Was in India 20 yrs ago. Was TOTALLY chaotic. What I am seeing is the opposite. I am impressed so far, as you have been. Nice vid. Look forward to many more.
India is my absolute favourite destination. My first trip to India was back in 2016 and again in 2018. I spent 4 months backpacking and staying with families and NGO’s. My first impression of Delhi was like yours. The airport was clean, comfortable and duty free excellent. We took a taxi into town and the beginning of the drive from the airport was clean and well maintained. Then we hit the organized chaos of Delhi. Loved every moment of my time there and visited Chandi Chowk and Red Fort. I do prefer smaller places and really enjoyed McLeod Gang and Ram Jula. Great place to visit, very hospitable and kind people. Looking forward to going south next time.
HIndi is Islamie copy pasted language and same language of Mosq and Madrassssah. Special status for this Madrassah language needs to be ended. It is proof that BJP is a Islammmijihaaadhist party.
Almost 80 percent of indian cities town villages chaotic so ultimately they don't have choice. Its the reality that everywhere u visit in India is chaotic and stressful lol@@NitzVision
A trip to india is incomplete without a trip to Himalayas. World's most beautiful places : 1) Uttarakhand - Himachal - Kashmir - Ladakh - Fairy meadows - Sikkim of india 2) Switzerland (bernese oberland & Zermatt ) 3) Everest base camp & Annapurna base camp trek of Nepal 4) Transsiberian railway & murmansk of Russia 5) Lofoten (reinebringen) & Trolltunga , Kjeragbolten of norway 6) Antarktika (the mysterious continent of world)
9:25 if you knew the rate of data in India, you would definitely have opted for the local SIM. It's about 200-300 INR(3-5 USD) for a month, with data cap of 1 GB-3GB/day. The price listed in the nomad app there is 6-10 times the original rate, if I am not mistaken. Edit: Well, you did know the rate. But, it was sponsorship.
You either hate Delhi or love it! There is no middle ground. I’ve been 8 times and obviously i love Delhi. Paharganj is my favourite place to base myself. Can recommend casa central and natraj for budget accommodation and SAMS BAR for people watching while enjoying a beer or cocktail if you’re lucky enough to get a table overlooking MAIN BAZAAR.Usually you can only withdraw 10,000 rupees from atm. Exiting the airport is a lot less chaotic then it used to be now that autos aren’t allowed in.My best advice is to always agree on a price before proceeding further and dont get tricked by auto drivers to go via any market or store. Offer them an extra 50 rupees not to take you [thats usually how much they get paid to bring a tourist there] that will save you time and money.And 50 rupees is the usual price for auto to a nearby place. NEVER EVER TELL ANYONE ITS YOUR FIRST TIME THERE!To save offending anyone just say thankyou. Danyvaad is used when addressing Hindus. Shukriya for muslims. But thankyou is pretty much universal as well as placing your hand on your heart,that shows appreciation! As for the food and drink. Always use bottled water,even for brushing teeth.Avoid ice cubes!Check out the oil before buying deep fried food. If it resembles sump oil from a car engine dont eat there. Keep an open mind,don’t judge. You will see things you probably wish you didnt. Accept that other peoples lives are different from ours. Never believe that your booked hotel is very bad or burnt down etc. My usual response is’ my friend/husband is waiting there for me’ As for must have food items Chole Bhatura,Kathi rolls and garlic cheese naan are must haves! Dahl makhani is rich and my favourite Dahl Enjoy Delhi. I wish i was there. Sundar Bharat!
@PradhanmantriBruhh not offensive. I like the chaos of main bazaar, the shopping, the food and I'm not afraid to say NO to people trying to sell me something or go to THEIR SHOP! I understand that's their way to earn so I try my best to be nice but firm. It's handy to the airport and the metro. Delhi's rail system is great! Everyone has a different opinion but I like it there.

Shocked how calm and easy everything was for you. I arrived in Delhi 2 weeks ago at 2am and it was the worst arrival in a country I've ever experienced. Immigration officer literally went to sleep as I approached the desk, was hassled by countless taxi drivers before using the prepay booth and my "close to airport" hotel didnt exist. So after 40 mins going in circles in the taxi, I spent 4 hours sat outside the airport waiting for my friends who were already here to wake up and help.
Touching the plane for luck is such a unique tradition! The stress of final calls is real, but you made it through with style. Excited to see your hotel and the first bites of Indian cuisine!
This video gave me a great shock. As a Chinese, many of my impressions of India came from the BBC documentary "Welcome to India" many years ago. Without this video, I might not have known that there are such modern places in India.
India is moving towards Capitalism. Within the next 10 years or so things would change rapidly. If everything goes perfectly Mumbai could become the future New York or maybe close to it. True the poor would slowly get crushed under this massive development push and crimes too would go up as people fight for survival but again that's the only way this country could make any real progress.
Nomad is quite expensive , if you buy sim in India it costs like less 4$ which gives 2 GB per day data for 30 days and if you exhaust 2 GB internet still works but on slowere speed. You can top in 2-3 $ for 100 GB more
Here are some nice organized areas in Delhi. (only sharing the ones I visited) 1. Connaught Place 2. Cyber city Gurgaon (cuberhub) 3. Greater Noida 4. South Extention 2 5. Model town Gurgaon and Noida are generally very developed, I'm sure I'm missing many places hopefully someone will add them.
@@namalum420 Why the above mentioned places aren't the real India? Why does everyone want to stay unorganised and chaotic, and when a place becomes developed and good, you discredit them.
@@studyafa7159 they see nice and organized places in their own country. They come to see filth dirt disorganized foul smelling places. They want to see vendors selling Chole bhature using bare hands and to add additional flavor wiping his nose before serving😝😝
Hi Ken I live in Malaysia for over 6 years but I can tell you for sure- Indian food is awesome. You cannot get anything close to it in Malaysia! You should try masala dosa in Sagar Ratna in Defence colony, Chole Bhature in Haldirams (anywhere close to you) they are all over. You should try dal makhni with chicken biryani (pour your dal over chicken biryani- tastes like heaven!!!) in Sagars (not Sagar Ratna) in Defence colony. Sagar Ratna is vegetarian restaurant and Sagar is non-vegetarian restaurant in Defence colony New Delhi
Explore States like himachal, Uttarakhand, entire north east, Union territories jammu and kashmir, ladakh, Andaman and Nicobar islands... avoid visiting States where temperature are high at this time, like rajasthan, rajasthan is definitely very beautiful but it's not worth visiting in summer.
He comes from a cold climate nation (European), so he probably wants the opposite. People in moderate and cooler climate nations prefer beaches, deserts, tropical areas, etc during summers. Sunscreen and AC and they are set.
What an amazing first impression of Dehli, lndia. Everything looks pretty great ! Nice Metro, good hotel room and glad to hear you enjoyed your first meal there. Thanks for sharing this awesome video, Ken. Well, happy exploring lndia. Looking forward to your next episode of your India series.
Saying Urdu is just as much an Indian language as Hindi is a bit disingenuous. Urdu wasn't born in India, it was merely "assembled" in India. Most pure-Urdu words are existing Arabic/Persian/Turkic words, including the word "Shukriya" which is an Arabic word.
@@yerajoker3524Urdu is very much an Indian language. And no, most of the words in Urdu are not loan words from Arabic/Persian/Turkish. Most of the words are from a language colloquially called Hindustani. Loan words make up barely 20-25% of Urdu vocabulary, rest all of the words are from Hindustani (Hindi and Urdu both originate from Hindustani). Shukriya is an Urdu word, not arabic. The arabic equivalent will be “shukran”.
@@hemantsahuraj You used two Urdu words in your comment, "Nawab" and "Urdu". "Nawab" is borrowed from Persian, "Urdu" is borrowed from Turkic languages. "Pure" Urdu is a hodge podge of Persian-Arabic-Turkic languages. Hence what I said, Urdu didn't originate in India, it is merely assembled in India.
@@yerajoker3524 By that logic English is not from UK beacuse it has loan words from Germanic, latin and other european languages. Urdu is an Indian language, taking some words from other languages dosn't make it foreign language. Urdu 75-80 % vocabulary is similar to Hindi. This both languages are successor of Hinduatani language.
Shukriya comes from root word Shukran, Arabic origin, meaning Thank you. Dhanyavad comes from root word Dhanya (gratefulness) + vaad (talk, exchange), origin Sanskrit, also meaning Thank you, or I am grateful to you - to be precise. Glad you enjoyed Delhi.
Wow Ken! U r travelling to the largest populated country in the world. Will b following u n see wat u hve in store for us. Indian food is one of my favourites. Safe exploring Ken! 🙏👍😍
I just subscribed to your channel. It's very informative, entertaining and interesting to see the reality in different countries. Kudos to your work. I like it. 💯😎❤️💯
I haven’t watched this video yet because I’m a brand new subscriber and I’ve just started watching your visits to China. But I wanted to tell you that I absolutely love watching your videos because you are so enthusiastic and so delightful that I just had to tell you. You would be so much fun to go on a trip with because you’re so spontaneous and you don’t seem to get really stressed about things. Anyway, I am so looking forward to watching all of your adventures! ❤
Thanks Ken for this great video which changed my perceptions of India. I am very curious of Indian village life as well, is it possible you will go there? Love India from Taiwan, China.
European media is always against India, as they couldn't digest a fast moving economy, which already has overtaken many European countries in economical growth. Only your Germany is ahead of us and probably by 2027 we will over take Germany as well. India is a beautiful country with many diverse people living in one umbrella. Welcome to India brother.
@freefree1219 You will be fried alive in the plains during Apr-June because these are the hottest months. Visit Waynad, Munnar or Himalayan hill stations like Shimla, Srinagar, Ladakh, Sikkim, Meghalaya etc if you are going to come in the summer season.
China is watching us guys 👀 I'm too stun to read few positive comment from china 🇨🇳 about india. This is astonishing to me. Lets get along well India 🇮🇳 🤝 china 🇨🇳🙏🫂.
21:23 Though 'Dhanyavad' and 'Shukriya' both mean thank you but Dhanyavad is a Hindi word and Shukriya is an Urdu word which is generally used in Pakistan. You can use any word people will understand.
1) India can be chaotic at some places 😅 But like we say, there's a harmony in Chaos here. You get used to it & love it later on. 2) India is a developing country. So not every place will be same. But India is not like any other country of this world. 3) Do visit Historical places & temples of India. You gonna love it. 4) Indian spicy doesn't mean Chilli hot. If you eat at good places, NOTHING GONNA HAPPEN ✌️ 5) Do visit places like Kerala, Uttrakhand, Himachal Pradesh, Rajasthan, Kashmir etc.. 6) You get, what you pay for here. India has things for all kinds of budgets. If you want everything Cheap, then you won't get that quality too 😅 Just accept everything with OPEN MIND, and you will be fine ✌️
imagine trying to sleep on a flight and ken is yapping on (talking constantly in british slang) joking ken i love your videos i just felyt hilarious for the guy
China is great beautiful developed clean modern educated country I hope in future we have good relations with you china can help us in infrastructure Anyway western democracy not working here
Green color of auto (tuk tuk) represents that they're running on CNG and not petrol or diesel. Nowadays, electric autos also use green or blue color, they can be recognized by green number plates.

I have been to Delhi recently and tit has two sides quite contrasting to each other. On one side there is New Delhi which looks modern and clean beyond my imagination while on the other side there is Old Delhi which is chaotic, congested and filthy. Overall I loved my stay there visiting some historic monuments, shopping in Chadani chowk. The Delhi metro is the one thing that amazes me the most
Why did you pay ₹200 for the metro ticket? It is supposed to be only ₹20 from Airport to Aerocity. Did he scam you or what? You should definitely reach out to dmrc helpline.
@@TomW-ks3gp It depends on the place that you visited. You must have visited the golden triangle (Delhi, Agra, Varanasi, Jaipur). You should have visited Kerala, Goa, etc.
Your experiences in Sri Lanka & Malaysia will come in good stead especially we comes to Indian cuisines. Been a while since i got to checkout your adventure. Stay safe and take care our there!.. Cheers mate!
some suggestions for you : Delhi Aerocity does not have tuktuks but they can drop of at the outer boundary areas of aerocity. visit areas in south Delhi extension where most of the elite areas are located. try to eat plain tawa roti with simple curries and salads. only drink fresh juices. Visit the select city mall in Saket area. visit malls in Gurugram. night life in Saket area or in most of the south Delhi extension suburbs. west Delhi is mostly punjabi population which rich food and local shoppings but can be chaotic. Dont travel during office hours because traffic can be an issue during those hours. old Delhi or Chandni chowk area has many local authentic shops for cloths or business related items. since your in Aerocity, try to visit roseate hotel which has a great art inside. Try to communicate with locals in main areas to get getter advice and places. Great video and we need more of such videos to break the stereotype. Thank you.

Welcome to India, Ken! Hope you experience the beauty and the uniqueness of our motherland from Kashmir to Kanyakumari and Gujarat to Arunachal Pradesh. Getting to see different , beautiful and unique places every 150 km is exciting! Stay safe bro!
I concur with your notion. Most of the media channels selectively show the bad side of India. Additionally, many of those videos are old and some of those are even from Bangladesh and Pakistan. Negativity sells more.
India has many up scaled,clean and rich neighborhoods like this too, but….may be just less than 30%, the majority over 70% are dirty,chaotic, over populated, poor areas (not counting the slums).
Hallo Ken, 🙏Namahste Welcome to India. Hope you're soaking in all the beauty, color and culture Bharat has to offer. Enjoy every moment of your stay! I came across your channel for the first time. I'm from Gujarat, I like your vlog and looking forward to seeing your adventures unfold. Safe travels and happy exploring!
Nice 1st day experience and impressions in Delhi, India, Ken... Excited to see your next videos. I'd been to Delhi only once like 20 yrs back and I'm impressed with Delhi's "new" look now. Pls try Paneer dishes while you're there... Tks for sharing your travels, as always..😊

Dhanyawad is most formal and appropriate in Hindi.
Dhanyawad is Hindi, shukriya is Urdu. In India you can use either
Both are equally usable.
Shukriya and Dhanyawad both are formal...but Dhanyawad being a longer word could be hard to say for first timers.

Good video. This is my 1st video of yours. You explain well & speak well. Seems like you are apt in making videos. Liked watching.
Visit Assam & other northeastern states, known as paradise unexplored,u will definitely love . Welcome to India, thank u for visiting.
Unfortunately no highways in upper Assam😅
@@subhasishborkotoky8196They are building highways there now as we speak. Isnt that right?
Touching the plane for luck is such a unique tradition! The stress of final calls is real, but you made it through with style. Excited to see your hotel and the first bites of Indian cuisine!
You are most welcome in India friend. Have a safe and great journey ❤️
This video gave me a great shock. As a Chinese, many of my impressions of India came from the BBC documentary "Welcome to India" many years ago. Without this video, I might not have known that there are such modern places in India.
Indian very friendly bro....India always good country brother
We r growing, and we love china❤, super modern country
@@M.Praveen....8220I have always wanted to try pani puri, but there are few Indian restaurants in China😥

So different from my experience back in 2006 in Delhi. India has progressed so much!
Ofc because India is a developing nation it changes every day
You must have visited Old Delhi.
There's a world of difference between old Delhi and New Delhi.
Visit again in 2032 and have your mind blown🎉
India is moving towards Capitalism. Within the next 10 years or so things would change rapidly. If everything goes perfectly Mumbai could become the future New York or maybe close to it. True the poor would slowly get crushed under this massive development push and crimes too would go up as people fight for survival but again that's the only way this country could make any real progress.
21:33 both sukriya and dhanyabad are same and they are the synonym of thank you
Nomad is quite expensive , if you buy sim in India it costs like less 4$ which gives 2 GB per day data for 30 days and if you exhaust 2 GB internet still works but on slowere speed. You can top in 2-3 $ for 100 GB more
Here are some nice organized areas in Delhi. (only sharing the ones I visited)
1. Connaught Place
2. Cyber city Gurgaon (cuberhub)
3. Greater Noida
4. South Extention 2
5. Model town
Gurgaon and Noida are generally very developed, I'm sure I'm missing many places hopefully someone will add them.
he needs to see real india and that would be Sarojini Nagar Market, Karol bagh paharganj nizamuudin areas and also purani dilli.
@@namalum420 That is Muslim india not real India
@@namalum420 Why the above mentioned places aren't the real India?
Why does everyone want to stay unorganised and chaotic, and when a place becomes developed and good, you discredit them.
Greater Noida , Noida , gurgaon are quite organised and clean and safe areas
@@studyafa7159 they see nice and organized places in their own country. They come to see filth dirt disorganized foul smelling places. They want to see vendors selling Chole bhature using bare hands and to add additional flavor wiping his nose before serving😝😝
Hi Ken I live in Malaysia for over 6 years but I can tell you for sure- Indian food is awesome. You cannot get anything close to it in Malaysia! You should try masala dosa in Sagar Ratna in Defence colony, Chole Bhature in Haldirams (anywhere close to you) they are all over. You should try dal makhni with chicken biryani (pour your dal over chicken biryani- tastes like heaven!!!) in Sagars (not Sagar Ratna) in Defence colony. Sagar Ratna is vegetarian restaurant and Sagar is non-vegetarian restaurant in Defence colony New Delhi
i felt msia indian & mamak food better lot better. no right or wrong. just preference.
Dal over chicken biryani????😵💫😵💫 I’m scared
Bikanervala has better Chole Bhature than Haldiram's.
@@cuckoonut1208I agree its been six years and i forgot which one. But my favourite is Kangra’s at Lajpat Nagar-IV dont know if he is still there
धन्यवाद (Dhanyavaad) is a hindi word, native language of India, and shukriya is a urdu word which developed in india a mixture of hindi and arabic
Explore States like himachal, Uttarakhand, entire north east, Union territories jammu and kashmir, ladakh, Andaman and Nicobar islands... avoid visiting States where temperature are high at this time, like rajasthan, rajasthan is definitely very beautiful but it's not worth visiting in summer.
J&k especially
Good recommendation sis❤
He comes from a cold climate nation (European), so he probably wants the opposite. People in moderate and cooler climate nations prefer beaches, deserts, tropical areas, etc during summers. Sunscreen and AC and they are set.
No matter how much you recommend but they will only visit paharganj and dharavi🤣

hi ken, good to see your vlog, thanks for sharing this video and i got an idea now were to go when i arrive delhi.visiting india by next week.
How is your experience then?
@@SatishPatil-nm1fw great and challenging but i love it. looking forward to again .
@@LanMzy What is this foreigners obsession with Delhi?
Avoid the golden triangle. Visit Kerala, Goa, Shimla, Dharamshala, Coorg, etc. first.
@@matgranger5061 hi, its not an obsession, shall we say it curiosity?. but now i know, i should visit kerala next time 😀
What an amazing first impression of Dehli, lndia. Everything looks pretty great ! Nice Metro, good hotel room and glad to hear you enjoyed your first meal there. Thanks for sharing this awesome video, Ken. Well, happy exploring lndia. Looking forward to your next episode of your India series.

Thank you dear, You shaw reality of India
Dhanyawad is Hindi word and shukriya is Urdu word and meaning is same like thank you .. Both languages originated in India 😊🇮🇳❤
Saying Urdu is just as much an Indian language as Hindi is a bit disingenuous.
Urdu wasn't born in India, it was merely "assembled" in India.
Most pure-Urdu words are existing Arabic/Persian/Turkic words, including the word "Shukriya" which is an Arabic word.
@@yerajoker3524Urdu is very much an Indian language. And no, most of the words in Urdu are not loan words from Arabic/Persian/Turkish. Most of the words are from a language colloquially called Hindustani. Loan words make up barely 20-25% of Urdu vocabulary, rest all of the words are from Hindustani (Hindi and Urdu both originate from Hindustani). Shukriya is an Urdu word, not arabic. The arabic equivalent will be “shukran”.
@@yerajoker3524 Urdu originated from City of Nawab called Lucknow in uttar Pradesh State of India
@@hemantsahuraj You used two Urdu words in your comment, "Nawab" and "Urdu".
"Nawab" is borrowed from Persian, "Urdu" is borrowed from Turkic languages. "Pure" Urdu is a hodge podge of Persian-Arabic-Turkic languages.
Hence what I said, Urdu didn't originate in India, it is merely assembled in India.
@@yerajoker3524 By that logic English is not from UK beacuse it has loan words from Germanic, latin and other european languages. Urdu is an Indian language, taking some words from other languages dosn't make it foreign language. Urdu 75-80 % vocabulary is similar to Hindi. This both languages are successor of Hinduatani language.
Welcome to India bud. Have a great journey. 🙏💐
Shukriya comes from root word Shukran, Arabic origin, meaning Thank you.
Dhanyavad comes from root word Dhanya (gratefulness) + vaad (talk, exchange), origin Sanskrit, also meaning Thank you, or I am grateful to you - to be precise.
Glad you enjoyed Delhi.
Shows the rich culture of India.
Love from India,
You can say shukriya and dhanyvad both for thanks .
Hey Ken. I have been watching your videos for 3 years! Hope you have a good time in India. :)
Thank you 🙏
Welcome to India Bro...

Hello Ken make sure you visit the South part of India too especially the huge temples and monuments. Welcome to India ❤
Dhanyawad is purely Hindi word

Shukriya is an Urdu word which normally spoken in Pakistan & some part of India as well
🙏🇮🇳 It's Also Our Indian Bengali Culture
What a great experience on that flight! the person in the next seat was very happy to hear talking to yourself all freaking flight
Yeah I talked for 5 minutes on a 4.5 hours flight, how bad huh
This video is really helpful for me to visit first time India ❤❤❤
I haven’t watched this video yet because I’m a brand new subscriber and I’ve just started watching your visits to China. But I wanted to tell you that I absolutely love watching your videos because you are so enthusiastic and so delightful that I just had to tell you. You would be so much fun to go on a trip with because you’re so spontaneous and you don’t seem to get really stressed about things. Anyway, I am so looking forward to watching all of your adventures! ❤

European media is always against India, as they couldn't digest a fast moving economy, which already has overtaken many European countries in economical growth. Only your Germany is ahead of us and probably by 2027 we will over take Germany as well. India is a beautiful country with many diverse people living in one umbrella. Welcome to India brother.
Hi Ken, am planning to go India also fist time next month. Your video comes in handy. Thanks for sharing!
@freefree1219 You will be fried alive in the plains during Apr-June because these are the hottest months.
Visit Waynad, Munnar or Himalayan hill stations like Shimla, Srinagar, Ladakh, Sikkim, Meghalaya etc if you are going to come in the summer season.

21:23 Though 'Dhanyavad' and 'Shukriya' both mean thank you but Dhanyavad is a Hindi word and Shukriya is an Urdu word which is generally used in Pakistan.
You can use any word people will understand.
Urdu is Indian language. Common yarr.. Apna culture kisi aur k nam kyun kr dete ho tum log..
1) India can be chaotic at some places 😅 But like we say, there's a harmony in Chaos here. You get used to it & love it later on.
2) India is a developing country. So not every place will be same. But India is not like any other country of this world.
3) Do visit Historical places & temples of India. You gonna love it.
4) Indian spicy doesn't mean Chilli hot. If you eat at good places, NOTHING GONNA HAPPEN ✌️
5) Do visit places like Kerala, Uttrakhand, Himachal Pradesh, Rajasthan, Kashmir etc..
6) You get, what you pay for here.
India has things for all kinds of budgets. If you want everything Cheap, then you won't get that quality too 😅
Just accept everything with OPEN MIND, and you will be fine ✌️

I have been to Delhi recently and tit has two sides quite contrasting to each other. On one side there is New Delhi which looks modern and clean beyond my imagination while on the other side there is Old Delhi which is chaotic, congested and filthy. Overall I loved my stay there visiting some historic monuments, shopping in Chadani chowk. The Delhi metro is the one thing that amazes me the most
Why did you pay ₹200 for the metro ticket? It is supposed to be only ₹20 from Airport to Aerocity. Did he scam you or what? You should definitely reach out to dmrc helpline.
whi main soch rha tha

So 'shukriya' is Urdu(one of Indian languages) way of thanking someone whereas 'Namaste' is the Hindi way of saying hello.
bhai namaste??😃
Namaste nahi dhanyavaad

Always want to go India, thanks for sharing your experience Ken 👍👍🤓🤓
Welcome to India ❤
some suggestions for you : Delhi Aerocity does not have tuktuks but they can drop of at the outer boundary areas of aerocity. visit areas in south Delhi extension where most of the elite areas are located. try to eat plain tawa roti with simple curries and salads. only drink fresh juices. Visit the select city mall in Saket area. visit malls in Gurugram. night life in Saket area or in most of the south Delhi extension suburbs. west Delhi is mostly punjabi population which rich food and local shoppings but can be chaotic. Dont travel during office hours because traffic can be an issue during those hours. old Delhi or Chandni chowk area has many local authentic shops for cloths or business related items. since your in Aerocity, try to visit roseate hotel which has a great art inside. Try to communicate with locals in main areas to get getter advice and places. Great video and we need more of such videos to break the stereotype. Thank you.
