The rickshaw uncle was legit a honest person he was constantly asking “where do you want to go” and didn’t ask for 50 rupees as well the guys around him told him to pay 50 rupees.
First 100 rs bol raha tha auto wala 30 actual price tha, 50 atleast de do auto wala say but Jo translator tha oh 50 bola na auto ka actual na dale ka 😂
The way you deal with taxis refusing your ride is that when they pull over, you just get in and state your destination. If they say no, you pretend you don't understand and repeat your destination until they take you. Worked for me. The inside of that taxi looked like something from a movie or the previous century, haha. It's crazy that they still have pull rikshaws, where the guy walks and pulls it. I'd be embarrassed to ride one of those. Like, he's walking, why shouldn't I walk myself?
Yes it is. But, also that way he can earn something, he hardly earns anything due to that. Most people either take tram or taxi or walk, only a few like Dale would wish to just try it out for fun. Locals wouldn't. Also, u can't just give em money out of sympathy, because that is just making someone a begger. The fact that he's not begging but working anything to earn, no matter how small the job is, makes him wonderful.

Dale... Another great video. I just discovered your channel recently and you got me enthusiastic about going back to India. To me India is the most fascinating country in the World. I also like your advice about street food safety as you walk around in large cities of the developing world. I learned my lesson in Luxor Egypt in 1977. I drank a Coke that had ice in it probably made from Nile river water. I had travelers diarrhea for 3 weeks and dropped 15 pounds. All you travelers going to developing countries...Beware of ICE in drinks!
25:30 the cab driver told the man that it's 30 rs, but he was asking for 50 (he asked for 100 actually). So actually u paid him 20 more. That's OK! because u wouldn't want to fight on streets ig. I hope this doesn't happen again. 😅

Stop crossing roads like that. That hand thing works, but there is a a sweet speed gap that Indians recognise. You are doing when the signals are open. Be safe, a lot of people die in India due to jaywalking.
I'm new to this channel and this guy just embraces every kind of experience as it comes, with zero judgement or culture shock. So refreshing to see a western traveller not passing opinions about everything, and just enjoying a good time befriending everyone in my city!
I love the innocence that comes out from your vlogs, I am born and brought up in Kolkata wish I could give you a tour, The Ganges, Howrah Bridges, Victoria Memorial, Eden Garden, College Street, Coffee House, Park Street and so much more.... :)
Hi Dale, Whenever you are back in Kolkata do head over to Howrah and travel by a Launch. Its a large boat and you can really enjoy the diverse beauty of Kolkata. That will be another mode of transport, that is via water! Loved your vlog and keep up the great work 👍🏻
In India, People intentionally remove silencer from their bike to make it sound more louder in crowd. They sometimes replace the original Honk with a train one. Here, Peoples honk even on an empty streets. India is world honking capital.

With love from kolkata When you said Park circus, at 28 minutes that time my stationary shop was behind you on your left with blue gate.....sory bro for the taxi man charging you double.
You've literally missed so many wonderful places yet coming so near to them. Maidan and Exide has so many places to visit. I hope you'll come back again and start venturing them as well.❤️
You'd do well to either learn a bit of the local language OR find out about local travel guidelines from your hotel rather than expect everyone on the road to understand English. A poor rickshaw puller or a cabbie may not understand English. Imagine a situation if someone comes to Scotland and speaks to the locals in a language that people there wouldn't understand. They wouldn't even be half as helpful in such a situation.
Hi Dale, you showed us a variety of places and the bustling streets of India and you also met a nice businessman who spoke good English who even paid for your ticket. The biryani bar looked very high class and apparently the food was very tasty, in the end you got your favorite chai. I enjoyed every minute of it, so interesting parts of India. Thank you my friend for your efforts that keep us in great pleasure with a smile on our faces as we go to bed. :-)

Dale - love all your videos mate. I hope to meet you in person someday. btw, you missed the ferry across the Hooghly river. Again pretty unique to the city of kolkata
Loved your vlog Dale❤️. I'm from Kolkata and I really enjoy when people from other countries come to my city and enjoys the beauty of it. India is famous for its diversities and Kolkata especially reflects that trait. All the other metro cities in India has grown far away towards the modernization but Kolkata is the only metro which didn't lost its identity and life. You can do time travel here... North Kolkata has stopped the time and holds the old world charm and classic depiction of the days before the independence whereas South Kolkata is relatively new and moved towards modernization. I have visited the other metropolitans in India and I see the busyness and workaholic lifestyle but Kolkata is the only city which has the balance between leisure and busyness (maybe that's why Bengalees are famous for their lazy nature and being late😜). It's known as the Cultural Capital of India as well as the City Of Joy and the 'Kolkata Durga Puja' has been acknowledged by the UNESCO as the 'Cultural Heritage' tag (first and only festival in India to recive this tag) and also it's the largest Installed Art Festival in the World. The Metro railway in Kolkata is the first metro railway of the country and only metro service owned by the Ministry of Indian Railways that's why it looked so old and little bit rusty. The place you visited first, the Maidan (means open ground in bengali) is actually owned by the Indian Army and the surrounding areas also like the Elliott Park and the Football Club tents (East Bengal FC, Muhanbagan FC etc.) that's why photography is prohibited in some of those places. This huge ground is there since 18th century, since the British period and it is kept as an open ground in front of the Fort William (the main fort for the British in India from 1757 to 1911 and now the headquarters of the Indian Army Eastern Command) to spot the enemies and now it is kept as it is so that the Indian Army can use it anytime during emergency situations. I know it's a large comment and I hope you'll read it till the end. All the Bengalees like me, will be very happy and glad to welcome you in Kolkata during the Durga Puja. It is said that 'You may leave Kolkata but Kolkata will never leave from your heart.'❤️❤️

27:34 lmao the way he shows that poster outside la-martiniere and that cab goes honking away 😂
just love him and my hometown too ❤
Much awaited Kolkata series is back love ur vlogs brother
In kolkata we call "taka" instead of rupees !!! That was the reason they didn't understand dale
Momtaj K taka is just a colloquial term for money....that too only for Bengali people! Not to forget our currency is rupee not taka!
@@tarang643 all the eastern states call it taka... Oridisha bengal 7north east... Thanks taka is not Bangladeshi taka(bdt)... Taka is rupees,, we will keep calling it taka...
Rupees is the mughol term
..Sanskrit is taka
@@ichamatitales9459 i never said that taka should not be used..... obviously taka word is used but is a colloquial term....it cannot be used instead of rupees . When already it is the currency of another country....What you're saying is to discourage the Currency of the country . FYI , Both the words have sanskrit origin 🙃. I am a Bengali too and I know my state very well and I 'm also well aware of the fact that even illiterate people here aren't that foolish to not be able to recognise rupees . Stop misrepresenting the place..... remember all the places you've mentioned are a part of india and our currency is Rupees😊 no matter what term is used locally anywhere. Each and every word for once can be dismissed but not the one which is by order from the constitution 👍👍
@@ichamatitales9459 There is no harm in calling it taka in the very first place but for a foreigner such local words are totally an alien concept!
As Indian we would love if dale makes at least one video of his hometown 😁
26:36 that guy is representing our culture 😍😍 ....now present generation cant do that😔
Loved the way he adressed everyone " sir "❤❤❤
Welcome to the City of Joy ... Love from Kolkata ... 💗💗💗👍👍👍
Thank you so much 😀
That Guy at tea stall was trying to say PM Narendra modi use to sell Chai and he was saying MS DHONI (Famous Indian Cricketer and also a former captain of team India ) not i miss money 😂😂
lmao
A wee bit annoying that we aren't able to get out! And then you come and make my smiles all day 😁😊
Keep the vlogs going love em also pls wear mask be safe bud
I must salute 🫡 you for managing your trip to kolkata. Was fun watching you talking to them literally 😄.
That old man sitting alone in that lonely place.....🥺......and Dale played wholeheartedly nice..✌️
Stop crossing roads like that. That hand thing works, but there is a a sweet speed gap that Indians recognise. You are doing when the signals are open. Be safe, a lot of people die in India due to jaywalking.
11:41 photography is prohibited, probably because it’s army property
This man is so pure and innocent . He must be protected at all cost.
I'm new to this channel and this guy just embraces every kind of experience as it comes, with zero judgement or culture shock. So refreshing to see a western traveller not passing opinions about everything, and just enjoying a good time befriending everyone in my city!
Taxis in India take you where they want to take you not where you want to go
The rickshaw's design dates back to 1895 in Japan. A classic. Calcutta is one of the few places in the world that still uses this design.
I love the innocence that comes out from your vlogs, I am born and brought up in Kolkata wish I could give you a tour, The Ganges, Howrah Bridges, Victoria Memorial, Eden Garden, College Street, Coffee House, Park Street and so much more.... :)
30:40 u should find a lover who looks at u like he is looking at Dale's wallet
He's already going to get 4times the amount.
Give the Rickshaw drivers what they want because It's a hard job
You are a very kind person. Hats off to you..
Awesome city tour right here! Definitely need to visit India myself one day 🙌💯🇮🇳
You must experience India at least once in your life!
Dale Philip for sure!
Very happy to see people from all over the world taking interest in my city and country 💞
@@ThanhMaiOFFICIAL we welcome you in india
Please visit 😀
Hi Dale, Whenever you are back in Kolkata do head over to Howrah and travel by a Launch. Its a large boat and you can really enjoy the diverse beauty of Kolkata. That will be another mode of transport, that is via water! Loved your vlog and keep up the great work 👍🏻
Thanks man, I wish I knew about it earlier.
Dale Philip No worries! you are very welcome here in India! 🇮🇳 Thank you for the revert it feels so special!
Dale I lived in in Kolkata years ago. While I saw the video I just lived the moment 😀.I miss the Briyani,😋
Nobody :
Dale with two strong legs : pans the camera to show a flier lying on the floor saying “Nisha body massage” 😂😂
Phillips you are a good person..i watch your so many india's video...very nice & meaningful. Have a nice journey.
Yeah, the "DO NOT HONK" sign isn't going to do much in India is it?
🤣 exactly
We will honk, even if driving alone on the road.
In India, People intentionally remove silencer from their bike to make it sound more louder in crowd. They sometimes replace the original Honk with a train one. Here, Peoples honk even on an empty streets. India is world honking capital.
There are plz honk sign in India :)
You will be penalised for honking unnecessarily in Kathmandu
epal. Modification of horn and silencer are not permitted and subject to be seized with heavy penalty.
I just binged all the 29 Indian videos Before this one in the playlist in 2 days!!
Thanks for entertaining my evening Dale. Love from a Srilankan
It's my pleasure Kay. :)
@30:45 when he paid extra 10 ,the rickshaw driver offered him extra distance that innocence of a common man🥺
Dale you always let the poor shopkeepers to keep the change so kind hearted you are...
With love from kolkata
When you said Park circus, at 28 minutes that time my stationary shop was behind you on your left with blue gate.....sory bro for the taxi man charging you double.
You've literally missed so many wonderful places yet coming so near to them. Maidan and Exide has so many places to visit. I hope you'll come back again and start venturing them as well.❤️
Exide is simply a really weird place with a weird name that sounds like the name of a motor oil. I don't think Dale should go there.
9:05 dale shoots dog 😂
You'd do well to either learn a bit of the local language OR find out about local travel guidelines from your hotel rather than expect everyone on the road to understand English. A poor rickshaw puller or a cabbie may not understand English. Imagine a situation if someone comes to Scotland and speaks to the locals in a language that people there wouldn't understand. They wouldn't even be half as helpful in such a situation.
12:33 look the background person in light blue 🔵 cloths, 'waving 👋 his hand'
Love ♥️ from India 🇮🇳
Hi Dale, you showed us a variety of places and the bustling streets of India and you also met a nice businessman who spoke good English who even paid for your ticket. The biryani bar looked very high class and apparently the food was very tasty, in the end you got your favorite chai. I enjoyed every minute of it, so interesting parts of India. Thank you my friend for your efforts that keep us in great pleasure with a smile on our faces as we go to bed. :-)
It was a fun day. I hope for more days like this in Kolkata after things become normal again.
@@Dale_Philip Yes my friend I also have fun watching your amazing Videos. We hope Covid 19 to vanish from our palnet soon. Much love from Sweden :-)
u made me so nostalgic mate. used to take the metro rail to work in Chandni Chowk station five days a week during my kolkata days. u doing a fantastic job. shout out from Canada !!!
There is a chandni chowk in kolkata too? Noice
50:01 young Hardik Pandya begging for food.. 😀
Hahahahahha..
Dale - love all your videos mate. I hope to meet you in person someday. btw, you missed the ferry across the Hooghly river. Again pretty unique to the city of kolkata
Loved your vlog Dale❤️. I'm from Kolkata and I really enjoy when people from other countries come to my city and enjoys the beauty of it. India is famous for its diversities and Kolkata especially reflects that trait. All the other metro cities in India has grown far away towards the modernization but Kolkata is the only metro which didn't lost its identity and life. You can do time travel here... North Kolkata has stopped the time and holds the old world charm and classic depiction of the days before the independence whereas South Kolkata is relatively new and moved towards modernization. I have visited the other metropolitans in India and I see the busyness and workaholic lifestyle but Kolkata is the only city which has the balance between leisure and busyness (maybe that's why Bengalees are famous for their lazy nature and being late😜). It's known as the Cultural Capital of India as well as the City Of Joy and the 'Kolkata Durga Puja' has been acknowledged by the UNESCO as the 'Cultural Heritage' tag (first and only festival in India to recive this tag) and also it's the largest Installed Art Festival in the World.
The Metro railway in Kolkata is the first metro railway of the country and only metro service owned by the Ministry of Indian Railways that's why it looked so old and little bit rusty. The place you visited first, the Maidan (means open ground in bengali) is actually owned by the Indian Army and the surrounding areas also like the Elliott Park and the Football Club tents (East Bengal FC, Muhanbagan FC etc.) that's why photography is prohibited in some of those places. This huge ground is there since 18th century, since the British period and it is kept as an open ground in front of the Fort William (the main fort for the British in India from 1757 to 1911 and now the headquarters of the Indian Army Eastern Command) to spot the enemies and now it is kept as it is so that the Indian Army can use it anytime during emergency situations.
I know it's a large comment and I hope you'll read it till the end. All the Bengalees like me, will be very happy and glad to welcome you in Kolkata during the Durga Puja.
It is said that 'You may leave Kolkata but Kolkata will never leave from your heart.'❤️❤️
You are smarter than I thought, you just jumped into a running tram , and the ride was FREE!!
You're becoming more smarter and nobody can take you for a ride.
Such a shame, being so beautiful so dirty - maidan
I kind of think the dirtiness of the place, is part of its charm. But im weird.
The Whole Ground is Indian army's property. Indian army maintain it.
@@prosanjitchakraborty8490 that doesn't mean it's not your responsibility as a citizen..mate stop throwing responsibilities..just own it.That's your army..your people your country.
@@shailendra5094 u can't keep that massive ground clean if people constantly comes and litters and thats what literally happens we cant always hope for others to clean it up we should not litter feelsbadman
@@nilanjannaskar9943 that's not for one..If everyone takes it as own responsibility..It's possible.
Rickshaw wala-park circus me kaha jaiga??? Dale Phillips-anyway in park circus I don't know 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣...they don't understand each other 😂😂
37:19 those guys wanted nothing to do with you lmao
41:35 this is India for you !❤️ 🕉✝️☪️

Sad to see people taking advantage of you just because you don't know hindi,
