I found India's friendliest street.

- In Jodhpur I go in search of the famous blue buildings of the city and come across perhaps the friendliest street I’ve ever encountered anywhere in the world where nearly every resident welcomed me with huge smiles and a tremendous welcome.
Along the way I get invited into a carpenter’s studio to watch him saw wood, then I stumble across a man selling trombones in a very unexpected area.
A man invites me into a temple to watch him pray to then bless me as well which I found quite a humbling experience.
I’m also educated by several people standing around a vegetable stand as to what the different names of vegetables in India are called - one particular man is quite the character.
We also discover a temple which offers food cooked in large pans and are greeted by a local man who tries to explain what’s going on.
After climbing a considerable amount of stairs we finally get to a blue guesthouse rooftop where we are able to get a view of the blue buildings of Jodhpur as well as the imposing fort that looms over the city.
This was maybe my favorite travel day so far. A wonderful experience on all accounts.
I love the way you respectfully talk to people. I will be there in October with my family cant wait.
Hi Robert, and thanks. What I find is the more respect you offer the more interaction and respect you receive. I'm excited for you to be traveling here, I'm sure you and your family will love it.
Book uber or ola,,,whenever you struggled to find your location 😅?
Btw congrats on winning cricket world cup 😢
Ha! Thanks. India were the best team in the tournament by far.
Good advice, thanks.
Loving your channel thank-you. Simple and informative content, inspiring many to go outside their comfort zone.
Gee thanks, Darryl. If someone is compelled or motivated to go travel because of any of my little videos that would be an enormous compliment. Thanks so much for taking the time to say hello.
@dirtcheaptraveller I'm sure people have and will continue to travel with all the help/information your vloggs provide. So good to see how calm you are in situations many would find tough. Reminds me of when I was lost in Moldova, my daughter stayed relaxed and and we managed to find our way onwards.
@@DarrylHayward-hq2zp Sounds like an interesting story from the road.
I love , how friendly the people are in that market. I like your take on not making people uncomfortable by record them. ❤❤❤❤.
Ali, honestly, they were all so happy, smiling, and welcoming it was almost a little surreal. I've never been in a such a friendly foreign street.
@@fiascodagama1 Are you in india now days ?
@@fiascodagama1if you are , that please come in our area also my home town located near Delhi , and Agra
The reason why your vlogs are so good is because you are an honest good hearted man. It comes through quite clearly. The friendliness that you perceive is because of our age old principle of Vasidhaiva Kutumbakam, the world is one family. Remove all mental barriers and be ONE.
Hi shivaram, thank you for the kind words. I was talking to someone this morning about how a person's attitude will often determine the type of travel experience they have. If you are open-minded, honest, and friendly towards others that sentiment will be returned to you. Indian people are very gracious and hospitable people and will reward you ten times for you being a sincere person. Thank you for taking the time to comment.
It seems like early morning is the best time to roam around india. Less chaos & ppl are mostly in good mood due to less heat & humidity
Yes, you might be right. Everyone seems very relaxed and approachable in the mornings.
Wayne when we travel vloggers are on a planned vlogging mission on the streets of India, those plans are thwarted by the most friendly people in India and that's a good thing. Not everyone is always having a good day but ah well. Keep up the good work.
You sure can be guaranteed you'll meet all types on the streets - that's why i love it.
Keep going Sir, enjoying your videos, great storytelling and i feel like I’m travelling with you in India.
That's really generous of you to say, thanks so much.
You can go to any Hindu temple by taking off your shoes if they allow you to film you can Hindus are welcoming to their guest 🙏🕉️
It was very nice of the man to invite me into the temple. I always want to be careful not to disrespect. Thanks for the advice.
@@fiascodagama1 yes you can visit the temple film the inside structures but most likely don't go to film the idol of God directly some will don't like its related to santity of the temple and god until they allow you to film the idol but you can enter any temple to seek blessings in whole India 😊
@@samip3124 That's really good to know. Thank you, sampi.
Visit the hills of uttarakhand, if you are lucky, you might even find snow on christmas😄
So many places to see, although Uttarakhand has been mentioned to me a few times. Thanks for the suggestion also.
@@fiascodagama1 very quick reply man! We have a homestay here in Uttarakhand, but we don't have snow forecast this month🙂. you can certainly find it in other parts of the state though
I love the vibes you give! Good video, welcome and enjoy your stay here!
Hey, karthiknb, thanks so much for the kind words and warm welcome.
For free meal its called Bhandara Prashad it happens in big Temples not in small ones
Thanks for the information samip, I wasn't sure.
@@fiascodagama1 If you go shirdi thats where bhandara is very much prevalent
@@viveksharma-dg6qk Ok, i will try remember. Thanks.
You are blasting us with great content my friend! Awesome!
Always great to see you, UrielCopy. You're becoming my favorite follower, if for no other reason than me determined to hear you've booked your ticket to India and it's written on your calendar. Ha! Thanks as always.
Haha thanks 🙏 @@fiascodagama1
So this is. Jain temple. In India you can visit pretty much all temples. I am not able to comment on mosques. The Hindu religion is all welcoming. Very kind of the Jain gentleman to invite you in.
Thanks again, prettypenny, for passing on your local knowledge of things to better help understand. Cheers.
India is a different world… people are very friendly and helpful.. it is a fabulous country, it needs to be visited with a very and relaxed open-mind. 😊
I agree. If you're able just to relax and be respectful India and its people will embrace you wholeheartedly.
New subscriber.. hello from Ireland 🇮🇪
I like sir ❤❤❤I from Kerala 🇮🇳
Thank you.
Just discovered ur channel - loving ur videos. Subscribed - Keep them coming
Hey, shyampagne, thanks so much for coming on the journey. Hopefully we can see some things, meet some people, and be good folk while we do it.
Ejoying your videos! If you come to Mumbai - be my guest!
That's a very generous offer of hospitality, sir. Thank you so much.
The trombone shop seems kind of odd and out of place, having listened to Indian music over the years I can't say I ever remember hearing a trombone, granted I have limited exposure to their music scene(which I'm sure is vastly different from region to region) and have probably listened to more traditional to older Bollywood, Ravi Shankar, etc. Do you try to seek out any music while your there?
Hi bluefish. I enjoy music a great deal (even attempt to play it occasionally) and would be eager to engage in it as an observer/listener or even perhaps jam a little if the opportunity presented itself. With much of my time devoted to making videos, and with the nature or style of those videos being sort of random encounters, I haven't come across any music as such but would be very pleased should it present itself. Thanks for taking the time to ask.
You people are right feeling puzzled seeing the trombone shop in India. Actually it is not a trombone shop and trombone and other western instruments are not part of classical indian music. That shop is the office/store of a band of musicians for hire (we call it band or band party) to go and play music in a marriage procession/any other procession/road parade etc. To understand why they are playing western instrument and not indian ones you need to go back to history. These are imitations of british military bands processions which are copied by indian maharajas and then common people to celebrate special occasions.
@@soumyabrataroy4274 Gee, thanks so much for explaining the origins of the instrument and when or what it's used for. I thought it was really peculiar to see these things in the place I saw them - you've been very generous in educating us with the history and use. Thanks.
@@soumyabrataroy4274 Thank you for the information, that would be interesting to see.
Stumbled upon this channel by chance - and just loving it.
Your personality is infectious - the way you carry yourself and talk so respectfully to others - I can just aspire to be like that someday. You just made my day.
And I noticed you replied to every comment - it just shows across how sincere you are.
Hi soumyaranjandas. Thanks so much for the kind words and watching the channel, I appreciate it.
I am an indian, recently visited jodhpur in october. Your videos are fun to watch, you are just like a kid who don't know anything and feeling excited at all these sights and sounds.
That's me in general, I guess. I want to look at the world in wonder. Thanks for taking the time to say hi.
I noticed a lot of shuttered up shops or houses , is it the time on day you are there or business not so great.
It's one of the aspects I like about the places I've seen so far - things don't get going until around ten in the morning it seems. Of course, many businesses are open quite late also.
That was a lot of steep stairs haha, get pretty fit climbing that every day I would imagine. Can't wait to see the fort.
Take a fair few more climbs to get to your level of fitness, Johnno. Looking forward to the fort myself.
You guys , your appealing smile and pretty well talk is adorable, there are every shopkeeper talking with you friendly becoz Indian guys always a good treat to other countries guys and welcome also but you are one of the best guy becoz you have an unique thinks about India and Indian guys happy with you.
Hey vishupratap. you're very kind. Every Indian person I've met has been very polite, welcoming, and helpful. Love India!
9:59 best moment 😂🤣
He was very happy fun guy. :)
Love from India Wayne.. I’m glad you had such a great time here.. People are always nice to you because the energy you bring is pure and joyful. India tends to amplify the energy you bring. You came with a completely open mind and found just that
Youre very kind, udayakiran. Thank you.
Every street in india is friendly...
I'm sure they are, but this street was something I hadn't experienced before.
Its take a lots of passion and time to understand india.u have both
seek blessings from LORD SHIVA the Mahadev ❤🙏
Thank you
You might feel like Rocky Balboa going through that street :)
Just a tip that I think might help you but you are already doing amazing. If you speak a bit slow and use elementary level English words then you might have more success in getting the answers to what you ask the locals.
I think you're right. I do speak a little fast sometimes which would make it more difficult to understand. Thanks.
@@fiascodagama1 No, its not you. I have worked in various customer services and this is what they teach about talking in different accents to different native speakers. It is a very human nature to do so. Your style to convey message is also poetic so rather just use simple and questions - where is ... which way is.... or if you want to make an effort then watch the last video of "Bald and Bankrupt' He is so good that he just gave travellers very effective way to interact with minimum word sentences to learn which can be substituted with lots of things.
@@ashishnegi9602 and speaking louder doesnt help, right? 🙂
Theyre not deaf
@@NewLife-qj9mx I am not sure if you have been to India the traffic is so loud you can barely hear yourself. Secondly, it is part of the effective communication. It really helps when you speak louder you emphasise on letters and syllables for the listeners.
Looking forward to your visit to Punjab, sir! Please do let me know when you're planning to explore this vibrant region. And remember, if you encounter any challenges or need assistance during your time here, don't hesitate to reach out. I'll be more than happy to lend a helping hand. Safe travels, and see you soon in Punjab!
Most people all over India will be like this, just varying degree of English fluency
Pandit ji did Puja in yr name ...when he asked yr name he prayed 🙏 fr u
Lucky man enjoy your life
Lambu and kaalu two lambu one kaalu😂
you look like you are having fun!! enjoy you stay!!
Thanks. I'm having a great time - looking forward to the next few months.
Everybody has a story to tell..
Isn't that the truth? It's nice to hear it from people willing to give you some of their time. Thanks, krushnanayak.
And everything changes after every 100kms ... One needs a lifetime to explore whole of India. Maybe that's why I don't have plans to go out of my lovely country😅
It would take a life time to fully explore India, i agree. you're very lucky to have such a diverse county in which to live. Thanks for dropping by, Maneesh.
channel name : dirt and cheap travel Travels to: mostly India
That's not entirely correct. I travel all over the world on a budget. I just happened to start a UA-cam channel recently not long before visiting India. Making assumptions isn't something I like to engage in, personally.
😊👍
When you coming to Nepal 🇳🇵 grandpa 😅
Grandpa will be returning in a couple of months.
7:03 😂😂
. But i appreciate.
Thanks you so much mate to visiting our country.
Keep Exploring India
Hi shiv, the pleasure's been all mine.
@@fiascodagama1 i really Appreciate it, mate
Omg at yk the spikes on car part
The building opposite to that is my restaurant Khamma Ghani Sa! You can even see the board.
I really like your Jodhpur vlogs tho your vids are very genuine
Hi sanid, we'll have to drop in for some food next time we're in town.
@@fiascodagama1 Sure! That'd be awesome!
Blue color acts like a insect resplendent 😂
I have had many people tell me this also. Thanks for commenting about it.
U can visit south India u can see variety of different foods temples heritage and culture especially Kerala and Tamil Nadu
CONGRATULATIONS on reaching 1000 SUBS. Soon your channel will be monetized if not already there. 😎🙏🤩🎉🎊
Thanks, Eddie. Hopefully we might get to do this full time one day - it's a long process I think to make any money from youtube.
@@fiascodagama1 🇮🇳 India is the place that can spur that growth 💹 on UA-cam especially because you (Wayne) are such a kind and happy-go-lucky spirit and the people of India are seeing that. As you can only be in India for 90 days each calender year on the tourist visa make the most of it. Keep coming back every year for 90 days especially around festival times like Diwali, Maha Kumbh Mela, Holi, etc and interact with the locals like you are so genuinely doing my friend. I'm going to be here for a total of six months every year. Only The UK🇬🇧, Japan🇯🇵, The US 🇺🇸 and Canada 🇨🇦 can get 6-month tourist visas for each calender year with India. Anyhow keep doing your best here in Asia on your Line Ranger travels 🥾🥾.
Bro thinks "Good day" means biscuit and said 'no' 😅
If u want to ask how much money , just make a gesture of spinning a coin with ur thumb and first finger ,
Is that how Indian people ask?
@@fiascodagama1 yes , if u don't know the language , try it and let me know the result 👍
Welcome to Bharath
Appreciate the welcome.
Come to varanasi too
Varanasi is hopefully going to be a part of this trip, I've heard a great deal about it.
great job
Very kind of you, dhanan - thank you.
Well come to india
Thank you so much.
🎉🎉🎉🎉👍🙏
Hi sanjay.
Loved the temple visit and the view at the end. Look forward to you visiting the fort.
Thanks Phys. Hopefully we'll meet a few people along the way to what looks like a pretty impressive structure. Always good to see you.
Sir
You should show both side of india.
Rich and poor.
I understand what you mean. But I have to say the simple living types of people interest me a great deal. I'm sure I will experience many different sides of India.
Don’t underestimate them, they’re only friendly to a point, try any bakwaas and tu jaisa firangi might end up missing 😊
One should always be mindful of the potential for some to have a hidden agenda. Most people don't wish for anything other than a friendly encounter.
The chilli snack is the best in jodhpur, he was trying fresh stuff, you should have tasted it.
It sounds like I missed an opportunity. I'll try it next time.
Good evening sir thanks for a good video ❤❤❤
Good evening to your good self, sir. Thank you so much for watching and taking the time to comment.
Sir you are very kind and compassionate....will talk to you through video calling someday....IF u find something difficult in communicating with locals I can help you with that
Thank you for your kind words, viveksharma.
I@@fiascodagama1IF u find difficulty in communicating with locals I can help you with that....❤❤❤❤❤
@ 1:10 that man who offered You the tea was genuinely generous.... He gestured to share his tea, half-half! It was out of this World!
It's simple kind gestures like this from complete strangers that restores one faith a little. Thanks for stopping by, tushkoli.
U r from which place in Australia ?
I'm from Perth on the west coast.
Trust Wayne to meet the village idiot called "darkier/blackie" a.k.a "Kallu". 😂
Oh, now I understand why they were saying the man's name like that and making fun. He seemed like a very likable guy and very happy, he sure seemed to be enjoying himself. Thanks for explaining the term given to the chap , even if it's not perhaps a very positive name. Cheers.
@@fiascodagama1 Isn't that the truth. The dumber you are, the happier you are. Its always the smart one's who are miserable.
That's a Jain temple.
Is it? Ok, thanks for letting me know.
Visit North-East India
Ok.Thanks.
First person
You're pretty fast. Nice.
Hi Wayne, love your genuine attitude and straightforward content and a great Aussie attitude. Seems like the videos are growing on me..
just keep in mind...Anything which is out of the tourist circuit is generally fair.. general thumb rule, speak to local folks whom you want to and avoid those who come up to you to chat.. mostly..
Ask people to repeat words unfamiliar and look up on the internet or use google translate...
Also have Uber in hand in big cities just to give you a fair idea of the fare.. cheers 🍻
It's very kind of you to go to the trouble and outlining those things , grish. I appreciate it. Thanks.
@@fiascodagama1 Thanks for your reply. Just that we love people visiting our country but get really pained when they experience trouble due to some unscrupulous characters in our land.
We would love you to go back with overall good memories and positive experiences.
And again very happy to host you at my place and take you around if you plan to visit Bangalore, Karnataka!
Hi Wayne, that wasn't a music instruments shop, in fact it was a kind of an of office for a band. When indians get married they book a band. Groom's family friends and relatives get together, some times a couple of hundred and go to the bride's home dancing in the streets while the band play bellwood hits one after another.
Thanks so much for explaining things for me, anugupta, I appreciate you taking the time.
You are so lovely so you see everyone as a Lovely person❤
I think everyone deserves the right to be treated respectfully and kindly in the first instance.
