The train tracks are the trams. It's the only city that has the 120 year old trams still operating.

[@odomangulati7079]

Just so that you know, Mumbai has ALREADY banned these death trap Fiat yellow-black cabs. Also the law states the life limit of vehicle is 15 YEARS, not 35 Years. Kolkata cabs run by bribing the police and politicians. Its something shameful, not something to be proud off.

[@neil_XXX]

@@odomangulati7079 This cabs are there because the locals want them to, the gov wanted to remove them. But they are a part of the local culture

[@odomangulati7079]

@@neil_XXX Next you will tell me that pissing on the street too is "local culture". Car safety laws and pollution control exist for a reason. These cabs don't even have air bags. Maybe you can petition govt. to get rid of air bags in all cars claiming "local culture".

Did you visit the new part of the Kolkata city named Newtown? Newtown was developed in 2010 and is much more organized than what you see in this part.

[@dr.s.mallick]

When I visited Kolkata I was surprised to see the 150 yrs old trams still working, even some of them have been transformed into AC trams preserving the vintage architecture. You should have taken a ride. It's a unique experience.

[@alanshannon3884]

Sounds like a cool experience, can’t believe they are 150 years old😮

[@boiscooka232]

My question is why India didn't build new one 😂

[@anikbhattacharya2734]

[@Trying_to_settle_on_Earth]

​@@boiscooka232We are good at preserving old and adding new. We did not add new trum lines because they are vintage. We added metro, which is new. So yes, Kolkata knows how to take care of both old and new. Visit Bengal and experience it yourself.

Hope you both liked the vibrancy of my city! Writing from England..

[@randomname931]

"there's no honking", as I hear endless honking non-stop in the background.

[@alani3992]

Thats why people are warned not to go to North India. Bombay is slightly better, esp South Bombay, but Kolkata people seem more chilled.

[@alanshannon3884]

Kolkata was definitely our favourite city we visited

[@odomangulati7079]

Kolkata people are more chilled and more friendly. Mumbai folks are all business and always in a hurry. In fact, Kolkata now looks far more cleaner than Mumbai and that was certainly a surprise.

[@anirbanbhattacharya2146]

It was the capital of British India after all!! Honestly Kolkata or Calcutta was a great city in every aspect back in the 1800s. Business, culture, entertainment, politics, government everything. It has gone down in value a lot but God willing we shall revive once again!!

[@kerorikun8910]

​@@anirbanbhattacharya2146well kolkata may be down for a while due to politics but it will never be out of game bc it has nature's blessings

[@surajitmondal823]

The guide roasted East Bengal to foreigners as well😂. But as a guide he should have pushed for both clubs.

[@alanshannon3884]

Thanks for watching! We actually wasnt our guide, we just met him in a coffeeshop about 5 minutes before we started the video and he joined us!

[@tansurudra8093]

push whom? whose management celebrate the loss of mohunbagan? That club should be a termed as a shame of Kolkata culture.

[@_Scarlett.t]

Kolkata is the newest "old" city in india. Created by the brits as a reflection of london. Neo-Gothic, Victorian and Indo-Saracenic architectural styles are only a few of the many architectural styles on display in the city. Maybe thats why you feel it to be so familiar. ❤

[@_Scarlett.t]

And also when you come for the next time I hope you can visit Darjeeling, kalingpong it's the hill station of west bengal. You'll surely enjoy stay in there also❤

[@sabbir.travel]

Calcutta Street Food is - objectively - one of the best in the country; choosing to eat wings over getting a Kathi Roll from Nizam or a plate of Biryani from Aminia - made no sense.

[@alanshannon3884]

We ate Kathi Rolls also, but we fancied wings so we ate wings 👍🏻

[@louml6233]

My nephew went to India for work. The first few days he was there, he got diarrhea so bad. My fear of going to India is hygiene and filthy.

[@merryweather4988]

My friend husband went and had diarrhoea the whole week he was there. A cousin went with a team of 6 or 7 for a cycle tour for a few days, by the time they made it out they all had suffered from diarrhoea.

[@user-uf8ke5dn3b]

The first day of my trip to India, I had diarrhea from eating local food, and I had to pull for a few days in a row. I had to go back home early. The hygiene in India is terrible

[@bg53rockylayek4]

If your digestive system is weak what indians can do ?

[@kerorikun8910]

...no wonder u ppl suffered so much during corona

[@ABO-Destiny]

I trust the blood type distribution map of the world and some following of videos from Peter D'Adamo of 'Eat right for your blood type' fame and Dr. Eric Berg's youtube channel to avoid certain foods even if they taste good, mostly i avoid milk based foods, all these even though I was born in Kolkata and had to drink undrinkable tubewell water during early part of my life and that had cost me lot of stomach problems. Hygiene could be an issue for white foreigners in India but i think diarrhoea is not result of the kind of unhygienic food you people are thinking of, most european affordable restaurants have clean interiors and kitchens though not to the level in your places, but more than that I think its mostly the choice of food and extreme weathers which would be affecting In India always buy bottled water ,preferably from Pepsi or Bisleri and avoid sweating out in the heat too much. Adjust timings to venture out during sunset or very early morning.

[@djokerdevil]

You are bining the shoes after he so carefully worked at them - only because he asked for a bit extra which you would have tipped anyway? it's a lost art from and they work on the foota all day and you couldn't just be a little considerate. Just wow,

[@alanshannon3884]

No I binned the shoes as they were absolutely done in and it was time for new ones mate Why would I bin shoes because someone asked for more…
