Dale, Annie and I were glad to meet you on that trip and we've enjoyed watching quite a number of your older blogs since then (we've subscribed). What a surprise to tune in and see this video today on your channel. It brought back some fun memories (we still haven't looked at the photos and videos we shot during our 3-4 months in India but we watched this 1/2 hr. video). We hope to run into you again and look forward to seeing more of your postings. All the best!
@@Dale_Philip - Reading your page here is like reading a book... you have so many followers, we're really impressed! We're happy we got to share this adventure with you. I had brought along about 25 pounds of balloons with me... mostly to play with kids on the streets as Annie explored her "shopping chakra" (she's got that developed like the artist she is). When I'd get bored (like on that back river boat trip), the balloons would often find their way out of my bag. I tried not to interfere with the "authentic cultural experience" everyone was there for, but sometimes my natural instinct took over. I got sick eating fish from venders by the Chinese Fish nets in Cochi... then we took off for Munnar for a few days. We returned to Chochi for a 2-week a detox ayurveda retreat (after we ate that fish I felt I was already cleansed of everything). Then we went south and had a better backwater adventure. We ended our time with about two months in Goa. We had hoped to see cave temples before returning to the States, but when everything closed down in March we were "Prisoners in Paradise." They closed all the shops, restaurants, grocery stores... we weren't afraid of catching the virus since there weren't any cases in our area but we were never sure we could find food. That led to some fun adventures sneaking around town to find anyone who would sell us food and snacks and sneaking into the ocean for swimming every day (since we had about the distance of a football field between us and the nearest other people we figured we had plenty of social distance for safety). We booked three flights to get back home and they were all cancelled. Finally the US Embassy arranged for a bus to Mumbai and a flight back to the US (we haven't gotten the bill yet, but it will be coming) and we joined about 300 other Americans to Atlanta, Georgia where Annie and I rented a car and drove about 12-hrs non-stop back home. We've been feeling pretty isolated here ever since.... This page of yours is giving us some good smiles. Wishing you the best.
That old couple was the best thing on this tour, ofcourse it was you as well dale but they really were an awesome couple and so happy even at this age.
@@nikinmdzambare581 They are not that type of people. They would continue enjoying their lives while sharing their love with others. And if their channel took off they could use the extra money to help others if they had no need for it or just enable them to travel more often and that helps more people that live off tourism. And those people are suffering big time for the last year and no end in sight as it might be 2-3yrs before fully back to normal.
Because guides are guides they act according to their mood. They need to be in mood to entertain people. Meet them when they are so much happy. I think that guide was not a professional guide. Professional guides know tricks and have different talents.
Do visit after the covid season.. Everything will vary from place to place city to city that is the beauty of india.. The food and ambience is different from the video in another district in same state... I don't like the way people got dead on the video it's not the proper style in where I leave...
Do visit if you like. Our home is not without its flaws but you'll have a good time. Prepare yourself and try to befriend a native who can guide you.❤️
@@illuminatus2945 They are mostly (if not all) lethally toxic and extremely curious. However they have small mouths and are back fanged and rarely aggressive or strike happy. If one does bite you envenomation is rare because its difficult getting the back fangs into you. Mostly they're just happy to explore your body and equipment when diving.
This serving method is used almost everywhere in India. The reason behind that is that the food should not be wasted . They serve small portions multiple times so that you can have how much you want . With huge portions many people waste a lot of food and food in considered equivalent to god in the country so wasting it is very rude 😅 hope this bit of info is helpful and like always the vlog is amazing! Cheers !
In my humble opinion, this guy’s videos have to be used as a reminder to the department of tourism/ other tour operators who are so naive (apparently) to think that Western tourists would just love to sit on a stuffed boat full of tourists and ‘enjoy’ a backwater cruise, as if they wouldn’t find backwaters anywhere else! In India people seem to categorise tourists into two - budget backpackers, or ‘rich’ tourists. They don’t seem to realise that most tourists lie in between these two categories. Oh and tour guides like the one here should be just, sitting at home I guess.
@@jayrashtrahindavi2089 That's a bit dramatic. Kerala is fantastic, the food is terrific and the people absolutely charming colourful and welcoming. We self-drove around Kerala and stayed in some dreamy places. We also did lots of walking in areas around our hotels, found fantastic beaches, fascinating culture including incredible theatre. I would absolutely go to Kerala. Just avoid the tourist pitfalls like this trip seen here. For one week we stayed in a lovely beach cottage right on the beach, had our own cook and cleaner. We ate fresh fish caught same morning for lunch from a small fishing boat and net, delicious fruits. Our chef would ask us what we would like for the day offering suggestions. All our food served to our dinning table on our own cool breezy veranda. I have incredible memories bird watching and fish spotting, some beautiful fish live in the water ways and coastal pools....... anyway you get the idea. A trip on the backwaters is just one of the things to do, it doesn't make or break a stay in Kerala but if you are careful it will definitely enhance. While it is dreamily relaxing for a few days drfiting on the backwaters in a house boat it's also not absolutely essential..A backwater "tour" is certainly not a must do either.
The guide wasn't even that bad, in my opinion. He was educating everyone quite thoroughly about everything to the best of his abilities. I'm not sure what else you could ask of him. He's not entertaining but he does his job adequately.
Dale, Over the past years I've posted videos of my shows and of shows by friends (puppeteers and dancers as well as others). I've used UA-cam just for fun. I've never looked at how many subscribers signed up... after your post here I suddenly I see hundreds. Now I'm thinking of digging up old videos of my shows in the Outback of Australia, of trips Annie and I have taken performing street theatre in Paris, New Orleans, and theaters and festivals around the world. Maybe I'll start posting some of them? Since live performances are off the table for the next 6-12 months... I have lots of time to play with this now. Thanks for opening this door. I look forward to seeing more of your postings.
Great idea. Share the happiness. If you have some basic video editing skills you can add some narration at the beginning of the video telling the story of the situation, then leading into the performance, or voiceover parts of the performance. Try out different formats like that and see what works best for you and what viewers like to watch. 😎👍
Wow, the balloon artist is an amazing guy! He stole the show. Great to see such a fun couple from my country. This episode would've been boring without them.
I thought the clown balloon thing was pretty cool... made me laugh... but had it gone on for more than 5 minutes I would have been cringing I'm sure... not your typical Dale video, but still nice to see some variety
no dude, if anyone wont criticize then they will never improve. imagine if your teacher gave 100% marks to Everyone every time. eveyone would be happy but no one would improve.
Dale - You chose a wrong guided tour. The food was just a basic vegetarian meal, Usually you should get a 3-5 course Non-veg meal especially with Pearlspot Fish. That was the specially of Alleppy. I would recommend to you to be a lonely explorer in Kerala and you would be amazed with the hospitality of the people. Looks to me this guided tour package was just to exploit the tourists.
My goodness, that grandma and grandpa are my favorites. Dude they knew so much and were so informed about local food from youtube videos. BTW i am from kerala thanks grandma, grandpa for visiting.
Life is also short not to find truth in other wonderful people eyes. When you paid attention to that man or clown you made his day. His eyes glistened and widened. You did a good thing that day.
It's just karma. That is why you should treat tourists with love and affe in so that they remember it and share their beautiful experience to others. I would definitely visit Sri Lanka someday. Dale already has spoken about Sri Lanka so many times that i am convinced to have a beautiful experience there 😊❤️
sinhals treat tourists better than srilankan tamils?.....are you proud of jaffna library burning,black july and ethnic tamil genocide in the name of buddhism?

Another amazing vlog Dale. Specially when you support Sri Lanka in your comments is to the next level. I'm from Batticaloa , the bicycle tour with flat tire you did is one of your best video ever. Keep up the good job Dale 👍
I feel that you were SCAMMED by the Alleppey Backwaters Cruise operator. The boat ride was super slow and you weren't taken to some of the exotic places of Alleppey
3 things...location,package and guide...cruise is provided at different points in alapuzha...the hotel in which you stay may offer this service,or even some farms you visit..all of them does cruise but covers different location 🤷..or in some lucky and rare cases..the locals you meet might offer good ones with awesome view that even the most costly cruise package won't provide...that's why pre-booking stuff without a research is as good as shit..if one shows the attitude of just came for the sake of it..that is what you can expect in return..money is not the issue..you need to go out meet people...and tell them what you expect to experiance...ask any local kid or teenager you find on road..the best guides..
I love this guys full aspergers and just hilariously unintentional rudeness. It's amazing he doesn't get punched out, so fun to watch. You're a legend Dale.
Hey Dale...you mentioned about the genuinity of most Sri Lankans that you've met. As an aside,...in my opinion, you got the same thing outta' your new friend; the balloon guy (and his wife). He TRULY looked like he was having a blast, and took pleasure in trying to make other people smile/be happy!! You may have heard an 'ole expression (to the effect of): good, attracts good!
the most interesting in that cruise that happen is..that UNCLE performing balloon trick..love his energy and his way of speaking..i hope he is doing well
The best part of the video was the American guy who showed some magic with balloons Really loved that moment as he captured all my attention ❤ Reminded of old days when I was a kid wherein magician used to show some tricks and i used to get amazed how did he really do it
Fab Vid Dale, loved the journey you was on, not just the backwaters, but the entertaining American couple too, that guy certainly knew how to handle a ballon or two, was a bonus for us all. Thank you kindly for sharing the wonderful backwaters of Kerela and it’s beauty and hospitality. ❤️ Kerela. 🙏 Peace & love to all in India.🙏 From: Mark & the family in the UK 🇬🇧
@Allynn Gooen simply extraordinary couple you are. I was literally falling asleep due to the 2 bit effort this tour company put in (no offense Dale) and then you two come along into the picture and suddenly it is a masterpiece. Thank you and namaste :)
I reaallyyyyyy love the vibe of the man wearing rainbow tie-diy !!! He made sure to learn important things bout the culture before coming to my beautiful state 🥰
I like your vlogs its like as if I myself going through this places(that feeling when we go to a new strange place where we don't belong, being cautious,at the same time enjoying with some obstacle ,being health conscious ),beautifully expressing the instant thoughts, the urge to experience the atmost ,overall this makes great vlog keep going .... Keep it up.... Stay safe....

3 things...location,package and guide...cruise is provided at different points in alapuzha...the hotel in which you stay may offer this service,or even some farms you visit..all of them does cruise but covers different location 🤷..or in some lucky and rare cases..the locals you meet might offer good ones with awesome view that even the most costly cruise package won't provide...that's why pre-booking stuff without a research is as good as shit..if one shows the attitude of just came for the sake of it..that is what you can expect in return..money is not the issue..you need to go out meet people...and tell them what you expect to experiance...ask any local kid or teenager you find on road..the best guides..
I feel like same. Haven't seen real beauty of Alleppey anywhere in this video. Hope you guys are not paid a lot for this Joke🤦🏻♂️
Bro how much will they charge for this exotic ride?
A bunch of exploiters 😞
I feel the same..... Why oru people do this to guests .......
That balloon guy is real awsome he should be on youtube!
I love this guys full aspergers and just hilariously unintentional rudeness. It's amazing he doesn't get punched out, so fun to watch. You're a legend Dale.
A lot of love with respect from kochin Kerala.. thank you brother
You didn't get proper tour package brother.
The older couple is Soo sweet!!
Thank you hundred times my friend for your nice recommendation about my little country Srilanka. I never miss your videos. It's sure enjoyment.
Man, am I glad I came across your channel!
This is a very old one! Love all your videos, dont stop being you! Our man is the top dog of travelling videos!
so sweet and friendly the American Couple
they are so nice and humble people, you met on the dining table, Dale. they can bring smile to anyone's face.
Oh man, that American guy is so entertaining 🤣
🇮🇳
Kerala😍✌️👍🔥
I think Dale the only guy who was hearing the guide's instructions clearly🙌
Glad to see the content still flowing 😃
Greetings from a vlogger stuck in Eastern Europe ✌
Damn, i really need to learn some balloon tricks! They were actually a really cool couple despite the elephant pants 😂 great video as always dale
Even the boat man knows more science than I know..I think he should be sitting in the exam hall instead of me
🙈🤣
🤣🤣🤣
Wow dale that that foreigner doing the balloons trick is finally awesome. We are enjoying that vlog
Lots of love from India .Wellcome you brother
i would had snoozed off listening to the guide...
me too... but all of a sudden he got interesting when he did the string spinning thing
ok
exactly... he's just one bloody scamster
"How did you get up there?"
Dale - "I climbed" (!)
Sarcasm on point 😂😂
Hey Dale...you mentioned about the genuinity of most Sri Lankans that you've met. As an aside,...in my opinion, you got the same thing outta' your new friend; the balloon guy (and his wife). He TRULY looked like he was having a blast, and took pleasure in trying to make other people smile/be happy!! You may have heard an 'ole expression (to the effect of): good, attracts good!
What an awesome couple!! He reminds me of my T.M. teacher here in the states, binge watching all of your videos Dale! You are the best! Peace
Loved our trip! We just filmed our own backwater cruise too 🎉
One like for that American dude 😂 he's incredible
@@Sniperboy5551I’ll go with you 😂
Great video - I'm sure Allynn has brought a lot of smiles to the faces of the kids he meets!
Hey Dale, I hope you enjoyed your time in India.
Love from India🇮🇳🖤
the most interesting in that cruise that happen is..that UNCLE performing balloon trick..love his energy and his way of speaking..i hope he is doing well
The best part of the video was the American guy who showed some magic with balloons
Really loved that moment as he captured all my attention ❤
Reminded of old days when I was a kid wherein magician used to show some tricks and i used to get amazed how did he really do it
Fab Vid Dale, loved the journey you was on, not just the backwaters, but the entertaining American couple too, that guy certainly knew how to handle a ballon or two, was a bonus for us all. Thank you kindly for sharing the wonderful backwaters of Kerela and it’s beauty and hospitality. ❤️ Kerela. 🙏
Peace & love to all in India.🙏

Lmfaooo
Haha
@sasanka ghosh Same thought lol
Lmao, this guide made me fall asleep during the video, so I had to go back and struggle through his lecture twice 😂😂
Rest in peace Colin we shall remember u 🙏 🤣🤣🤣
@Allynn Gooen simply extraordinary couple you are. I was literally falling asleep due to the 2 bit effort this tour company put in (no offense Dale) and then you two come along into the picture and suddenly it is a masterpiece. Thank you and namaste :)
Loved the elderly lady's eating skills with her hand. Clumsy, yet lovely for trying her best.
I reaallyyyyyy love the vibe of the man wearing rainbow tie-diy !!! He made sure to learn important things bout the culture before coming to my beautiful state 🥰
dale, thanks for promoting Sri Lanka. hope you having a great time in south india

I like your vlogs its like as if I myself going through this places(that feeling when we go to a new strange place where we don't belong, being cautious,at the same time enjoying with some obstacle ,being health conscious ),beautifully expressing the instant thoughts, the urge to experience the atmost ,overall this makes great vlog keep going .... Keep it up.... Stay safe....
Very Nice. I enjoyed this video :). The american couple really left you with a warm felling in the heart. Its the simple pleasures in life :)
