I'm Canadian and have been travelling to India for years. I love Mumbai and the people there. I remember a few years ago when a piece of paper fell out of my pocket while I was walking down the street without my being aware of it and a young teenager picked it up and running down the crowded street after me to hand it back to me. I couldn't imagine any Canadian teenager ever doing that. I love the vibrant life and wonderful food and the way locals welcome foreigners into their families as well. I've travelled the world, but still feel India is my favourite country.
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.
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.
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👍
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🙏

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

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.

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.
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.
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
I stayed in the Banda/Versova area of Mumbai for 2 weeks in 2019 and it blew me away. Multicultural, cool, vibrant. I met a group of locals who I still keep in touch with. What a place. When I came back to Chicago it was like everything was moving in slow motion
With the rape cases happening every now and then ,it will be hard even for us indians to stay patriotic. It’s disgusting and horrific for those women who have suffered. Sad to say I’m indian.
Unfortunately things are as bad in other countries as well. Especially US is actually extremely dangerous for women and children. However, you won't get the news in global news platforms as there is not as much stigma about rapes and they generally don't even mention it, just puts something like assault. In India, things have become worse, but at least there is more awareness and anger among the people.
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.
I came to India in 2019 to spend one year and never left. My experience here is very similar to his, although I live in Tamil Nadu. I just can`t picture myself anywhere else.
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.
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
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 ❣
Most of the people in world, india, Mumbai are good and gentle. Respect and salute to beautiful people of Mumbai from Karachi. Love to visit Mumbai sometime
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
@@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.
Being a non-indian, I believe that Indians are by far the only people who are dedicated whenever they do anything, they believe i hardship, they are very close to their humble roots, and they are very generous by heart.
The fact that instead of judging and screaming at the guy who has to resort to sex work to get by, he lectured him on health and safety. He gave him tickets to expose him to something positive in his life goes to show what a great soul Glen is.
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!!!
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.
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
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.
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
Im an Aussie, grew up in India (was there from 2015-2020) and then moved to Singapore. What he say's is very similar, also that point of "I didnt come here to live amongst other foreigners" is so true. Whats the point of living in a new culture and not experiencing it?
Most indian cities are so safe , i can't tell you the horror you feel when you have to think about going outside after sunset in any foreign cities. That tells indian police do work where needed
@@Hellblazer0212 I'm your long lost dad, Indian police will work properly only under some pressure, majority of women from foreign countries have experienced some harrasment, there was a case where a tourist girl who was travelling solo in Rajasthan was being harassed by an Indian dude and he started wanking in front of her, police did nothing until the news spread like wildfire. Majority of indian men need to learn to respect women.
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.

I’m from Himachal and went to Mumbai last month to attend a wedding….i was there for a week, i absolutely liked nothing about Mumbai…. People are rude and always angry for no apparent reason, the weather is horrible, the beaches are a shame as there’s garbage all around them, so many illegal encroachments and Bangladeshis living in Bandra….. absence of proper water, traffic and very noisy…
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.

Welcome mate!
Women security willvalso get developed just wait 😊@@mrsleep0000
You make me homesick ,though being of Indian ethnic stock I have never set foot in India. Thank you for sharing your privileged experiences.
One of the best and genuine feedback on India.. No exaggeration, just real good true daily lives..
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.
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.
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
I stayed in the Banda/Versova area of Mumbai for 2 weeks in 2019 and it blew me away. Multicultural, cool, vibrant. I met a group of locals who I still keep in touch with. What a place. When I came back to Chicago it was like everything was moving in slow motion
With the rape cases happening every now and then ,it will be hard even for us indians to stay patriotic. It’s disgusting and horrific for those women who have suffered. Sad to say I’m indian.
Unfortunately things are as bad in other countries as well. Especially US is actually extremely dangerous for women and children. However, you won't get the news in global news platforms as there is not as much stigma about rapes and they generally don't even mention it, just puts something like assault. In India, things have become worse, but at least there is more awareness and anger among the people.
Rape happens everywhere
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.
I came to India in 2019 to spend one year and never left. My experience here is very similar to his, although I live in Tamil Nadu. I just can`t picture myself anywhere else.
The REAL MAN...... HE is exploring india great mam 🇮🇳🙏🙏🙏
@@_natureisgod he is exploring India’s street boys more like it .
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
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.
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
I love the honesty with which he described his experience.
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 ❣
Wow.. Great guy.
Is not blind to the diversity and has compassion.
Amazing knowledge he has about life....❤️
Most of the people in world, india, Mumbai are good and gentle. Respect and salute to beautiful people of Mumbai from Karachi. Love to visit Mumbai sometime
the man is so grounded and humble
The only thing I got out of this video are goosebumps....... ❤ Kitna Mahan hai mera Desh.
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

@@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.
India is a mighty country, may God bless her and the wonderful people of India!
He has given life lessons 🙌🏻🙌🏻👏🏻
Being a non-indian, I believe that Indians are by far the only people who are dedicated whenever they do anything, they believe i hardship, they are very close to their humble roots, and they are very generous by heart.
He is very good friend of mine. Great Man
The fact that instead of judging and screaming at the guy who has to resort to sex work to get by, he lectured him on health and safety. He gave him tickets to expose him to something positive in his life goes to show what a great soul Glen is.
Wow, what a fantastic interview - many thanks! It made me want to see Mumbai!
Nice. He's roleplaying as "everybody else". I'm gonna do that too now when I go for a walk today in afternoon
Truly,a wise old man!
"Aim to be a working artist, not a star" is a wonderful mantra for so many different reasons.
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!!!
Lot of respect for Glenn, he is really a amazing personality..
I rode my bicycle across India. Love it there so much
The "are you lost?" Line was such a chuckle 😂
Wow amazing series.. brilliant idea..
As an Indian, I can confirm that this is true
Thank you for sharing your awareness to the world!
Giving a beggar two tickets to a 1960s Polish play about totalitarianism, and making it get through to him, is amazing! What a story.
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
How the hell would you know? That may be the most ignorant thing said in this whole comment section
Nice to see that the blue shirt guy.. understood india and he is wise in his wisdom ! 🎉
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!
that convo during the head massage is so lit
Educated, experienced and unbiased, loved it, maybe we will meet someday 😆
just scrolled into this video and ended up watching it all ... such an easy going way to take an interview
This has to be one of the most vapid conversations I've ever heard
This video is so beautiful, this shows the essence of Indian life ❤
Sir huge respect for you because you are expressing real feelings about india . Stay blessed stay happy
this is my hometown. it's an accurate, non judgmental description. Thank you for coming to Mumbai and starting your theater co.
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
Thank you sooo much for making this awesome video !😊
This video script can be used as a chapter for an English Lesson in CBSE books Lol.
Im an Aussie, grew up in India (was there from 2015-2020) and then moved to Singapore. What he say's is very similar, also that point of "I didnt come here to live amongst other foreigners" is so true. Whats the point of living in a new culture and not experiencing it?
Most indian cities are so safe , i can't tell you the horror you feel when you have to think about going outside after sunset in any foreign cities.
That tells indian police do work where needed
Delusional 😂😂
@@thewanderingartistswho you ? Yeah sure. .
@@Hellblazer0212 I'm your long lost dad, Indian police will work properly only under some pressure, majority of women from foreign countries have experienced some harrasment, there was a case where a tourist girl who was travelling solo in Rajasthan was being harassed by an Indian dude and he started wanking in front of her, police did nothing until the news spread like wildfire. Majority of indian men need to learn to respect women.
@@thewanderingartists The majority of American men need to learn not to rape and murder women.
@@thewanderingartists talk about south Africa, Mexico, Venezuela...
What a nice man. Worth while to watch this. Ty
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.
@@anna-marianunezvega1520 yeah, sometimes even warm weather feels you cold ❄️
@@anna-marianunezvega1520 Go home.
That is absolutely not true..
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..! 🇮🇳
Please interview expats from other cities too. Id love their perspective. Not just mumbaikars
This guy is his own biggest fan...!!
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.
@@shundred no he says he asked for the ice specifically. You ask for ice there, you don't ask for a big jug
He even explained straight afterwards that he didn’t trust the ice for his first few years there
The Australian gentleman, I found to a very interesting fellow, very open-minded and pleasant! You, on the other hand are doing a fantastic job giving those of us who live abroad a much better picture of India and its people ❤️🙏🏽🙏👍. Thank you very much indeed.
I’m from Himachal and went to Mumbai last month to attend a wedding….i was there for a week, i absolutely liked nothing about Mumbai…. People are rude and always angry for no apparent reason, the weather is horrible, the beaches are a shame as there’s garbage all around them, so many illegal encroachments and Bangladeshis living in Bandra….. absence of proper water, traffic and very noisy…
Silence in the hills is serene..Himachal is beautiful.
It really makes me feel good to know that there are such good humans with a heart of gold
Very very good information and review greetings from the Netherlands i have a weakness for India love it
Proud of being Indian 🇮🇳🇮🇳....un apologies to being toooo much proud of my ancient culture preserved like gold 🪙🥇
Mumbai is a fantastic place I have lived in Mumbai for one year from Singapore 🇸🇬
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.
