@@SeanandEmily mam there r bunch of places likes this in india. india is world in itself , to deserts , mountains , snows , lush green . everything. darjelling , gangtok , shillong , himachal pradesh , uttrakhand , kerla , banglore there r countless.......
21:05 Those traffic lights are operational and turn green/ red only in heavy traffic situations. In light traffic condition they kept it blinking yellow that means everyone can go but cross cautiously.
A humble request every traveller is different ,let them have their own experiences and i urge everyone to not compare with any other ! especially to sean and emily ! You do you please 🙏
I am too in India ,stuck in snowfall in Himachal Pradesh, India due to traffic jam , but still enjoying hot soups on 1 january return to Dubai . Both of you take care 🎉
Take care out there in the snow! Must be amazing to see especially with the snow 😊. We hope to get up there too someday. Have a safe trip back to Dubai 😎💪🏻
Best Commentator Award Goes To Emily: People are so lovely here, This Honda couldn’t be any closer to us though it's like he's trying to get on the Bike 🤣😂🤣😂
@@SeanandEmilythat's nothing. If you ride in Bengaluru (capital of Karnataka). Your bike mirrors would be touching other bikes' mirrors while riding in traffic and people wouldn't even bother or acknowledge it.

Went to Panjim and Goa on a tour in 2022. Thanks for the memories. Also Sean said "If I ever get outta here!" when he was getting out of a junction which started me singing the Wings song so thanks for that memory too. Loving the journey through India. Well done you two!! 😄
Hi Craig, awesome! Happy to bring back the good memories. Haha we have been know to break out into song off camera ....not sure the channel is ready for Sean's singing lol. Thanks very much, great to hear you are enjoying it here's the playlist so far: ua-cam.com/play/PLl_mRzVHVQ0wJPbyexi3mOgrm1tK3x-CL.html&si=HNx026NTXCmM6lwD
Stumbled upon this channel by pure luck. The best vlog by far in my opinion. Feels like I’m part of the trip with you. Your recipe is working a charm Emily and Sean. I have a ton of videos from you up I need to catch up on.
Hi Henry! So happy you have found our channel and thanks so much for your kind words of encouragement 😊🙏🏻. We have lots of playlists waiting for you and if you watch them from the playlist they will play in order (otherwise UA-cam tends to mix them up). Also the routes can usually be found pinned in the comments section or in the descriptions (need to add them to this current series). Thanks again and looking forwards to hearing from you again 😎👍🏻 Sean and Emily
Great video again today. Panaji was a nice find and a great little stop for breakfast. Have you ever seen more scooters in your life??? I love sharing travels with Sean and Emily. Well done my lovely friends. Looking forward to the next video of INDIA.
Hi Jim, yeah Panaji was great -we actually came to this area specially to visit it so that's why we weren't too concerned about the naff beach the night before. It's amazing how many two wheelers there are here and its really nice to see all the bike repair shops along the way. Thanks again for your kind words and the next one should be out this afternoon.
I know im starting to sound like a broken record, but once again I would like to express my gratitude for another epic video. The way you manage to shoot your surroundings and provide commentary is very lovely! I am always looking forward to another one of your videos. Thanks 😊
This is the sort of broken record that we can embrace 😉 Your thoughtful comments of appreciation are always well received 😊🙏. Next one should be out this afternoon ...catch you later 👍
Sean and Emily : Thank you for another superb vlog. I live in Ireland so also want to thank you for now you portrayed and described our country in all its beauty. We love your content and will continue to follow your journeys. I wish you a Happy and prosperous New Year and hopefully we see you back in Ireland in the near future. Joe McBride, Co. Antrim.
Hi Joe, you’re very welcome and we spot you taking the time to leave a comment 😊🙏🏻. Ireland was a very special trip and we thoroughly enjoyed every second of it. Wishing you all the best for 2025 as well and hopefully we will return to Ireland soon 😎👍🏻🍻
Really a lovely town - could probably stayed a night there too. Coffee there was the best one we had on the whole trip! - we were tempted to go back there just for the coffee on the way back to Mumbai 😆
Hi Sean and Emily That's one thing we share in common..... I love my coffee . I do drink tea . Mainly because my girlfriend will only drink that and it's easier to just say yes to a cup o tea when she is making . Another great video 👍😀
It's a familiar moment that can be enjoyed anywhere in the world 😊 - cant drink it all day otherwise we would be wired - so tea is good for the rest of the day 😁 Thanks -glad you liked it!
it is incredible how close the vehicles get to each other! and not nice when you feel boxed in. This town was really pretty though and its somewhere we probably should have stayed the night before. 😎👍
This video showed the first place that I would visit which is the coffee shop :) The buildings clearly have a Portuguese influence but seem to lack tiles which seem to be everywhere in Portugal. Looking forward to seeing the beaches that many people rave about. I bet they are not as good as the beaches you saw on the NC500 but you would not need a wetsuit to go for a dip.
Never before have we been so happy to find a coffee shop!! Yeah you are right not enough tiles lol but the colours and balconies really did remind us of Lisbon. Some nice beaches coming up but as you say the beaches on the NC500 take some beating for shear rawness and untouched beauty (we loved Scotland!!)
Loved your vlogs. Very adventurous to drive across India on a bike. I Hope you're having a great time actually looking at some local towns within the interiors of India. Thank you guys for all your hard work and effort. It definitely will stay as an epic adventure in your lives. Enjoy and stay safe. Wonderful.
Hey Sean & Emily, Nice to see you'll exploring a bit of Goa. From what I could see, the area you were riding around in is known as Fontainhas, which is known for its Portuguese architecture. A lot of the people working in Goa are migrants from Kartanaka esp and Maharashtra. Ride safe & tc.
Hi, yeah that’s right! We are really enjoying riding through villages without a plan. It’s great to experience this area 😊 Yeah one can really see the Portuguese influence -fascinating. Thanks for watching 😎👍🏻
Hi Sean and Emily, another enjoyable video, I think you picked a good cafe for a coffee and bite to eat, it looks like a lot of places out there like cash only, does that include the local people have to pay by cash or just visitors from other countries? . Look forward to the next video, Best wishes from Roy in England 😊.
Hi Roy, thanks very much -always nice to hear you enjoyed the video. This Cafe was fantastic - might actually go down in the top 10 coffees of all time 😊 The local people use an electronic payment system on their phones (UPI) but foreigners need to link this with their passport to enable the use of a foreign bank and there are only certain places that can do this (like at the airport), as we didn't know about it until our credit cards were declined we have had to withdraw cash instead (fortunately our bank cards work here). The larger hotels do have separate card readers for foreign cards so it is possible just not very common. Thanks Roy, next one out this afternoon 😎👍
At first, it is not easy to ride a motorbike in India. I started fifteen years ago by renting Honda Heros without brakes and with slick tires in Goa. But I learned a few things: First of all, in India as elsewhere, the only protection for the motorcyclist is constant attention. Second, you should absolutely avoid riding at night. However, it is not as dangerous as many people imagine because the average speed is much lower than in Europe, for example. And with a little practice, it is a lot of fun, and allows you to see the country much better. I particularly remember my best experience. It was on a RE Bullet 500 between Kochi and Trivandrum in Kerala, passing through small roads with very little traffic along the coast.Happy riding
True that! There’s not a moment one can switch off -100% attention needed. It is indeed a lot of fun, however there’s lots of new cars and vehicles with high top speeds doing crazy overtaking manoeuvres and pushing their way through traffic which is accounting for high accident rates. Sounds like you had a great time and some fantastic rides 😎💪🏻
We're happy to engage with our viewers! 😊 haha you should read the comments on our Norway Vlogs or the Scotland Vlogs ......never realised how important the name for a body of water was 🤣
Yeah apparently it was modelled on Lisbon (this was a Portuguese settlement in India before they were defeated) Thanks very much Martin -still lots more to come 😎👍🏻
Lovely video. If you like old portuguese architecture, visit Old Goa and if you like old hindu Temples, you can also visit Ponda town. There are many temples in Ponda, Shri Nageshi Temple, Mangeshi Temple. Tambdi Surla is pre-Portuguese Temple away from the coastal regions of Goa.
HI Ryan, thanks very much for the recommendations!! There is so much to see in India that we just know it's going got be one of those destinations we have to keep coming back to. 😎👍
Congratulations for recording this nice video on city of my birth, the princess of Asia , the 8 th richest town in India, a heritage city modeled after Lisbon and capital of Goa since AD 1843. The sunrise, sunset, moon rise , moon set seen from the city are breathtaking with a 8 km long exquisite waterfront, 4 kms public beach from Campo de Manuel or Campal to Caranzalem. Well done to capture the dynamic visual essence of city which is paying a heavy price due to ongoing Smarts City development works. Panaji is a city of intellectuals, poets, painters, photographers, writers, singers, dancers, footballers et al. You need to visit Krishnadas Shyama State Central library, Kala Akademy, Institute Menezes Braganza, Goa archives , Corporation market, 18 th June road popular with tourists, the Mahavir and Garcia de Orta garden, the beautiful Dnyansetu on Ourem creek and Yogasetu on Santa Inez creek and not to miss renovated Dona Paula
Thanks for sharing such a detailed history of Panaji, really appreciate the local insight! We really liked this place and what a nice place to call your city of birth. Didn't know it was modelled off Lisbon so funny that we said in the vlog that it instantly reminded us of Lisbon. Thanks for watching and we hope you enjoy the rest of the series 😊🙏
I have subscribed to learn and all positive feedback on Goa will be given to the Government of Goa as consultant to state government on public policies. I send your videos to minister of tourism ,Goa Rohan Khanvte and Goa Tourism Development Corporation MLA Sanvordem Dr Ganesh Gaonkar to educate them because they should know how foreigners perceive this state and what they can learn and improve
Overall we had a positive feeling about Goa 😊 it was noticeably cleaner than neighbouring states, sure the tourist hot spots weren’t for us but it’s the same in all countries we visit. It’s also interesting to hear the comments for other visitors to area. The next episodes we have a great time and find a quieter beach. After heading further south we ride again through Goa.
It is an ‘inlet’ and not wholly. Upstream, it is a river. Technically it is an estuary , where fresh water flows towards the sea and the sea water wedge moves below the freshwater in opposite direction with every tidal cycle.
@@SeanandEmily And I think to qualify as a fjord, it has to have been carved out by a glacier in the past which gives the valley a characteristic shape
I like the way you reply om every comment in the comment’s section. However I don’t know who replies either sean or emily but this is a sweet gesture ❤
Hi! Thanks we do our best to reply to everyone that has taken the time to leave a comment (although some are more deserving than others lol). We both reply to comments -as it’s getting a two person job 😁.
That was so refreshing, sun and bright colours in that very pretty town, as we’ve had another grey day here in the UK. You do make us feel part of your adventure and it’s fun! Yes, you have to be careful what you say, or you’ll get the ‘inlet police’ onto you, via the comments…….!
Well done Emily....I was watching another British biking couple in Thailand who look at the papaya tree and then proceeded to call the fruits mangos 🤷♀
@@SeanandEmily try out whispering willows which right in center of mudumalai forest and trust me u will love this place n your GS is the right bike for this high altitude hills n valleys
When u enter Karnataka.. Try heading to Honnavara.. U can do backwaters boating over there it's really good! Also there's a boardwalk in Honnavara where u can experience the mangroves.. U can also try scuba diving in Murudeshwara post that.. Later u can visit Malpe in Udupi district for calm beaches.. All these places are located on the coastal side..
the architecture is probably portugese looking because a lot of portuguese people used to live in goa a LOT! and because of which many goan people can still speak portugese
Thanks for the recommendation, we only had a short time to visit India so we will at some point come back and travel to the North as it looks incredible!
It's a vented suit suit and in temperatures like this it's going to be hot no matter what we wear. Perhaps you think it would be smarter not to wear bike gear ....and you would be wrong.
Sean , I feel for you not being able to find your secret pocket , only today I’ve been out looking for a pair of camouflage trousers , haven’t been able to see any anywhere 🙄
In karnataka go to Mysore , Hampi , Bangalore for pubs , coorg beautiful hill station , Jog falls should be worth seeing now , Mangalore st. Aloysius chapel frescoes commissioned by the Vatican in the 1870s , beautiful Gokarnath Temple , mangalore well know for sea food cuisine and ice cream.. karkala 150 feet rock cut Jain statue … Nagara hole wildlife reserve … then onward to Kerala…
So many places we’ve missed out on, we’ll have to plan another trip soon! But we will be showing some of those places you've mentioned later in the series 😊👍
Hi, the tour went really well and we have had so many awesome experiences here in India and although we have only seen a small part of India it's been fantastic 😊🙏
Hi, if you guys heading to Kerela then do plan visit to Bandipur Tiger reserve if interested in wild life - highest concentration of Royal Bengal Tigers ( it falls in Karnataka state)
@@SeanandEmily It seems you have explored which places to visit in India , enjoy , wish you all the best . Remember India is big , explore and then visit . You will have great experience
India is divided into three parts A B C. A section is like 30% of india and mostly extreme south and extreme north where as section B is like 40% and one of the part of it is goa and now comes the section C which is like 30% and mostly the centre part of india like the ones you guys were experiencing from past few days. I would prefer you to wobble between A and B for a better experience.

Sorry to say but my father and younger brother took a 3 day stay over in London on their way back from Ottawa...and while they were taking pics of Buckingham palace their bag containing sunglasses perfumes and a camera was stolen...so things happen every where you can't just blame a particular country
It is unfortunate but definitely happens everywhere, hopefully, they didn’t lose anything too valuable 🙏 On a side note at what point did we say this only happens here? -as regular traveler’s we would NEVER make such a statement.
I will tell you about 3 under-rated phenomenon of 2020s. 1) Thai Dramas called Lakorns: I have seen Gifted, Girl from Nowhere, Love Destiny, I Need Romance, Dr Climax, Voice etc etc. 2) Kerala film Industry called Mollywood: I have seen more than 150 films with ratings above 7.5. Recently I saw an interview of Khalid Al Ameri with Nazriya Nazim and Basil Joseph for their film Sookshmadarshini. I have seen movies of Nazim like Bangalore Days and Basil Joseph like Jaya Jaya he and Pookalam. Then I also saw an LGBTQ Malayalam Drama called Kaathal The Core with Mammootty. 3) Mizoram Music Industry: Their music is like 1970s USA music. In 2024 my top 5 songs are the following: 1) The Radio: Hellai Lungrun 2) Ngura: Ran Ngo 3) Lilac and Jacks: Zarkawt Pheiah 4) K Hminga and Sangtei Khuptong: Hmangaihna Kawrang 5) Ruth Tochhawang and Asanga Project: Thlaler Rose Par. These 5 songs will be greater than all the international hits of 2024.
Do u guys also planning to go the North? U should not miss Himalyan states of India. Laddak especially is the most sort after place in India for bikers.
Well After The UPI from year 2022 The Amount of ATMS getting inoperational is much higher to that getting replaced/new atms. which was the case back then
Sorry about the card issue, you shouldn’t have to go through this bs. UPI is one of the greatest Indian modern inventions, the government needs to advertise it better for arrivals and ease the process for tourists. Even a begger accepts UPI payment nowadays, your life in India would have been so much easier
That would have been nice to catch up but we have actually left India now and are making the videos at home. The F850 GSA is a great bike and must be so much fun to ride in India. Wishing you are your wife all the best for 2025! 😎👍
IT’S NOT THAT SIMPLE FOR FOREIGNERS 🤣 yes we should have set it up at the airport but why when our credit cards have been accepted in every other country we have traveled to would we have thought that they wouldn’t work here.
The post office ATM was showing a messege in Marathi that the machine is not working. You were lucky that the machine did not ate your card. It would have been super frustrating to get the card back😅
@SeanandEmily Generally foreign cards are not accepted at smaller places as bank charges per transaction are very high. Also Rupay cards are mainly used in India. It's brought by the govt. Visa and Mastercard are on 2nd and 3rd place. People prefer Rupay as it can be used for UPI payments also. But at a tourist place like Goa govt should think about something abt the card issue. Or at least they can simplify the UPI setup process for foreigners.
There are some local youtubers, if you contacg them they can suggest better, beautiful and not so congested tourist spots. Like if in Kerala, "Food N travel by Ebbin Jose" is a good choice..
Yes they can but it’s a bit more complicated to set up, we have to show our passports at an authorised location to link a foreign back account -we could have done this upon arrival at the airport however we presumed visa/MasterCard/Apple Pay would work and we had never heard about UPI.

This area looks more like parts of Europe, it’s been great watching you both on your adventure 🏴
Yeah apparently it was modelled on Lisbon (this was a Portuguese settlement in India before they were defeated)
Thanks very much Martin -still lots more to come 😎👍🏻
Lovely video. If you like old portuguese architecture, visit Old Goa and if you like old hindu Temples, you can also visit Ponda town. There are many temples in Ponda, Shri Nageshi Temple, Mangeshi Temple. Tambdi Surla is pre-Portuguese Temple away from the coastal regions of Goa.
HI Ryan, thanks very much for the recommendations!! There is so much to see in India that we just know it's going got be one of those destinations we have to keep coming back to. 😎👍
Great video looks good there
It was a great city!
Hat's off to those people and the local govt to maintain these types of historical places still running and are still beautiful
Absolutely 🇮🇳🧡
Congratulations for recording this nice video on city of my birth, the princess of Asia , the 8 th richest town in India, a heritage city modeled after Lisbon and capital of Goa since AD 1843. The sunrise, sunset, moon rise , moon set seen from the city are breathtaking with a 8 km long exquisite waterfront, 4 kms public beach from Campo de Manuel or Campal to Caranzalem. Well done to capture the dynamic visual essence of city which is paying a heavy price due to ongoing Smarts City development works. Panaji is a city of intellectuals, poets, painters, photographers, writers, singers, dancers, footballers et al. You need to visit Krishnadas Shyama State Central library, Kala Akademy, Institute Menezes Braganza, Goa archives , Corporation market, 18 th June road popular with tourists, the Mahavir and Garcia de Orta garden, the beautiful Dnyansetu on Ourem creek and Yogasetu on Santa Inez creek and not to miss renovated Dona Paula
Thanks for sharing such a detailed history of Panaji, really appreciate the local insight!
We really liked this place and what a nice place to call your city of birth. Didn't know it was modelled off Lisbon so funny that we said in the vlog that it instantly reminded us of Lisbon.
Thanks for watching and we hope you enjoy the rest of the series 😊🙏
I have subscribed to learn and all positive feedback on Goa will be given to the Government of Goa as consultant to state government on public policies. I send your videos to minister of tourism ,Goa Rohan Khanvte and Goa Tourism Development Corporation MLA Sanvordem Dr Ganesh Gaonkar to educate them because they should know how foreigners perceive this state and what they can learn and improve
Overall we had a positive feeling about Goa 😊 it was noticeably cleaner than neighbouring states, sure the tourist hot spots weren’t for us but it’s the same in all countries we visit.
It’s also interesting to hear the comments for other visitors to area.
The next episodes we have a great time and find a quieter beach. After heading further south we ride again through Goa.
Dutch Sadras town in Tamil Nadu daman and diu as well is Portuguese and British .
Interesting -thanks 👍🏻
It is an ‘inlet’ and not wholly. Upstream, it is a river. Technically it is an estuary , where fresh water flows towards the sea and the sea water wedge moves below the freshwater in opposite direction with every tidal cycle.
Always good to clear this up 😎🙌🏻
@@SeanandEmily And I think to qualify as a fjord, it has to have been carved out by a glacier in the past which gives the valley a characteristic shape
Thanks, guys for the free digital ride!
We’re glad you enjoyed it! 😊 Hope you are enjoying the series so far 👍🏻
I like the way you reply om every comment in the comment’s section. However I don’t know who replies either sean or emily but this is a sweet gesture ❤
Hi! Thanks we do our best to reply to everyone that has taken the time to leave a comment (although some are more deserving than others lol). We both reply to comments -as it’s getting a two person job 😁.
That was so refreshing, sun and bright colours in that very pretty town, as we’ve had another grey day here in the UK. You do make us feel part of your adventure and it’s fun! Yes, you have to be careful what you say, or you’ll get the ‘inlet police’ onto you, via the comments…….!
Well done Emily....I was watching another British biking couple in Thailand who look at the papaya tree and then proceeded to call the fruits mangos 🤷♀
Thanks, i guess it's an easy mistake to make as we don't get to see the fruits being grown very often 😊
@@SeanandEmily Thats what they said too...theyve not seen too many fruits in the trees back in the UK!
We have plenty of apple trees and Berries but nothing exotic 😉
Pls come to ladakh and manali
Yes we will some day but not on this trip or during winter 😊
@SeanandEmily oh! Ok and your vlogs are amazing 😍 i am just obsessed with your indian trip vlogs 🇮🇳💙
Thanks very much 😊🙏🏻
Read about the inquisition of Goa. You'll get the context and history of the region.
Yeah a dark time in history for sure.
Not sure what ur plan but make sure u travel completely from north western ghats till south western ghats 95% is forest it’s mesmerising n magical
Yeah the Ghats that pass through the forests are very magical! Our happy place is surrounded by nature 😊👍
@@SeanandEmily try out whispering willows which right in center of mudumalai forest and trust me u will love this place n your GS is the right bike for this high altitude hills n valleys
All along the Komkan and Malabar coast the towns are the same, Plenty of foliage and buildings made of laterite stone.
Sounds great, we must check them out some day 👍
When u enter Karnataka.. Try heading to Honnavara.. U can do backwaters boating over there it's really good! Also there's a boardwalk in Honnavara where u can experience the mangroves.. U can also try scuba diving in Murudeshwara post that.. Later u can visit Malpe in Udupi district for calm beaches.. All these places are located on the coastal side..
Thanks for the information 👍🏻
the architecture is probably portugese looking because a lot of portuguese people used to live in goa a LOT! and because of which many goan people can still speak portugese
That makes sense, interesting that many can still speak Portuguese 👍
Anadaman Nicobar Islands, lakshadweep islands, daman and diu islands, French mahe , etc. have more beautiful beaches
Thanks 😊🙏🏻
Come to northeastern part of India. Would love to see you in our region❤
Ride safe
Thanks for the recommendation, we only had a short time to visit India so we will at some point come back and travel to the North as it looks incredible!
if you r going south of goa. do visit ooty, kodaicanal and munnar. i have memorable exp in these hill stations. i too went by bike from Mysore to ooty
Unfortunately we were running out of time and couldn't make it to Ooty - one for next time though
2 words comes to my mind…organized chaos 😊
Absolutely! For a second thought two other words had come to mind lol 🤣
@@SeanandEmily 😂
good !
Glad you liked it! 😁
Plz visit pondicherry in south
Thanks! We will add it to the list 😎👍🏻
Superbb
Thank you!!
You should visit kailasa temple in maharashtra i guarantee you its best place you ever visit enjoy your stay in india
Sounds good. We do visit the Keshava temple and that was impressive too
Very smart, full ninja BMW suit in sweltering heat and humidity.
It's a vented suit suit and in temperatures like this it's going to be hot no matter what we wear. Perhaps you think it would be smarter not to wear bike gear ....and you would be wrong.
Nice 👍 Vlog❤
Glad you liked it! 🙏
Yes Kerala. Hope you visit my state
We did but only briefly -we had planned to stay there longer but we ran out of time. Need to get back there again in the future. 😎👍🏻
Sean , I feel for you not being able to find your secret pocket , only today I’ve been out looking for a pair of camouflage trousers , haven’t been able to see any anywhere 🙄
🤣🤣 -lost many pair of camouflage clothes over the years lol.
Sometimes i can feel the wallet but cant find the dam zip 🤣🤣
In karnataka go to Mysore , Hampi , Bangalore for pubs , coorg beautiful hill station , Jog falls should be worth seeing now , Mangalore st. Aloysius chapel frescoes commissioned by the Vatican in the 1870s , beautiful Gokarnath Temple , mangalore well know for sea food cuisine and ice cream.. karkala 150 feet rock cut Jain statue … Nagara hole wildlife reserve … then onward to Kerala…
So many places we’ve missed out on, we’ll have to plan another trip soon! But we will be showing some of those places you've mentioned later in the series 😊👍
Traffic lights are flashing when the traffic is less and it indicates be attentive while crossing
Well you learn something new everyday 😉
❤❤❤
😊🙏
Hey how's your india tour ?? We are following your journey
Hi, the tour went really well and we have had so many awesome experiences here in India and although we have only seen a small part of India it's been fantastic 😊🙏
Hi, if you guys heading to Kerela then do plan visit to Bandipur Tiger reserve if interested in wild life - highest concentration of Royal Bengal Tigers ( it falls in Karnataka state)
Bandipur is definitely on the list!! 🐯
@@SeanandEmily
It seems you have explored which places to visit in India , enjoy , wish you all the best . Remember India is big , explore and then visit . You will have great experience
Goa was a Portuguese colony,and its their influence on many structures
it sure was and you can really see the influence 😎👍
More a territory of Portugal rather than a colony
Just catching up on your latests vlogs - as good as ever ! What are the exhaust fumes like in the towns?
Horrible 😂🤣
8:54 "End Genocide Ceasefire Now" on the door panel. Always a pleasure to see the Palestine solidarity!
Never noticed -you have eyes like a Hawk. We actually visited Palestine in 2023,

India is divided into three parts A B C. A section is like 30% of india and mostly extreme south and extreme north where as section B is like 40% and one of the part of it is goa and now comes the section C which is like 30% and mostly the centre part of india like the ones you guys were experiencing from past few days. I would prefer you to wobble between A and B for a better experience.
We only had 3 weeks spare so as the far north was coming into winter we felt a short tour of the south was the best use of the time and season 😎👍🏻
@@SeanandEmilySean I'll be traveling to Goa hope we had met, I would have you the proper goan Portuguese experience.

Sorry to say but my father and younger brother took a 3 day stay over in London on their way back from Ottawa...and while they were taking pics of Buckingham palace their bag containing sunglasses perfumes and a camera was stolen...so things happen every where you can't just blame a particular country
It is unfortunate but definitely happens everywhere, hopefully, they didn’t lose anything too valuable 🙏
On a side note at what point did we say this only happens here? -as regular traveler’s we would NEVER make such a statement.
U need to always try to drive at ur left and right for overtakes. Except in 6lanes
In theory yes but this only works if everyone is obeying the rules 😉
you should see the bridge at night
Must look impressive 😎👍🏻
Go to Puducherry French Town of India
Thanks for the tip 👍🏻
Where is your final destination in India?
We return the bike back in Mumbai 😎👍
I will tell you about 3 under-rated phenomenon of 2020s.
1) Thai Dramas called Lakorns: I have seen Gifted, Girl from Nowhere, Love Destiny, I Need Romance, Dr Climax, Voice etc etc.
2) Kerala film Industry called Mollywood: I have seen more than 150 films with ratings above 7.5. Recently I saw an interview of Khalid Al Ameri with Nazriya Nazim and Basil Joseph for their film Sookshmadarshini. I have seen movies of Nazim like Bangalore Days and Basil Joseph like Jaya Jaya he and Pookalam. Then I also saw an LGBTQ Malayalam Drama called Kaathal The Core with Mammootty.
3) Mizoram Music Industry: Their music is like 1970s USA music. In 2024 my top 5 songs are the following:
1) The Radio: Hellai Lungrun
2) Ngura: Ran Ngo
3) Lilac and Jacks: Zarkawt Pheiah
4) K Hminga and Sangtei Khuptong: Hmangaihna Kawrang
5) Ruth Tochhawang and Asanga Project: Thlaler Rose Par.
These 5 songs will be greater than all the international hits of 2024.
Thanks 👍🏻
Do u guys also planning to go the North? U should not miss Himalyan states of India. Laddak especially is the most sort after place in India for bikers.
Yes, but not on this trip as we only have a short amount of time and there's too much snow in the far North
Maharashtra main aao sawantwadi main
👍
Well After The UPI from year 2022 The Amount of ATMS getting inoperational is much higher to that getting replaced/new atms. which was the case back then
Understandable, they need to make the UPI setup process for foreigners easier and maybe let us know before we leave the airport
@SeanandEmily That's true as of now for UPI One world(UPI for foreigners) can be set-uped at airport with KYC
Sorry about the card issue, you shouldn’t have to go through this bs. UPI is one of the greatest Indian modern inventions, the government needs to advertise it better for arrivals and ease the process for tourists. Even a begger accepts UPI payment nowadays, your life in India would have been so much easier
No worries about the cards, just wished there had been some info on it before we left the big cities. hahah that's some advance beggars!
You not visited Dona Paula in Panaji.
Can’t visit everywhere -India is huge 😉 But will add them to the list for next time 👍🏻
Goa is pretty much evolved for foreigners. I don't think it is typical style.
Goa has had many influences throughout its history and all have left their mark.
If you guys are staying in Bangalore, and up for short breakfast rides. Let me know. I’ve a F850 GSA and me and my wife for a quick breakfast ride.
That would have been nice to catch up but we have actually left India now and are making the videos at home. The F850 GSA is a great bike and must be so much fun to ride in India. Wishing you are your wife all the best for 2025! 😎👍
@ awesome ! Looking forward to future videos.
Can you tell me the name of the shop where you had coffee?
It’s called Mo’s -it’s written outside the cafe 👍🏻
maps.app.goo.gl/KTKxuSV7xjo55T9R8?g_st=com.google.maps.preview.copy
DO TRY TO GET UPI THAT IS PRIME PAYMENT INTERFACE IN INDIA. if you have an indian sim may be try using ICICI pockets and GO cashless.
IT’S NOT THAT SIMPLE FOR FOREIGNERS 🤣 yes we should have set it up at the airport but why when our credit cards have been accepted in every other country we have traveled to would we have thought that they wouldn’t work here.
Goa is Portuguese as well as we native goans are luso goanese ethnicity
Thanks for the info, one can for sure see the influence in the area. 😊
@@SeanandEmilyI'm a Goan Portuguese in uk, hope we meet someday, I love superbikes have one zx10r in Goa, next will be here in uk
you missed Bikers Meet, Wangala, Cherry Blossom in Meghalayan Hills and Other UA-camrs Consume All The Subs 😁😁
Too many places in India to see in 3 weeks 😉 -always good to have a reason to come back
Hello my friend.
Hi 👋🏻
The post office ATM was showing a messege in Marathi that the machine is not working.
You were lucky that the machine did not ate your card. It would have been super frustrating to get the card back😅
Yeah that would have been a nightmare 🤣 ….fortunately it wasn’t the type to totally eat the card 🙏🏻
@SeanandEmily Generally foreign cards are not accepted at smaller places as bank charges per transaction are very high. Also Rupay cards are mainly used in India. It's brought by the govt. Visa and Mastercard are on 2nd and 3rd place. People prefer Rupay as it can be used for UPI payments also.
But at a tourist place like Goa govt should think about something abt the card issue. Or at least they can simplify the UPI setup process for foreigners.
There are some local youtubers, if you contacg them they can suggest better, beautiful and not so congested tourist spots. Like if in Kerala, "Food N travel by Ebbin Jose" is a good choice..
Thanks, we’ve already left India but had a fantastic time exploring the south 😊👍🏻
@@SeanandEmily Glad to know you enjoyed it. Best wishes for your future travels, and I hope you'll return to explore more of India.❤
How many peoples like indian culture
Lots I think 😊👍🏻
Thank you New year is coming soon
I’m wandering, can foreigners use UPI ?
Yes they can but it’s a bit more complicated to set up, we have to show our passports at an authorised location to link a foreign back account -we could have done this upon arrival at the airport however we presumed visa/MasterCard/Apple Pay would work and we had never heard about UPI.
@SeanandEmily Good to know 😉
