    Dude
    I rarely comment BUT this is a fantastic video. I was born and raised in Chennai ,
    How ever you ended up in Moore market this place has a long history of hawking and dealing with recycled goods and having ability to fix house hold general goods (white goods spare parts ) ...while the Equivalent for motor bikes is Pudupettai, Electronics is Richie street ,and cars is GP road (General peters road ) all within 20 mins of each other . There were also a strong Irish settlement in that part of Chennai (Stanley hospital and Gosha hospital is testament to that ) along with rippon building (current corporation building ) the central railway station all way to marina beach ..the proximity of English settlements meant people had street knowledge of common English words vocabulary for many years .
    Glad you survived the heat and humidity sound and safe ...keep rocking

    - Hilarious 🤣🤣.. and as expected.... some people just can't take a video for what it is: namely just a video. I showed you a unique street with some pretty cool people. Ok, so if you speak the local language I can see you think a lot of people were not so cool but so what? I thought it was interesting hangin out there and you all got to see a unique street and community you will probably never get to even hear about unless I stumbled in there.
    Stop taking life so seriously and if you want Vlogs with boring guitar/synth music and scripted dining and sunset scenes... aren't there one million channels you can go an watch that on?
    I'll continue exactly the way I want and always have which is is too film unique things and a wide variety of things.
    And yes that will eventually also include more normal life as well as some luxury hotel videos (since so many are so damn eager to prove to the world that 5 star hotels exist in India. We all know that you have extreme luxury too)
    So take a chill pill... relax and enjoy the show!
    Now about the subtitles and I'll only write this once since this is the first video. It's basically impossible to do any kind of comedy these days as people have such a poor grasp of history and general knowledge of the world. But you'd think most people knew that the Brits ran huge parts of India as a colony for hundreds of years.
    It started with trade and actually just buying stuff like cloth... then fast forward a few decades later and they're controlling the damn factories that produce the clothes and full-scale looting ensued as any Indian will tell you.
    Hence the joke was, and I can't believe I have to explain this, that when I come into this street where no foreigners ever venture they get deja vu and take me for a British colonialist who've returned and hence attempt to subtly drive me away by refusing to sell me stuff... lest droves of whities follow in my footsteps and it all happens again.
    If people have a little knowledge of history they'd put 2 and 2 together and see what the supposed humour with the subtitles was here.... I see many Indians get it and thought it was funny... foreigners however 🤣🤦🏼‍♂

You show us things we'd never see otherwise, whether its drinking from a boob mug in Mexico, travelling with Jeff the llama, or swimming in the torrential rivers of the Himalayas. Videos like this is why I live vicariously through you. Ignore the idiots who complain. If it wasn't for you, I'd never get to see the true heart of so many amazing places and so many ways to cook pork. Much love and gratitude, Haraldo!

    Only a man with an open mind and a deep respect for people can make videos in such locations. Of course, Harald in India videos is like chopping wood with a golden axe, but showbiz is showbiz. A trip around Europe with all the historic/economic insights would be the real Harald teritory but a lot of people on UA-cam only care about shiny stuff and simple jokes so...yeah. Top man!

      I have a wealthy former Indian diplomat in my writer's group who visited India a few months ago. Since returning he told us of his travels where he only stayed in the finest hotels and ate in the finest restaurants. He would never, ever find himself in this place among the hardworking poor people of Chennai. Harald has probably seen more of real India than this diplomat ever has.

Your authentic and unpretentious vlogging is what made me and the hubby like watching you Harald. 😊 We can tell you were really keeping your cool. We were so annoyed tho!😂 The audacity of that woman to use the temple so you give her money! No shame and obviously a scammer. I don't care about her story, what she did to you was not okay. She even asked for more money and you told the guy you gave her more than 500 already before the video got cut off to you drinking Chai. I just wanted to point that fact as I only see mostly pleasant and positive comments and people seem to turn a blind eye or ignore the unpleasant part of this video. Safe travels!

She put about FOUR or FIVE jalopenos on, then said "That's all I give you.". I had waited 20 minutes in the queue. The guy in front of me, he asked for pickle, peppers, tomatoes, sweetcorn, everything. She piled it on for him! I said "What? I ONLY want jalopenos though!" and she said "Yeah sorry, that's all I can give you!". So I said "Ok then, see you later!" and walked out.

      I am a Subway Sandwich Artist and the owner of my Subway is Indian he is very tight with his stuff however he wants to make the customer happy so the standard for jalapenos is end-to-end. Basically you put as many jalapenos that will fit from one side to the other touching. Usually 8 to 10. If the customer asks for more then they get another eight to ten. We never refuse. So I don't know what Subway you went to or where but that is wrong.
