  • Mumbai is the most expensive city in India and is known as the City of dreams. In this video, we will explore the contrast between The Taj Mahal Palace, a five-star, luxury hotel, and Dharavi, Asia's biggest slum. For us, it feels like Mumbai has a bridge between two worlds where the rich and poor live side by side 🇮🇳
    If it’s your first time in Mumbai, you can't help but notice the extreme divide between the rich and the poor. But, somehow, it's part of India's reality.

    We hope this video can inspire you to bookmark all the highlights of Mumbai 👍:
    1) THE TAJ MAHAL PALACE
    We highly recommend you stay at the most iconic hotel in India, The Taj Mahal Palace with a sea view. It's only a 5 min. walk to Mumbai's main attraction, the Gateway of India.
    2) GATEWAY TO INDIA:
    The Gateway appears to be the second most photographed attraction in India. You might catch the light and sound show on the weekends! It's a very happening place next to Mumbai harbor.
    3) THE SEA LOUNGE AT THE TAJ MAHAL PALACE
    Make sure to visit the Sea Lounge at The Taj Mahal Palace, Mumbai, famous for its world-class
    afternoon tea, live piano music, and stunning sea views. A dress code is required, and they don't do "open footwear" for men.
    4) LEOPOLD CAFE:
    Leopold Cafe was among the target of the Mumbai Terror Attack 2008 along with The Taj Mahal Palace. Today, the cafe is standing strong, full of life, beers, food, and tourists! They serve the best spicy chicken I've had in India!
    5) DHARAVI SLUM TOUR
    Popular as Asia's largest slum, Dharavi, and the heart of Mumbai, and home to more than 1 million people. If you've seen Slumdog Millionaire, the movie was filmed here. Dharavi is not what you think. It's a very hardworking slum and known for its productivity.
    6) DHOBI GHAT SLUM TOUR
    The world's largest outdoor laundry, Dhobi Ghat is a very popular attraction. It's a place where people and hotels bring dirty clothes from all over Mumbai. Another working slum and surprisingly colorful!

    Clearly shows the diversity of India in just one city. How you can experience the real luxury with heritage property and the Asia’s biggest slums with the same old traditions and culture. It was great pleasure in showing you around guys. Looking forward to seeing you again one day to experience more in India together. ❤🇮🇳🙏

    Wow, thanks for bringing us along on your journey in Mumbai. Not what I thought about a slum! These people in the slum are working really hard for their $! What a light, fun, and informative way on such serious topics. I learned so much about India! And you and your wife did handle it well for not being allowed to record in that expensive hotel! On top of that. You were lucky to have Sid as your guide, and I like his pink penguin bag! Funny scene. I really love how you cover the contrast. Your final thoughts on the hotel and visiting the guest house were awesome! Thank you!

    One film which will tell you about the Taj Mumbai attack is Telugu film Major with Adivi Shesh as Major Unni Krishnan.
    Then there is a suspense thriller film of Adivi Shesh and Regina Cassandra called Evaru.
    Also another great Telugu film is Awe that film is almost as great as Everything Everywhere All at Once.
    Recently I saw another Telugu thriller film called Hello Meera. I am addicted to cinema from 4 South Indian states of India.

    Wow you guys ballin' at that hotel. LOL. I recently watched a series on that particular Dharavi leather brand. It was a wonderful story of a man and his adult son that run that brand from being dirt poor and now they are well off. That's cool that you bought a man purse from them. 🤣 The biriyani at the hotel buffet looked bomb! I'd be annoyed that I would not be able to film after paying all that money though. Mahalo for showing us Mumbai, Sean and Nhi! It was an awesome journey!

And yes, I was a little irked when I was told I couldn't record at that hotel! Esp with the money we spent, but we still had a great time and it was quite the experience for us! And the buffet and biriyani was amazing!! It was the most expensive buffet there but still cheap compared to Hawaii. Thanks for watching and showing us your Vietnam series. Gotta get outside of Hawaii too👍🤙🇮🇳😋

    Aloha Sean and Nhi!! First of all we gotta say we are so happy they didn't confiscate any of your cameras or equipment at the Taj Mahal Palace Hotel. We were so scared for a moment for you two. Traveling to other countries and vlogging can be hard sometimes but hey you and Nhi made it happen despite the hiccups. It was amazing to see the differences and it really makes one sit back and process that so many people live in Dharavi with soooo much less than we're used to on a day to day basis. We could not believe the cost of getting a room in Dharavi per night!! Question was the restroom/shower community style in that guest house?? There were some parts of Dharavi that reminded us of the Philippines and the provinces there but one thing is true...the people have great spirits, work hard, and can still smile despite the difficulties!! Thank you for bringing us along with you two on this adventure!!
    P.S. We agree we would've taken everything from the hotel too...esp for $500/night...you technically already paid for it!! LOL

    • @SeanKaleponi
      @SeanKaleponi  Рік тому +2

      Aloha Michelle and Jose!! Yes, I'm glad too but I don't think they would have done anything besides tell me again but I didn't wanna chance it. And vlogging in other countries is tough just due to the time constraints and the nature of the country but its a fun challenge!:) and yes, I feel very fortunate and the people in India work really hard and not under the best conditions. I really do wanna go to the Phillipines. When was the last time you were there? And I never saw the showers in the community guest house but everything else wasn't too bad.. and thanks for your encouraging words about the people. I def left feeling humble and grateful!! Mahalo for watching the video🇮🇳👍🤙

    Aloha Sean and Nhi 👋 That was very fascinating, I’m glad you had a sneaky camera 🎥 to show us the hotel. The diversity of India from rich to poor is there , right in front of you. There seemed to be lots of people working to earn a dollar. As always another great vid both of you put together.
    There is a question I have , did you survive India without getting sick ? That would be my number 1 thought if I went there.
    Cheers Rod 🤙

And yes, I love the hustle and bustle in India. They do work hard. We appreciate your support Rod!:) and no sickness or food poisoning in India. I think everyone who warned me about the food in India, never traveled to a 3rd world country before because all the foods we had were good and didn't affect our all day travels. Hope all is well and have a good rest of your week!🇮🇳🤙👍😋

    Sean. Using Bach, Mozart, and Wagner for your background music. You got the classic taste. Every time I visited India, I felt bad because of the polarized classes. I stayed at LeeLa Palace, and just like where you stayed, it was poor right outside of the hotel. It was not easy for me to enjoy the 5 star hotel while the kids outside suffered much. Loved your city erage of the slum and saw what you went through to get the hotel taped. One last thing. I no longer go to any restaurant requiring me to wear a jacket😂 That is right. No jacket required. No food will make me dress up unless it is biz related or a special event. Did you get to see any cobra?

      Aloha Min C!! Always good hearing from you and I enjoy your stories of India. I hope the kids don't suffer outside because the kids in Dharavi looked like they were having fun! And lots of engineering there too! And yeah, that was a lot to go through with the hotel. Not a fan of dressing up either and long jackets for me too. I'll go right to the street food if I have too. And yes, I saw the cobras in Jaipur. So awesome🤙😋👍🇮🇳🐍

    Great video, you make some awesome stuff. I don't understand the obsession with going after vloggers for filming. If you were a terrorist or a spy, you would film everything secretly and easily, it's 2023, they're morons. I feel like some dumb a** security firm is making money telling casinos, hotels and other organizations this as part of their security theater. I really wonder how much good those metal detectors and security guards would do if something like that ever happened again? Were the guys out there even armed? If they're not, it's just dumb security theater again. Especially considering this will probably NEVER happen again...there.

But I think they have way more Police right there outside at the Border so Police could respond and assist. And I don't understand the whole vlogging thing too. There's all kinds of cameras and heck, we pay to stay there but I agree with you. There might be some firm making money off of it. Thanks for watching🇮🇳🤙😋
