The line hit me hard , ' THE ONLY TIME I HAD FOOD POISONING WAS WHEN I ATE FROM SUBWAY'..... Street food is always fresh 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
depends on the area and the quality,most is highly unhealthy with bad oil that might be dangerous in the long run.
Well lucky him! I've been living in India for six years now and I had several severe food poisonings and a year back typhoid (got lucky I got antibiotics straight away even before the results were back. Took 3 months to recover).
@@anna-marianunezvega1520 which city u live in india??????? typhoid main cause is street sugarcane juice always select a hygienic place free of flies as even indians we r also not immune to it....buy only from street vendor known of us or busy guy who sales off all stuff and doesn't store or next day to sell.... most imp selection of street food that also plays imp role
@@VJ96K I live in Bangalore and Mumbai, got Typhoid in Bangalore. I never even tried sugar cane juice and I didn't have any street food at all in the weeks before I got sick.

Unfortunately foolish people like you are so complacent that you cannot see any hidden intentions beyond sweet words.
I’ve lived in Australia for almost 9 years and can say this with confidence that Aussies are extremely fun loving, friendly and respectful people, well most of them are! All the major cities are too multicultural and majority of them have Indian friends and like Indian culture and food and not to forget Bollywood!

he ain't wrong back in 2006-07-08 It was really bad situation for Indians in Australia. The discrimination which was going on at that time was so bad.@@AutumnRain86
Your interviews are super, Max. Am Indian living in the US planning to return to India for seva and gratitude to my motherland
In India there is reservation and now SC ST Act. You have been warned. India is not safe for hindus anymore. Stay where you are.
Wonderful!
You will run back in 1 month... it's getting worse by the day.
@@Oo-pl9zg I think you should emigrate if you don't like it or stay overseas if you are already there. For myself, lived in 9 countries including India 3 times - don't worry about me.
Jai Hind! God bless you and gratitude to the universe for giving you such a wonderful opportunity.
What a beautiful video, feels like the guest had ingested Mumbai in him and can spit out the answers in a beautiful articulative manner.
He was paid , it all propaganda by the Indian government silly.
Unfortunately, he is racist against the West and does not know anything about the Muslim colonists who invaded India and put homosexuals to death.
Man is a well sorted person. Humanitarian and creative by heart
you mean naive?
wait until you find his hidden folders on his laptop.

I have interacted with Glenn during my MBA days in GIM at a theater workshop in 2016. He is a wonderfull human being.
For the first time in my life i watched someone who tells the truth about Bharat (India) in front of camera. God bless him.

The man is a human with open senses, this is how you assess and express openion and experiences about any civilization.
Finally! A "foreigner" who gets it.
Zero cringe.
watch our tollywood !!!
Love Glen. One of the most down to Earth people I have ever seen.
The way he was talking is just refreshing, after a long time I have seen someone talking totally sensible thing about a place, without much judgement. Reality that India is not west❤️
He spoke as he sees and express as fit. Some people get culture shock when they go, like any where else, people have to have an open mind & learn to adapt to other people living and lifestyles.
Agree with you and embrace cultures different from ones own native culture! ❤
He is a life director! 🙏🙇♂️
He must meet South Indian director Mr. Bagyaraj.........
The last quote was awesome "I want to get out of my comfort zone, I want to be reminded that it is a big world and our home land is not the only place where people are living"
"Australia isn't the only way people are living" *
The amount of respect I have for Glenn is massive. He clearly understands the culture of India, and is being real with it. We're just people living and trying to make it in life. There are obviously some things that are not great in India, but we're trying to grow out of it after being robbed by the British for about a century.
The history of British rule is rather more complex and in depth than, 'being robbed by the British', there were pros and cons to British rule, which even Indian historians recognise. Besides that, that was a long time ago, you should've got it together by now. Why don't you research 'pros and cons to British rule'? Maybe it'll put things into perspective.
Intelligent civilization nevwe blame others.
Almost definitely Glenn is descended from British people. It's quite possible that ancestors of his were involved in colonising or occupying India.
@donnchadhenglish2414 There are no pros about invading a country and ruling the people with a iron rod, stealing their resources and spices. The desecration of their people and land, and leave them to pick up all the pieces. Let's not even talk about the war between India and Pakistan the erupted when the British left.
Absolute nonsense about pros and cons.
@@donnchadhenglish2414 The history of British rule in India is not so complex. It wasn't possible to do settler colonization as the Brits did in Australia, New Zealand, North America, and South Africa. They had to do exploitative colonization. This was recognized by Indians within decades of the Battle of Plassey and was referred to as the "drain theory". It is important to note that the coinage of the "drain theory" in academic parlance were by Indian collaborators and compradors such as the Parsis, for e.g., Dadabhai Naoroji. The UK still spends a lot of money glorifying their Empire. People like Niall Ferguson, WIlliam Dalrymple are prime examples of this category of Empire Whisperers who were funded to whitewash the bloody legacy of the Empire.
The so-called "complexity" arises from the need for a moralistic veneer to the cold exploitation and loot. Just like biblical stories of Noah and the curse of Ham was used as the facade to justify trans-Atlantic slavery, a s similar theory of "Imperial trusteeship", "White Man's burden" was invented at Oxford to justify exploitative colonization in India. And 75 years is not so long ago. It is barely 3 generations since the Brits were booted out. It must be remembered that it was just a century ago that Australia and Canada managed to obtain Dominion status owing to their "Whiteness", while India was denied the same.
Love his understanding of the people and accepting them as they are instead of trying to change them.
Thats the one thing we all miss when moving to a place with different culture and way of living. If you want everything to be 'as is' in ur comfort zone, then refrain from moving to a different place.
Humans of Mumbai! This man is surely one of them. Heart of gold.
What a positive person wow I’m living outside of india near about 10 years what I notice here European and American mostly who are 40 plus they are extremely good people but coming generations is too individual🙏🙏
Worth to listen and thank you being more this kind more videos
This guy is the epitome of positivity!
Thank you so much for making this. Glenn is so respectful and loving, he truly gets India.
A great video yet again.👏👏🌺🌺
It accurately portrays the street life in the less known suburbs of Mumbai.
Quite a shock for westerners but the reality is that every small business on the streets will thrive and the vendors who are successful go on to bigger things.
God bless India..! 🇮🇳
India is a mighty country, may God bless her and the wonderful people of India!
Thanks for the great talk. It had a lot of insight of our country. This conversation gives a observer perspective of our country
Good one Max. You already had this guy earlier. But it was refreshing to share new experiences in a totally outdoor background, and I realised it later that I could hear all the conversation very clearly. Nice one. Thanks Max.
Its always a delight to watch Max's interviews with foreigners settled in India..... and i loved his last interview with Glenn as well... it was so interesting and its always a pleasure to listen to Glenn... m a gay from India and can relate and agree with most things he just said... would love to share my experiences with Glenn sometime, while in Mumbai...😊.... ❤❤lots of love from Delhi... 💓💞💕❣️❤️
I'm not Marathi but Marathi culture & people that made Maharashtra safe, generally immigrants do cr!mes here in Mumbai ❤
How can u even tell this? india is for indians anyone can move or reside in any part of country, they contribute to the states economy, people frm every culture, language n religion resides here, many of the marathi people also do crimes, it's not that only migrants do, everywhere there is good n bad people, not right to completely blame on anyone.
True
You are absolutely right ✅️
I have seen native peoples doing crimes oh please u r not fallen Angel 😅
I say the same thing about delhi
But i get perceived as sarcastic
Hi max , your interviewing is guite good ,so also glenn narrating his view, while walking is also quite good , his words are also descriptive as he his director for theatre , this is probably the best interview , both parts 1 and 2
Wow! Glen looks like a person whom we would love to see talk more.
Such a gem of a guy, so down to earth. He is not like other foreigners who either go extremely happy or critical and mostly fake ( I'm referring to youtubers)imho. A grounded man with a true perspective.
Wow, what a fantastic interview - many thanks! It made me want to see Mumbai!
Thank you, Glenn, for your belief in India.
Please continue to maintain your habit of greeting others; I believe we Indians can learn from you and adopt this habit as well.
Thanks ❣
Thank you for sharing your awareness to the world!
i glad to see a man's experience he is experienced and wise man with practical attitude it's hard to deceive him and that makes him perfect for mumbai and india.

04:59 🎭 Inspiring a beggar boy: Glenn shares a heartwarming story of mentoring a beggar boy, introducing him to theater, and witnessing positive changes in his life over time.
07:02 🐟 Attitude towards homosexuality: Residents in a fishing village show more acceptance towards LGBTQ+ individuals compared to some more educated urban areas, attributing historical prejudice to Western influence.

👌👌👌👌 Noteworthy summing up of Glen's impressions of Mumbai & by extension, the rest of BHARAT 🇮🇳🙏🇮🇳
The REAL MAN...... HE is exploring india great mam 🇮🇳🙏🙏🙏
I have been in India twice. True, it is safe there. Indians are helpful and kind. In fact, I want to live there.
Yeah, as long as you're male...
just propaganda, that's what this video is all about
You make me homesick ,though being of Indian ethnic stock I have never set foot in India. Thank you for sharing your privileged experiences.
I'm so glad to see the place and the friendliness of the people has not changed, I spent 7 weeks in Mumbai in the late 1970's during ship repairs ( Bombay in my time) and loved the place. I remember how honest & friendly the people were. As a marine engineer on merchant ships I use to just walk around many city's by myself and this was one of the safest, I love local food and loved the different styles and loved the way the young men from small villages would have all their cooking equipment on a bicycle, would totally trust you with their whole lives possessions while they went to buy the ingredients to what you wanted. Thank you for the video👍
Another beautiful video Max. I have also his actualy interview by you.. you r showing us india with foreign lens :)
Such an interesting cool person not even Indians are so adaptive in India. .
Love your blogs just fantastic...so thoughtful ,and diverse insights from different parts of the world
There are!
I’m in love 🥰. He’s got an ABSOLUTELY beautiful center. But what’s rare is his intelligence and openness along with that true beauty. May d gods bless this human with great abundance and a very long life 🙇♀️ 🙏 😊
I love the honesty with which he described his experience.
Sir huge respect for you because you are expressing real feelings about india . Stay blessed stay happy
Wow amazing series.. brilliant idea..
Would a Single Woman as a foreigner Person have the same experiences in india?
Exactly.
I covered that in a video on my channel
What a warm feeling I get with my coffee this morning, thank you! I'll be subscribing
Educated, experienced and unbiased, loved it, maybe we will meet someday 😆
I avoid Subway. I have had a bad stomach from Subway. This guy is a good human with maturity and common sense. Seems like he'd be a great friend.
the man is so grounded and humble
What a beautiful interview Glen! Good morning ❤️
Amazing videos, Amazing Interviewer and Amazing and nice Australian man who was happen to be in your video❤❤🎉
Amazing knowledge he has about life....❤️
One of the best and genuine feedback on India.. No exaggeration, just real good true daily lives..
This guy is great! Thanks for posting the video.
Very beautiful perspective.. A beautiful mind and a beautiful person.. Thank you ..
I am happy to hear the kind of openness in while he shares his own experience about Bharat. He is telling the the truth about how westerners influenced and change the perception about India. The people from India always follow the culture of 'Athiti Devo Bhava' and always open to accept foreigners.
I was privileged to be in India for eight days back in 2000. I visited Mumbai, Vadodara, Chennai, and Rahjahmundry on a business trip. I met many friendly, warm, and personable people. I never felt any threats or danger. The only thing that deeply affected me was the overwhelming poverty. I was reluctant to eat anything not prepared in a restaurant or in someone’s home, so I lost 12 pounds in eight days! The Howrah Mail train ride was educational and I met several people on the train that were fascinating. It was an amazing trip that I will never forget.
Hi Mr Jonny thank you for your kind words and glad you enjoyed here. But i request you to please start using Bharat instead of India as India is name given by the Colonialist and Bharat is the traditional name. Thanks alot🙏
hey bro.... i m from Vadodara.... come back n visit again... its changing here at very fast pace😊😊😊😊😊😊
You should defienetly visit again! We have grown a lot since the 1990s and a lot more since 2001...Especially due to Mobile and cheaper internet
🤣🤣🤣🤣 This Poverty cuased due to the Bandits of West Looting our Money time and time again. . you are just looking at Poverty and got some. Just like the WEST there are so many Poor and drug addicts littered on roads and malls. you just point out INdia and indians in hypocrisy. We Indians 100 times Better than WEST people who always Paint themselves as Rich but bunch of Bandits exploiting other countries. you don't have anything to say other than old phrases of Brits.. Poverty. This Poverty cuased due to the Bandits of West Looting our Money time and time again.
@@Itachi_Uchia1Our constitution recognizes both. And India is a very sweet name that people all over the world can easily spell and pronounce.
what an amazing man, he reminds me of some of my mentors in college very educated perspective, I'm incredibly humbled by people who really live their values.
That was super informative and makes me think differently about society and perceptions.
This is the way to live in a foreign country, not just in India but anywhere in the world. Each culture and society is different; the best way to feel one among them is to look at it and live there without prejudice, not as a tourist.
well said, I am prepping for living abroad with learning the languages and cultures before my first move, I do not want to go and bring a purely western experience to some place, I want to have that place influence me and my understanding, I want to learn and not attempt to enforce any preconception of standard or prejudice
Quite interesting conversation.
His attitude is fabulous! I loved everything this man said! What a breath of fresh air. Oh that we had more like him, it would change the world.
Thanks to Glenn and you for sharing positive aspects about India. I've seen some vloggers who share only negative aspects about the country. It's surprising how Glen got connected to India and blended in.
Truly,a wise old man!
He has given life lessons 🙌🏻🙌🏻👏🏻
Lot of respect for Glenn, he is really a amazing personality..
Thank you Max for doing these interviews! It tells a lot about India from a foreigner’s perspective. There are a lot of things that needs to be improved but I still love my India.
He is very good friend of mine. Great Man
Very interesting and love that Max mentioned how open Indians were (historically) pretty open about sex in general - reminds me of what I have been learning lately through exploring Hinduism and the vedas/vedic teaching - something about the gods/goddesses/deities being genderless... especially as Glen said that the West brought the prejudice.
There's no proof that the 'west brought prejudice' at all, that's just his fantasy take on it
He is saying educated Indians dislike homosexuality more than the working class, but fails to mention the views on it held by the large Muslim population in India. And trust me, it's a lot worse than what educated Indians think
Lovely interview!
Yes, please do another video with Glen... Really enjoyed his very real affection for the place and people... his understanding of their lives and approach to living in India and in Mumbai ..
Amazing interview Max. Loved every second of it.
The thing where Glenn talks about how language is the reason for Indians being clever, I couldn't agree more. Almost all states have different languages but 90% are a derivative of Sanskrit, which is minimum 5000 years old and has been claimed by the Germans and Russians as a 'mantric' language meaning that learning this language affects certain areas of the brain that are associated with critical thinking. One can go to a very less educated Indian and still see him doing difficult mental tasks very easily with minimum application of the mind. Sometimes I sit and think to myself that if India would've been blessed with politicians who aren't corrupt and we the intelligent minds would be availed of the same opportunities as the USA or West does, where would India be today?
Yep. Imagine if even half or even 1/10th of those imigrants who have gone to America, UK, Australia, Dubai and Singapore and done so well could have stayed in India and also been successful. Sad that India's elite and ruling class is totally gutless, vissionless and lazy Sigh.
Well we are still crawling towards progress every year despite a system that does it best to fight that but it could have been so much faster if we had a better ruling class.
Its so beautiful how the norm for us is India and the weird is Australia, less people, clean unbroken streets and prosperity, our kids never see this.. Lets say 50 years later we become cleaner like east Asia, but the kids born that time will feel it normal, and would never feel right that India was like this and that.. I can never understand the mind of the kid born in absolute poverty, his understanding of the world and life..
Yes but over the years some places have become more dirty, my father told me Mumbai in 70s was very clean and green its only in late 80s too many slums started coming up and population boom , corruption in municipalities caused beautiful city to become city with slums
@@embeddedprojects2336 same with bangalore
@@embeddedprojects2336same with delhi
@@bharathsf Yeah exactly. Bangalore was an amazing place, home to amazing people form both the North and the South. But in recent years, the political parties here started playing language politics to create a divide between Kannada speaking and non-Kannada speaking people. Now the people from the South who're a little rough around the edges tend to hate the North Indians and do lots of name calling, and in retaliation the Northerners make really hateful comments too. With the way the political scene in the south is going, I think it'll be a second West Bengal.
Worth to listen and thank you being more this kind more videos
What a wonderful human being, Glenn!
Mumbai is a fantastic place I have lived in Mumbai for one year from Singapore 🇸🇬
Good One Mate...I m glad he is liking it living In India, i would suggest him to probably travel down south, May be bangalore n I m sure he ll feel at home.
Tamil Nadu too.
As a North Indian, my 1month + stay in that State for medical investigation in Vellore, then a stay in "Madras" back then, Nagapattinam.....are memorable, with very fond thoughts.
May ALMIGHTY GOD Bless & Preserve our Ancient homeland, BHARAT.🙏🇮🇳🙏🇮🇳🙏🇮🇳🙏
This was a great video, very interesting. The Indian people have been so kind to me on my trips to Mumbai, they're really lovely.
Love your work. Really interesting to hear the perspectives of foreigners and how it has changed over the years. Can you cover Bangalore and Goa please?
Wow you have become local. An Aussie would not dare to lecture a kid (probably his own as well) like you did to that stranger about life and what he should do.
Of course we would
This video script can be used as a chapter for an English Lesson in CBSE books Lol.
Glenn has a great way to see the world. I learned a lot about how to have right attitude about life.
Thanks for the video.
This is definitely one of the best street conversation I've seen in a long time.
Good job. ✌🏾
Glen would be treated far differently if his name was Gwen, 30 years younger, and without any street smarts. You can take that to the bank.
He can't exactly spend the entire video speaking about what it would be like as a hypothetical 20 something woman
Proud of being Indian 🇮🇳🇮🇳....un apologies to being toooo much proud of my ancient culture preserved like gold 🪙🥇
This guy see all the people of world with same respect. Issues are everywhere just need to see with unbiased way

Please interview expats from other cities too. Id love their perspective. Not just mumbaikars
Tiny correction 11:50 in subtitles he is not saying baraf (iced), but Bada (Large).
No he's saying baraf, he explained it later
@@Yashodhan1917Nope, because he quried about safety of water/ice thats why is explained it.

Hope the locals treat you as one among them..! Just like the Aussies treat me as one among them..!
Top tier guy
India is the most tolerant country in Asia when it comes to outsiders. The government of Bharat never bothers you once you get out of the airport. You don't need to register to the police stations, you don't need to stay at government designated hotels, and most importantly you can go wherever you wanna go without disguised tour guides spying on you. Love you Bharat and love you incredible India 🇮🇳
Lol, you have seriously no Idea what you are talking about! I'm in top management in an Indian firm on Indian contract. Been in India for six years and the level of harrasement I have been facing from the FRRO is NEXT LEVEL. I have worked in other countries too, but have never witnessed anything like this. India doesn't want foreigners in the country (other than tourists), because we already have enough people here. And it shows.

That is absolutely not true..
just scrolled into this video and ended up watching it all ... such an easy going way to take an interview
I envy such individuals. This incredible ability to gel with such a different culture to yours. I could never....
10:46 I'm extremely skeptical about them being eligible to play taxes, as near about 1% of the population pays taxes in India. The government exempts those whose annual earnings do not exceed a stated amount. That being said, for the ones paying taxes, it's quite a hard life lol. Great video, great person. Wise to his age.
Yes, many will pay taxes but not all, just go to a lawyer or an accountant and he'll find you loopholes 😂

As an American living in India I can honestly say that I did not personally know anything about India before I came here!!! Now living here in India with my wife and 4 kids I realize how little I thought about broadening my perspective on other countries and cultures! We have been living here in India for a little while and we are learning new things every single day! We love it here in Bharat!!!
This interview is a positive impact !
Thank you! planning on working abroad in a few years from now, India is right near the top of the list. I work with many folks from India, all extremely positive experiences there-in.
