You are curious like a child and its really a blessing now a days people are just hanging out with their phones rather than hanging out with real people ❤ your videos are quality content but i suggest you to visit historical places because you are in rajasthan ( most part of indian history came from that state)
Thanks so much, akshit. I want to look at the world in wonder, and be excited by life even if I appear somewhat childish in the process. I will take you suggestion of visiting historical sites onboard and thank you for offering your opinion. Cheers.
Yes but look.... Health is more important becoz in India and in Rajasthan leg should be good and proper for visiting historical place then suggest, becoz i 👀 in his video that leg get tired and if he trie then........ ....???
The difference between a Chapati & a puri or poori is in the cooking. A chapati is cooked without any oil over a hot pan/flame, a Puri is deep fried in oil. Puri & some sabzi/subji (veg curry) is really common for brekky.
Ah, that makes things much clearer. mathew. Thanks for explaining the difference as there seems to be many different types of rotis all closely resembling each other - at least it seems like that to me. Appreciate you taking the time as always. Cheers.
Thank you, sachin. It doesn't take much to consider and appreciate other people, I think. This always makes for warm interaction and friendliness, I have found. Thank you for taking the time to say hello.
We would love to see more about India and Indians through your perspective. You are a very kind and enthusiastic man. Have a safe and enjoyable trip in India mate. Love from Mumbai❤️
If there is anything I fear about coming to India, it's what you touched in the video, the fear of getting food poisoned. 😆 Ofc, this will not hinder me for visiting the country in the future, but its something that i need to be prepared of. Otherwise, awesome content Wayne, as usual. I really love you going around, being kind to people and trying out food. You brightened my grim cold rainy day in Sweden, and now suddenly im happy with a smile on my face. You're now officially my favorite vloger on youtube! Keep it up my great friend!
I'm really flattered. Thank you. The street food can definitely be a risk, and it would be foolish to suggest otherwise, UC. I think you can bring the risk down greatly by taking a few simple precautions. And I feel you're more likely to get Giardia, or a similar gut parasite than food poisoning which is quite simple to treat, and not long lasting if diagnosed quickly. I recently met a Danish couple who unfortunately spent a few uncomfortable days and some medical expenses with food poisoning but they weren't particularly careful where they were eating from what I can tell. The prospect of having a kind of stomach problem like a few loose stools, a few cramps, that type of thing is likely. Getting anything worse shouldn't be concerning, in my opinion if you're careful. Of course, we can't control everything/ Always good to see, UC. I hope you're soon on the force if not already. Cheers.
@UrielCopy : About the getting food poisoning/upset stomach issue while eating out street food in any place including India is that it is all about your gut and its biome, i.e. the beneficial bacteria that everybody carry in their guts, which play important role in digestion of food one eats. Any person who is traveling to a new place will have trouble digesting local food since the body will be lacking such beneficial bacteria of the new place within their body, and it is the reason people get upset stomach in the first place. As another person suggest in another comment, it is a good idea to have Indian Curd/yoghurt first thing you land in India. You try out local street food atleast two or three days after that. Don't try too many things on your first day eating out. Give your body time to adjust with the new environment and your guts to develop that necessary biome. Do be careful to avoid drinking any water while eating street foods and only drink packaged water which in India is actually very cheap and available everywhere. Also avoid cut fruits and salads selling outside. Try to eat only the things which are cooked. Avoid Onion and Salads given along with the foods, atleast for first few days (though avoid totally if you find it may not have been handled hygienically). This way you can really enjoy your travel along with all the diverse good food in India, which is as vibrant as it's people. Venture out and travel with open mind, just use common sense, have fun, I bet you too will love India.
@@UrielCopy I actually see a lot of comments regarding this particular concern and always thought to write this as advice for people who want to really venture out and have fun but fear the potential hazards, which though not unfounded, but is bit over emphasized. The right approach and a little bit of caution mixed with common sense is all that people need. India is vast and diverse and the people are generally warm and helpful. You will really be astounded by what the country can offer for travelers. Do your research before you go. There is lots to see. Enjoy
Hi whitelines. it's the first time I've experienced these types of breakfasts. They're really a light tasty way to start the day. I hope Goa is treating you well. Thanks for dropping by.
Thank you sir just your kind people know that traveling is the best experience it's not just fun but the oxygen of bliss and you'll be inspiration of all senior citizen including me after sometime that how we can explore to our soul May you live long 🎉❤️
You're obviously a very generous man. yourself, Kartik, thank you so much. I'm hoping to upgrade my equipment so as to improve the viewing experience for people - I hope I'm able to do that soon. My greatest thanks again, Kartik.
That's very generous of you Kartik. It isn't easy being a start-up RU-vid travel vlogger. We need to stick to a strict budget during our travels. Most RU-vid travel vloggers don't have a healthy bank account but we do our best. Have a Happy & Prosperous 2024 and your family too. Jai Bharat!🙏🙏
@@TravelingEddie Likewise! appreciate your best wishes. And that's definitely understandable. Hence I was hesitant to even bring it up haha. Subbed to your channel too! love Indian travel adventures.
That's a puri not a chapati for sure difference is puri is something which is small in size and deep fried puff with air and chapati/roti is roasted on pan with lil oil or ghee in bigger size with brown roasted spots on it.
I have my uncle who stays in Australia too…he lives in Sydney and you somewhat remind me of him…😊 but you are more courageous to travel to unique and new places unlike him despite being born in India would be afraid travelling like you…
Hey, dreamcreate, good to see you. It's comments like yours that makes it worthwhile - that people might somehow enjoy my bumbling about is kind of strange, but very motivating and satisfying. Thanks as always for taking the time to pass on your thoughts, they're always appreciated. Cheers.
Tipping is common in restaurants but even in restaurants “service charge” is included. If you see such a charge on your receipt then do not tip unless you really think it is needed.
@@fiascodagama1 no worries. I can imagine the confusion. I also get confused while traveling to a foreign land. There was a judgement passed by High Court on renaming the “service charge' to 'staff contribution' with a 10% cap. I can imagine one cannot fight about it but something to be aware of. Enjoy your stay in India.
14:00 The last thing which you were trying to figure out in the last part of your video is called Jaggery which is a form of unrefined sugar made by heating and evaporating sugarcane juice. The softer version that the seller was cutting has a little bit more water left on it, while the harder versions which were piled to the right has most of the water evaporated and is crystallined. Jaggery is usually used in making other sweet dishes, just like you would use sugar. Jaggery is also made from other syrups like palm tree syrup which has more distinct flavours. Different palm tree syrup is used for different flavor and texture and its used in cooking. Happy traveling.
13:50 The local guy sitting on the scooter says irritably that he doesn't know about the thing. But that cannot be true unless he was born or dropped unto India that same day. That thing is jaggery. It is made by boiling sugarcane juice until it becomes super thick.
I have to admit I thought the man seemed to be a little grumpy, I guess we all have those days. Thanks for explaining the process of making jaggery, umeshketan.
Ha! At least I know what Jaggery is now. I look forward to Gujurat and a new interesting place to see with no doubt equally interesting people. Thanks, matthew.
I think it's the greatest show on earth for a traveler. It's impossible to travel through India and not be affected by it in some way, which is what travel should be (for me, at least). Thanks for stopping by, MeMy.
Wayne, good to see you again ❤. Really looking for more from incredible India ❤. I agree with your thoughts on not getting ill by eating street food. ❤❤
Hi Ali, thanks for dropping by as always. Looking forward to moving on even though Udaipur has been great. So many places and so much to see here. Cheers.
@@fiascodagama1 My only tip if you do get a bit of dietary issues, is to consume yoghurt or kefir! That worked for me when I backpacked Turkey in 1988! I only ate yoghurt for 2 days and sips of bottled water! Got better quickly and I was off hiking again! 👍
@@bruce4130 Always willing to take the advice of old trail campaigners, bruce. I'll remember yoghurt and water diet should the event occur - which it probably will, let's face it.
I have to leave the country in 6 weeks so I return on the second part of my visa and was looking at Banladesh. It appears to be a very interesting place. Thanks.
Fantastic to witness someone embracing life to the fullest, regardless of age or background! It's incredibly heartening to see you, a seasoned traveler, fearlessly exploring and enjoying street food in India. Your adventurous spirit and open-mindedness truly showcase the unity of our global community. Your vlogs are not just entertaining but also inspiring, reminding us that the world is boundless, and experiences know no boundaries. Keep up the great work, and keep spreading those positive vibes!
G’dday Wayne…Have been watching a few of your videos and am happy to see you getting excited over what you are encountering in India…..Keep up the good travel stuff….If u r coming to Bombay(now Mumbai) gimme a shout, wud love to show you around in Mumbai….BTW, u had Dal Pakwaan in 1 of your Udaipur video….let me tell you Dal is lentil stew and a staple diet of all Indians available in more than 365 varieties and Pakwaan was the stiff bread which is deep fried, more crispier than a Papad(Poppadum)…..
Hey espee, really appreciate you offering some clarity for me on the food, it's all quite new for me. Your invitation to show me around Mumbai is a most generous one and I'd like to thank you for that. I'm unsure about my exact plans (story of my life) but will get in touch if I find I have the time. Thanks for dropping by and helping with the education, espee - nice!
@@fiascodagama1 if u left without trying the food in Mumbai, then it wud be a loss for you to have left some amazing Indian street food u wud hv ever encountered in Oz…..😀 All the best and wish you in advance a very Happy New Year 2024….👍👍
Hey Stevo. Yeah, right! That's exactly what it sort seems like. Traveling long distance in a tuk tuk would be a tster, I reckon. I'm on the sleeper bus tomorrow to Ahmedabad, Gujurat, in a bed that I don't fit in. Hopefully we'll be able to walk OK when we arrive. Hope all's well, mate, and you are having a good festive season.
“A procession of colorful donkeys” 😅 I can imagine how a British or an Aussie can find this novel and interesting. But it’s a way of life for many in India. Diversity is the beauty in India. It is something I always admire about my country. Enjoy!!!
@@fiascodagama1 should you come to Delhi again so keep posted...and its a joy reading messages from others and how they have enjoyed your journey and giving us insights from your view into our country and people are loving youe presence
Hey Wayne, I think you did find the spot Ganesh pointed out. He said there will be a few shops. I heard an American saying "the street food is more likely to be fresh as they sell out quickly and cooked in front of you which is more likely to be hygienic than old reheated restaurant food." Perhaps you can find very vivid flavours on street than consistent commercial flavours in resturants . It is usual to have 4 Gulab Jamun at once. Usually food sellers will not charge you extra or take a tip, as food is seen as a social service, you may have felt that vibe. Although, if you want to tip then give it to the workers specially if there are young working kids. They work 10-12 hours, 7 days a week. Almost all the travel vlogs in India ends up as food review channel. Just giving a heads up lol Oh God retirement age in Aussie is 67. It did look like jaggery, unprocessed sugar from sugarcane. You confused me with peanuts theory. I almost changed my answer to hazelnut lol.
Wow,! Great comment, ashish, so much information. I wondered about tipping and whether it was appropriate because whenever I say I don't want my change, the people always insist I take it. Maybe I have to be discreet and just give it quietly to the servers. I know a lot of people do food vlogs, but being new I've never tried it so thought I would do a couple. Back to a travel video tomorrow. :) Sorry if I confused you, I confuse myself. lol. Always nice to see you, ashish.
Food, historical sites and people and Wayne’s views on India the perfect balance! But i don’t want to tell Wayne what he should do! I want to see the channel evolve to where?, who knows, iam a big fan
@@bruce4130 You're a staunch, kind, and avid supporter who I'm most grateful to have onboard, bruce. Dinner's on me should we ever be in the same place. Allowing people to evolve at their own pace and toward their own direction without expectation is a trait very few people have a grasp on, and speaks volumes to me. Cheers, mate.
@@fiascodagama1 I had been noticing the locals understand you quite well in Rajasthan. I will be interested in your experience of communicating with people with a list of easiest to hardest city to communicate in English in the end sometime when you have travelled more. Your feedback will help more tourists. ♥
Most Indian street foods are freshly prepared and deep fried, which makes them generally safe. A shop wouldn't last long if its food made people sick. If one uses common sense, follow what the locals do (say, avoid the ice), and drink your own (or bottled) water, then, barring bad luck, you should be okay.

@@fiascodagama1 I have seen lots of comments of people regarding their concerns related to this issue and always thought to write this for for them. :)
Hi Wayne and everyone here. As soon as my stomach is bahut mazboot, I'll look for that dal pakwan or whatever it's called. Gulab Jamun is one of my top three favorite Indian sweets. Heck I love all Indian sweets overall. The people of India are so friendly as they usually want to talk to us foreigners. Happy trails to your next destination.
@@fiascodagama1 That's an understatement about the sleeper berth being a bit small 🤣. You're taller than I am and I had an uncomfortable sleep in the one from Jaipur to Udaipur. If possible next time, see if you can get the double sleeper berth that's for couples as you'll have more space and thus hopefully a better night's rest. Happy & Prosperous 2024. You'll see how much love and magic ✨ India 🇮🇳 and her people will continue to show you and the channel. 😎🙏🏻
Did you try both gulag jamun dark and light brown , in some places they have stuffed nuts in it and it’s very tasty it breaks the sweetness when nut is there in gulag jamun
Keep trying food from famous outlets of that city to know authentic food with real taste cause sometimes people are selling tasteless food in cheap price.. You will find different food in every part of India. If you visit to Pune Maharashtra please let me know I will take you to some food joints
@@fiascodagama1 I learnt about Jaggery a while back when I venture into my local Indian food place in Melbourne, it isn’t refined and is healthier! You will notice too the cane sugar drinks at street food stalls in some places! Nice!😊
The thing you are calling a daal is actually the 'Pakwan' and its made up of all purpose floor deepfried bread. And the yellow thing is actually the daal made of lentils.
Best street foods is in surat in gujarat and Indore in madhya pradesh, both are just next to rajasthan state, if you have time, then visit them, specially surat, it's my hometown in gujarat Nd if you love nature and quiet places then visit kerala, it's full of green lush nd peace, completely opposite of Rajasthan nd it's in south India
@@fiascodagama1 yes it is beautifull, south India is full of greenary nd less population, while north is populated, if you have time go visit andaman nd nicobar islands too, it has world best beaches,
Hi chief please don't eat Street food every where unless it is recommended by locals if not you are going to fall sick.better go for vegetarian food in nice hotels wherever you see families eating. That is the indication for good food.be safe go safe and healthy to your country chief..
I appreciate your concern, but as mentioned in the video I believe with a little caution street food can be enjoyed without to much problem. Thanks for stopping by.
I was only thinking about this today. I'm not sure I feel like the cold, or at least being that cold, just now. I might get there in a few months when it's warmer. Thank for dropping by.
Hi jas. I'll be in Delhi in about six weeks to renew my visa - I have to fly out of the country then back in again, so I'll be flying from Delhi to Kathmandu, I think. Thanks for saying hi.
What's ur thoughts on tipping culture in the west vs india, at some places in west its almost compulsory to tip at least $5, in south asian countries tip is looked down upon
Sir it's called Puri not chapati guy has miss guide you it's call Puri. Chapatis is cooked on tava with butter and puri is fried in oil. Your nature is very friendly.
