Kolkata's Most Expensive Cup of Chai 🇮🇳 

Love to Kolkata from Athens 🇬🇷🇮🇳❤

Chris is like telling every food item he is having as bhalo teaaaaaa....😅

I love how they just learnt a word of Bengali and they use it in every conversation 😭😂 wholesome bhalo tea for rich was hilarious but i hope the locals will understand they are new and will help them by teaching new new words

So you guys greeted everyone with "nice tea" 😂

These two guys are friendly and mixing with local people with so easily this shows how much kolkata people love and cooperate with foreigners Sam

Tip: Rather than asking the shop owners which product/item is their favourite, ask them which product is popular/in demand/best selling with local customers.

You two are the nicest guys ❤️❤️I am an Anglo Indian and I was born in Calcutta almost 70 years ago and migrated to Melbourne Australian in 1971, still miss the place of my birth! Travel safe and enjoy India and it’s wonderful food.

Being a Bengali I love to see that you guys want to learn a Bengali word and applied it everywhere with a smile 😍 how nice you both 🤗🤗 love from Kolkata ❤❤❤❤ Plzz Do visit Again 🙏

Try to visit Darjeeling...its known as queen of hills ...im sure you gonna love that place

I'm so glad Chris and Max that you guys came to Kolkata... Eagerly waiting for your Kolkata tour vlogs... I hope you have had a nice and safe stay in Kolkata 😀

Hey Chris - your Hindi is quite good! Impressive. Just a tip for Bengali. In Bengali good is "bhalo" not "bhalo tea". Bhalo tea will literally translate into "Good tea".

You both guys are very kind helping people god bless you

5:22 'Bhalo ' means 'Good' . If you like anything ( it can be food or anything) you may say ' Bhalo ' or ' Sundor ' . 16:38 'Rice' means 'Chaal' in Bengali .

Hey Chris! Glad to see you hop around in my city! BTW People in Kolkata speak and understand Hindi too. Feel free to use the language to avoid getting charged more.

Both of you should travel North East of India, you will not regret it. It's a totally different culture, food, and language, you will love it. September to December is considered to be a good time for this area. The nearest airport is Bagdogra.

Chrisss lots of love from Kolkata🧡🧡🧡 Was waiting for these vlogs 🥹❤️❤️

One shopkeeper cheated them without any hesitance what so ever - which depicts a very bad image of any place , on the other hand another business man sitting on road but showed what honesty is by giving the balance back just out of his normal practice … makes me feel because of the latter , our society is still balanced and never judge by seeing just one side !!! God bless ..

Professional reasons aside, it is surprising as well as commendable how you guys have taken to local street foods in India. Many Desis themselves throw tantrums these days.

the most expensive cup of tea in Calcutta is priced at Rs. 1000/- per cup. At a tea stall in Mukundapur on the southeast fringes of Calcutta

Bengal has a whole different culture from the rest of India. It has more of a "live and let live" vibe. You may Google and know more about the city. It might be to your surprise, but even the first pride parade of South Asia was held in Kolkata in the year of 1999.

I like how Max mentioned about getting more three cups of tea.😂😂 He is so much more Indian than an any other Indian, Desi Chris being introvert and hesitant on getting more cups of chai😂

You guys sound so cute saying "Susshadoo" for delicious 😂 We don't use these words that much. We just say "bhaalo". It means good. You can use it for anything. Good - bhaalo Not good - bhaalo na very good - khuub bhaalo

Tht small tip gave the rice man a really happy smile, great work man and an awsome upload as usual 💚

this guy is so kind hearted

😂😂😂😂 max is so jealous of Chris right now coz he got a full cup and max got 17 Rupee worth of chai. Love you guys.... from Pakistan 🇵🇰

0:21 I think they wanted to say " Susadu" (delicious in Bengali) or "swadist" (same in Hindi) । But the accent is quite cute ।❤ Hey Love from West Bengal 😊

People are too generous, like it. Keep going...

Both of u come to NE... Arunachal pradesh, meghalaya, Assam...u will like it.... Very honest and friendly people out there... U kinda people will surely enjoy a lifetime 😊😊

You guys are just incredible. I am just amazed to see how easily you guys are mingling with local people without knowing anything about the language. Salute to you.

Hats off to you 2 for doing this in such hot and humid climate.

Oo Max and Chris you both are so good 👍 man and too much humble , kindly 😊

Hi Chris & Max. How long are you guys in Kolkata. I have been following you guys from your Kolkata Vlogs and really want to meet you guys some day. You both are awesome 🔥👍🏻.Since i am staying in Kolkata for quite some time now, will be able to guide a bit. Please let me if we can catch up☺️. Also want to take you guys to some of the famous eateries of the city☺️. Will be my treat😃.

"Bhalo" only means delicious, Chris. Both of you are amazing.

Chris please do visit north-eastern part of India you will absolutely love it. Completely different vibes and delicious food. Highly recommended

so heres the thing kolkata went through its own renaissance type era very early and was at a time one of the most developed educated cities and played key role during indias independence. thats why the attitude of the kolkata folks is so different from the rest of the country.

Are you guys still in Kolkata? Do you have an itinerary for the stay or would you like some recommendations?

Tomorrow I have the exam, I have some responsibilities now...... But I am falling in love with my lovely city Kolkata.... Kolkata has its own rhythm man...

This is only Rs 5/7 per cup of tea, he looted you for Rs 20 per cup

Do try "Fish kabiraji" It's a kolkata special fish dish and it tastes like heaven.. The shop's name is "Mitro Cafe" in a area named Shovabajar... The fish is basically coated with a very interesting batter and then it's fried and if you can please please please try to see how they make the dish I am sure it will be very interesting for you to see.... And thank you for appreciating kolkata sweets so much 😊😊😊😊

I really hope 1M subscribers very very soon lovely vlog ❤❤❤❤

Love from North East Assam ❤❤

How did you learn the language so well in just 4 visits? 😮 I’m pretty sure you just go for about 2 weeks at a time. Just 8 weeks to learn the language. 😮 I am so impressed 👏

Welcome to kolkata the people of kolkata are very help full.

You can try bhog (lunch served at temple )from any temple or Ashram..

Hello chris bro i have been watching ur vlogs from a long time.. i love everything about you... Please if you have time then try to come north east arunachal pradesh india..m sure u will love our culture n everything ❤❤ especially the food😊❤

Bhalo Tea ( Good Tea)...Bhalo means Good in Bengali

We love you max. We feel just like UR our our family guy... 🇮🇳🇮🇳

Rock on guys...luv ur video..frm Malaysia

Hey Chris ❤, Good/accha( Hindi ) means in Bengali only bhalo (ভালো). Tea ☕ means in Bengali cha / চা. Delicious/tasty means in Bengali sussadu/सुस्सादु . Love from Kolkata bro and Max also . 🎉❤

Meanwhile Chris trying to find the MRP on the bottle turning it round and round: Kidhar hai kidhar hai yaar😂

Foreigners really need preparation for tour India but these guys are masters ❤❤❤

Loving the Kolkata Vlogs

Chris got so Indian that he shakes his head too😂 lovely 1:42

Chris and max have a big heart ❤

If you haven't been to nahuns in new market already then please do because that's one of the oldest confectionery I like 3 things from there the biscuit with strawberry jam on it, the muffin with caramelised sugar on top and the brownie,

Lesson: before buying ask people about pricing who are having tea or something else, Indian sellers should not do like this with our guests

I'm from Pakistan but I love india because india is our father 🙏😊❤️

❤my beautiful bengali culture and my innocent bengali ppl. Love you both of you. And thank you for buying rice from him. He is a bengali selling rice .

Greetings from a Bengali from Mumbai (I work in Mumbai)!!! I am sooo happy that you visited West Bengal !! ❤❤❤🥰 Please do visit again !!

……valotee………. that was so hilarious…. and you guys kept saying that over and over 😂 I’m sure you’ve figured out that there’s nothing called “valotee” Love your vlogs

Valo tea means good tea and the word valo means good the word sushadhu also means good but it is the pure form of bengali ami mainly used in case of food like some kind of solid thing.... Valo is a local language... In bengali there are a lot of variations..... Some other words of good are - fata fati ( very good) bapok(mind blowing) darun (good) sera (good) ufff lovely ( most delicious)

Hi Chris.. love your video ss.. next time please visit Goa ❤️

Lot's of love from Mangalore India.

Bhalo means good! Tea is cha! So essentially meaning the tea tastes good. Shuswadu is more written Bengali or old fashioned one than spoken one. Maybe he has a lesser price for old people or locals! Idk really I don't know what to say about street prices for tea. I feel tea should be more expensive than 5 Rs for all who can afford to pay for it. One time I paid minimal amount for some street vendor bhelpuri and felt that i should have given him more, because his food tasted so good, and there's many other things that I have thought but yet haven't done anything about except write on these. I also have many more thoughts than just this about street food. Will post on my own sites some day. But maybe just think about this- when you buy something from a street food vendor in US, have you ever questioned their price, on whether they are cheating you? Can they have some price for regular daily customers vs another for an occasional visitor? Or when you use coupons to buy such food, street or restaurant ones, or even grocery shop, do you feel cheated if you paid 20$ for some food and some one with a coupon paid 15$ or 5$ for the same thing in US/India? Or do you ask McDonald's why their already cheap food is too high priced and why they charge so much for one customer who bought one item vs another who used a combo meal pack ( in US Mcdonald's is cheap food, while In India McDonald's is average to high priced)? But even though in 2 different countries the segment they cater to is different, the food quality is worse in both countries- in US because poor cheap food is used- which could have chemical pesticide contaminations, and other hormonal and chemical problems in non veg /veg food. While in India all cheap to high end food is currently contaminated with chemicals, in many food chains from street vendors to high end ones, simply because unawareness about food, health and how our collective purchase choices impact our food or any food industry. If McDonald's gives a coupon for sale or product buying packages, no one will question them, but we all have a tendency to question street vendors who are the lowest in the totem pole of hospitality industry. Those people who are street vendors not because they enjoy the thug life, but mostly because they never had the money for any resturant, but they needed to feed themselves and their family; or even when they had the money they don't have initiative to open a larger, safer, cleaner place to sell. So them having the right ingredients to even make high quality food is nearly impossible too, especially if they keep selling it at a low price point, and if they don't have the education or experience or initiative to understand how to make their foods safer ( all of which is connected to poverty, education level, and even capacity to understand complex interconnected life & health & business problems). And people who can't afford more than 5Rs chai, should be their usual customers; while people like us who may have some additional funds to explore and eat other foods, should possibly try out such places for fun ocassionally only possibly. But this kind of eating shouldn't become a pattern for any of us having the earning potential to spend on better quality food. Why? Because unless we pay for the better quality, and take the initiatives to sustain those better quality food, those safe, healthy good food quality selling places also won't materialise for us. You know this street vendor likely doesn't earn much money from the 5 Rs chai he sells to many. And even if he does earn enough, his quality of life still is subpar, as Kolkata has many subpar living condition based problems. As do many cities of a developing country like India. It's still called a developing country as we haven't understood what development actually means even now, and the things Indians mimic about American culture currently aren't the things to sustain better health. While the things Indians have ignored are the same conditions that makes US a better country to live and same conditions that used to exist in India too ( & still exists in pockets of India) I have tried mentioning this previously too to you and Max in your combined vlogs, to be careful about the Street foods you are exploring, the water content in them or other things generally used in India, make them very unsafe even for Indians to consume. And if any Indian or foreigner consumes multiple toxins from multiple sources regularly from going to different places or cities, they have the potential to get severely ill, depending on what contamination happened and the combined synergistic impact on the body over time ( both from street to high end place food or stay or travel modes used). Take care about what you consume, and not just via the Street foods. As the problems with food, health and hygeine related factors have increased in ways humans currently not working or thinking about health or chemical biochemical processes inside our bodies, understand or care to reflect about. But that doesn't stop people from getting sick, if enough conditions for those exist in our life. And even though I have the knowledge, I am as sick as anyone else not aware of why they are sick, because some of the contaminations can't be stopped in India unless people wake up to them and their long term harms. This is problem with food and travel is as true in US as it is in India (or any country of the world), because US has it's own set of problems specific to local systems in place and usage of things that end up polluting our food, water, air, etc.globally. And then all of them eventually impact our health, especially the health of those who travel and are exposed to more health harming things. Part of the suggestions for reflection or changing how we travel is from my personal travel experiences, personal health experiences; as well as work ones in different food and health industry related aspects of work that I have done in the past. And even to stay healthy at a minimal level, I had to go through many phases of poor health from contaminated or health harming foods ( water, air, clothes, etc.) in India and US both. A problem you will eventually understand once you start listening to all the symptoms and signals your body is sending you. And without understanding your own health, you can't understand how to keep it better and healthier long term for yourself or anyone you care about. I really love all your vlogs that come on my feed. And I am not a subscriber. But the reason I get your vlogs are because I write on topics about healthcare and preventative care, and also business- and human interest topics- and some of your vlogs are simplest ways to help people exploring travel, living on budget, traveling on budget, or running businesses, that if everything we do in life isn't aligned in some right ways, it causes health issues of different kinds for each of us collectively doing those activities. Ok it's a long post already. Hope this gives you and your subscribers, some food for thought. Take care.

nothing can beat milkos that drink is legendary to me

I have visited these exact places many times , although I could not meet these people in real life ,still glad to see them exploring

Your Bengali is better than mine brother... Very good mean👉 Boka chondo👈 in Bengali, try this, people will go crazy Thank me latar 😊🥳

3:51 Oo chuna laga diya 😂😹 4:24 expression 😂 hilarious 😆

You guys , you are really friendly and good . You are Welcome.

Max has a great sense of humour 😂

I think the taxi driver’s cup was smaller ie @ Rs 5/. Bigger cup costs I think maybe more for Rs 10 n Rs 10 for Bengali lesson.

Did you try the new school Bengali sweets like chhena toast ? Do try it. Also did you know the common yellow mustard sauce is a commonly used Bengali condiment ? Must try it also.

Hope you are having a great time in Kolkata, are you still in Kolkata? The tea shop owner overcharged, saw your short videos on facebook, those were great

Chris you can talk in normal hindi in bengal bcoz every bengali speaking understand hindi
