and did a really nice job with it. He could have his own shop one day. It seems that many people there are really nice. I always feel Indian people are very gentle and friendly. I'm new to your vids. They seem really fresh and interesting. I love seeing other cultures and India is one of my favourites. 🙂
That was not a beetle nut, but a raw Berry found in Asia. some are very sweet and some are sour. You never eat the stone or seed inside as most of the fruits. This Berry(bengali Kul) is very popular and there are many kinds of berries there.
Not Mercedes but the Hindustan Ambassador, or 'Ambi', which is a derivative of the British-designed Morris Oxford III. It was in production from 1957 - 2014!
If you have a budget of $10-$20 for an entire day which includes travel,food, salon,stay etc then you should not expect quality. In us and other western country you spend that amount in your one meal. If you are looking to spend all your day in that budget in us then you will get worse than what you get in India. It’s ok I am not taking your videos incorrectly but it feels like you are totally ignoring the budget factor here while roaming in Indian cities.
He expects india to be cheap and shows its worst part , why do you expect him to show anything good about india . If he cared , he would have thought about the title .
@@PeaceFuel yes exactly.. These so called foreigners mainly whites from Europe and USA comes to India to live a cheap life. They know that Indians are obsessed with white skin hence they make videos about India and our culture. Some of them deliberately try to show that they are very fond of India and India people which in reality they are not. I do appreciate some of the TH-camrs who at least visits India and gathers some content as there are many other TH-camrs who would just make reaction videos sitting at their own house in their own country. These people are too cheap and are in tight budget but have to make videos to gain subscribers hence live in the worst part of the Indian city where even middle class Indian doesn’t go. They pay like 5-10 USD for a night to stay and expect a luxury rooms. If they don’t find any luxury in the cheap rooms then they call out and tag different adjectives like worst place, dirty place, scammers etc..
I just stumbled across these videos and I must say. Real eye opener. Fantastic to see this side of life. Better than a lot of produced docos.
I really appreciated your honesty and frankness in your travel vlog! I went to Ahmedabad in India about a year ago, by myself, for a friend's wedding and had similar experiences. While there were many times I was super confused and overwhelmed, I really grew to love the culture and spontaneity of being there. I also got swindled for $20 at the Mumbai airport, which wasn't cool, but would do the trip all over again. Watching your videos made me remember the trip all over again. . .and crave some authentic Indian food.
Betel nut becomes "Red" when you add the other ingredients to it. This is "dried areca nut" and "lime powder". These activate the drug but also contribute to the red coloration.
Indian jujube or Indian plum and not betel nut!!
the first fruit i mean!!
@@chirantans2162 you’re right the first fruit was not betel nut and he could have swallowed the paan juice. As the guy said it’s only the chew tobacco paan that people spit out. I’ve chewed betel nut and paan many times and never had to spit.

Why on earth you want an opinion about india from an American tourist?
Wonder whether this man will allow you to go to his country and film about the homeless people over there. It's only possible in India because of the people like you who get amused by the videos made by the tourists.
@@SUJAMUK Maybe because if anyone ever wanted to visit India as a tourist theyd get a more relatable viewpoint and opinion of what its like to be in India from another person who visited as a tourist? And speaking as an American myself most people here do not deny the criticisms of our country, and would not care if someone came here and had criticisms. Every American I know would agree with them. Obviously there are some people here that look at America as "The greatest country in the world", but alot of Americans dont feel that way. We see it as a country with great aspects, but many many flaws.
@@user-bf4rp8ou7w India is a huge country and just visiting one state doesn't give the true picture of the whole of India. It differs from state to state.
Tourists going from India don't go round filming the homeless people sleeping in parks. There are lots of rough places in America.
Where you go for holiday is your choice. But don't come to India all the way from America, spending so much money just to criticise and be sarcastic. India is a democratic country and you are free to film even the toilets. If you go to China you will not be allowed to film about how they treat the Muslims.

The taxi is an Ambassador car, made in India.
Yes. The design is based on the UK Morris Oxford series III popular in the UK and British commonwealth countries in the late 1950s
The fruit was a jujube or Bengali date version. It’s not tasty compared to other dates but the sap of the tree makes a very sweet and delicious type of sugar.
That car is a Hindustan Ambassador, now made in India but was originally from the UK and was first made by Morris Motors which was based in Oxford.
What is frustrating for Indians is when foreign tourists only ever visit the same parts of the same cities and those are the worst parts. I always advise not to travel in those places, they're not representative of India at all, they're more like work hubs. The heart of India is in it's villages, where 65% of it's 1.4 billion people live, much more family orientated. Each state has it's own variety of peoples, festivals, languages, and traditions. Festivals are especially beautiful, vibrant and lively with music, noise and huge crowds of women and girls with long flowing hair and bright, sparkling colourful clothes, dancing in unison. It's like a never ending sea of colours, their clothes make everywhere you look seem like a kaleidoscope. Going to back streets of cities like this you will not see any of that. It's like visiting the US and only ever going to dodgy streets in the Bronx. Then telling people you dont like the US because of that. It's not representative.
there's no point telling that to people who are deliberately getting views by berating an entire country and its people. I see lots of western tourist videos where they pick the worst places to go to and then get views by resting on the shock value of such places. If they really wanted to show how most of India lives, they would make the effort to go deeper into the towns and villages
@@MM-qt2pc Yes that's what I'm saying, it's a very distorted way of portraying something. It definitely doesn't represent.
@@nm5310 i completely agree with you, but these concerns obviously fall on deaf ears. they know they will get views by saying these things, so they do it
Bro why dont u use a translator app? I feel like u could at least get a vibe of what their saying if you have them talk into ur phone. Would make deeper connections with locals.
Can't argue with the channel name.

@@johnnygwapo.Lapu-Lapu it was 😂
Many viewers dont know the locations you have visited in this video , they are Rashbehari Avenue, Kalighat and Lake Mall . The best part of Kolkata is the people are genuinely nice but the barber over charged you it was never an hundred rupees shave 😂
Hilarious
its not much for him to pay. what would be the price to am Indian consdering he used his best stuff
I went to India 4 times between 30 years & 15 years ago, I went many places there & my favorite town was also Calcutta. That's where people are chill & nice, elsewhere they always try to swindle you or harass you in every way possible. The other places I found was chill was Goa of course, & the mountains, people there were way more chill too. Maybe next times try the countryside, where people aren't that commercial & rel, you might enjoy it more.
Being an Indian, I believe the hill towns are the best. Places like Shillong, Sikkim, Darjeeling are amazing.
Nowadays it seems they’ve moved the scams to the phone/internet. So many scam call centers these days are based in Kolkata/Calcutta
Too bad for them. I hope they understand the concept of karma @@cozyflannel
yes they uderstand , that's why many colonisers are facing the karmic deeds of their ancestors@@danickmetaluna2600
Calcutta is wonderful
The punching sound effects during the shave got me every time 😂😂😂
The gentleman barber in the street , although a crude set up, he did a fabulous shape up on you combined with a good shave...
I love how the man on the sidewalk is correcting some of the barbers' work. I don't know what it is in South Asia with people staring when something's happening (I think for local/non-locals both), but I find it quite sweet. They're intrigued and don't feel uncomfortable to bear witness to what they're intrigued by. They're also rather engaged, which can be quite appreciated (but sometimes bothersome) from time to time.
The stone at the barbers is an alum rock. It's meant to have a nice odour and is good for the skin.
every single person said it wasn't beetle nut bro just willed it into existence then acted high lmao
You looked really good after your shave! I was glad to see at least one pretty decent place , but I would never go to that country. I’m in Georgia (Woodstock) and I think you are very brave to travel around alone like that. I am looking forward to your videos. Be safe.
Merry Christmas!
The man is a budget traveller. Sitting on road and shaving is surely an experience to have. But hats of to the Barber... Great job.
Sadly cleaning is a issue in entire india.
Now a days religious discrimination is at its peak and sadly educated people are still quite. 😢
sweet pan is edible....just eat it like any other food or treat it as a dessert.....those brown berries are called jujube or Indian plum... super healthy
Not sure if he is doing on purpose but his comments are funny and obviously honest.
Thank you for your travels, your exploration and your brave “go for it” attitude. We have heard there are three things you notice when in India. The noise, the poverty and the smell (not all bad) but overwhelmingly is the kind and friendly people. Be well brother!
Love india been learning hindi for a year and a half want go there one day to experience india, I ain't having no street shave mate, you can forget that. This man got some balls
6:07 Sounded like he said, "have a nice day."
Exactly!
Come Again
You went to Delhi and then to UP. Those are mostly populous areas of India. Hence most mismanaged.
The car you saw was Ambassador brand. I don’t think they make them anymore.
The crystal stone at barber shop was the antiseptic.. 🙂
The most mild part of India is south. In North, you need a friend to take you around, like what you did in Pakistan.
god i love your videos - this has shown me hope in India (not that the other videos haven't, the Indian peoples are such a humble and loving creed. It goes to show the poorer you are, the richer you are.) Definitely subscribing to your patreon next payday x
oh and the moustache really suits you, he did a great job
Congrats on going over 100,000 subscribers. Your genuine sincerity and your free spirit seems to come through on your channel. Happy travels! I started watching you three days ago and watched it climb to over 100,000 today.
That's because the videos had Indian content...
I am glad you liked my city Kolkata, actually Kolkata gets always shadowed by other cities like Mumbai or Delhi, but the lifestyle is too much peaceful and enjoyable here, I can tell you for sure. The people from hindi belt can not tolerate any one and they hate every non hindi speaking people, hence they always try to defame Kolkata. Maybe its true that most part of Kolkata is not that much modern but really clean and friendly than most part of Delhi and Mumbai. I know my city is not modern yet, but these hindi people being politically motivated spread fake propagandas, while most of their cities are more dirty.
@@mohammadsalman9106 I know a lot of non Bengalis live here in Kolkata too and they love us, but most of uncultured Hindi people in north India are sick and try to spread fake propagandas. Don't know why they are so mean towards non-hindi people like for no reason. They have to understand, to get respect you have to show respect us too.
Same with north east brother
What a stupid comment...Why do the Hindi belt will hate you for speaking Bengali...Man literally...Bad people are everywhere...These americans are no saints....Not every Bengali is Subash chandra bose.....So stop giving stupid logic...
it has nothing to do with hindi speaking. the people who speak intolerantly usually have a nehruvian background and also opportunist copycats who thinks that way is a sign of elitehood.
anyway, this american boy is not showing his appreciation of kolkata - he is "damning with faint praise" eg, "it's not as dirty as other indian cities"
@@mr.ganguly2624 *But sadly bimaru pajeeet are ruing west bengal, they are earning, living in this State but they want to thrash bengalis , bengali are father of all Indians remember* ‼️‼️‼️#weNeverwantCredit #bimaruMC_UP_vihar_odia 🙂
I have just discovered your videos. I find it incredible what you do and what you dare to do. I love it. Greetings from Germany.
Kolkata / calcutta is the cultural capital of india .
That barber knows what he’s doing!
I like your honesty here. But it would have been better if you would have taken help of a local and travelled around. Delhi and UP can be a bit overwhelming to travel. You can just not travel around alone there as a foreigner. South India is much better that way.
He is on purpose travelling to bad parts to defame India..
@@stilxfound3813 Those are parts of India also.
@@J7pat7 slums and ghosted sh!t town exist even in USA.. if I'm going to tour USA.. I would visit Miami, Vegas, NY or LA... not some deserted dirty dangerous town in US Mexican border!
@@stilxfound3813 But he didn't visit a deserted town . He visited areas with lots of people . But who cares in the end other than Indians looking for approval ? Stop looking for approval and stop watching things related to India when you are in India itself .
@@stilxfound3813 Defame?! Kerala's no better.
actually it doesnt look bad at all
Those yellow cars - are Morris Oxford series II - called Hindustan Ambassador.
That white crystal after shaving is 'alum' - a hydrated double sulfate salt of aluminium - which has disinfection properties.
The red fruit is Jujube, pronounced 'kul' in local Bengali. You're supposed to eat the skin and the flesh, dispose of the seed. It can also be used to create condiments like chutney.
you should have tried travelling to south india too, maybe next time :) most foreigners miss travelling to south india, its very different from north india.
No, the south is dirty too
@@Tom-fw6bx yes cities mostly are dirty, but I meant like culture, landscapes, people are different. Most foreigners just visit north India and think it is whole India.
Yea thats very unfortunate, but some people also only visit Kerala and think that whole india as well and be shocked to see Delhi afterwards 🤣
@@premg062the country is beautiful but people isn't
@@lugartan3418Like Chinese
There's areas of London and Birmingham pretty much were you can get the same experience. Green Street East London if you ever go, near the West Ham football (soccer) ground.
Football firms there too?
despicable, London is not even english anymore
Great video colors. Did you modify them or is that straight from the camera?
FYI ...
that crystal thing which that barber used is Alum. Alum is used in cooking as well as for medicinal purposes. In Ayurveda, Alum (Phitkari) is used in the form of Bhasma (Pure Ash) called as Sphatika Bhasma.
Alum can help to tighten the skin, minimize the appearance of pores, and reduce excess oil. It also has antibacterial properties that can aid in preventing acne and blemishes.
Alum can also be used as a water purifier. When clean, drinkable water did not reach through pipelines, people used to drop a few small pieces of alum in a bottle of water and wait for the dust and particles to settle down before straining the rest of the clean water.
There are many places that dont suck and u have to go North east or up north. U wont find magic in the air in Cities esp delhi which is so bad
No good explaining a person who uses such title for entire country . This isn't brutal honesty , it is straight up offensive at this point . If he had some advice or log8cal point he would have said it politely
Next time visit northeast and southern India. I wish to see those places with your perspective.
The most common method of using betel nut is to slice it into thin strips and roll it in a betel leaf with slaked lime (powder) or crushed seashells. This leaf package is known as a betel quid, betel nut chew, betel chew, betel pan or betel paan (India).
The "crystal" is actually a form of salt that my mother also uses on wounds and cuts etc. I guess it is used to kill bacteria of the micro cuts. a bit like alcohol/after shave.
Right, I got the Same Salt Stone. Stops bleeding after shaving the Face. Greets from Germany
Kolkata is known as city of joy. It's the cultural capital of India. Food capital of India.
Nah bro it dosent work like that, putting up random words together dosent take away the dirty and unhygenic ground reality away from the city.
Kerala and indore are the best cities in india
Indore is the cleanest city.
@@sunilpokhrel8904 kerala is not a city
@@An_ony_mous actually it is mysore check your facts and then comment please
You should have been to the Northeastern 7 States of India - Assam, Meghalaya, Mizoram, Arunachal Pradesh etc. Also Himachal Pradesh, unlike mainland India. North-east India and the people are drastically different and it's a different world, No pollution, no overpopulation, and you don't have to keep yourself on guard all the time unlike Delhi or any other mainland, it's very safe and people from these hills are friendly, helpful, nicest people in the entire country.
And Kerala is not too shabby either 😏
Yeah that's a really good point. For comparison. If somebody decided to walk down random streets in Detroit or Chicago they would have a very different experience of America than if they visited Boulder, Colorado or Las Vegas. There are entire cities where you cannot walk at night without fear of death.
@@davidmmm8 I agree.. Kerala is beautiful
WOW the sound effects are so realistic! I am so impressed!
Idk how you only have 5k subscribers, your content is AMAZING. I watch travel TH-camrs all the time and you are by far the most enjoyable and funniest to watch. Pls keep the content coming!
I havent laughed so hard in my life - you are funny, as an Indian, your struggle with Paan is funny.
That crystal block acts as an aftershave. It's Alum. And yes, the barber did a pretty good job. You looked good post that shave. And speaking of clean cities, did you get a chance to visit Indore, or the tri-city region of Chandigarh, Mohali, and Panchkula? I strongly request you to visit the above mentioned cities. And if you do visit Chandigarh, kindly let me know here. It'll be an honour to host you at my place. All the Best!
Don't visit crappy polluted cities in north india and think south and northeast india is like that
My state odisha, along with west bengal, all of northeast, south india, (except some parts of Tamil nadu) and even gujarat in the west are really clean and very good. The crown will go to Kerala in terms of cleanliness tho.
Two types of Paan 1. Sweet paan key ingredient Gulkand(rose petals and sugar) and paan leaf is Desi leaf. You can chew and swallow this paan. 2. Tobacco paan key ingredient Tobacco of your choice and leaf is Banarsi. You don’t chew or swallow this one. Just keep it in mouth and spit out the saliva. Don’t even swallow the spit. Tobacco paan is that infamous red color you were looking for. Betel nut is in both paans either dry or soaked. Betel nut and Catachu (kathaa in hindi) are the main ingredients that give color red to paan spit.
