Flying To MUMBAI, INDIA 🇮🇳 (SELECTED!!)
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 15 ต.ค. 2024
- I had been in the Maldives for several weeks but was about to head out on a flight to Mumbai in India. The flight would take a long time even though it was just a 2.45h direct flight. You'll see what it's like to fly to Mumbai in India as a foreigner. I had to apply for an E visa, and also fill out a health declaration form and provide proof of vaccination. The flight was a cheap flight with Air India. The coming videos will have a different video style. I have tried hard with nice dorne shots and cinematic clips but what seems to work the best these days is to walk around and speak on the street, like many other vloggers do like Bald and bankrupt, Kurt Caz, Harald Baldr, Harry Jaggard and more. So it is time to try something new.

For the people watching from India:
मैं कई हफ्तों के लिए मालदीव में था, लेकिन भारत में मुंबई के लिए उड़ान भरने वाला था। उड़ान में लंबा समय लगेगा, भले ही यह केवल 2.45 घंटे की सीधी उड़ान थी। आप देखेंगे कि एक विदेशी के रूप में भारत में मुंबई के लिए उड़ान भरना कैसा होता है। मुझे ई वीजा के लिए आवेदन करना था, और एक स्वास्थ्य घोषणा पत्र भी भरना था और टीकाकरण का प्रमाण देना था। आने वाले वीडियो में एक अलग वीडियो स्टाइल होगा। मैंने अच्छे डोर्न शॉट्स और सिनेमाई क्लिप के साथ कड़ी मेहनत की है, लेकिन इन दिनों जो सबसे अच्छा काम करता है, वह है घूमना और सड़क पर बोलना, जैसे कि कई अन्य व्लॉगर्स बाल्ड और दिवालिया, कर्ट काज़, हेराल्ड बाल्डर और बहुत कुछ पसंद करते हैं। इसलिए कुछ नया करने की कोशिश करने का समय आ गया है।
main kaee haphton ke lie maaladeev mein tha, lekin bhaarat mein mumbee ke lie udaan bharane vaala tha. udaan mein lamba samay lagega, bhale hee yah keval 2.45 ghante kee seedhee udaan thee. aap dekhenge ki ek videshee ke roop mein bhaarat mein mumbee ke lie udaan bharana kaisa hota hai. mujhe ee veeja ke lie aavedan karana tha, aur ek svaasthy ghoshana patr bhee bharana tha aur teekaakaran ka pramaan dena tha. aane vaale veediyo mein ek alag veediyo stail hoga. mainne achchhe dorn shots aur sinemaee klip ke saath kadee mehanat kee hai, lekin in dinon jo sabase achchha kaam karata hai, vah hai ghoomana aur sadak par bolana, jaise ki kaee any vlogars baald aur divaaliya, kart kaaz, heraald baaldar aur bahut kuchh pasand karate hain. isalie kuchh naya karane kee koshish karane ka samay aa gaya hai.
Man you crack me up! You're quickly becoming my favorite traveling TH-camr.
Glad to hear it! thanks!
William, thank you for sharing your life with us! You are an amazingly patient and adventurous person. I got anxiety with you at the Mumbai Airport but when you ran across the street for food, I was gone! Be safe and have fun. You are letting us enjoy adventures than many of us may never get to experience. Thank you.
Thanks for your comment Im glad you like the videos! And thanks for watching them. Thanks!!
Good luck William, Crazy place!!!!
Thanks!
CRAZY place! Good luck amigo :)
Another great video, William! Glad to see the new ones and still enjoying going back and rewatching your old ones. Be safe out there. Cheers man!
Thanks for that I appreciate it!
Thanks for sharing! Be careful! Love and watch all your videos.
Great video! I agree, travel is becoming a real pain these days. I don't think I will go to cities this big to relax that's for sure!
Thanks! Yeah hopefully it gets better soon
A few years ago on the way to the Maldives I had to take my belt off for security... I got really ratty trying to hold my shorts up, lol
if anyone wants to Relax in India, they go to places like Goa, not Mumbai.
OMG... I can feel the stress and anxiety all the way here in Canada. I certainly don't miss that part of backpacking in certain countries - endless paper work, security, language barriers, etc. You captured it well William. I am guessing you might be going to Goa next??
Yeah quite hectic and crazy!
its the same as when a brown person visits a white country..... you prob get sent to rawanda for clearance first
About the paperwork shown in the video, one is a declaration form of your past travel and address which is usually filled up in the flight itself.
The RTPCR test is madatory if you don’t have an India recognised vaccine. You could have avoided it at the airport by carrying a recent report before boarding your flight.
Also, normally you will face more paperwork when you’re traveling to a different continent (except in tourist dependent economies like Maldives or Sri Lanka).
@@williamtaudien I suggest engaging with the locals a bit more. And boosting the videos on Facebook.
Holy Moly William, You went from one of the most beautiful, peaceful and relaxing places on earth to crazy stressful Mumbai India! Be aware that Delhi to the north is even hotter right now and there are huge fires causing super air pollution conditions there. Maybe time to head to Bali Indonesia?
Love your realistic depiction of traveling/exploring the world in today’s environment. Stay safe.
Thank you! Will do!
Good luck in India William!!! Stay safe and enjoy your adventures abroad! 🙏💪
Thanks :p
Enjoy waiting your travels videos. Getting ideas of different countries. Feels like I m traveling too. Thanks for nice videos.
Wow William!! What a contrast to the Maldives!!! What a stressful arrival you had and the people don't seem very hospitable at all! This first video of your first day there took away any desire for me to go to Mumbai... Stay safe and looking forward to your next video...
You can't compare 2 different places all together.
Arrivals is stressful as india has to take proper care who comes in as threat of terrorism still prevail.
Maldives population and mumbai can't even be compared two different world all together.
Rest is u don't judge book by cover
@@vipint3694 if you complain about her country she'll probably tell you not to visit.
Even America is not safer every drug addict carrying gun and shooting
Good Job William. I'm never going here. But the MALDIVES look fantastic.
I am glad you filmed some of the troubles with traveling and telling the truth about places that are just a rip off. I understand your pain because sometimes the hassle makes your experience of a place change.
You mentioned all these successful vloggers in your description, but what really stands out is your humor. intentional or not, but you always make me laugh LOL
glad to hear that thanks. Yeah I need to try something different because the scenic clips and music and stuff doesn't seem to help much.
Holy! What a change in your life just a day or two. Keep the videos coming but stay safe!
You'll have a million followers in no time! Thank you for all the small honest details that most TH-camrs don't share! Love your channel!
Oh ya, also I'm super excited to see you in India brother!!!
OMG William, i just finished watching the video and I got lots of anxiety lol It was scary the looks you got, and the amount of people and traffic was too much! Most people from India that I meet are very nice and respectful, I hope that your next video shows that.
Yeah I think that day was a strange day I hav emet some nice people also
When traveling in India or any other culture, you should be aware of local etiquettes. People usually stare when they see someone behaving out of the ordinary.
For India, two things you can remember regarding stares:
1) The upper echelons of the society will stare or confront if you do something impolite or not per the etiquettes.
2) The lower echelons will stare as they are inquisitive and will possibly want to get pictures clicked with a foreigner. This is an old rural practice in India where people who travel to a big city from villages will take pictures to show their family back home that they went to travel so far that they met someone from even far off! This basically amazes their family members in terms of how far the person had traveled from their village.
Quick tips for traveling:
Look at the shoes of people before you go to ask them questions. If they are wearing outside shoes, they can help you out with answers, otherwise if they are wearing flip-flops, they might not be able to understand you.
You can also ask for directions from any shop/store to a particular place (Don’t ask their opinion or reviews of the place though).
Good for you for trying new things in your videos! Your videos are awesome.
Thank you so much!
LOVE IT! Now that’s travel! Good luck on your adventure. This series is going to be a real nail biter! I got my Black Sheep Merch in the mail. Very good quality!
thanks! Oh great haha thank you Im thankful for the support!
William! Yea it's amazing how things change when you change countries. Be careful and safe my friend!! Cheers!
Best wishes to you in India. The pollution is smothering! Stay safe William!
Thanks yes crazy pollution! Cant believe it
Wow that was a stress travel, good luck my friend and enjoy India ✌🏻
Hello William! I am back in PVR. We are staying at the marina. Love your travels stay safe. Karen 🤗
In the next video you should be going back to the airport and getting a one-way ticket to Lake Como in Italy!
What a change from the serenity of the Maldives. It's the complete opposite. Please take care!
India has Lakhwadeep islands, check it out. Pretty similar to Maldives.
Lol that was hilarious about having to look for your taxi with the registration number 😂
haha yeah that was a bit crazy!
i really liked this video cause it showed some of the problems one could find awesome job and safe trip
Good luck William!
👍💖
William, I've been watching your videos for a few years now and you always put a smile on my face. You have such a positive attitude and you are definitely very inspiring! I will keep watching as long as you keep posting! 🙃
Great video william ....stay safe looks like mayhem there..
what a nice video friend, thanks for sharing it with each of us
Love the vids keep them coming 👍👍 not to sure about Mumbai it’s the last place I would have chosen to travel to myself gd luck hope everything goes ok.
Now finally you will get to your goal of 100 thousand subscribers. Welcome to my hometown. I recommend blogging Chor Bazar, Crawford Market, Dharavi Slums where Slumdog Millionaire was filmed, Elephanta Caves, Grant Road where houses red-light area, Juhu Beach, Gorai Beach, Mount Mary's Church, a ride on a BEST Bus, take a ride on the entire length of the 4 Ltd bus. Eat pao bhaji, Masala Dosa, Idli Sambar, Vada Pao, and lots of Mangoes. It's mango season in Bombay.
The country that is not for a faint hearted , tourists from India takes lots of memories (Pleasant and unpleasant both ), India will test all your emotions ...Good luck bro
Love your investigative reporting William. Really enjoyed this video. Such a contrast with the Maldives. While I’m sure it’s very stressful for you it’s a great honest perspective that we all appreciate. I hope you survive. Go to Iran next.
You should have stayed in the Maldives my brother. That place looks crazy.
I would go back to the Maldives asap!
Wow. Extreme traveling. Maybe stay to the rich area. Or go by the beach.
They stare at you cause you are different-blond,blue-eyed,pinkish Viking 😎
What an exciting destination! Safe travel to you William and enjoy your adventure
Thank you! Will do!
Enjoy your trip. I was in India in 2018 and it was definitively strong experience. Jaipur, Agra, Delhi are really nice cities.
I remember that my departure from Delhi were many many many check controls, securities, many steffs at the airport.
I think its better to have some tourist guide in India, cause everywhere are scams for tourists…
William ,still love all your videos , you keep bein you it's very fun to await your next adventure !!!
Thanks 👍
Wow, great adventure through the airport process and arriving in Bombay. My heart was beating fast waiting to see what happens next. You definitely stood out like a sore thumb on the streets outside your hotel. A big tall, blonde guy carrying a camera 📷 I think this is going to be a very eventful journey. Stay safe 🙏
Haha yeah I was surprised about how the people acted on the street at night
I went thru that same process when I went to Dominican Republic 🇩🇴 you have to fill out those forms for entering and leaving the country. It was STRESS! And you have to go online to get the scan code to get on the plane ✈️
William went for a cheap but decent hotel (Fab Hotels) which is a chain used by office employees when travelling to a different city for work and need to stay a night. These hotels are not tourist friendly. He seems to be staying in an area that is not used to tourists. The man who complained was because William was standing with a selfie stick in the middle of a walking road which is impolite. In India people walk fast on the roads in traffic, and they are not going to be watching out for obstructions in a non-tourist area. It’s better to use Go-pro to avoid these confrontations when filming in foot-traffic heavy areas.
It’s definitely going to be an interesting watch! 😂😂😂
Safe Travels ,what a confusing mess,you are really good at dealing with traveling,I would freak out,enjoy your post very much,take care William .
Yikes! After the calm beauty and warm,friendly people u met in the Maldives, Mumbai must be a real shock to the system.Stay hydrated.India is having a major heatwave right now! You are brave eating that random street food! Wow.The paper work and security was absolutely crazy! Beaches in South Goa are nicest but u have to fly there.Everything in India is crowded and spread out. Not my cup of tea but I know many who have been to India.Stay safe! They are staring because you are very blond and very white ( or should I say red?) and are wearing beach clothes.Makes you stand out!
Sad too because your leaving that paradise but i am happy too because we are knowing Thanks to you a new Country, Thanks Again for amazing those Videos William, have a nice trip
Thank you!
What a culture shock that transition must’ve been. Really eye opening to the differences in this world.
I love to feel like I'm traveling with you!
I so miss doing it.
Please be careful and enjoy India.
Big hugs! ❤️
Interesting clip, enjoyed watching thanks
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great video, William!! Even though India would not have been my first choice after leaving what looked to be paradise... Be safe out there.
OMG! After the Maldives, complete opposite! Stay safe!
Good morning William, wishing you great travels! Thank you for all the info shared about the Island, I have now add it to my bucket list. ❤️ Take care during your travels, and looking forward on all new videos.
Thanks for watching :)
India is one place I have no desire to travel but many love it. Lol someone else that has a hard time understanding them I always have to ask 3 times.
It was the same for me but I thought ah why not see what it is like
@@williamtaudien yeah I get it and it’s about the adventures just not me.
Hi William looks a bit crazy wonder why everyone was staring at you very strange I would be on the next flight back to the maldives lol really enjoyed the videos stay safe
Like seriously.......
Probably not used to foreign vloggers!
Haha yeah or some new nice place
Deffo fly back to paradise ☆
@@williamtaudien Thailand or Bali lots of nice places to explore I'm off to playacar in Mexico on Monday for a couple of weeks
You're quite savvy William. A good quality for you.
Hi William, I truly admire how you can travel anywhere you want without knowing the country’s language. Your very brave and I wish one day I can do the same !! Be safe !!
Wow! That place is overwhelming! Best to move on immediately!
Good luck my friend and welcome to Mumbai!!! 😀😀😀
Crazy how much anxiety I got watching you go thru your airport to India experience..I nearly turned it off. Exactly why I stopped traveling when COVID hit. Thank you for the education
Thanks but don't turn it off! you should watch haha! >D
@@williamtaudien hahaha
@@williamtaudien I kept watching..the suspense was real lol. Looking forward to part 2
Crazy session get out not friendly WOW thanks for the video 👍😀
India is crowded and stressful. Good travels William.
Yes to say the least lol
@@williamtaudien sad to see people yelling at you. I think they are jealous. Stay safe and love your videos.
@@notsure1276 Why they will be jealous of a foreigner.
U live in ivory tower
Looks like a strange adventure with a lot of surprise, take care!
Hope you have a better days in India, it looks really chaotic.
Wow, that was eye-opening! Traveling to foreign countries the way you do is not for the faint of heart!
Very interesting. Watching from Michigan USA
Crazy place to get in to. From this first video in Mumbai, my guess is that you will be getting out of there soon. It’s a big country, but the big cities are not the place to be. For me. ☮️
Yeah maybe soon! But interesting g to see how people live in some parts of the world
From paradise in Maldives into .. a country which has some really nice places to visit like several hill stations in the north of the country , some beach destinations ( but not as beautiful like the Maldives , Mexico or Thailand ), some historic sites , and of course the backwaters of Kerala. But as is evident from your experience at the airport and walking in the city , you have to be very careful every step of the way , and you will need a lot of luck as things do not happen smoothly at all !!!!. All being said enjoy the journey and best of luck. 👍👍👍👍👍
As they say here in the USA, "To each, his own." Your travel destination choices are quite unique, & I most certainly would never go to some of the places you've visited---but, that's what keeps your channel interesting to me. And, you have your own, unique, style of putting all of your videos together---so, please don't worry about copying those other TH-camrs you mentioned---just stick to what's been working best for you all along!
@@williamtaudien Well, there's certainly no harm in experimenting with new approaches, in order to see which might prove most successful at gaining increased views & subscribers...still, in the end, I think you'll find what you're doing now works best--it's just going to take more refinement & more time...I recently subscribed to "itchy boots" on TH-cam...she has over 3 million subscribers, & she employs a more cinematic presentation, such as yours...it's taken her a long time to build up her subscribership, plus she changed from being a backpacker traveler to a rally motorcyclist (which everyone loves apparently)...you'll find your niche--it's just going to take a little longer than you may have wanted or anticipated...just enjoy the journey on the road less traveled!
Bombay is epic if your a traveler! Not to be missed and the best big city in India imo. Expensive tho. I love it there!!!
Strange, I haven't heard that thing in NYC. To each, his own.
@@visulino Google it
@@williamtaudien your content is very good, whatever issue you are having getting more subscribers must be related to something else which isn’t obvious to me.
💖💖 Love,love this intro to India 's madness.
Your hotel is in the suburbs of Mumbai. Santa Cruz to be precise. Most of the foreigners usually stay in the town area around Colaba. That’s where the old colonial style buildings etc are located. No rickshaws are allowed in town area i.e. Mahim to Colaba.
Hope you have an excellent time in Mumbai!
It so wonderful to be introduced to something new from my culture in Central Texas.
I have recently been so blessed to have a couple of Indian coworkers who are so sweet to teach me their culture. They bring me different foods and drinks to try. I learned the side to side head shaking is similar to us American shaking yes up and down.
William, you’re so fortunate to be able to travel and meet different cultures straight in their homeland. Yes, there’s anxiety, but approaching with a calm heart will allow you to appreciate a whole new world. Thank you for filming and taking us with you.❤
That was one stressful trip! Please be safe, the people were all looking at you, so strange and scary. But I guess is because they are not used to have foreigners visit often, you really stand out with those beautiful golden curls. I know Indian people are very friendly here in the US but I don't know what they are like in their country. I am sure you are gonna be fine but still be very careful and thank you for being so courageous to film in any situation. Thank you for sharing!
Holy Crap, William! Hopefully you find a friendlier part of the country...I can't believe the looks you were getting and we freaked out at the end of your video with the running footsteps outside your door!! You clearly are trying to be nice, but some people want no part of it...PLEASE be safe! And find a safer place to stay! ✌️☮️
William.you are a brave man.
thanks my friend
Mumbai isn't bad. Its just different and takes time to understand it. It is definitely overwhelming for sure. Especially if its your first time. Check out Juhu Beach, proper Bombay and street food scene. The city is amazing to discover. It has everything for everyone.
In Mumbai Metro Rail is under construction everywhere that’s y we mumbaikar have to face traffic problems in some areas.
India, a country run amok with humanity. Too many people. The poor air quality alone would have me yearning for a new, better choice of destination. Always wishing you the best our friend. Stay safe William. -oO( ❤️ )Oo-
Few cities have poor air quality.. and mostly seasonal.... India is ancient civilization along with China... that's why more population... and it's a huge country... plenty to see with 43 world heritage sites, world wonder...sad to see at this dying aga , u still have pathetic, racist mentality with colonial hang over.. don't think India will miss u..who knows u may be a mass shooter... though millions visit here every year...
This was an awesome video because it showed the immigration process in great detail. Don't think that you have to follow your "plan". I say go back to the Maldives, go back to the same hotel on Diffushi and stay for as long as you like. You seemed to be genuinely [a bit] sad when you were leaving, Life is full of challenges as is -- don't seek them out additionally. If a moment in life blesses you with serenity, that is where you should be. Don't run away from the place you enjoy just because you think you have to keep moving.... :)) The time will come for that, too.
Hey William love your videos, how long do u think u will stay in India? The pollution is pretty bad there.,i don't see u running much there. Stay safe hope to run into one day. Maybe Mexico
See you …. We are at Komandoo for 8 more days, we have loved watching your Maldivan escapades … take care William…
Always sad to leave the Maldives :( Great to watch the new adventure :)
Man, what a sh*thole, I'd be on the next plane out. Good luck, my friend.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I had no idea that India would be so congested & parts of it looks dirty. In addition, William be careful those men that were acting upset it could be that they don't want to appear in cameras or video. Furthermore, you're at a disadvantage not knowing the language. Please be careful, but enjoy your stay... Abrazos
Safe travels!!! love ur videos💜
Thank you!!
Wow, that was stressful! You sure have a lot of patience. I hope the rest of your stay there is better. Stay safe !
I hope so too! thanks!
MUMBIA MADNESS! Be safe! All saw where men everywhere... I think your stay in India should be short.
Wow, what a difference after the maldives. Let's hope first impressions are wrong lol. Stay safe
You should have gone to Lakshadweep, which is very similar to Maldives with less tourist it's very clean. These islands are part of India.
Airport experience including taxi seemed like a total Cluster F**k! Strange place. Hope you are safe.
Looks like your worst nightmare so far. I hope things pick up for you, William. Watch out for your valuables. Just saying. Have fun 🤗
Yeah lol it was a shock
@@williamtaudien I bet...I saw the look on your poor, overwhelmed face 😁 Search for some calm there...somewhere, and some peeps willing to chat with you. You'll do fine. Just watch your stuff....
Dude next to when, you cracked that beer open! 😂😂 that was funny
haha
I look forward to your sharing this new adventure and culture.
Return to Mexico! Also crazy but not nearly as crazy. Thanks for sharing your experiences with us!
México crazy?! I don't think so!!
@@universojuanluis12 si es, Carlos. Yo soy Mexicana. La verdad es la verdad.
Wow. Not that I would ever want to go to a busy Indian city, but the more I see video of it the less I would consider it. Not that they would need one more person to cram.
Don't know how many of your followers got their blood pressure higher just by watching this video. Please get out of there and go to a more pleasant area. 🙏
Stay safe and don't worry about what they are telling you on the street, it's better not to know.
I would be running across the water back to the Maldives!! 😱
