The final day in Goa. Breakfast, a last ride on the Royal Enfield, finding a new beach and I share my final thoughts on India.

India is the best country in the world by far. Some comments here are from people that have never been there. You may have clean streets, but you have little of anything else. You have to experience India… not believe a story you tell yourself because you see rubbish on the street. Thats conditioning. What India has most of the rest of the world lost a long time ago.

I am sure that I might not enjoy going there as much as I enjoyed watching these videos. The videography is top notch, the most simplest things were presented in a fantastic way. I wondered how Monica is filming these with a steady hand (probably a gimbal)! But the credit goes to her. Welcome to India whenever you wanna be back. 😌🙏🏼 *Hope the littering problem subsides in near future. I'm sick of it but it was a thousands of years old habit of throwing away leaves used for packing or other bio-degradable organic waste, no harm. It is hard to control half-a-billion people who still not realised the harms of plastic waste ever since plastic is being used here widely from the past 35 years.

A well known British tourist company ripped off several local hotels and they will no longer deal with them. This has dramatically reduced Brits staying in the area you were. Secondly the Russians seem to be far less present over the last two years. And finally the holiday season is Nov to Mar ,so you are right at the end of it.

I really love music of following places in India: Kerala, Goa, West Bengal and Mizoram. I have a playlist of 45 Goan songs I like. Even though Mizoram is part of India it feels like a foreign country. The youth there don't speak Hindi/Urdu and they speak Mizo. Their English is slightly better than Koreans. Nobody honks or jumps lanes and the cars stop for pedestrians. Their music is excellent and it sounds like US music of 1970s. My favorite Mizo songs from various years are following: 1) Kimkima: I zun ngaih (2019) 2) Sangtei Khuptong and K Hminga: Awm lo tala (2020) 3) Cassettes: E Khai (2021) 4) Zaii Hauchhum and Vanlalhmangaiha: Hmangaihte Hmangaihna (2022) 5) Saiwanah and Mary Dawngi: Ka Pa Khuma (2023) I have following Mizo playlists: 1) 25 Artists 25 Songs 2) Mizo Top 75 3) Mizo 460 songs I like.

Very nice! Freddie, I wouldn't worry about your "International Licence". It is really just an International Drivers Permit [IDP] issued under one of three UN Conventions [1926/'49/'68] and in some countries can issued by an Automobile Club. Your UK RAC can no longer do this since Brexit.... You can get away - in many countries - with just your foreign licence and no IDP. I've been caught speeding a number of times without one and usually let off with a warning only. But, you "should" get one for Sri Lanka if only for rental ease and peace of mind. From my understanding and minor infringement experience, there is no closed loop "licence" functionality back to home. If any country were to annotate or withdraw my IDP, I'd just "lose" it and grab another.

*Dear Freddie,* You know despite visiting India your channel doesn’t grow in viewership. You know why? There are couple of reasons::: 1. If you start your India trip by showing Slums in Mumbai, you will be seen as someone promoting poverty tourism. A big NO. 2. If you lament the loss of Christians from Goa from some 80% 300 years to 25% today, without even bothering to tell your audience how those Hindus/Indians were converted into Christianity in the very first place, you will seen as an apologist of missionaries, who even Mahatma Gandhi labelled as Vultures. 3. If you regret that those churches don’t have many worshippers, and remain oblivious to the fact that very many of those churches were built on destroying even more beautiful temples, then you will be seen as a closet colonist yourself, not to mention how riddled your parlance was with terms like colonial this, colonial that, colonial-style-architecture etc. Even though I have seen your RE videos from the past, but something didn’t click this time. May be that’s just me. In nutshell, you won’t gain much of Indian viewership for your channel. 🙏🙏

Police in Asia are always something. I remember in Vietnam I was following my then girlfriend to a restaurant on a 110 cc honda like everybody rides and she turned left on a traffic light about to change to red and I had to turn left after her when it was clearly red. There were hundreds of people stopped at that light and the only traffic rule you do follow in Vietnam are traffic lights. So as I ignored the light I saw about 7 or so policemen just by the the side of the road and they didn’t even look at me. A friend later told me he hated was because Im a foreigner and they do t know a word of english. So wven if they stopped me they wouldn’t know what to do with me. Riding in Vietnam is pure freedom.

Very similar to the UK in respect of the rubbish but their roads seem far better than the UK's. And of course if you were stopped in the UK for speeding they would have thrown the book at you for all the failures on that bike!!!
