[@raymeah9848]

I'm surprised you didn't die of dysentery or cholera eating that crap. They don't wash their hands before food preparation as many lack access to sanitation facilities India 🤢

hiiKolkata

[@shourjoroychaudhuri3111]

I love my city

[@shilpabaidyametaphoricallies]

This is the most beautifully captured video of kolkata I have seen so far. It's not unnaturally aesthetic. It's raw. It doesn't focus on anything to alter the idea. It isn't stereotypical. It's not grunge. It captures the essence without overdoing it. Its a retreat

[@grrrltraveler]

I appreciate that feedback! I was trying to communicate the honest charm I saw, felt inspired by and which makes it a unique beauty amidst other cities. Truly charming city !

[@ml5350]

Sandeepa baidya treat , not retreat

[@timetotravel0620]

happiness is watching own City in a KZbin video posted by a foreigner

[@grrrltraveler]

It was a magical city to me. I squeezed Delhi and Mumbai out of their top seats.

Joke of the century

[@dipnarayanmukherjee9485]

True

[@ayanangshunayak6081]

You missed Belur Math where the idea of modern India emerged. It's very nice place too.

[@mikeykeyes]

one of the best videos of Kolkata I have seen. So focused on what to do and the general lifestyle instead of the usual Western perspective. Bravo

[@bikashmodak]

You must visit Kolkata in time of Durga Puja one of biggest festival of Bengali People. i'm sure u will find a new Kolkata in those four to Five days.

[@grrrltraveler]

+Bikash Modak I was hoping to go back this year for that festival; unfortunately, my budget cant handle much travel this year. . I just narrowly missed last year by a few days and met some Indians who showed me their photos! WOW!

[@bikashmodak]

Yeah, i know that by watching "Kumortuli'" u got here before the Festival of "Diwali" (Kalipuja) which is also one of biggest festival of India, i think u miss that too (IDK just guessing ) by Departed before it's start. Anyway their always a next year in India for every festival. Hoping to see in India again. Thanks For the Reply.

[@nebula1498]

GRRRLTRAVELER | Christine Kaaloa are you which ethnicity????curious

[@shobharoy2033]

I stay in Kolkata, and it is so irritatingly noisy during Durga Puja, that we take a vacation to Sikkim or Dooars

[@foodietravellerraj]

one time visit to Kolkata during Durga puja is good though it is loud and congested ,u can also travel to other parts of India during Durga puja. Delhi has some good pujas ,so does Mumbai

[@aaqilahs2011]

Your videos give such a refreshing perspective to travelling, and to life itself. Loved how you acknowledged that everyone needs to survive in their own way and that our beliefs aren't going to put food on someone's table. Thank you for making me realise this. :)

[@shatadruray8782]

That song at 6.03 😍

[@seemaadak6613]

M from Calcutta the city of joy but not lives in Calcutta 😔 I miss Calcutta so much I just miss the vibes of Calcutta , cultural festival's, Durga puja, rossogolla all these things are so much special for me, sometimes I feel bad for myself why m not living in kolkata 😂 , even I m a Bengali, being a Bengali and not living in Calcutta I feel so unlucky for myself sometimes . 😊

[@rotitelor]

Awesome! I really enjoyed that. Been wanting to visit Kolkata and your video gives me even more impetus to go. Did you have any stomach upsets with the Kolkata street food? I hear it's wise to avoid any raw vegetables.

[@grrrltraveler]

+rotitelor It's really an incredible city with a lot of character. No stomach problems, despite some of this: kzbin.info/www/bejne/n2mUm4OdeK6UpqM. I'll probably do a travel tip video and guide for India. Seems travelers are always concerned about that.

[@rounakgupta7514]

"my believes won't feed a table or feed a mouth" - take a bow mam, this is what Indians need to release, understanding it can solve a ton of problems.

[@shahnawaj9040]

[@mridulmandal2607]

Hi Christine. That's a great Job indeed that you have done. Hmm, I need some help BTW. I loved the song in the background after 4:30. " chhan chhan baje ghungroo " is the song what I could figure out. But Google doesn't yield the same song that has been played as its search results. Can you please give me the link?

[@grrrltraveler]

+Mridul Mandal description box. But the songs are not free use.

[@mridulmandal2607]

Well, that's why I asked for a link to download that song!

[@ingejustavanderhelm5208]

Hi Christine, what happened to your neck dear (footage on the city bus)?

[@grrrltraveler]

You're the first person to notice! I thought someone was going to mention that waaay earlier. lol They're Japanese Titanium disc stick ons-- very popular in Hawaii. They help blood circulate in places where you eperience pain; my neck strains sometimes because I have a lot of gear in my bag. =0

[@dineshgupta8155]

Love u ,

[@ziniaparven2985]

How much the street food tour costed?

[@shashwatsrivastava3051]

thumbs up

[@digustrail]

U missed...Trum, Metro train, Shantiniketan and many more.

[@mrsrkentertainment3432]

I am from india

[@must.visitplaces9797]

the city was the capital of British raj for more than 180 years beginning of modern India Bengal renaissance

[@srbfilms3409]

mai khud Kolkata

[@arkadip300]

it is not the ideal picture of modern Kolkata.. she mainly pointed the old Kolkata.. which is kind of congested areas.. the new Kolkata, ballygaunge, garia, princep ghat, nandan, Victoria,maidan,college square, science city and whole portion of the south Kolkata is untouched in this video..

[@soubbayaalagappa6293]

Hi really nice video in which month did u go der ???

[@grrrltraveler]

Just missed Durga Puja I think

[@anuswantpandey5239]

Try to go shovabazaar ..... For best services... 😄

[@hameedurrehman7625]

Better city than delhi,mumbai, noida, bangaluru, gurgaon,pune and hyderabad......very underrated city......Beautiful

[@debikalaskar6940]

Kolkata is underrated? Like seriously?

[@souvikmandal46]

These places are at least 200 years old and have their own uniqueness. I think Dakshineswar temple, Victoria Memorial, Princep ghat, bow barrack should have been included.

[@tamaldas5151]

also Alipore Zoo, Coffee House, Mother Teresa House. Jorasanko Thakur Bari, Fort William. Botanical Gardens. National Library. Royal Calcutta Turf Club. Should be included along with Science City, Nicco Park, Eco Park, Aquatica etc.

[@geraldmahoney4856]

I spent 10 months in Calcutta back in 81/82. I had the time of my life. Completely deferent then anything I experienced before. It was my first overseas adventure. From there I went to Bern Switzerland. Talk about culture shock.

[@ronitchak]

Christine , the way you tried to catch the glimpse of vibrant city within very short timespan is remarkable. Only an outsider can notice so many details which is almost impossible to do from inside. (Eg - the manual labor's techniques to lift the weights ) ... :)

[@grrrltraveler]

Vibrant is a good word for Kolkata. I honestly wish I had more time to get deeper with Kolkata. Because I know I'm merely scraping surface and what little I saw was dazzling to me. I think details are easy to notice for foreigners. I have difficulty filming Hawaii for the fact I'm born and bred there and kind of bored. I found those manual laborers absolutely remarkable to do the job that machines or very large men would. We're talking the ability to move "Tons' of weight!!! Very Guinness World Book Record class. =)

[@Oxig]

i am too from kolkata

[@Starfish845]

it's amazing how much kolkata have changed in just 4 years,, way more modern but still holding its culture and heritage

[@mikeykeyes]

This city would have been like Hong Kong were it not for over political, lazy state government and volatile political party adherents; today Kolkata is like Havana - falling behind most Indian cities. Poor roads, barely any manufacturing, political unrest, - but like Havana people still smile and carry on despite the hardship suffered.

[@swarajmukherjeemukhopadhya4932]

Come here ।। and discover new Kolkata here ।।। Then you can discuss about Kolkata or you can submit your opinion ।।।।।।।

[@JayantaMandal38]

@Millard Keyes absolutely right

[@teodorabeljic5800]

Lovely. I lived in Cal in the 70 ties for 4 yrs and went back 2 yrs ago! Such a change for good.

[@TheSubhajitbiswas]

U missed some good places like Victoria memorial, princep ghat, shibpur botanical garden, belur math, science city, nandan etc.

[@chanchalpaul8979]

Right

[@debjani0222]

India n Bangladesh.. stop fighting with each other. It's all about Bengal or the sub contingent. The point here to note is that these videos are intended to shoot only some old, primitive and dirty sides of the culture and show to the world. There are amazing things about the city or this part of the world which are not shoot. If you guys have had realized the intention of the videos here, wish the country would never been divided

[@newsjunkieish]

I hope you washed your hands before licking those fingers. 😂 Roadside food joints that see a regular clientele are usually safe to eat at. Also deep fried food without fillings are safer.

[@sylviachen1600]

I loved this video and it took me back to my childhood as I grew up in Kolkata and went to school in Darjeeling! I live in Chicago now and have not been back so this was so great to watch!

[@grrrltraveler]

Glad you liked it. What an incredible childhood you had!

[@kyshark1]

Wow I'm loving this video of my hometown! Amazing job in capturing the quintessential kolkata and I'm also amazed by your level of knowledge! I'm now missing the kolkata street food...all thanks to you 😃

[@soumendramajumder13]

Hi! Christine, similar to Kolay & New Market, there is a place called Burra Baazaar in the Northern fringes of the city, it's the largest market/business area of Kolkata. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burrabazar I hope that you would be visiting Kolkata some time in the future again during the Durga Puja season. And thanks for your travel videos.

[@nishachoudhary5991]

Victoria memorial open for all on 2nd January 2020??? Please reply me.....bcz on Google it is showing that Victoria memorial is closed.... We are planning to visit kolkata this new year... So can you please suggest me some places where we can go and which will not be closed on 2nd January

[@srinjoykumarmitra1698]

Okay First of all great job. Second is, you got scammed by the Food Tour. Actually the small pages of fb and instagram started this and they charge exessive for this. That is a scam. We Calcuttans don't indulge in that kind of prctices but as you are a tourist, you might not have known and fell in the trap. So make your fans and friends aware of this before they come to Kolkata and try street food.

[@lokenrc]

Although this vlogger obviously didn’t plan it like that, this video shows up in its true view of being the filthiest mega city of India, thanks to 4 decades of abdominal misrule and corrupt political administration.

[@pradipraychaudhuri7252]

Kolkata is the gateway of Eastern and North eastern India. From 1873 to 1911 the then Calcutta was the capital of British India.

[@AritraBhattacharyya91]

"My beliefs will not feed a mouth" --- WOW! If only Indians thought this way stopped interfering in others' food habits.
