Mumbai or Delhi, which city would you rather visit?

[berlin]

Dude saw 2 cows in his entire trip and put them in the thumbnail🤣
Could have put in the Marine Drive or the Gateway of India or the Taj or Oberoi hotel.
Gotta enforce the stereotypes I guess🙃

[ccyylll]

As a Chinese, I admire the English level of Indians, seems that everyone can speak English👍👍👍

[AuntyJack]

I liked the postcard seller he spoke excellent English and seemed very kind. I wish him very good luck.

Reliance Metro should reward the guy! Best Employee of the Month. He was so helpful.

Hi Ken, couple of suggestions and tips.
1. You missed the CSMT station exterior facade by exiting from the other side. It's a UNESCO heritage building and a popular landmark.
2. You didn't notice the Taj Palace in front of Gateway. The market you visited was Colaba Causeway.
3. Tip - start walking away and they'll most probably agree to your price
4. All these people who come to foreigners for pictures are domestic tourists who come from small cities & villages usually for low paying jobs.
5. Go to Lower Parel, Worli to experience the skyline and Richie riches of Mumbai.
6. Go to BKC (Sandra Kurla Complex) to experience something similar to Cyber Hub Gurgaon which you really liked.
7. If you plan on coming to Hyderabad or Bangalore. Let me know.

24:44 you didn't even notice this beautiful building. It is the famous Taj Mahal Palace hotel founded by Jamshedji Tata(Tata Group), It is considered one of the finest hotels in the East. it has long history and heritage, you should read about Taj & Tata Group.

Seems Mumbai way better than Delhi, no sales man chasing you, traffic is better.
I like your vlog, you can persistently describe the matter itself without personal emotions even in a trouble.

Was it compulsory to show cow on track if it is not in real

6:27 . That boy is so humble... Thank you boy for the help and making us proud❤❤

[TheEddieToro]

Ken I have visited both Mumbai and Delhi and I prefer Mumbai way more than Delhi. Mumbai is pretty chilled out compared to Delhi and has lots of cool places to visit. People are pretty friendly. You do have slums there too and some areas with lots of trash so its got a lot of cool and uncool places to see. AQI is much cleaner in Mumbai.

Nice video, I couldn’t stop watching! Pleasantly surprised by Mumbai, that’s for sure

yo ken, i have seen bunch of your videos, i have to say i like your way of vlogging. you are not hyping things up and not downgrading unnecessarily. Also i liked your english accent with german tone, its calming to listen. Keep travelling and enjoy!

[李柯-mk]

In my country, there are not many people who can speak English, and many people have never met foreigners in their lives. I admire that every Indian can speak English.

[InvestedAdventure]

Been to both recently, but Mumbai has my heart over Delhi! The vibe, the energy, and the street food scene in Mumbai just steal the show for me. There's something about the bustling streets and the sea breeze that Delhi can't quite match.🇮🇳

[riteshkumar]

Such a humble and honest vlogger and aslo intelligent...

[sasodekar]

4:50 meaning of local ticket is- Local train or suburban train ticket. Its named as Local train ticket.

It's pretty interesting seeing the metro systems in India as they didn't exist when I was in India twenty years ago!! I hope you enjoy India, it is my favourite country to backpack!! Try to visit the Tibetans in McLeod Ganj up in Himachal Pradesh and do the day hike to Triund! Very beautiful!! Happy Travels

[holdenmexico]

I love the guy helped you on the metro station! He was so kind, right? Well, actually all the people in India are kind.
